⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Net zero hero’ myth unfairly shifts burden of solving climate crisis on to individuals, study finds⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
This is just blaming consumers again. Which doesn’t work, as we keep saying. There’s no way to disentangle yourself from globalism, so everything you buy is going to massively contribute to carbon emissions. The only solution to a systemic problem has to be a fix to the system, not victim blaming.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Uber Eats undercover: Delivering your food for $1.74 an hour⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Just one note, restaurant prices go up because uber eats charges a percentage based fee for each menu item. So, restaurants need to up the prices on the app just to make the same amount of money. Just some good ol’ under-the-table fuckery courtesy of Silicon Valley bastards.

The current position of federal and state courts is that the Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments require unanimous verdicts to convict a criminal defendant.

RAMOS v. LOUISIANA (2020) extended the 6th amendments right to a conviction by unanimous verdict through the 14th Amendment.

I generally think the rule on splitting infinitives was made up by English majors upset that English isn’t more compatible with Latin, but in this case I think the attempt to avoid the split made the sentence weaker and ruins the sentiment.

“Trying to not kill yourself” implies effort. It sounds like you’re actively avoiding something. “Trying not to kill yourself” sounds like you’re doing something different, to change it up.

Korea has a huge ad presence in general. Shows will be derailed for a 3 minute ad break as the characters all coo about some product without breaking character. As an American, they’re the only country that I think has capitalism worse than us. And that’s saying something.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can I not be an adorable junkie⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Lots of social media now deprioritizes “advertiser unfriendly” content. Especially TikTok. So, the response to that is to self-censor so that you still reach full engagement. It’s an arms race to keep swearing without the algorithms silencing you for doing so.

Chickens. Google what happens to male egg-laying chickens and you probably can figure out why it’s not vegan.

Usually things aren’t vegan due to the horrors of factory farming practices, even before any potential death occurs.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Honey⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Couple of reasons. One, honey is made not from local pollinators but from European honey bees. Two, European honey bees are really good at producing honey, which means they’re more efficient at removing pollen and nectar from flowers, denying food for native pollinators. Three, while only a few bees are directly harmed during honey harvesting, the need for their honey to be harvested means that they’ve been bred to make big, uniform honeycombs and a glut of excess honey. This makes them more susceptible to diseases, even before you factor in the monoculture nature of their existence.

Essentially, it’s not that eating honey is harmful to bees. It’s that the creation of honey at scale is cruel both to the bees producing the honey and the native pollinators who get pushed out by them. We (my household) do have honey on occasion, but only from local, small scale honey producers.

Surprise Medical Billing has mostly been nerfed after the No Surprises Act here in the US. After 2022, so long as you went to an INN provider, then you can’t be charged OON pricing for any OON services that you may have encountered during that visit.

Tangent, but you don’t need to include the question mark or anything after in most urls. Definitely not YouTube links. It’s just YouTube telling itself who shared the info (you) and they use that to track shit. But the link works just as well without it, and you’re not voluntary spying on yourself.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dayuuum⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Hi, I have autism and can tell you that it isn’t a “get out of social repercussions for free” card. The comment was still rude and still deserved a call-out, even if the commenter had autism.

Maybe don’t use a hypothetical person with a disability to defend your take on a situation.

And again, the word assault here doesn’t apply. They were rude, they got that energy back. It’s not hard to understand.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dayuuum⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
They asked a deeply personal, rude, and misogynistic question in a public space and you want to know if it was in bad faith? I think the clap back was very warranted.

Also, that’s not verbal assault, it’s just an insult. If she threatened harm or made them feel unsafe, then it would be.

No, it’s a dead end. Not immature. Not “a burgeoning technology’s with some kinks to iron out”. It’s the wrong proverbial tree to bark up. This is as good as this tech can ever get, which is why it’s being sold so hard right now. Because it’s turned into a grift to try and claw back the wasted R&D dollars.
