  And it’s not just “overcrowded jails full of pretrial prisoners, the barefoot children carrying buckets for water in Appalachia” but the grad students in LA living out of their cars, or grandpa sleeping on a bus stop, or people in the Rockies surviving off roadkill and forage.

  Seattle tent cities/tiny homes make some Favelas look real swanky.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can we have a healthy life only with fruits or fruits and plants combined alone, and if not why?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s multiple ways, but as an example in a similar way as nutritional yeast is made by growing a microorganism such as Saccharomyces Cerevisiae and then extracting the products. B12 is made by growing an organism like Propionibacterium Freudenreichii and extracting and seperating those products.

  You then mix the B12 from the Freudenreichii with the inactivated[dead] Cerevisiae.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can we have a healthy life only with fruits or fruits and plants combined alone, and if not why?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Most people here are, correctly, pointing out that going fully vegan easily gets all your required nutrients except for B12. However, this is a mostly solved problem because while “naturally” humans would get it through consumption of animal products it’s synthesized via bacteria and it’s currently produced at scale via genetically modified strains, such as Propionibacterium Freudenreichii, and used to fortify things like plant based milks and nutritional yeast.

  It is something to be aware of, but it’s also not the problem many on this thread are trying to paint it as.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chicago fighting ICE⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This is one of those “nail that sticks up” issues and setting expectations for others and what is expected of you in those situations.

  To be perfectly honest I’m pushing this point for entirely selfish reasons because I do not possess the self-control to remain that passive in those situations and have the scars to show for it. It might be a character flaw on my part, but I also understand that it is safer for everyone when it’s a mob that stands up vs. just one or two individuals.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chicago fighting ICE⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Simultaneously very heartening and incredibly frustrating to watch. The victim had to fight so fucking hard while everybody else was being incredibly passive and meek.

  Shout-out to the girl in the black dress for being the bravest of all of them and showing how to be a proper menace.

  It depends on how far back you go. Maybe an actual historian could chime in on dates, but by at least the 18th century one of the distinguishing hallmarks between “real rich” and “fake rich” was whether sheep, and the like, were what maintained your lawn or if you had dedicated human labor to scything and weeding.

  No analogy will get through to them because you don’t understand the problem.

  It’s not about a lack of understanding on how vaccines work or the basic physics/biology/etc. behind it. It’s about a not unfounded mistrust of media and medicine.

  To use a medical analogy; you’re providing a vaccine after they’ve gone into sepsis and are surprised that it’s not curative.

  Or revive it, I don’t think I’ve seen a James Bond movie since one of the very first ones but I would 100% watch a Goldberg Bond movie because I don’t see how they could play it other than leaning hard into how inherently silly it all is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Interesting and probably true⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  To cRazi_man’s point there is some work that does needs to be done in order to ensure everyone has food, water, shelter, healthcare, free of poison, etc.

  However the vast majority of human labor does not go towards those goals and is instead dedicated to who can get the highest score in ‘slave games’ while that necessary work is grossly undermanned.

  It’s not “unlimited” but holy shit is there a lot of damage from the last ~200 years that needs to be undone. Learning and teaching people to rest is a very important one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gallium⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If it was just a fucking hug or just this photo then I’d 100% agree with you, but watch the video that has been linked in this thread, they’re — not subtle. It’s such a grossly over the top “hand in the cookie jar” type moment.

  Also you make a good point about the “the guy’s main being “their life destroyed”” being an absolute shit worldview. I get sometimes just needing to vent, but you do understand the consequences and harms of this being your method of release right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gallium⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “Cheating” isn’t just violating “porking exclusivity rights”, it’s breaking whatever the commitments and promises you have made to others within that relationship.

  I agree completely that the institutions of marriage and default of hard monogamy are a “Big capital P PROBLEM”, but only because it prevents thinking and talking about what those commitments should be between the individuals within those relationships. Which inevitably ends up causing harm because it allows for the incredibly immature stance of “all relationships should be {like this}” without considering the wants and needs of those involved.

  The problem with the couple above is that they are clearly, and publicly, being caught in the act of breaking the terms of some such personal agreement, however unspoken, and that makes one or both of them a lying, two face, cowardly, immature, piece of shit regardless of any overarching discussion about monogamy, but what else should you expect from a CEO?

  The key takeaway is that your message will not land with anyone and will be counterproductive because you are conflating being a dishonest douchenozzle with general non-monogamy and people will resent you and your underlying message, however valid, because of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come nobody does anything about North Korea?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t underplay a regime and make them seem more reasonable than they are by whitewashing history

  That’s a better definition!

  But also don’t exaggerate a “regime”^1^ to make them seem more extreme than they are by whitewashing, decontextualizing, fabricating, using loaded language[1], etc.

  Propoganda often works explicitly via selectively presenting facts to encourage a particular synthesis or perception. What your are calling “details” and “minutia” are attempts to try and push back against some of that selectivity bias.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come nobody does anything about North Korea?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Am I supposed to give a monolithic answer now for speaking broadly?

  Yes, because you were perfectly happy/capable of giving one before:

  We can push back against misinformation without accidentally bootlicking.

  Which while it’s good in theory it appears the phrase “accidentally bootlicking” allows for others, including a certain ‘argumentative gremlin’, to perceive that as meaning “so long as it doesn’t contradict my existing worldview”.

  Having a stronger/more rigorous definition would help you with communicating your ideas, allow you to self-check for dissonances and help me understand if there’s anything of actual substance here.

  So what’s your definition?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come nobody does anything about North Korea?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably shouldn’t have mentioned my thoughts on that thread, I had hoped to provide some perspective on where I was coming from but probably just confused things for everyone. That’s my bad, back to the relevant point:

  How do you think one should make that distinction?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come nobody does anything about North Korea?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We can push back against misinformation without accidentally bootlicking.

  It depends entirely on how you define “accidentally bootlicking” because I think OBJECTION!@lemmy.ml has done an excellent job of calling out how you have been making that distinction.

  Taking a step back and decontextualizing how do you think one should make that distinction?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come nobody does anything about North Korea?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come nobody does anything about North Korea?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  When you recognize the amount of bullshit propoganda that is consumed daily and realize how false it all is it’s very easy to switch to “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” mode.

  Additionally it’s harder to break others (and oneself) out of the propoganda soup without an extremely sharp distinction between the lies being spoonfed and the material reality. The material reality often ends up getting distorted as a result and the cycle continues.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon describes experience⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Have you?!?! IEEE 754 defines NaN, but also both a positive and negative zero (+0, -0) in addition to infinities such that x/+0 = ∞, x/-0 = -∞ and the single edge case ±0/±0 = NaN

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon describes experience⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The answer would still not be 0 as 0 is clearly still well defined within that system. NaN, undefined, etc. would be acceptable answers though. Otherwise you define:

  for x > y, y - x = 0

  Which defines that x = y

  Resulting in the conditional x > y no longer being true

  Also x/0 isn’t NaN. It’s just poorly defined and so in computing will often return “NaN” because what the answer is depends on the numbering system used and accidentally switching/conflating numbering systems is a very easy way to create a mathmatical fallacy like the one above.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Considering the old model is made with shrink-wrapping this is viable option⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m blanking on the exact phrase, but it’s something like “never believe a number with unreported error”.

  To get further into the weeds there is a significant difference in approach between theoretical and experimental science. In experimental science it’s not only enough to communicate what you “know” but to communicate the underlying biased, tolerances and precisions of the thing being measured and modeling approach being used.

  these represent the threshold of the known.

  I would argue that those representations are inherently bad science because they do not communicate the margin of error. Grue, I believe you are spot on with a concept in how you would make those drawings more scientifically accurate, but ultimately they are artistic renderings of scientific understandings, but not scientific themselves.

  While I don’t disagree with WoodScientist that modern scientific institutions are inherently conservative, the process of science is not, nor should it be. Apologizing for the inherent conservatism in science is unscientific, harms belief in vetted resulted, conflates institutions for processes and projects a people problem onto the inanimate.

  Herring Vs. United States set the de facto legal basis that allows for this sort of evidence laundering.
