The mainland is also stolen land, there’s no ethical consumption etc etc.

At least in cuba you’re contributing much needed foreign currency to their socialist economy in contravention of the wishes of the US state (not to say there are no issues with tourism in cuba, but there are some mitigating factors that put it above capitalist, especially settler-colonial states to me). In florida you’re just contributing to the desantis regime and the utter destruction of indigenous lands.

lmaooooo

In his view, Russia might have such a motive, for example.

“They really seem to think that they have a special right to do such things. The motive for sabotage is usually that it’s done because it can be done,” he added.

“the motive for sabotage is usually just because they felt like it, which of course applies strongly to RUSSIA”

I guess it depends on the car and other circumstances but in my world a 13 year old car that only needs a brake job and one new rim or valve stem or something is like, probably still too nice for me lmao, let alone worth tossing out. I’ve never paid more than $1500 for one, though some of those have needed some work done

fuck america, god damn lol, even just having a diagnosis fucks you over, then if you treat it using the good and effective available treatments that’s an outright ban?

it all depends on the implementation tbh. At best this’ll be tone policing of antizionists that would never be applied to islamophobes, but at worst it could be as you say, justification for mass censorship of anti-zionist content

I don’t think it’ll just stop at censoring people using “zionist pigs” as an insult (which isn’t antisemitic to begin with ofc), it’ll probably go further because the people that cajoled twitch into making this change in the first place will keep pushing those same buttons (threatening advertisers with smear campaigns) again and again, but there must be limits to how far they can be pushed

he streamed today just a short one since he’s streaming basketball on someone elses account tn, I thought the same thing lol

he talked about it and basically said it sucks and shat on the bad faith of the people and orgs pushing it, but said he’d abide by it and people in his chat using zionist as an insult were probably going to be logged and banned later by twitch

I have seen like, one example of maybe actual antisemitism using the word zionist along these lines. And I am on the internet reading about palestine a lot. This doesn’t need a specific rule and will obviously only be used to censor anti-zionists

Calling someone a zionist pig for example, if they are in fact a zionist, should not be treated any worse than calling them just “a pig”

this sent me down a rabbithole and hot damn that website is rough to use

I found the first usable data digging into this one: https://www.fao.org/faostat/en/#data/FBS

with options looking like this (just hit select all to get all measures on that top right box):

seeing figures on the same order as whats listed in the OP:

except it’s continued to increase lol

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/vegetable-consumption-per-capita betting this is where they sourced it, FAO presents it at the supply level, the per capita figures are probably OWID’s doing? Hilariously this probably also means the US figures are even lower due to home food waste not being accounted for

FIRST!!

I literally just posted about this in the mega, so glad you’re still out there doing stuff! the reasoning behind not doing weekly updates makes perfect sense to me (also can I get a matrix invite?)

if you’re ever in the middle of the country hmu

I could not survive in nyc lol, even if it is cool as fuck and one of only a few real big cities in amerikkka, is just too expensive

I don’t even mind small spaces but I don’t think I could share an apartment 3+ ways unless it was like for a common goal, I’d have to get one of those tokyo style micro apartments instead lmao

I know I’m kind of necroposting replying at this point but the reason I don’t post on DIY more as someone who loves that kind of thing (besides laziness and forgetting it exists) is not wanting to doxx myself with photos of my desk or workbench or whatever (or like, here’s what kind of apartment I live in, or what model of car or bike I have, etc etc).

But I think I could achieve enough opsec to be happy (maybe have a segregated account just for DIYposting idk) and have posted a bit of DIY-ish stuff in the past. The DIY electrolysis machine has been pretty inspiring but my posting would mostly be little tweaks and mods and special interests probably. I also need to take pictures of things while I do them lol

Paypal is weird about shipping addresses yeah. Used to be a huge thing on ebay, you had to ship to the address you had saved/chosen in paypal, the seller usually wouldn’t send it otherwise, you couldn’t change it just on the ebay side. I don’t think it has to be your legal name, just change the shipping address on the paypal site

“protect the value of food” really hits the nail on the head

First they’ll do what, shame consumers about letting some lettuce spoil that one time? Then they’ll donate some wasted food to food banks or whatever (which they already do) and the rest will go to be anaerobically digested by bacteria, cause god forbid anyone get “suboptimal” food from the dumpster and eat it. Human digestion produces greenhouse gases! its bad for the planet!

This is just like liberal rhetoric about homelessness. We have to eradicate it because living on the street or in tents or huts or encampments isn’t “dignified” but we do that by chasing them around with police violence and private security and pouring millions into the NGO/nonprofit industrial complex to house like 40 people a year, rather than serious investments in public housing and services

who tf is doing local “work with AI” lol

On a laptop, no less

even the huge models that you can’t run locally are kinda mid and hallucinate a lot, why would you run some tiny local thing unless you’re generating banned material

canada has a slightly different strain, but still H5N1, it is circulating there in bird flocks and showing up in wild mammals and now a human: https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/avian-influenza-bird-flu/canadas-national-lab-confirms-h5n1-hospitalized-teen

There are others too like https://scribe.rip/ and such, but idk if they’re as polished
