I have trouble with using tone in my words but not interpreting tone from others' words. Weird, isn't it?

It's interesting how individualism and socialism interact with each other, and how a degree of the latter can promote the former.

The subscription's 10 items per month, not per year, and return the next month. Babies outgrow really quickly when they're young.

According to Or Collective’s website, I have saved £640 over the past two months. Not that I would have ever spent that much - the clothes I borrow from brands such as Bobo Choses and Tinycottons are much pricier than I’d ever be able to justify, which is part of the service’s appeal. My daughter is far better dressed than I am as a result. That said, you can buy them at a reduced price if you become particularly attached.

I don't think all friends and family own all these stuff either. And this really does save money. The machine here is at most consumerism, incentivizing us to pay extra and own everything we'll use for like at most a month, which I think is too far of a stretch.

Even better would be that Arcimoto MUV thing. Sadly it appears they went bankrupt

They brought it to market for six glorious years but couldn't achieve mass-production and spent way too much on a ton of SKUs most people don't want before they basically went bankrupt.

Commander was sent to an undisclosed location after the Secret Service recorded 24 biting episodes involving him between October 2022 and July 2023, about half of which required medical attention.

The South Dakota governor, who had been widely seen as a contender to be former President Donald J. Trump’s running mate, wrote in the book about a female wire-haired pointer named Cricket that she had hoped to use to hunt pheasant on her ranch. She said that the dog proved “untrainable,” “dangerous to anyone she came in contact with” and “less than worthless” as a hunting dog — so she shot her in a gravel pit.

In the CBS interview, Ms. Noem sought to defend the killing of Cricket — and a goat she also shot the same day — as “a choice I made over 20 years ago” to “protect people.”

[Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?

Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don't come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don't really get upset by it...

The thought of private vegan BBQs is funny to me since it seems so much more energy inefficient than the meat they don't eat in that meal.

Whatever their food is, 1kg of beef requires 24kg of grain's worth of energy. This is something they teach in high-school biology now. The higher the food chain, the more energy is lost. Stopping such production would be pretty beneficial to the environment, but whether we should is a complicated question.

WHO report

someone else online summarized the genetics part as the following:

Mandelian randomisation studies show that LDL-c is causative in atherogenic plaques 1 and metabolic ward RCTs show that SFA intakes increase LDL-c, while the decrease in SFAs lead to lower total and LDL-c 2.

But yes, almost all nutrition science is a bit inconclusive because of genetic variation.

The thing about individual action is that if it works, it all adds up. But if people all blame the corporations, individual action makes no dent in the over 50% of emissions that individuals help make; a self-fulfilling prophecy. And yes, over 50%. Politifact goes into detail about how most emission indeed comes from consumption instead of corporate production.

Interesting. However, a search says that feeding all the grass (or whatever) to cattle takes that food away from existing ecosystems in dry areas and potentially allow exotic weeds to take over land. So we probably don't want this to expand to the point where we intrude on dry ecosystems.

I don't think it tries to compare carbohydrates to any UFAs, but the implication is indeed that SFAs significantly contribute to heart disease.

SCMP is basically Hong Kong's WSJ

Aatube ,
@Aatube@kbin.melroy.org avatar

SCMP is widely recognized as HK's newspaper of record.

WSJ is also owned by Newscorp, so I believe it's a fair comparison even though Alibaba now owns SCMP.

Searching HKET on Wikipedia leads me to a page with a "Conservatism in China" sidebar.

Abstruse Goose webcomic. Execs are at a meeting where they learn that the Galaxy S10+ features 5 cameras. They get mad even though they know that Samsung is "overcompensating for something", but decide to try and kick their ass by fitting 11 cameras and 2 vertical USB-A ports on teh back and 4 USB ports on the left side and 6 USB ports on the right side and 1 USB port on the bottom, creating a phone that, when all plugged in from the sides, looks like a fucking spider.

It’s worth noting that this money funneling operation doesn’t look to be illegal, as research intended for publication doesn’t fall under the purview of the ban. Huawei operates similar competitions in other parts of the world, though openly. People who participated in the US-based research competition didn’t even know that Huawei was involved, believing the money to come from Optica. The competition awards $1 million per year and Optica didn’t give any indication that Huawei was supplying the cash.

Deducing from headlines and circumstances while ignoring crucial information is exactly what QAnon does

Aatube ,
@Aatube@kbin.melroy.org avatar

I intended to make it more like a cautionary tale. QAnon can happen to the best of us, and seedy thoughts that still consider that it was an illness for a while are sort of an entry point to the thought pattern behind conspiracy theories. If one builds tolerance to this kind of leap, it'll be easier to build tolerance for much bigger leaps.

Aatube ,
@Aatube@kbin.melroy.org avatar

Everyone is vulnerable in one way or another. Of course, wondering is natural, but seriously accepting it, as some in this thread have done, is a QAnon kind of leap.

Aatube ,
@Aatube@kbin.melroy.org avatar

Well, there only has to be a strong possibility to warn against it.

No, they don’t. If you’re referring to their ebook selections, they pay for a specific number of licenses to an ebook, then only allow a specific number of patrons to check those ebooks out at any given time. They do this using DRM, to ensure that patrons have their access removed when their checkout period is up. Because refusal to comply would run them afoul of copyright laws and their ebook licensing.

There's this famous quote from Nietzsche:

When you stare into the abyss the abyss stares back at you.

Has nothing to do with voids, though

Aatube ,
@Aatube@kbin.melroy.org avatar

Yeah, and as I've posted below Javert stares into the void in Les Mis. The only combination that isn't really poetic is screaming into the abyss; everything else exists, ergo it's not a mixup.
