Which studies? A quick search doesn’t seem to confirm that at all. From checking some of those studies, there seems to be a weak/low certainty correlation of lower meat consumption with lower cancer risks, a correlation (with geographical differences) of meat consumption with being overweight, but also other factors like smoking and low physical activity which really call into question whether other studies took that into account, and also a correlation between higher meat consumption and lower risk for depression (which I would also call into question given meat consumption’s correlation with high socioeconomic status).

All I can get from those metastudies is a big nothing burger of “maybe”'s in either direction.

Is it that surprising? Age play is a thing, plus so much porn has actresses dressed up to look like a child for some reason (the reason is people are into it). It’s just that, same as any other fetish that will harm people if acted on, 99% of that 1.5% are just gonna be normal about it and not diddle kids.

Yep, and even for me while I prefer to download the game directly usually, when I need to bother with manually getting it to work, I much prefer steam and its proton integration. It’s nice that most games at least just work by running them in a random proton prefix with protontricks, but shipping them with an install script that just gives you a shortcut and installs any dependencies would be huge (actually a step up from steam). And then if galaxy runs on linux it could use that same process.

Mein Kampf has a lot of rambles about jews. It’s not coincidence that they were the largest group of victims.

I don’t really like it being synonymous with fascist, nazi to me specifically implies someone thinks hitler wasn’t so bad actually. Not that I’ll split hairs over it because assholes are assholes, it’s far more annoying when either word is used for “this person has done a bad thing that could be vaguely classified as right wing”

Tbh I get it in this case, since the overall size is around the same, the stream deck just takes up the numpad space.

Then again, surely most functions of a stream deck could also just be mapped to numpad keys if it’s an either/or question anyway… (assuming kb has a volume knob, and then the other knobs could be on key+volume knob)

I would call it systemic, in fact I’d argue it’s the central flaw of capitalism (but one that imo can be mostly fixed with heavy regulation and taxes scaling to near 100% as you say).

When wealth = power, those with wealth will always attract even more wealth.

Saying it’s even worse does imo, since there’s no shared statistic as the original 25% was about illegal immigrants rather than criminal records.

Arch is hard if you don’t like reading documentation and doing basic troubleshooting. Which is perfectly valid.

If you don’t mind that or even enjoy learning things that way, arch is the nicest experience possible.

Don’t (most) transmen inject/otherwise take testosterone? That would be doping if a cis man did it. So I do think there’s an argument there (not really any better than the argument against transwomen in women’s sports, in both cases imo hormone levels just need to be monitored and you can have pretty much equal competition).

I also think at the top level it’s not entirely invalid to say you don’t want people with heavily modified bodies competing. Anything that isn’t either the global top level or professional I find it completely ridiculous though, the level is just so wildly variant that any tiny advantage potentially gained from that is negligible anyway.

But also everything I know about the science behind it tells me trans athletes are completely fine (in trans womens case after some minimum time or HRT) because as it turns out hormones kinda determine everything about your body.

I first looked up porn online around that age and never had that kind of image of sex at any point. No idea if that’s due to my personality, the fact that I read a lot of people’s perspectives online which told me porn is unrealistic, or just that I had plenty of idea what sex was about at 13 because of course I had questions before then and any answer I got emphasized the part where both parties involved enjoy it and love each other.

Maybe a bit of all of them. But I really think that while trying to restrict porn access for minors a little more than an “are you 18” pop-up is probably a good thing, it needs to be without violating any adult’s privacy and the main way to prevent damage is and always will be better education.

There was no value judgement in mine (or the other guys) comment, that’s entirely your victim complex. Of course I would rather china not try to destroy our local markets but that is very very low on the list of things to hate the ccp for and I can’t say it’s fundamentally morally wrong in the world we live in either.

It’s just a fact that it’s subsidized and your propaganda that it’s cheap because china is just better at manufacturing is a flat out lie.

Maybe understand the very basics of trade wars first lol

They’re that cheap because the chinese government pays for them to be that cheap. It also helps that they exploit their workforce as much as possible, but they still wouldn’t be as cheap as they are without the subsidies.

Small correction: Them sitting on it and growing isn’t quite it doing nothing - for it to grow, the money has to be somewhere in the economy “doing” things. Then the rich person gets money for doing nothing because the company (and by extension its workers) are partially “theirs”.

The benefit of a wealth tax is less freeing up that money, and more so not enabling rich people to spend the money they get for doing nothing on excessive luxuries that only serve to pollute the planet and take up resources that could be used for useful things (and also doing something against excessive wealth accumulation in general, which is imo capitalisms greatest flaw - money leads to more money, and money = power, and we are living in the reality resulting from that)

Theyre more likely to keep the skin economy alive by making people enjoy the game. It’s not like they have no incentive.

But yea I very much agree gabe is not the problem. If every billionaire acted like gabe the world would probably be a whole lot better, even if they’d still waste a lot of ressources. Because at least he hasn’t sold his basic human decency for more money, he just spends his insane amounts of money on excessive luxury. And valve actually takes risks on new products, and is content with their store shitting money instead of trying to make it shit money faster like every publically traded company.

Happens very frequently in gaming communities because european servers often get abbreviated as EU, so people just keep using it to mean europe in other contexts.

Honestly unsure if the times I’ve used euro is just because someone else did first or because I felt it necessary to distinguish from the EU and didn’t feel like writing “european” (though actually yea, I don’t think I’ve ever seen it used by europeans to mean “Europe”, only “european”).

I’ve used it sometimes, as have others I know. The most common I’ve seen and use is still “EU” to just mean europe though. In contrast to “the EU”, which is the European Union.

It seems to somehow come through. At least my grandma, who is now in a retirement home and I’m pretty sure gets her news only from TV and radio, lists netanyahu in the same sentence as trump and putin as horrible people that should really die asap.

The few articles from traditional media I’ve read myself did feel that way though.

Satire based on Israel’s rhethoric I’m assuming.

And I’d bet that a significant portion of that voting block also does not have a favourable view of israel, so uh what? Someone being jewish doesn’t mean they automatically agree with israels actions, unlike what israeli propaganda would like you to believe.

The citations metric is also slanted, because pretty much all countries will cite english papers regardless of the language of the paper being written, but all non anglo countries also produce a significant part of papers in the local language, which are much less likely to get cited.
