what peer reviewed source can you provide that says preservatives are harmful?
- Comment on YSK What are you eating 1 week ago:
if someone can only afford to survive on instant soup then they have bigger health problems to worry about such as poverty and risk of homelessness. aka social determinants of health. framing it as a diet issue when your diet is shaped by what your class afford you to buy is asinine IMHO
- Comment on YSK What are you eating 1 week ago:
no, I’m just trying to demonstrate how the popsci view of processed foods as bad is unscientific. we’re not cows, we need processed foods to survive and we evolved as a species to live as such
- Comment on YSK What are you eating 1 week ago:
most food you cook at home is gonna be processed through heat, chopping, washing and rinsing anyways. you can’t retain a healthy diet if you eliminate processed foods, mostly because a lot of unprocessed ingredients are unsafe to consumea

thx for the diabeetus
fun fact, that is a eugenicist health scare campaign started by settlers to demonize indigenous peoples whose traditional diets are rich in corn.
famine and genocide are known causes of chronic illness. surviving colonialism is inherently disabling and heightened diabetes rates are a side-effect of that. it makes no scientific sense to me to completely ignore the social determinants of health and blame the diets of entire ethnic groups for their chronic illness rates.
- Comment on thx for the diabeetus 2 weeks ago:
that’s like blaming potatoes for deaths caused by green potatoes.
corn doesn’t cause anemia or malnutrition, it’s partly because it’s not processed properly through nixtmalization and partly because of poverty caused by colonialism
- Comment on thx for the diabeetus 2 weeks ago:
indigeneity and nationality are two different concepts that have nothing to do with each other.
this can range from indigenous Oaxacans who are US citizens to Mexican citizens who are settlers who murder indigenous people in Mexico to steal their land.

if open source were actually socialist then capitalists would be banned from using GPL software

capitalist brainworms
- Comment on Means to deceive 3 weeks ago:
correct, if the means of production were owned by the oppressed then we wouldn’t need to buy anything when just taking it is free
- Comment on Means to deceive 3 weeks ago:
I’m heartened by your reply.
there’s a point to be made on the other hand that the wheel made industrialization possible and we all know how that worked out for the people who refused laboring for wages. not all cultures even needed wheels because their local geographies didn’t necessitate using wheeled transport
- Comment on Means to deceive 3 weeks ago:
no, where did I say that? I’m disabled and I can’t work, so I rely on begging people to keep me alive
- Comment on Means to deceive 3 weeks ago:
why would giving up my job be a bad thing? i don’t dream of labor. I’m also against people being fired through but let’s not act like having job is natural, that’s one of the most pervasive myths of capitalism

it is a binary though, otherwise white people wouldn’t only be talking about Pretti and Good. the white media ensures it stays so with our complicity
- Comment on We dont talk about what happened to Alex Pretti enough. 5 weeks ago:
if anything people focus on him and Good too much while saying nary a peep for the Black victims like Keith Porter Jr. who end up erased

- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
that’s horrible for queer or disabled kids who need to connect to online communities of peers who are going through the same struggles they face.
most kids rely on their parents to go places and if they’re in a conservative area, online spaces are their only reprieve from their alienating local community. think only Black kid in a sundown town, only trans girl in a red town, only wheelchair user in a rural community
- Comment on YSK that a general strike is one of the most effective ways to push for change. There is a general strike in the works across the US for this Friday. 1 month ago:
if you’re not in a Union join one, ask around your national unions what it would take to organize a solidarity strike. international strikes are pretty common around the globe

or you could have some common decency and join the strike in solidarity instead of being a whiner

- Comment on Grid-Scale Bubble Batteries Will Soon Be Everywhere 2 months ago:
sure they do, why do you think they’re buying lithium mines? they love mining resources because it encourages the “infinite growth” feedback loop to keep going
- Comment on Grid-Scale Bubble Batteries Will Soon Be Everywhere 2 months ago:
that is correct and that would unfortunately be a problem if we expect everyone to own a boiler instead of building neighborhood thermal battery/central heating systems. a lot of post-soviet countries had perfectly functioning stations for doing exactly that, but they were torn down during neoliberal reforms instead of converting them to modern standards
