  They are less powerful and easier to tax. It’s all about power, The rich by themselves are less powerful than the masses when the masses are together. Which is why they’re taxed at all. There’s something more powerful

  The rivers bring salt to the lakes and ocean that they erode when passing. Those get saltier over time. Evaporation filters that out and feeds the fresh water to everything again, but the salt gets deposited in the more permanent structures.

  People who enjoy eating enjoy tasting or enjoy the feeling of things going down their throat. Can be psychological too and not attached to the physical stimulus.

  Do you guys not like sugar or the sting of spice? The whole ritual around eating, making food or heading somewhere to eat influences how good food makes you feel.

  Just want to add that the Portuguese document there is a scientific paper, not legislation. Not sure on how proposals might have been changed the law in the 4 years after it but it’s become more pertinent because the increase of tourism was accompanied by these scams (my source for this is word of mouth, take it with a grain of salt)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨(Religious) What would i be labeled?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you do not believe there is at least one god, don’t you automatically believe there is at most zero gods? Isn’t that how logic works? If you don’t know you say you don’t know, not you dont believe. When you say you do not believe you think have proof it isn’t…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨(Religious) What would i be labeled?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re capitalising God to mean some abraamic god or just whichever currently proposed god?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why limit immigration?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, but later that higher gdp total can be used to better serve the people.

  Hahaha, or it just gets pocketed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where do you even meet people anymore?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t you have masks you use to meet people? Slowly warm in and try to find out what they’re like?

  Before remote work, that was one of the adult avenues of meeting new groups of people. Friends of friends are cool when you get involved in stuff they do and you don’t. Dare say, met cool people on the more questions focused dating sites where we didn’t have romantic interest but the conversation was cool.

  Sometimes rekindling relations also gets you to meet the people they hang around nowadays…

  But you can see obese people being obese and they are small so that makes them an easier target of scapegoating than the big company that wastes food out of sight. Plus they making excess food compared to what they can sell locally doesn’t mean it’s suddenly magically cheap to get that food to the places it’s needed. Sure, China can finance it’s global distribution if cheap good, but that’d be communism and we don’t want to resort to that to help people. Better just leave that to private charity. So they can individually be less effective even considering the best intentions (it’s never the best intentions).

  We got dead cow, toast meat, nose, of the blacks, beautiful old lady, triangle, burnt car and drowned kids.

  Pentium III, win7?! Do those motherboards even accept enough memory for what post vista OS slurps?

  Just needs to be more orange then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is going to happen when AI becomes extremely advanced?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  He’s saying there’s no proof it is. Like there’s no proof of God. Doesn’t mean it isn’t magically possible but in our reality there isn’t a defined way. If there was we’d be there.

  I came here to write about this one… It gets chaotic once you’re a 4 man team that doesn’t know how to play the game :)

  Oh no, avorion is getting down votes!

  Well of Souls was a little primordial mmorpg I got in a 100 games CD a while back. I used to have tons of fun making a custom character from sprites and seeing how far I could get. When I played it never felt mmo ish as it was already pretty empty.

  From the depths for me is a vehicle building game that’s targeted to whoever likes tuning little systems. Haven’t seen anyone know of it besides in the community itself. It’s a bit like toying around with Lego technic. There’s also quite a few more obscure versions of it, but I put this one out because I like it best.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are vegan and gluten free items more expensive?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Beans and rice are pretty cheap by the bag. It’s all about marketing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are vegan and gluten free items more expensive?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Vegan =/= health, salted fries, palm oil and ketchup is all vegan and I doubt you think of it as healthy.

  But anyways, only reason healthy food would be cheaper than non healthy one is if there’s taxes on the non healthy stuff. Non healthy stuff is sold because it’s cheaper or tastier. If they can add the healthy label to sell more they will.

  Have a friend that did a masters in psychology which paper was about Biological food. Anything you see with that label gets a price hike. Rarely the on the actual products tested there were feasible differences because biological isn’t a well defined concept.

  Father of a friend plants biological tomatoes for himself. For his peers, you just need to not add chemicals and treat that plant biologically. He however only accepted produce as biological if the seeds came from a platelet treated as such, so his biological stuff is second generation onwards.

  Since the concept isn’t clearly defined, it’s bs and companies use whatever they can to make a buck.
