Damn dude, you raise an impressive “please block me, your Lemmy experience will only be enhanced” argument.

due to food shortages and much more limited food variety

That is “CLEARLY explained why the study is bogus”? Get real. You revealed you don’t even know who’s behind the study. So, you demonstrate little evidence of providing valid insight and not ignorant, poorly-informed speculation. And you’re rude.

May we enjoy our separate Lemmy experiences henceforth

You don’t know what you’re talking about, and your comment sounds racist. Oxford University and Cornell University were also principally involved:

30 plants per week is a cool goal and a cool way of thinking about your diet

To adults who reveal an ignorant belief that cows magically make milk, dropping a hint about why cows produce milk all the time and why female humans they know do not. Hint: it’s not a difference in biology across mammalian species, it’s perpetual rape and forced impregnation and birthing.

It’s wild how different this response is to the US’ response to COVID and other infectious diseases in humans

Got a source for the Guardian no longer using AGI? Given a ‘desperately trying to convince people that AI is cool’ title like this, discontinued use seems highly unlikely

Wow, thank you so much for sharing this. What a major blow to the Guardian’s credibility

I visited Chicago. Took a tour of Wrigley Field (where the Cubs play) and spent a little time in Wrigleyville (the surrounding area). I went to a White Sox game that evening (where my Blue Jays were playing). I got into a conversation with a gentleman in the seat behind me. He was talking disparagingly of the White Sox and I pointed that out, and he said “Oh I hate the White Sox. I’m only here because this is a free seat and a work outing.” The stands were very empty in the stadium. I don’t know if they offered stadium tours. I came away with the impression that the White Sox were a littler brother to the Cubs in Chicago than the Clippers are to the Lakers the or Mets are to the Yankees. So, if I was guessing, I’d guess a person affiliated with Chicago would be a Cubs fan if they’re a supporter of an MLB team in that city

Finally, a scale for the rest of us!

Wow, really cool. Sounds like great progress for the industry. And it’s Canadian >.<! Good on AOL for covering this, although they should have used the “grilled cheese pull apart” test for the headline photo (copied below).

Here’s a popular press summary from the journal’s publisher: Just as Gouda: Improving the Quality of Cheese Alternatives

I love how protective this capy looks

This is the same bogus and weaponizable logic that legitimate criticism of Israel’s genocide = ‘antisemitism’ is. If you want to call legitimate criticism of the illegal and unethical actions of this POTUS administration ‘hate for America’, the notion that deportations (of US-born people) are going to ramp up shortly just became very real for me

Unfortunately, no, I’m not aware of any alternate platform to imdb. I use Wikipedia for movie info, but it doesn’t have fan/ user reviews, etc.

May I ask what movie? imdb is amazon, which I don’t support

I don’t really avoid non-vegan food topics because they’re triggering to me. I might have for the first 6 months or so I was vegan, when my newfound vegan anguish or vystopia was really fresh.

But now, seeing someone eat meat or talk about how much they like meat products doesn’t affect me much. I know that 100 million or so sentient beings are being killed each and every day after being confined to cramped, cruel, and unhygienic environments all their lives - and it’s killing the planet and causing humans to be on cardio metabolic drugs all their lives. All of this is propped up and protected by big money through ag-gag laws, government subsidies, ridiculous advertising budgets, and lobbying against vegan meats.

I find it saddening to be around chicken restaurants, because I know chickens are treated very inhumanely. I dislike any imaging of say a chicken offering up a bucket of fried chicken.

I avoid talking about non-vegan food and being in non-vegan-friendly environments because I don’t want to participate in those types of events. I might have a good amount of things in common with someone who’s non-vegan, but talking to them about meat focuses our interaction on things I don’t share with them at all and in fact think less of them for it (e.g., what is behind their daily cruelty to sentient beings - unintelligence, denial, a desire to fit in). Often some guilt or defensiveness in them upon learning that I don’t share their indifference to the suffering of non-human animals is the first thing that’s noticeable. I’ll steer conversations back to things we have in common.

People who are genuinely curious about eating less non-human animal products have very different vibes. And I always try to welcome them where they’re at.

“Are you getting my good side?”

That is a purple leg. Beautiful bird and great shot!
