What do you mean by “not genetically ready for it”? People in third world countries don’t have significantly different genetics to those in first world countries, and people in first world countries haven’t evolved since the introduction of McDonald’s

The blackouts showed that the majority of people actually contributing to the site use third party apps

Seriously. Wagner mercenaries are the only trained soldiers left in Russia after Putin sent his personal army to their deaths

To be very brief:

Beehaw seeks primarily to protect its users and create a space where they aren’t going to be attacked for being who they are.

The Beehaw admins noticed they were dealing with a lot of hate from 2 lemmy instances which had open sign ups.

Beehaw defederated from those 2 instances.

There’s been some kickback from people who think defederating goes against the core values of Lemmy.

That’s all I’ve got, I’m sure others will be able to add to this

How else are you going to know if you like it?

Tip for anyone doing CSS: chatGPT is really good at it

Box A has $1,000,000

Literally the title of the post

Then they block your site and prevent you ever doing business in one of the world’s largest markets. I’m not sure how liability works but the CEO may also be unable to travel to the EU also

I’m loving the DJ! It does go off the rails a bit if you leave it on too long

I listen to a lot of different genres but I’m bad at sorting them so they’re all just in a massiv playlist. The DJ plays them in little batches of similar genres which flows a lot better than the random shuffle

You, hearing that someone is torturing monkeys: “ah yes that reminds me I should torture some monkeys”

???

Neither needs to happen

Food yes, animals products no

You misunderstand the ethics of veganism. Vegans aim to reduce suffering. So far, science points to most animals being likely to suffer similarly to how we as humans suffer, since we share evolutionary history and similar biological systems.

Plants do not share these systems, nor have any evolutionary pressure to be able to suffer or feel pain, since they would not be able to do anything about it anyway

It’s not a blanket “living things are sacred”

Furthermore, if you really cared at all about the poor suffering plants, you’d know that the vast vast majority of plants grown by humans are fed inefficiently to animals. So, by going vegan, you’d be hugely reducing the number of plants you are causing harm to

Finally, carnivorous animals have literally nothing to do with veganism. Please stop trying to discredit a movement you don’t even understand

That’s how I started too, and now I’m a die hard vegan :)

If your goal is in that direction, don’t get yourself down when you hit setbacks. I can thrive now, but when I was first beginning my journey I struggled a lot with eating out, especially abroad.

A setback doesn’t mean you can’t keep moving forward

You’re calling someone an unbelievable dumbarse and then immediately using a logical fallacy, who’s the dumbarse here?

An appeal to nature is a pathetic defense. It’s natural to rape and murder too, but obviously we recognise that those are negative things that should be avoided. Why do you think needlessly killing an animal is any different?

You didn’t need to kill the cow to eat, you chose to kill something that didn’t want to die for the fleeting taste of it’s dead body on your tongue
