Those people aren’t saying desk jobs are worse or even “just as bad” to make physical laborers feel better; it’s a word of warning to those with so-called “safe” jobs to be cautious of issues many people aren’t aware of.

Hitler executed about 8 million people, about 6 million of whom were jews.
Stalin starved about 20 million people.
Mao oversaw the Great Famine, following his order to kill all the sparrows in China, which lead to the starvation of 60 - 80 million people, depending on who’s counting.

How is that different from just adding more powdered milk to milk?

To censor the racism of the past is to deny that it happened and to revise history. Life can be ugly. If we don’t preserve the ugliness, it creates the illusion that we haven’t grown as a society. It’s important to remember the way we were so we can know how far we’ve come.

Oh yay, I get to address my two favorite common misconceptions about the colonial US at once.
There is an element of truth in the assertion that Ben Franklin owned slaves, but it’s mostly untrue. He participated in what he was taught to do from an early age, but seeing the effects of slavery first hand changed his mind. He spent the rest of his life as one of that era’s most outspoken critics against slavery, even purchasing a printing press to print anti-slavery brochures and pamphlets.

George Washington’s wooden teeth are a myth. Wood teeth certainly existed, but were extremely uncommon and only used by people who had nothing else. Most commonly, dentures of that era were made from ivory, animal teeth, or cadaver teeth.
- Comment on What on Earth Is Happening to 'Diablo II'? 4 days ago:
A lackluster, season-oriented Diablo 3, followed by a sequel-in-name-only Diablo 4 is what’s happening.
The people want a proper sequel to Diablo 2. Blizzard won’t give it to them, so the people are developing their own sequels.

- Comment on Would the problems of bombardment be resolved by building underground? 5 days ago:
It might help. But, in addition to being generally unpleasant, it’s also quite challenging to build things underground and also very dangerous to live underground. What if a bombardment or natural disaster caused the ceiling to collapse? Or blocked one of the many vents that would be required for air circulation?

Most likely either some other dog has claimed that area so they’re trying not to leave a smell behind (common in shelter pets), or they’re not getting some vital nutrient (usually fiber).
Find some pumpkin puree for dogs. Walmart sells it in an orange can with a dog on the label. Give that to them at meal time. Don’t give them the people kind, like for pies, it has sweeteners and other stuff that will upset their stomach.
Leash them when they go out. If they try to eat their poop, correct the behavior and reinforce the correct behavior with a treat. Discipline in response to unwanted behavior can be effective, but you should think carefully about the relationship you’re forming with your dog before deciding on that.
If all else fails, take them out on a leash and immediately pick up their waste so they can’t eat it until you can get them to a vet and have their diet evaluated. It’s not normal dog behavior and it can and should be corrected.
- Comment on Why DDG is the superior serch engine 1 week ago:
Yeah, that’s great and all, but consider the following:
If I’m standing in the middle of a field and I need to measure sixty-ish feet for a fence, and I don’t have a meter stick, I can get pretty close by walking heel-to-toe for sixty paces. There’s no equivalent method for a meter and no metric unit that has a human body equivalent, while the most imperial length units all have human body equivalents.
Also, even if I do have a meter stick, how tf am I supposed to measure and mark 0.288 of one? Sixty feet is easier to work with.
There’s also the matter of a foot being equally divisible into 2, 3, 4, or 6 equal lengths, all of which also have human body equivalents. If you know them all, and measurements relative to other objects aren’t required, you can build things that measure up relative to themselves by just using fingers, hands, feet, marks, a square, and a straight edge, no ruler or tape required. I have projects close to ten years old built that way that are still standing strong.

- Comment on A French small business owner has his video game store looted 1 week ago:
maybe address the issues that caused the original problem
I don’t want to see another gun ban because I know they don’t work. I’d rather see the root causes of violence addressed. If you address poverty, unemployment, homelessness, and mental illness with robust social programs and treat them as the systemic public health issues that they are, bans are unnecessary because crime will be obsolete.
Banning guns with a law, enforced by police to whom the law does not apply, won’t stop gun violence; it will further entrench the police state.
If simply having guns lead to gun violence, then other countries with higher rates of gun ownership than the US would have the same problems with gun violence.

Metric is great for scientists in a lab with equipment to measure things.
Imperial was created during a time when peasants in the middle of nowhere needed to measure something “close enough” to trade with others, even without tools or measuring equipment, which was only owned by scribes and other members of the nobility.
This is why all imperial length measurements relate to parts of the body and why all volume and weight measurements relate to containers that were commonly used to store the thing you’re measuring (a bushel of grain, for example).
The US agreed to switch to the metric system centuries ago, but the ship carrying the official units sank on the way over.
