Not sure where the debate is this moment but from my understanding, vegans won’t eat honey.

Its going to sound silly, but I can’t get past how confident he is and how quickly he posts. Noone makes good arguments with that little thought. At least thats my current theory on why he bothers me.

Who knows though maybe I’m projecting.

Fuck that guy.

For me it was understanding the idea of equilibrium. The way I use it is to mean the state of something given enough time that highs and lows have evened out.

A practical example is with common diet mentality of dieting until reaching a goal, and then stopping the diet. The diet is a peak, not dieting is a valley, over time youll end up back at the same weight or more. Basically the problem is that modern diets give people high expectations when studies show the most likely scenario is that the weight is lost, and gained back plus some.

So what will work. If we think of this long term equilibrium, the dieting doesnt work because they aren’t permanent changes. So if we agree the only way to stay healthy long term is to make permanent changes, we can agree that making cumulative small permanent changes that affect diet will ultimately result in lost weight.

Sugar is the easiest to target IMO. Dairy, meat, and fish also are good things to target too as they cause other health problems besides weight gain. Switching to mainly water is another thing. Even taking on a new hobby or exercising a slight bit more will result in a net loss as less time is able to be spent on eating and more energy is spent physically.

Plant based whole food diets usually result in weight loss because they are less calorie dense, so you will feel full with a fraction of the calories in your stomach. Alternatively you can lose weight with calorie dense foods, but you will likely have to deal with hunger more.

Once I started thinking more like this, it was easier to come up with my own changes rather than shopping around diets with absurd restrictions. You know yourself best, make small changes and keep trending in a good direction, and if you make a “mistake” do your best to forget about it and immediately get back to it.

How’s the network wide ad blocking work, that would solve a big issue with my kids.

Is containers here used in the same context as docker? I’m not familiar with podman.

The confusing part is the hosts change animals each panel, but there doesnt seem to be any reason for it. I was looking for a joke that wasnt there :(

Coward.

Is this just a really bad business deal followed by absurdly poor leadership, but very visible?

Did Elon make it obvious he had a completely different vision for twitter when he talked about buying it?

To be fair your question was phrased a bit confusingly. It was hard to tell if you were asking clarification or supporting Elon in some strange way.

Might not be popular but you dont want to restrict that type of stuff in tech, because people very quickly and easily find ways around it, usually by using new similar words that call back to the prohibited ones.

This is an area where moderation is key, and I think people might need to reconsider who they allow to send them direct messages. Especially I expect there to be a better way to vet someone who is trying to directly reach a stranger.

If you are literally going to open your door to the whole world some bad stuff will fall in, but you dont have to let them into your private areas just because they made it in the front door.

Trust networks are another idea, essentially verifying new people through acquaintances.

Did you not post “nothing has intrinsic value”?

Well your body is just a tool your mind uses to complete tasks right? You can be objective about the tools you use can’t you? You could even similarly protect your tools like your mind protects your body if you felt it necessary.

How do you decide what you can be objective about and what you can’t?

If it was drug use wed call this enabling. Family shouldn’t get a pass to be dick bags.

If you think I look silly, sure. All I’m saying is all of the meat advocates that jumped to attack the OP are missing the point.

Now, why would you all misconstrue what they said so bad? Are you all seriously arguing that even close to a substantial percent of people hunt for their own food?

Maybe, just MAYBE, they weren’t talking about all of you who actually have, and instead were making a point about how the vast majority of people in at least the US have not and will not hunt their own food in their lifetime. The number drops if we only consider those who actually provide for themselves with hunting rather than treat it as a sport with meat as a bonus.

No you are right, they must have literally meant that noone has ever hunted ever. That makes much more sense. Definitely doesnt say anything about your reading comprehension.

I get it, they are coming for your meat, probably your guns too. Life’s rough. Keep up the good fight.

All of your efforts at self-preservation seem to disagree.

Hey we can all just work to be better versions of ourselves, and theres a lot of ways to make progress. Considering I’m the only vegan in my family, I likely buy more meat than you do.

Its really just important to me that people dont allow themselves to stop growing mentally and morally. Its sad when people behave like they have all the answers to everything already.

Because more people want meat every year.

Its not buying it that causes the death, its that you’ve shown you want the meat, so the company is killing the animal to produce the meat for you to buy.

You want meat, they produce meat. You dont want meat, they stop producing meat.

The replies to this are chefs kiss

Everyone talks about the annoying vegan, but look at all of the rage-induced replies from the meat eaters.

I counted maybe a dozen strawmen? People really are resistant to any kind of change, even the thought of it.
