Theres also a ton of people, medical professionals included, that treat type two diabetes as a permanent problem with no possibility of reversing it. This leads to people focusing on the medication they need to take instead of the food they eat.

I literally just got an email from ascension. Its hard to say if its just regular marketing stuff but it seems to imply the new server is out and ready to be played on. I plan to check it out as well.

Interesting, I had never heard of an impingement oven!

Air fryers are just convection ovens. Its baking it.

The fact you have so many down votes is astounding to me. People really dont like to face that they may be wrong or biased about something. Easier to tap the down vote and scroll on.
- Comment on Charities of Employees from "non-profit" I was going to donate too 1 week ago:
Essentially you have it right, although I wouldnt say charities should dissolve as a rule. If there aren’t enough people to do the work with the right goal in mind though I dont think the answer is to pay more and get capitalists in the door.
I have a strong aversion to greed minded people in general though so I’m very biased here.

Is he murdering people over fraud? Thats pretty savage. Are you sure he’s not meant to look unhinged a bit?
- Comment on Charities of Employees from "non-profit" I was going to donate too 2 weeks ago:
Its not simply people doing what’s best for the selves, its greedy parents who have raised greedy children who grow up thinking their job title and bank account number represent who they are. They could choose any other values to pursue in life but actively choose greed each day.
The catalyst to change oneself comes from within, so I hold people responsible who refuse to learn or change.

Its not a few. America is full of scams and exploits at literally every turn. Its in advertisements, news stories, popular TV and movies.
The point I’m making is that people think at least charities will be the exception to that rule, but they aren’t. You’d be better off donating to a non-american organization IMO.
- Comment on Charities of Employees from "non-profit" I was going to donate too 2 weeks ago:
Competent people who don’t care about the cause shouldnt take the job at all. People earning 8 figures shouldnt expect to make the same at a charity. Greed and altruism are values or qualities a person can possess and I dont think they can exist in the same person.
The United Health CEO thought he was altruistic, his family does as well. Its pretty clear the vast majority of people see greed there, not altruism.
Greedy people simply shouldnt be in charge of helping people.
- Comment on Charities of Employees from "non-profit" I was going to donate too 2 weeks ago:
You are assuming the highest paid ceos are the best choice for a charity as well. Running something with a goal of making as much money as possible is not the same as running something with a goal of helping with something as much as possible.
Its only the same if you think money accomplishes both, which is a valid take on things, I just dont agree with that myself.
- Comment on Charities of Employees from "non-profit" I was going to donate too 2 weeks ago:
If the only reason a ceo wants to work for a charity is the huge paycheck, they have the wrong set of values to run a charity.
Being a CEO of a charity is not about prestige. This is why a lot of american charities come across as grifts in my opinion.
You should ask why a person would accept that much money to do that kind of job, they could ask for an appropriate amount but instead take what they can get.
- Comment on Charities of Employees from "non-profit" I was going to donate too 2 weeks ago:
Plenty of non-american charities dont over pay people. You would expect people who work in charity to not be greedy. Greed is when you take more than you should because you think you deserve it.
- Comment on Charities of Employees from "non-profit" I was going to donate too 2 weeks ago:
Cool, so americans will do anything for money. Even in charities. Is that what you want to hang your hat on? Its awful behavior and the OP is right to highlight the hypocrisy of a charity CEO making over 10 times the cost of living.
A person leading a charity shouldnt have such an ego that they think they deserve so much more than anyone else. How could they possibly understand the concept of charity?
- Comment on Charities of Employees from "non-profit" I was going to donate too 2 weeks ago:
They are saying they are all greedy.

Thats an insane scene to watch completely out of context. Is Jason statham the bad guy in that movie?
- Comment on You best start believing in a cyberpunk dystopia 2 weeks ago:
I meant what you are saying, I think I worded it poorly. Cheaper deals are done in relatively shady places where you could get caught by chance. Bigger deals are more secure using any number of methods.
There are just bad dealers too though, its like any other job.

Michigan does this as well.
- Comment on You best start believing in a cyberpunk dystopia 2 weeks ago:
Thats for like 100 or less. Or for really risky dealers.

Its less likely than people choosing not to eat meat.
I’m not sure what sort of great effect you expect a single person to have attempting to either steal all the worlds animals and hide them or to destroy oil infrastructure.
- Comment on ugh i wish 3 weeks ago:
You know thats absurd or else people would be doing it. Its not just a valve, and its not out in the open with no protections. My cousin used to guard the Alaskan pipeline. How do you suppose I go and affect that without getting shot?
- Comment on ugh i wish 3 weeks ago:
Its just as unrealistic that one person affects global pollution as much as it is unrealistic that one person go and personally stop the pollution at the source, isnt it?
It seems like you are arguing noone should do either direct or indirect action, since neither is feasible on an individual basis.
- Comment on ugh i wish 3 weeks ago:
I dont need specifics because the proof is already there that whatever is being done now isnt working. Just like you argue that efforts to reduce animal consumption are proven futile by the increase in animal consumption year over year.
- Comment on ugh i wish 3 weeks ago:
I found something similar to our vegan debate! Polution!
Its ever increasing year over year, but efforts to reduce pollution have reduced the rate of increase.
Would you argue that since pollution increases year over year that we should abandon our current efforts as its clear they aren’t working?
- Comment on ugh i wish 3 weeks ago:
Correct!

Would you say its great if it ends as is? I’d have to look it up but they were in the middle of it from what I recall.
I suppose that would leave the tv shows ending to stand as the official-ish ending though wouldnt it?

Lol I liked both versions!

That could be! Despite that, a big part of minimizing harm is consent!

The main thing for me is most people are lactose intolerant to some degree. It can be worth trying alternative milks just to see if you feel better with it.

Good news! As long as its given consentually then human milk is vegan!
