- Comment on Could you be relatively healthy if you replaced traditional carb sources with skittles and multivitamins? 3 days ago:
And some of them have ridiculous dosages. For example some have up to 10x the recommended maximum daily B12 amount and that can and does cause permanent nerve damage if taken daily for an extended period. My wife caught it early when symptoms hadn’t gotten chronic yet, she was lucky.

Yeah the lack of fiber will do a lot of damage over time too.
- Comment on ublock Origin can get rid of Cookie Banners 3 days ago:
I’ve used uBlock Origin for years, but the dev doesn’t accept donations because he doesn’t want an obligation to support the software ongoing. This means I cannot support him even though it would come with no expectations, just thanks.
So thank you for your hard work Raymond Hill/gorhill You’re amazing, doing your part to make the world a better place.

If I lived alone I might resort to this laziness. But I have only lived alone for 8 months in 52 years.

- Comment on How come hypothetically if I make meth in my home. Knowing full well it could explode and take out my neighbors houses, why am I not charged with attempted murder? 2 weeks ago:
I think it depends on the jurisdiction, in your first example, Gary Nawrocki pleaded guilty to third-degree murder, manufacturing methamphetamine and unlawful possession of a listed chemical. In the second I couldn’t find a record of conviction, and in the 3rd Zarins plead guilty to homicide by negligent handling of dangerous weapon/explosive and maintain drug trafficking place.
Generally you need intent for it to be murder, but some jurisdictions have degrees of murder with less stringent legal requirements, It comes down to whether it would be considered acting with an extreme, reckless disregard for human life.
- Comment on What is the moral jurisdiction behind not wishing who're rich and in executive positions to die? 2 weeks ago:
Trumps policies have killed many people.
The cholera epidemic in South Sudan worsened significantly after the Trump administration cut funding to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), which had been providing critical medical support. These cuts led to the closure of clinics that were essential in treating cholera patients, resulting in increased mortality rates during the outbreak.
For example. We’re not talking about someone who did something wrong, we’re talking about a man who’s at best indifferent to suffering and dying of people based on their skin color. This isn’t some regular murderer or even assassin, this is wholesale killing.
Wanting someone who has the power to kill innocent people and does to die is a pretty natural response.
- Comment on Transliterated country names into Chinese Language use pre-existing characters that already has its own meaning, therefore native Chinese speakers have a subconcious impression based on country names. 3 weeks ago:
I’m not a Trump fan. Any review of my socials will reveal some pretty ‘strident criticism’. Do you still recommend I chance losing 5k to 10k of bookings and weeks of leave on the chance I’ll get detained and deported?

- Comment on Sooo... This is happening on Imgur 3 weeks ago:
If you save the images to your account, you can repost them when the thread calls for it.
eg I have a photo of my foot when I broke it off at the ankle. It comes up occasionally and the link is still usable years later. You also have more control over visibility (and posting to Imgur users etc, ie don’t).
For throwaway memes you’ll never want to share again, treating it like a url shortener is great.

- Comment on Sooo... This is happening on Imgur 3 weeks ago:
I’m so old I remember the first post. Hey you can host images for reddit here. The other image hosting sites at the time sucked, they were slow, purged content frequently, and were full of ads. I signed up immediately and imgur was good for almost 10 years and nearly the only place images from reddit reddit users were hosted. I think the pressure to monetize combined with reddit’s own image hosting push sent them into the enshitification death spiral.
- Comment on Is it completely impossible to do age verification without compromising privacy? 5 weeks ago:
Or the government sets up an age verification service that doesn’t store logs and only reports numbers in aggregate. The restricted site sends you and a unique id off to the government service, you verify there and it hands back the id & a yes/no token to the site.
