Look at the plot lines. The British seasons were much deeper and had actual twists. It wasn’t just the technology itself, but the specific ways in which it was used. The American ones are basically “technology bad/scary”. They lack the nuance that made the first seasons amazing.
Incorrect. There are various forms, two of the main ones are “it’s cruel to eat animals because they think/feel” and the other is “meat is unhealthy for the human body/an all plant diet is heathiest”. Yes, veganism typically lies more on the “cruelty free” part of the spectrum due to its refusal to consume eggs and other animal products as opposed to vegetarians, but there are versions that say those things are unhealthy too. Plus, vegans tend to take a larger view of “health” to include mental health(less stress from harming animals/“living in harmony with nature”) and the heath of the planet as a whole(“a healthy environment is a healthy place to exist”). Veganism is a lot more complex than just “I like animals”.
Crazy idea, but maybe you shouldn’t be taking health advice from random people on the Internet anyways. And your final line “well, guess it’s time for another migration” isn’t great either. You’re basically saying you just want an echo chamber to agree with you.
I don’t agree with carnivores or vegans, but I do find it interesting how vegans will complain about carnivores being biased and then post links to sites like veganlife.com and act like those aren’t biased too.
The simple fact is that you can’t do proper studies on diet. It relies far too much on self reporting since actual rigorous studies just can’t be done. You can’t control someone’s diet for 30 years to create experimental groups, control groups, etc. it’s just too much to ask. The vast majority of diet research is “best guesses” and “there seems to be a correlation here”.
Look at the old “Mediterranean diet” craze. The general consensus is that lifestyle(less sedentary life), better public healthcare, and a whole host of other factors related to people living in the Mediterranean are the causes of longer lifespans. But instead it gets boiled down to “eat like they do and you’ll be as healthy as them”.
Same with the whole “wine is good for you - look at the French!” Yeah, turns out alcohol isn’t really good for you at any level. It had a hell of a lot more to do with the lifestyle than specifically wine.
Or “people who stand barefoot in the grass for an hour a day are healthier” becoming “walking around barefoot in nature makes you healthier”. Nope. Being privileged enough that you CAN stand barefoot in the grass for an entire hour doing nothing else daily means you can afford many things that others cannot. It likely means that your baseline stress levels are way lower because you have the free time to be able to even do it. You think the person waking up at 5am to go to work until 5pm, to turn around and cook and clean, and then maybe get an hour to theirself before bed is able to just go stand in the grass for an hour? Again, it’s way more about socioeconomic status than “touching grass”.
The point is, health is an incredibly complex science and ANYONE claiming to have the magic solution is lying or just wrong. And that’s all I see here: “my magic solution is better than their magic solution. I don’t need to hear any conflicting ideas, just what I already believe.” Maybe fight them with facts and science of your own instead of “ewww carnivore!” Unless you want the rest of us to continue with “ewww, dumb vegan”.
Lmao all that shows is that particular person is mostly followed by older people(who filled out the survey). It says nothing about mastodon or the fediverse as a whole. If I make a survey and only ask my cats, I can’t say that everyone on Lemmy has a tail.
Fair enough. Then I guess it’s up to people like me to point out that the guys a giant douche and we should find actual positive role models and not lean on shit bags like Notch. Especially ones who try to take all the credit when their team did most the actual work you know and love. Lest we forget notch was so bad at programming that the creepers were originally supposed to be pigs.

“Fascist makes a good point” isn’t the flex you seem to think it is. If anything it makes you second guess the idea because “oh shit, that turd brain agrees with me? Maybe I misunderstood something…”. Next you’ll tell me Elon Musk agrees as well like that means diddly squat.
Doesn’t mean we should publicize every broken clock. There are plenty of working clocks we could highlight instead.
$10 says the “disproportional usage” is largely tied to them not “working” on the Sabbath and using disposable utensils as a loophole.
If you mean “better at thinking long term rather than short term to prevent you from staying at your current situation”, then yeah 🤷♂️
Energy star sticker on mine says $46 a year to run it. $3.84 a month. If you can’t plan for that then you have bigger issues than AC.
Look, I’ve been poor. What do you think happens when something major like your car breaks down? You figure it out. You don’t really have a choice so you do whatever you can to make it happen. You have to take that same determined energy and go “this is what’s important right now, how do I make this a priority?”. Is it easy, no. But it’s not gonna happen if you just throw your hands up and give up. And sure, if you want to get stuck in that boot paradox of constantly replacing lesser solutions and eventually spending more than the right one in the first place, be my guest.
I mean, sure, if you want to look like you live in a meth lab. Or you could spend a little bit and have something 100x better and actually functional and not be miserable. This is like that whole boot problem: you can only afford $20 boots so you buy them and they wear out in 6 months. Over 5 years you spend $200 when a nice pair that would’ve lasted as long or longer would cost you $100.
You can get an ac for like $60 new, like $20 on Facebook. Walmart has Artic Kings on sale every year for that much. But yeah, spend hours of your time Macgyvering a makeshift solution that maybe drops you 10°. You know what “10° degrees cooler” is where I am? 100°. You’d still be plenty miserable.
Yup. A $100-200 window unit(personally I prefer “portable” units with the exhaust hose to the window - keeps the main unit out of the sun that causes it to work harder) will be your best bet every single time. But sure, go ahead and check the price of tinting every window(about $20 per window) or getting blackout curtains(~$20 per panel in my experience) or any of the myriad of lesser solutions. Then, when you’ve spent as much or more with worse results and finally cave on getting a small unit, you’ll wonder why you ever did anything else before. Nevermind the fact that OP basically said “so aside from all the normal passive options, what else is left?” AC. That’s what’s left. Unless you want to advise them to replace all the insulation/windows/seals in their house.
“War is terrible”
Wow, such a great take. You should be in charge. Any more deep insights?
This or “support group”. Community implies those already around you. Something like AA would fit the bill for something that is similar to religion or a cult but positive and affirmative.
Yeah, I don’t need to make friends to find stl files. A database with a lookup function will do fine.
Yes, because everything needs to be a social web. Fuck off with that nonsense. Sometimes a database just needs to be a database. The last thing we need is more echo chambers in every damn hobby.
You realize a bunch of instances have blocked/defederated Lemmy.world, right? Exactly the kind of fragmentation I’d like to avoid. Literally other people chose who I can and can’t talk to already.
This is a hard pass.
Exactly this. I don’t want to have to dig through 100 communities all spread out to find things. Not everyone needs “my own” whatever. You can be centralized and public. Federation is just another buzzword like blockchain.
Bullshit. Most people are a paycheck from collapse and you’re over here with maids, single income household, and enough disposable income to buy your kids APARTMENTS. Let me guess, after uni they will rent out said apartments and use that to fund their houses while being landlords?
You are so beyond out of touch with the common person.
