Yikes

I disagree, and I don't feel like talking about this further.

That isn't a consent issue, it's a false accusation. It's common for all sorts of crimes to be used for manipulation; either to deflect blame or to cause damage to someone's reputation. Even if the language of consent is used, it's not really about consent; in a different cultural paradigm the same false accusation would be made with different words

Good catch, wtf

Vague = no

I don't think anyone is arguing that animals have no understanding of consent, I think the issue is that there's a communication barrier in dealing with humans (I.e. they can't say 'yes')

Zoologists have a pretty robust understanding of rape and consent within the animal kingdom, but it's always through observing interactions between animals.

I'm sincerely wishing you good luck. More solar more better.

Oil is made of sunshine and rainbows dummy, where do you think the energy comes from?

Ancient plants metabolized sunshine to produce fats and sugars, which were then consumed by animals. It all got cooked into a soup from millions of years of heat and pressure. Oil is basically a solar battery.

What's wrong with gathering new solar energy?

I hate it here
