Looking at that list, most things look like very basic components that can be easily found on aliexpress, and thus in China, and thus probably easy to get for Russia. Are we going to forbid selling those components to China or how is this supposed to work? (genuinely curious)

But if honey is cultivated in a way that’s better for the bees than other sources of sugar, wouldn’t using honey be more logical for vegans?

I recently read an article about a doctor who was making a case that the issue is not that those 1 in 5 are “neurodivergent”, but our current society is causing harm. When he sees ADHD symptoms his first “treatments” are proper nutrition, making sure they feel like they’re doing meaningful things in life, enough exercise, etc…

I’m also sometimes starting to wonder if for a part we’re not just medicating people to “thrive” in a society that’s inhuman, rather than make society work for as many people as possible.

But it’s of course a very complex & grey area, and let’s be honest, something as vague as ADHD probably encompasses a lot of different causes. And it’ll probably take decades of research before we actually manage to split up all the things that are today lumped together into the separate things with each their own propert treatment.

I’d say the issue is that if honey isn’t vegan because you’re causing harm to bees, isn’t most of modern vegetable agriculture at least equally harmful to bees & other insects due to all the pesticides being used?

Or is it just if we directly involve bees, it’s bad, but if we inflict greater harm in a less direct way, it’s acceptable?

No, you didn’t say “specifically”, you just completely imply it if you word it like that. Stop playing wordgames please…

It is to your claim that he specifically failed black americans.

And it’s also your move to prove that Obamas policies were actually the issue, because similar things happened all over the world, and a government can only do so much.

By the character assassination he probably means he’s depicted as an asocial eccentric genious, while by all accounts he was a fairly normal charming person.

And regarding his accomplishments, the movie is also completely wrong. His Enigma decoding work was of course very valuable, but as others mentioned here heavily based on earlier polish efforts, and teamwork, not just him. It’s also portrayed as an early computer, and is then said that he was at the basis of modern computers. This is bullshit, that device was in no way close to modern computers, and he was at the forefront of theoretical computer science. Look up the turing machine which is a theoretical device that can compute anything an actual computer can compute, but has very simple properties making scientific/mathematical analysis of what computation is, what is computable, … possible. Which is an incredible achievement, would be nice if they mentioned that in the movie…

(and also the entire story is just fantasy around the work that happened for enigma. His nemesis in the movie that was against building the machine also never existed etc…)

The only thing truthful about the movie is “There was a gay computer scientist named Alan Turing that played an important role in decoding the enigma encoded messages during the second world war”, and all the rest is just invented drama that’s not in any way based on reality. He wasn’t some autistic genius, there was no nemesis, he didn’t invent computers, nor was the enigma decoding device related to computers, etc…

It completely misses the mark on what he actually accomplished.

I love how you wrote all this, and are completely missing the mark. Nintendo is filing a lawsuit claiming that the palworld devs violated their patents, not their copyrights.

Anything palworld ‘copied’ from pokémon is either japanese lore, or from older games. This is not a copyright suit. If a copyright suit were possible, Nintendo would have brought it waaaay earlier. I’m wondering which patents Nintendo has that were supposedly violated.

I love how there’s this entire discussion here about copyright etc… while that’s not even what this is about.

Are you on purpose missing the point?

The point the person you replied to made is that she didn’t completely stop drinking alcohol once she was diagnosed to have a terminal liver disease due to alcohol use.

So first of all, she must have drank a lot more than 3 drinks a week to have terminal liver disease in her 30s that’s due to alcohol (yes, all of that is in the article)

But the issue is she didn’t stop drinking after being diagnosed, she reduced her consumption but didn’t stop it.

If any of the above is incorrect, feel free to correct us, but making a point that’s completely missing the facts that are being talked about here doesn’t add anything to the discussion.

I kind of hate this kind of narrative here.

Yeah, capitalism is shit etc… but let’s get to the real root cause: we’re all still animals, and want our pack to be the best. The root issue isn’t money, it’s power. Many societies wouldn’t mind degrowth if it didn’t mean all the others would bury them & dance on their grave.

If one single country would actually degrow, all the others would dominate it financially, loot it for all its worth, and unless it can completely 100% sustain itself without outside trade (pretty much impossible in our globalized society), it would mostly collapse. And even if it could sustain itself, the power imbalance would be so huge we’d run in all other kinds of issues soon (hey, why not just conquer that country that is pretty much powerless now?)

Imo we’re all just animals knowing we’re headed for extinction, but at the same time it’s a big game of chicken on the road, the first to stray from this path will get fucked in so many ways by all the others who see their chance to improve their situation… And imo capitalism isn’t the cause of that, but one of the results of this. It’s just another way for us to compete and try to fuck eachother over like the animals we still are.

So either we get to some near global agreement on how to get out of this situation, or we just keep doing far too little since… what’s the point of trying to improve things if it just means you get annihilated by those that don’t, and things will remain the same despite your best efforts…

Ah yes, i can’t critisize such stupid articles without opposing their message… I’d love more equality, and agree that something should be done about it.

I just would love to see actually useful numbers that mean something when we make a fuss about it rather than useless info like this that is meaningless.

How you interpreted my message as bootlicking is beyond me, but i guess you’re a youngling that interprets any critique as an attack?

This is a completely meaningless figure…

I really hate when articles come out with this kind of data. Huge numbers like this without any context just mean nothing. Ok, 42 trillion$, how much money did they already have? How much percent did their fortunes increase? Is that more or less than inflation?

It’s just a meaningless huge number that has no intention other than to shock, certainly not to inform or they would have given actually useful numbers that would actually let you have an idea whether it’s that bad or not…

I hate that people keep falling for nonsens like this… Just post a huge number without any context or any other numbers needed to be able to make sense of it, and everyone is like “omfgwtfbbq, this is SOOOO bad”! Is it? It’s perfectly possible that this isn’t even enough to keep up with inflation, and they’re technically poorer, probably not, but we’ll never know from this useless article…

It’s fascinating which angle you’ll take on next :).

Keep trying :)

Keep going, might end up having to write a little script to automate keeping you busy :).

Ah yes, now i’m thinking about you all day XD. It’s totally not me coming onto lemmy, seeing i got a notification and seeing you going another round of embarassing yourself :). But keep it up :). This is funny to see :). You’re persistent for sure :).

roflmao XD

You projecting you being upset onto me being upset XD. Yeah, i called you out, and now you’re trying every troll trick you know to weasel out of it and get the last word :).

And if you like being wrong and want to keep proving to me how wrong and childish you are, sounds like a great time :). Keep replying and keep trying all those troll tricks to not feel like you lost a discussion on the internet, i’m sure it’s worth it XD.

I must admit this has become somewhat amusing for me too, seeing which argument you’ll try this time to somewhat save face :).
