What does it mean? I’m not a native English speaker

Not quite, because there’s also (justified) retaliation going on

It also makes sense for good, honest journalists to use this language. Because they’re trying to be neutral and leaving the opinion forming up to the reader, as far as they can. They want to let the facts speak for themselves. Even if they’re pro Ukraine, they want the facts to convince you to be pro Ukraine, not their phrasing.

So, regardless of whether they’re rage baiting, paid off by Russia, or trying to do honest journalists, it always makes more sense to use neutral language rather than having a pro Ukraine bias.

That is an important distinction, true! But that just means they’re the target group of all those resource-intensive innovations towards animal based proteins that are more sustainable. So I felt it important to consider them.

Politely disagree. I think we’re kidding ourselves if right wing conspiracy theorists are the only anti plant based crowd. There’s plenty of otherwise leftist people that would never question this one unjustified hierarchy. The meat and dairy industries have done a stellar job with advertising over many decades. Most people still believe we NEED meat or dairy to thrive. And even those that don’t very often wouldn’t give up the sensory pleasure of the taste and texture of meat or other animal products.

Ikr? I have to use YouTube a specific way. I’ll go to a channel and go to the tab that just lists the videos chronologically. I’ll go back there if I want a second video. The only way I find new creators I enjoy watching is through recommendation/someone sending a link to a group chat. Shame really, I bet there’s plenty of content out there that I’d enjoy, but I can’t handle the algorithm.

I think the Facebook thing is because it was more or less the first social media that pretty much everyone was on. Everything before was a little more niche. But back in, like, 2010, it felt like you were missing out if you weren’t on FB. At least that’s my experience/guess (I’m 27 and in middle Europe).

Lemmy is the only one I’ll log onto and the only one I have as an app.

Sometimes though, I’ll miss a super specific community from the place spez ruined, and scroll through it in DuckDuckGo browser.

Anything that has an intransparent, engagement driving, ad laden algorithm that determines what you do and don’t see is thoroughly unappealing to me. At least now that I’m a little more tech savvy and anti-corporate.

I guess I do technically have a Facebook account still because I don’t remember the password of either that account or the associated email address. I used that for local flea market and food sharing groups up until maybe 6 years ago.

Im having a hard time understanding why there’s so much time and effort being put into finding new sustainable protein sources when we already have legumes

Similar experience growing up here.

I taught myself every single adult skill in my early 20s. I couldn’t have done it without the internet.

I’m a great cook though. I’ll figure out how to wash clothes without ruining them next.

How is that different from money?

I know this is an old post, but do you have any tips for growing out nails? That’s some stunning length!

In general, medical predictions are a very good example of using AI to benefit humanity, not just shareholders. It’s still scary if it’s done by a private company.

Could it be that it isn’t an actual ancient myth, but a modern(ish) story that reinterprets the myth of Achilles in the context of a different culture? Because that is suspiciously similar.

We have five bedrooms and one bathroom for five people. Well, usually more people because there’s always someone’s partner here as well. I used to share a bedroom and it’s horrible for my anxiety. I need the luxury of privacy.

Maybe not if you’re elderly and have diminished sensation and sight

Sorry if I’m being thick, but is there any use to these other than making a statement?

I have one singular belly hair that is like 2-3cm long and not even in the centre. It’s like ten centimetres to the side of my belly button. The rest of my belly hair is peach fuzz (part black part white). That one also always regrows.

Edit: I have a few nose hairs that are black and a bit more course than usual face fuzz. Like maybe about ten?

Man this would be me if I could afford both booze and a bike. I guess the health side effects of not drinking to safe money are nice though!

The beer part seems too narrow in general.
