Reuters is still reporting on the epstein files, so what’s wrong?

Here you can see the effect of increasing global temperature on precipitation:

Children experience more extreme emotions in general, not just happiness. Think of the tantrums they throw.

And honestly, no, my main goal isn’t to blindly chase dopamine.

For one, happiness is more complex than that, you cannot just reduce it to one hormone (e.g. what about serotonin or oxytocin?)

Secondly, I think experience and personal development are important, they put happiness into perspective and let you appreciate it better. Leaving your comfort zone can be deeply rewarding, even if it doesn’t immediately result in a dopamine boost.

I can confidently say that I am happier now than I was as a child, despite the fact I now laugh less.

Because on Lemmy we never have comments/posts removed or users blocked because mods disagree with them /s

I’m annoyed by the notion that our bodies somehow need animal protein to build muscles. What we need is a specific mix of amino acids. Animal proteins generally provide a similar mix, but that just means that eating meat is the easy route. It is definitely possible to mix plant proteins to provide our bodies with everything they need (at least in terms of proteins).

And honestly, I’m just tired of animal suffering, man.

It is probably best to listen to your doctor.

Personally, I supplement 25 µg K2 and 20 µg D3 (800 IU), because I am vegan.

2,000 IU seems excessive to me, and I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re overdosing with 8,000. I’m not a doctor tho, so idk.

Imperialism is cool as long as the people doing the imperialism call themselves socialists or communists 🙂‍↕️

I have a Taiwanese friend who is very much anti-CCP, but he does go to china for vacation every now and then.

Yes, you need to be in the right headspace, you cannot expect to vocally or publicly criticize the government and go unpunished. But politics are not everything. China is beautiful in many ways and has many great people. I think it would be a good idea to take the opportunity and make this experience. And afterwards, your opinions on china and the CCP will have a stronger foundation than they do now.

edit: you say you are politically active: is this evident from your social media accounts? That might be problematic.

Considering how often I see nsfw or nsfl stuff because it wasn’t tagged… no I don’t think so, at least there doesn’t seem to be anything widely adopted on Lemmy.

For images at least it should be possible to create a bot that downloads any uploaded image, runs it through an API like Sightengine, and then automatically removes posts or bans users. Each instance would then of course decide whether to set up such a bot, so there is not going to be any fediverse-wide automod.

Training good models requires lots of training data and computational resources, so the only ones who can afford to train them are big corporations with access to both. And the only objective they have is to increase their profit.

Donating blood plasma is good as it helps people in need. Sure, it sucks that there is a company in the middle making a profit, but not donating is not the solution to that problem, as it hurts the people in need more than the corporation in the middle.

I think its kinda similar to the tipping situation. Yes it sucks that restaurants don’t pay their employees properly and that you have to tip to support the employees. But not tipping hurts the employees rather than the restaurant owner.

In both cases, if we want change, we need to change the legislation.

:( I don’t drive because I want to, I drive because there is no infrastructure allowing me to get to work any other way.
