It’s a blood thinner. That itch comes because we are allergic to the blood thinner they inject so they can suck more easily.
Some people claim to not get bitten by mosquitoes ever. That’s false, they are simply not allergic to the blood thinner and nothing shows up after the mosquitoes leave, so they don’t think they were bitten.

I highly doubt that they are using the “use” meaning of exploitation. Pretty sure they mean the “abuse” meaning, where consent takes a big part. In any case, I’m not that invested in the topic so if you think otherwise let’s agree to disagree.

And humans are animals yet human breast milk is considered vegan. It’s about consent and exploitation tbh.

I don’t think so, artificial beehives are barely a protected box with compartments queen bees are put in, but there’s plenty wild bees around there too. The reason I quoted captivity in that comment is that those bees go out as far as several kilometres to gather and polinize the flora around them. They could very much find some tree to use as a beehive and keep going out as much.
The reason against the veganism of honey is that it’s technically not consensual, and that the smoke they are thrown to calm themselves so that the humans can take the combs is mistreatment. I mean, I guess? But that’s such a low bar that I don’t subscribe to that, you do you.
In any case I’m not expert, you should do your research to get the most accurate info.

The argument is that bees overproduce naturally and you barely disturb them to take the combs that are done before they rot (the combs not the honey, honey basically never rots), so you are not harming them in any meaningful way.
Bees found in nature still overproduce, so bees in “captivity” are just given free range in a field of flowers. Technically the queen bee and all the colony could fly away but they don’t because why would they.

Vegan cheese done with coconut oil is pretty decent, way better that the wet sponge texture that beyond has.

Wym photos of Epstein and Trump. There’s been photos and videos for decades, we know, it’s public knowledge. Please don’t tell me that you have this much interest in the thing but you haven’t realised of all that info… It’s been published in several outlets, photos on Reddit FrontPage, the daily show showing both photos and videos several times, here on Lemmy reaching FrontPage several times too…
You really have to love under a rock to think there’s no photographic evidence of them being friends.

Thanks for the extra info, I’m not from the US so I was going just from the information provided by the comment above.

If lots of states allow cops to require you to provide your name and you don’t, isn’t that refusal to comply with a lawful order, and thus a crime?
- Comment on Everybody talks about beliefs like they're this big important thing. 2 months ago:
You are lumping together sensory signals (feelings, sights, sounds) with the internal decision making of your brain (beliefs).
I think you are confused by the literal definition of belief, because as it is defined, a belief is anything you think is true, specially without literal proof. There’s tons of stuff we believe are true without certain proof: math, science, memory to a certain extent…
Let me explain, not everyone is a mathematician, not everyone is a scientist, especially an absolute expert in every field. What people usually do is they it trust in people that are experts and they believe that what those say is true because they have proven it to another collection of authorities, and we believe that what those authorities are trustworthy because X. There’s papers about it and I can looks them, but I and most people probably won’t because I decided to believe in their words. That core belief on science, on the fact that the science as we know it is correct (which is again dependant on the interpretation of the universe we currently hold being true which we don’t know…), is something people don’t offer recognise as a belief, but it is.
What you believe to be true will affect how you process what you see, what you hear, and how you ultimately act.
It’s important because it’s the deciding factor of almost every actions you consciously take.
Let me say that I’m not, in no way shape or form, saying belief in a religious tone. I’m using the literal definition of belief of the dictionary.

No he wouldn’t, his philosophical viewpoint is a belief in itself. So important to him that he revolved his life around it!
You are assuming that belief = religion, but that’s waaaay off. Belief is anything you don’t know of, and I would argue that there is extremely little we do know at any given point in time. Right now I believe that the window in my room is opened because I can’t see it, and even if I looked at it, I’m believing that my eyes aren’t defying my reasoning.
Belief is what defines us as individuals, every kind of assumptions we do, anything we try to remember, any intuition we have that’s based on experience aka memory, it’s all small figments of our belief system.

I really hope they do, or either allow Devs to publish games only on the good console. Having to release for the S if you want to release Xbox at all is a nightmare that needs to stop, it’s gonna get harder as time goes on.

Inflation makes goods aka stocks increase value, which makes rich fucks that live on loans be able to then ask another loan for a bigger amount to pay off the loan from before just because their assets passively rose in value.
It’s the scam by which the ultra rich live by doing absolutely nothing while the rest of us that are saving for a house or whatever see our savings year by year diminished.
Yeah fuck that.

That’s the sentiment that allows these rich fucks to avoid paying taxes without big backlash. First focus on collecting, then on spending…
- Comment on Linus Torvalds and Bill Gates Meet for the First Time Ever 2 months ago:
It’s more nuanced though. Here’s how rich people use charities to gain wealth:
Rich person has tons of money that would be taxed if bill Y passes. Rich person creates a charity and donated 20% of what they would had to pay to the IRS to the charity, with that money the charity uses half for good causes and half is given to X lobby company, which then lobbies politicians to avoid passing that bill.
In the end, the rich person saved 80% of what they would had to pay.
Yeah, 10% went to good causes but imagine what the society could afford if 100% went through instead of 0.
This is a very rough outline of how they do it, but the summary is that they use charities to donate to lobbies while skipping taxes on the donation itself.
