That is an important distinction, true! But that just means they’re the target group of all those resource-intensive innovations towards animal based proteins that are more sustainable. So I felt it important to consider them.

Politely disagree. I think we’re kidding ourselves if right wing conspiracy theorists are the only anti plant based crowd. There’s plenty of otherwise leftist people that would never question this one unjustified hierarchy. The meat and dairy industries have done a stellar job with advertising over many decades. Most people still believe we NEED meat or dairy to thrive. And even those that don’t very often wouldn’t give up the sensory pleasure of the taste and texture of meat or other animal products.

Ikr? I have to use YouTube a specific way. I’ll go to a channel and go to the tab that just lists the videos chronologically. I’ll go back there if I want a second video. The only way I find new creators I enjoy watching is through recommendation/someone sending a link to a group chat. Shame really, I bet there’s plenty of content out there that I’d enjoy, but I can’t handle the algorithm.

I think the Facebook thing is because it was more or less the first social media that pretty much everyone was on. Everything before was a little more niche. But back in, like, 2010, it felt like you were missing out if you weren’t on FB. At least that’s my experience/guess (I’m 27 and in middle Europe).

Lemmy is the only one I’ll log onto and the only one I have as an app.

Sometimes though, I’ll miss a super specific community from the place spez ruined, and scroll through it in DuckDuckGo browser.

Anything that has an intransparent, engagement driving, ad laden algorithm that determines what you do and don’t see is thoroughly unappealing to me. At least now that I’m a little more tech savvy and anti-corporate.

I guess I do technically have a Facebook account still because I don’t remember the password of either that account or the associated email address. I used that for local flea market and food sharing groups up until maybe 6 years ago.

Im having a hard time understanding why there’s so much time and effort being put into finding new sustainable protein sources when we already have legumes

I have one singular belly hair that is like 2-3cm long and not even in the centre. It’s like ten centimetres to the side of my belly button. The rest of my belly hair is peach fuzz (part black part white). That one also always regrows.

Edit: I have a few nose hairs that are black and a bit more course than usual face fuzz. Like maybe about ten?

Now if only it kept me away from the Wikipedia rabbit hole haha

For me personally, having to reboot is part of why I like my dual boot. I have adhd, so it’s good to keep gaming entirely separate from anything productive.

It’s what decades of intentional suppression of education paired with propaganda will do to people.

I don’t really get how hurting an animal and then NOT eating it, just for fun, is better than killing for food

Omg there was a teacher at my school that would make songs that were just some super basic beat and him conjugating verbs, with a little bit of echo. Then he’d play them during class while looking at the students.

Oof I’m going to go on that soon. This is the main thing I’m afraid of :( best of luck to you!

I’ve tried cowashing before! I have a lot of hair, but thin individual strands, and it kinda made it too hydrated (idk how else to explain) so I lost my waves.

Wild guess here, but if it’s from antidepressants, like it is for me, you can be prescribed a second antidepressant at a dose too low to help depression, but high enough to get the side effect: heightened appetite. It’s not a miracle fix, but it helps me eat more.

Do you never use shampoo? I personally only even wet my hair once or twice a week, then wash with shampoo though.

If they stopped working, they would eventually have to worry. That is the fundamental difference.

Almost all of them have to work to live somewhat comfortably. They also have to do their own housework and childcare in addition to paid labour, which rich people do not. Both of those, especially in combination, are stressful. Stress ages you.

Once you get to a certain amount of wealth, you never have to do labour again, paid or otherwise, unless you want to.

Not to mention that they can’t afford dieticians, personal trainers, aestheticians, etc., as the rich do.

Very true, even in a less life/death situation. Example, a piercing hurts much much more than stubbing your toe, but people, myself included, keep coming back for more of them.

Possibly controversial: if it’s obvious they don’t like it, don’t put it on them. They’re living beings, not dolls.

The short time after smartphones but before free EU roaming was the prime days of offline map apps that you specifically downloaded for each city
