Alternatively, people find engaging with bugs "yucky" so they prefer having an excuse not to step on a spider :\

Hey Maria! In case you aren't aware of them and their work, you might be interested in reaching out / following @Gidi Kadosh (VIVID), @spencerg (Spencer Greenberg of Clearer Thinking), @Inga (Inga Grossman of Rethink Wellbeing), and probably others I'm blanking out on 😊

Also, I'm curious about what you mean by "Foundations of Protection"?

For reference, @Kirsten also took a look into it several years ago - https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/Kc4xQAu8R2qQnpzn8/khorton-s-shortform?commentId=epQcsE7PMNc4SENuT

Thanks! This really clarifies the situation for me.

Prices. Target frames its failure to meet its pledge in equity terms, stating [...]

From Chicken Watch, we find Target's 2016's commitment. There, it's stated that 

We Will:

• Transition to only cage-free shell eggs by 2025, pending available supply.

While in their 2025 report linked above (this), and in their website , it's framed as a goal rather than a commitment:

Eggs: In 2016, Target set a goal to transition to a 100% cage-free egg supply chain by 2025 pending available supply.

I'm curious about the legality of this. Did they initially frame it as a commitment? Assuming their argument about unavailable (cheap) supply doesn't hold, are they legally bound to uphold their commitment?

I wonder how many people come across EA as a result of a mental health problem and post traumatic growth

Incredible work!

Assuming at least half of the upvote value of high-karma posts-comments is from people with base upvote value.itd be interesting to check how that is actually distributed
