Enough to be very sure that my statement is correct. Just the keyword “Uyghurs” should be enough as a point.

I don’t think I have to explain Authoritarianism? Do I?

I have a few friends that migrated from China so I know a fair bit about it. It’s not as bad as the western propaganda machine (I think at this point you can certainly call it like that) tries to sell it, but I still rather like to live in Europe,

You’re on lemmy.ml psst they really like chinese authoritarian oppression. (and I’m being honest given the current state and future of the US they’re probably better off indeed, but that doesn’t make them good)

They seemingly don’t even care about themselves, considering how Trump even acts against them. Just a brainwashed propaganda apparatus these people. It’s sad…

Fear would help here if it would be rational (considering climate change, loss of freedom etc.), but unfortunately it isn’t…

Nah please, we need younger actually representatives of the population, not ancient people (as much as I like Sanders). There’s various young progressive candidates that are suitable when the Dems allow them…

Which I think is almost worse… think about concentration/extermination camps (which I think our animal industry is basically)

And it’s perfectly healthy to be vegan (maybe even more healthy at this point when done right, than meat consumption).

My main reason though for that is less moral than just wanting to be less wasteful, i.e. meat is just inefficient. I predict that we at some point will move past meat consumption, it’s just not necessary, even when considering taste…

I’m not even sure about plants not having something similar as a nervous system. They live on different timescale, but it’s impressive what e.g. Trees in forests are capable of (with a little help of funghi)

Though this potential strategy might backfire to a civil-war where both sides are somewhat equally trained…

Ok, I like that attitude, but could you go into more detail? AFAIK hardware wise the samsung will likely be better in every way I think?

You might’ve heard of it, there’s something that is called water, probably the healthiest you can drink. Otherwise you could eat multiple apples but at some point it gets unhealthy again (still contains quite a bit of fructose…)

Still plenty unhealthy, sugar is absorbed way faster than just eating an apple.

But yeah still more healthy than something that contains HFCS as second ingredient (and thus after water the highest contributing ingredient…)

Helix:

Anyone told you bout NixOS? It’s off-charts, but the secret true final destination…

I have met some very bad people … none as bad as Trump

… “not one decent cell in his body…” (cont.)

I’ve heard Meth keeps you on even longer, the Nazis knew that already with Panzerschokolade.

An insult to cattle…

Don’t forget that the Internet is currently ruined by AI-slop that is continuously flooding once interesting human-created content. This is probably my biggest gripe of AI. I’ve significantly reduced my screen-time, basically stopped coding in my free-time because of this sloppy mess that we call Internet right now…

It’s not correct according to this: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/bondi-epstein-files-system-collapse/

So seemingly fake news.

No doubt bear spray is effective but there is always a chance the predator does not give a shit and is hungry enough to fight through it.

Do you have any evidence for that, I very much doubt it. For one it’s extremely rare that a (brown/black) bear attacks when they’re hungry. And I doubt there’s even a documented case where it continues to attack after being sprayed in the face. Keep in mind bearspray is pepper-spray on steroids.

So all you have likely done with your gun is kill an otherwise relatively peaceful animal, congratulations…

I’m not too sure on Europe’s hunting history however, a lot Canadians still hunt for meat and resources, it’s tradition to a lot of people and has been rooted into our history.

Although I’m not a big fan of hunting, I think it’s a different situation and it’s also where permits are given - after careful psychological evaluation.

Great tradition hoarding killing tools. I’m really happy I’m not contributing to this “society” of yours (that’s at least with one foot deep into fascism)… USA really managed in no time being a laughing stock to the rest of the world…

Bear spray is very effective, probably more so than a gun, if you shit your pants at least at the sight of a bear (but usually it’s the other way around too).

As a European that just shakes his head about Muricas love for kill tools, you don’t need a gun as average person. For rare cases there are strictly regulated permits. But otherwise I’m very glad that I don’t have to fear being shot by MAGAts. Or have basically no school-shooting etc. I sometimes think you’re stuck in the middle age or wild western or something like that…

And feet. Athlete’s foot is a thing, wearing the same kind of shoes all the time doesn’t help with moisture.

Edit: just read the last three words… Well at least now there’s an explanation why it’s bad for feet.
