Only millions of people that were simply born in the wrong place. Only a world superpower potentially turning into an autocratic regime in support of other tyrants.
But sure, other than the existential threat of the largest exporter of culture and most powerful military on earth in a country that has a history of imperialism and warmongering falling under the control of an autocratic regime of fascists, sure. Nothing of value.
Mine did this too for years, constantly from fall through spring, but I recently got surgery where they found a polyp in my sinus cavity, and now that it’s been removed my nose doesn’t run at all anymore except when I’m not sick.
Apologies! I couldn’t see any pronouns from the image so defaulted to gender nonspecific they. Edited.
Regardless of your opinion on whether dude has become genderless or not (I also use dude for my friends of any gender), the word is a gendered term that has become ubiquitous. If someone doesn’t want me to use “dude” referring to them, I won’t. It’s not good to assume, so until I know that someone doesn’t mind, I’m not going to use gendered terms contrary to their gender. I wouldn’t call a man “sis” or “girl” the same way I would women I’m friends with, unless I know that doesn’t make them uncomfortable. I wouldn’t call a woman “bro” or “guy” the same way I would men I’m friends with unless I checked. All of those terms are gender nonspecific for me, but they might make someone who doesn’t have my lived experience uncomfortable.
The user’s pronouns were in her username, OP’s client just doesn’t display additional lines.
I recommend sticking to gender nonspecific instead of defaulting to masculine.
It did. OP’s client doesn’t display it. It’s pure miscommunication.
What are you on about? There are plenty of great sources of protein that aren’t meat, and I have friends that have been vegan for decades and are healthy, some of which are in incredibly good shape. Also, you’re not even right about the “recover from a single steak” thing, because our bodies stop processing meat properly after enough time having not eaten it, and too much too soon can make you sick. Additionally, I never claimed to be vegan! Weird takes all around.
They appear to have deleted their comment, this is what it said:
And the common trend of vegans becoming really sickly only to recover after a single steak means nothing to you?
Then agian, you are eating eggs so you aren’t REALLY going Vegan, there’s still plenty of protein in there.
It’s not racist to point out the systemic biases present in systems. Private schools have overwhelmingly white students from affluent families. It isn’t right, but it isn’t racist to point it out.
I believe they were being sarcastic.
I’m not vegan, I’m vegetarian, but I don’t need any supplements to be just fine. I know plenty of vegans who are happy and healthy without supplements. It isn’t that hard to find sources elsewhere in your diet. I’ve never understood the malnutrition argument, when we’ve known that you can be perfectly healthy (and statistically healthier than otherwise) when eating vegan. You can’t just eat salads and expect to be okay, but doesn’t that sound like such a bland diet anyways? I prefer making stir fries, burritos, stews, and other mixed dishes where I can hit all the macro and micro nutrients my body needs. I’m very healthy and haven’t eaten meat or animal products outside of humanely sourced eggs (my friend has chickens) for years.
I think the other comment covered it but I believe this demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of what makes photography such an amazing artform. People study and practice, for a long time, to take photos like this. This isn’t a cell phone pointed in the general direction of a subject with conveniently optimal lighting for its tiny lens, though that could produce a good picture, this takes a great deal more experience, preparation, and creativity to frame and capture the subject in a certain way with extraordinary timing to get a dynamic, emotion-filled result.
Yikes. A world without artists would be a dark, dark place. What an incredibly terrible take, unless you’re implying that the only art that counts as labor is when it’s for a corporation, in which case, even worse take, yikes again.
It’s Lemmy, and it took maybe 5 minutes of scrolling for this to be on my front page. Your comment irked me and I want to increase engagement on the site, sue me.
They never said they’re in the left lane, and in fact specifically specified against it. Sounds like you’re both defensive and an aggressive driver.
Unfortunately not an option for most stores where I live.
I missed the original comment and this discussion now makes no sense. Why would you edit the content of your comment when you don’t care about the points or the outrage?
It isn’t 90 degrees because the image is misleading. 60+40+y=180. y=80
I don’t know how much you can trust the narrative when the media is all state controlled and anti-party speech is at best minimized, at worst censored. Total state control of the narrative is not conducive to free and fair elections, not to mention a police state. Before you whatabout, I’m well aware that the US is a police state and is controlled by two parties of neo-libs. I’m no supporter of the US, but I’m also no supporter of any autocratic regime. Calling the PRC a fair democracy is at best willfully ignoring the extreme state control over information, at worst denying a tyrannic despot twisting socialism into an autocratic, capitalist dictatorship while silencing opposition.
Genuinely, I cannot tell what your point is. In some alternate universe, are we just rolling the rocks downhill? Don’t you think we’d already be doing that? This seems like a great use case to replace diesel trucks with ones that recharge themselves using potential energy from ore. This absolutely is a galaxy brain moment, in that it’s a very smart idea.
