  • Thefuck are you on about. I take just as much issue with chinas genocide, I just take less issue with my own (and other) governments’ handling of said genocide. For one Israel is getting active support while china has frosty trade relations, but also the balance of power would allow both the EU and US to pressure Israel into stopping, which they can’t just do with china because china is a global superpower. I still kinda think they should but we all know citizens will cry about any QoL loss they might experience as a result, and that is reasonably something governments have to consider.




  • Yea i can absolutely see that. Though it’s also understandable to doubt it because personally it just doesn’t apply - which I think is largely because I don’t changr my portion sizes, and I’m probably not the only one. I make food and eat all of it, and I usually eat 2 meals a day + sometimes breakfast. I’ve found that delaying food intake for as long as possible leads to me eating less overall and losing weight.

    In my case, eating breakfast or not is more of a result of how much I ate the previous day.



  • While what you said isn’t wrong, it’s not really the main issue. The energy a human body gets from food can be vastly different than what is produced by burning it, and there are further variations per person.

    The calorie count on food to my knowledge is based on actual measurements with humans… from one guy doing experiments in the 1800s. And while it’s probably reasonably accurate on average, it’s not really possible to know how much energy a specific person will get from a food from a generalized calorie label. So even if the food itself had no variance, it would be impossible to label the energy intake you will get from it accurately.



  • When it’s only one parent as in the case that allegedly inspired this law, that becomes less of an issue and i’d see it entirely as a positive. When it’s both parents… as fucked as this sounds, it’d probably have to depend on the details whether taking the child to a foster home would help, but usually probably not. They’re already traumatized at that point and taking them away from both parents would likely just traumatize them further.

    Note: am not a psychologist this is mostly conjecture from what ive picked up



    1. Spewing their hate on the street is different from just being a nazi
    2. yes obviously it’ll stop them from doing that but it won’t stop them from harboring their ideology. A large reason ppl end up in extremist circles is feeling like they don’t fit into society, what’s gonna happen when you continue isolating them?

    You’re also making an awful lot of assumptions about me, given that i went to demos against a far right party here before lmao

    Btw, how the fuck would i know if ppl got violent against hateful shitheads in some other country and especially what the shitheads’ reaction was (even if it’s fairly obvious)

    Yep, I think i even got diagnosed with something similar (tho all i have is a memory of my mom mentioning “fine motor skill development disorder” once, which my brain couldve just made up), I do have autism and probably adhd which I’m still trying to get diagnosed. I looked into dyspraxia a while ago and a lot of it fit pretty well, I still tie my shoe laces in a very scuffed way for example and it took me until I was 12 or so to learn it. And there’s nothing I hate more than fiddly stuff with my hands, so I’ve pretty much assumed I have some form of dyspraxia ever since. Though I had little issues learning to type and can do that pretty fast, and never had any general learning disability, which made me a bit doubtful. If it has high comorbidity with autism/adhd I probably do have it after all.

    In any case I am glad I don’t have to handwrite a lot anymore lol

    I never recovered, and I don’t really know how to write print. So i either write cursive at the speed of around one letter per second, produce unreadable chicken scratching, or write very ugly all caps print because that’s simple enough and actually readable and faster than trying to produce legible cursive.

    I also don’t think I handwrite more than 100 words a year though so it’s ok

    This doesn’t seem to be even close to a venn diagram to me. Most obviously, having the same element (“HO”) 3 times in different places is incompatible with venn diagrams as it violates fundamental assumptions of set theory. If I’m not mistaken, in this case an euler diagram would also look the same as a venn diagram (if we change the labels to correctly be “yo ho”, “yo ho ho” and “ho ho ho” rather than the individual words arranged for comedic effect)

    It’s still an amusing image though and I really don’t see why it matters.



  • Given human nature I find it hard to blame rich people for using their money on themselves. We need laws to change (aka much, much higher taxes)

    Someone’s perspective on what’s an appropriate standard of living changes with what they’re used to. That’s just how the human brain works. I constantly hear people that make the same or more than me, that live in the same country as me in an area with similar cost of living, complain about how little money they have, while I feel like I have all I really need and more. They just consider different things as “necessary”.

    Is it incredibly disconnected to consider owning even one yacht as anything close to necessary? Absolutely. But anything you want, your brain will take it for granted once you get it and make you want even more.
