Its also funny how you chose to infer how I feel about your choice to eat meat, which I actually never addressed. That’s just how YOU feel about what I said. What’s funny is that you are the one appealing to emotion, with your strawman argument about religion. In reality, this article makes conclusions based on a body of peer reviewed science. You claim you don’t like their slant and expect everybody to come along with you, when frankly nobody asked your opinion and in reality that is closer to what religions do in demanding atheists disprove god. This article actually demonstrates proof of facts with cited science. You claim those studies must all be wrong because they don’t prove your argument without so much as offering an alternative demonstrated by anything we can verify. So you’re essentially appealing to the idea of meat eating as an infallible diety for which you will accept no proof that contradicts its divinity. Again, its 100% emotion. Its just hilarious at this point. I’m having fun. You?

Or: All my emotions are science, by Mr. Rational himself. Its actually hilarious how much time you are willing to spend showing that your emotional responses are actually scientific with more emotional rhetoric and how little time you are willing to put into showing a single way that a single point in the article is wrong using science that shows otherwise. “I don’t like the rhetorical slant of the article,” does literally nothing to disprove the science they useto support their conclusions. But you are clearly the one single person on this planet that doesn’t let their emotions guide what they believe. Ok.

Wow, another emotional comment from Mr. Rational himself. Did I hurt your feewings?

But the government does its best work when its shut down.

Sure, but that legislation is not on the table because the meat lobby wont even let people see what the inside of a slaughterhouse looks like and actually because of their lobbying power the exact opposite of what you are suggesting is true; instead of taxing meat, our tax dollars go to subsidize meat to keep it cheaper than plant based alternatives. We do actually need people to change individual habits, because the political machine has huge incentives not to change at all. Perhaps if the plant based lobby could become big enough to challenge the meat lobby we could make bigger changes, but that will require individuals making small changes in their diets first.

Again with appeals to emotion. What proof do you have that this is an agenda and not valid science apart from you don’t like the conclusions?

Again, claiming that anything you don’t like is illogical because emotions are at play is a highly emotionally argument. If you don’t think the science is rigorous, show scientific reasons why, because as In sure you are liable to say; the science doesn’t care how you feel about it, its either factual or it isn’t. You have no contradictory evidence, so you resort to, I feel this must be wrong because I don’t like it. That’s 100% emotional.

Funny how your comment is 100% emotional and I am forced to conclude you didn’t read the article, which cites peer reviewed studies. 😢

Bidens state department openly enables and encourages genocide and then they feel slighted by his sub 40% approval (blaming the people for your poll numbers is really not helping the situation for anybody that needs to hear this). I don’t know what is so hard for them to understand. Nobody is happy with the course of action. A great way to reverse these poll numbers would be to stop providing Israel with material support for genocide and to provide Palestinians material support for simply existing, but Biden has made his bed with a base of liberals that is a rapidly shrinking block and without them he has literally no support what-so-ever. The message that these tone def liberals will inevitably not take from all this is that the democratic party needs to change dramatically if they ever want to win a national election again. Honestly this is the message they needed to get in 2016 and failed to pick up on when they went all in on Hillary. They took winning in 2020 with Biden as a mandate from the masses, which they misread incredibly (He won because we all had enough of Trumps shit and promptly learned that hey, actually Bidens shit is worse somehow) and they are now running on the mandate nobody ever gave them. Trump is going to trounce any Democrat they could run in 2024, because the one thing the Democrats don’t get is that the demographics have changed. Liberal boomers are not a viable course to victory and Black and Latino voters are much more conservative then they want to believe and are finding the modern democratic party just as racist as the modern republican party, so why not vote their religious values. The math is not good for a democratic base which makes a plurality of about 37% of likely voters. If the Democrats want to fill in that gap they need to do things to pull in more young voters, who don’t want genocide in Gaza. Denying it is happening is the most tone def way to appeal to a generation of voters who actually know what gaslighting is.

Fuck Israel and anybody that supports them. No Apartheid state has any right to exist.

If the things you want to say are transphonic you’re an asshole. Everybody that isn’t just trying to be a dick doesn’t haven’t walk on eggshells when they talk. But if what you are trying to say transphonic shit I don’t feel bad that you have to walk on eggshells, nobody has to listen to bigoted shit, just because you want to say it and I support anything anybody wants to do to make that stop. 🤷

Well unfortunately he used his final special to spew transphonic trash. Basically any time he wandered his way into politics it was never good, but he had some amazing jokes when he didn’t.

I think modern privacy is more about creating noise than anything else. Anything you do that can in some way be tied to an internet connection in your name is traceable to you to some degree of certainty, so create lots of noise to filter through, so its hard to derive meaning from anything. Be simultaneously a Democrat, a Republican and something completely off the chart of their political understanding. The idea is to create misinformation about yourself that is indistinguishable from the real information. Use stock images for the pictures on any accounts under your real name and make deep fake videos using those faces. Run one of those scripts that generates a bunch of background traffic, use tor and a VPN for mundane tasks. Have social media accounts that express a wide variety of political beliefs and use chatgpt to fill in any details you don’t care to fill out. Never post pictures of yourself on the internet, but post stock photos/videos of other people frequently. Edit pictures of yourself to have other faces. Use algorithms intentionally designed to confound AI to edit photos. A lot of these tasks are being automated now so you don’t have to think too much about any of it. Also if you want privacy get a dumb mp3 player and a dumb camera that can’t connect to the internet at all. Then leave your phone in different locations, not just your house for extended periods of time. Switch usernames frequently and jump accounts on different services. Change your email address often. If you can, legally change your name, but go by many names in different circles. Move around a lot, change jobs often… etc, etc. Its hard to pull meaningful data out of a messy dataset, so make those that collect it all have to work really hard to make meaning of it all. Any combination of these sort of things in addition to good general oppsec will make whatever dossier somebody puts together seem fairly useless. Think about Lee Harvey Oswald for example. His dossier was all over the place, having him playing multiple political adversaries and making a bit of a scene while doing so. It’s almost impossible to determine his personal motivations because of all the misinformation he created around himself. Obviously its harder now to disappear into an alias identity, but give up on believing they can’t get anything on you, instead focus on giving them too much.

Could I give you a hand lifting that thing? It looks pretty heavy.

Maybe if I law my head in your lap I can stare up into your eyes?

They are beautiful.

Holy shit! Can’t believe they resurrected it.

Adrian Lamo was a poser.

I love star trek, so I love that instance, but Lemmy.world feels like its replicating the toxic discussion style from reddit. I’m not here because I loved reddit but hate what they did to it. I have hated reddit for years, I am here for a completely different thing from reddit. The slrpnk instance and the Lemmy.ml are the main instances I want to interact with. If there are other anarchist instances in the future, I’d like to interact with those, but ideally keep the toxic bullshit to a minimum.

No wonder OpenAI is shit. It should be:

window.raise(); radio.turn_on(volume=11);

We are doing a method on an object, so this should be OO code. 🤣
