  • You seem to be under the impression that there’s only 2 agruments here when in reality there is at least 3.

    Your interpretation seems to be that Either Vigilante justice is never OK, or vigilante justice is always OK.

    No one here is arguing that vigilante justice is always OK.

    The argument here is between vigilante justice is always OK, and vigilante justice is sometimes OK.

    The examples of slave revolts and lynchings of black people both fall into the camp of sometimes. Slave revolts are always morally good, while racist lynchings of black people are always not morally good. Both were illegal at the same time, but at no point is it argued that both are always morally good.

    Because you mentioned killing off entire hives because they’re sick, I was wondering about what a vegans ethical stance on culling would be and what, if any, situations culls might be acceptable from a vegans perspective.

    For example, the beehive which has been infected. Bees don’t understand virology or social isolation or even the concept of “passing it on”. What do you do when a hive of infected bees breaks up and starts infecting other hives? Desieses can be devastating to local domesticated and wild swarms if left unchecked. Would a cull be acceptable in this situation to prevent more death and suffering?

    How about in areas where humans have already tinkered with the food chain and wiped out all other apex predators? In some places, controlled culling of heards of deer is necessary to prevent them from overfeeding and wiping out other species further down the food chain and eventually themselves?

    As I understand, most vegans would prefer the natural solutions such as reintroducing apex predators but that’s not always possible. Likewise, I don’t think most vegans would advocate for a dawinist solution to infected beehives.

    I’m purely asking this from a point of genuine interest and not out of any desire to be proven right or wrong so please don’t take this as any attempt at point scoring.






  • Damn, that’s a far cry from my experience with MX mice honestly. I’ve had my MX 2 from release and nothing like you’ve described happened to the coating on mine. I know some of that’s likely down to body chemistry, I have fairly dry hands and I keep my periferals religiously clean so perhaps I’m not the best example of an average end user.

    As for breakage, again, nothing of the sort. My brother has a master 2s and my brother in law has the master 3 and neither of them have had any breakage except that I had to swap a puffy battery on my brothers one about 4 years in which isn’t unusual for lipos and liions that are kept at full charge for extended periods of time.

    Again, not questioning your experience at all, we all have different situations that we use them in and I don’t know what yours is, but just wanted to share my personal experience.


  • For all their failings, Logitech master mice do tick most of your boxes.

    I replaced the battery in my master 2 not long ago although I had to buy new skates for it it only took about 10 mins of work and the battery was a very basic, standard Li-ion, not custom hardware.

    Not USB C to be fair but when you only have to charge it once a month or every 3 if you upgrade to a higher capacity battery is something I can live with personally.
