One thing the right is good at doing is falling in line, no matter that the agenda being pushed.

Of course he speaks American, it says Spanish right there.

You can support lemm.ee, then, instead?

I’m a (small) monthly supporter already! I wish lemmy had a way to give people a little checkbox in their profile for supporters.

It’s crazy how there are people know he has mental illness and is old, still vote for him anyway, and then are suprised afterward.

Okay, so maybe she’s on to something. It’s not actually that boring, after all.
Animal husbandry, being one of the oldest and most fundamental practices within the broader field of agriculture, refers to the art and science of breeding, rearing, and caring for livestock animals in a manner that optimizes both their health and productivity while meeting human needs for resources such as meat, milk, fiber, leather, labor, and companionship, and this discipline, which has evolved slowly and steadily over the course of several millennia since the Neolithic Revolution, involves an impressively large and often tedious array of tasks that must be performed on a daily, weekly, monthly, seasonal, and annual basis with a degree of consistency and attention to minute detail that many might find repetitive and unremarkable, such as the precise formulation of animal diets based on detailed nutritional analyses to ensure balanced intake of macronutrients like proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, as well as essential micronutrients like vitamins and minerals, all of which must be tailored to the specific physiological needs of the animal based on factors such as age, sex, weight, reproductive status, lactation stage, and intended market use, combined with strict management of water supply quality and quantity to avoid issues related to dehydration or waterborne diseases, in addition to the regular cleaning and maintenance of animal housing facilities to manage waste buildup, control ammonia levels, prevent disease outbreaks, and provide adequate bedding and ventilation, which are critical yet thankless tasks that contribute directly to the long-term sustainability of operations, and further complicated by the constant need to monitor animal health through visual inspection, behavioral observation, and, increasingly, the collection of biometric data via digital technologies, a development that, while technologically advanced, has in no way reduced the fundamentally monotonous nature of physically walking among herds and flocks to assess for subtle signs of illness, injury, or distress, all of which must be recorded meticulously in farm management software or paper logs to satisfy not only internal quality assurance but also external audits by regulatory bodies concerned with animal welfare standards, environmental impact, and food safety, all while dealing with the additional mental load of planning breeding programs, selecting sires and dams based on genetic merit determined through increasingly complex indices that weigh traits such as feed efficiency, disease resistance, growth rates, carcass quality, and reproductive performance, and implementing mating decisions either naturally or via artificial insemination, which itself demands storage, handling, and application of semen under sterile and highly specific conditions, not to mention the planning for parturition seasons, where supervision of calving, lambing, kidding, or farrowing must occur frequently throughout day and night, often in less-than-ideal weather conditions, requiring a level of patience and endurance that is rarely recognized outside agricultural circles, and following successful births, careful colostrum management, early weaning strategies, and vaccination schedules must be rigorously followed to ensure maximal early-life survival rates and long-term productivity, all while navigating fluctuating market conditions, adjusting herd or flock size accordingly, ensuring compliance with evolving local, national, and international regulations regarding traceability, animal movement, antibiotic stewardship, and waste management, and participating in industry programs aimed at verifying sustainable practices, such as carbon footprint reduction initiatives, ethical certification schemes, and environmental stewardship programs, which, although important for the long-term viability of the sector and planet alike, add another layer of administrative burden and paperwork to an already tedious daily workload that requires an unwavering dedication to routines that, despite small innovations here and there, have remained fundamentally unchanged in their essence for thousands of years, making animal husbandry a life pursuit not for those seeking constant excitement, but rather for individuals uniquely suited to find satisfaction in the slow, steady rhythms of feeding, cleaning, observing, recording, breeding, birthing, treating, marketing, and planning, over and over, season after season, year after year, in a cycle so long and repetitive that it almost imperceptibly becomes the very fabric of a practitioner’s life.

Plot twist: She’s going to talk about animal husbandry at length.

You could use none and just dump it into the larger trash bag in the kitchen when it fills up. Every so often, wash it out in the bathtub.

Pole which disappears part way down the wall. The person isn’t on the bed but behind it. The shadows are all messed up too.

Is this the right article? It said they just did a test.
- Comment on Crypto is now as stable as the US economy! 5 weeks ago:
The “tokenization” you hear credit card companies using like Mastercard is cryptography, but it isn’t cryptocurrency or blockchain. When people say “crypto” isn’t being used, they mean blockchain in this case.
Tokenization is when the number on your payment card is replaced with a ”stand-in” number that is saved in your phone or watch or the merchant’s site where you register your card. Tokenization protects your account by using that token instead of your real card number, which the merchant never sees or stores.

- Comment on How did Mahmoud Khalil managed to challenge his (pending) deportation at all, while others were deported without due process? What makes Mahmoud Khalil's case different? 5 weeks ago:
I think he had a green card so he was a legal permanent resident. The other people had visas.

Good point. Why would an atheist hate something which doesn’t exist. The whole meme is bad.

No surprise there. We just went through how blockchain is going to drastically help our lives in some unspecified future.

The bottom-left one for Feminists doesn’t fit. The others are things that were created by their own group, for example, the KKK was created by Christians. That Feminist meme, on the other hand, wasn’t created by feminists but by someone else to mock them.
- Comment on What features are missing from piefed, or, why aren't we reccommending piefed instead of lemmy? 1 month ago:
I second this. Lemmy is written in Rust where as piefed is written in Python. When it comes to running a high-performance webserver, Lemmy has the advantage.

Wouldn’t for it to be conspiratorial mean there has to be a secret organization behind the scenes? I thought Reddit and X admit to doing this.

That’s the dumbest thing to get banned for.
- Comment on If you're still on Reddit... 1 month ago:
It’s just a shitpost. It’s poking fun of people being on reddit, with a screenshot from reddit. There’s no deeper commentary than that.
