Most Christian schools have vague morality clauses in the contracts for students and staff alike.

This is wild! A free copy on release day?

If it's any consolation, the admins of .ml will likely indefinitely host .ml with or without the support of patrons funding the development of Lemmy. Your support or lack thereof will never affect its operation.

Sorry but have to disagree. Look at the talk page on a math or science Wikipedia article, the people who maintain those pages are deadly serious. Medical journals and scientific publications aren't intended to be accessible to a wider public, they're intended to be bases for research - primary sources. Wikipedia is a digest source.

You're going for a much stricter comparison than your parent comment. They were just saying that calculators are a standard tool that did not in fact destroy the fundamentals of learning as some people felt compelled to believe. If you give a calculator to a child learning their times tables, it can in fact do their work for them, but we managed to integrate calculators into learning at higher levels. Whether calculators can be wrong isn't really relevant.

Just be at peace with the trades that you have to make with digital privacy to live your life. There are a lot of doomers in this sphere who will tell you that it's worthless unless you go full Luddite. What you're experiencing is less of a sober observation of digital privacy and more of reflection of your current emotional state. Just my 2c.

Instead of reflecting on your digital privacy as such, it's probably more efficient to the overall goal to work on developing your IRL social network and getting to a place of emotional security. Less time spent online seeking a cure for loneliness means a smaller digital footprint.

Hmmm, you might have a case but maybe not.

The US Copyright office currently does not recognize protections for AI-generated works, and for portions of complete works that are AI-generated. For example, if a comic has graphics generated by AI but a script written by people, the graphics and character likenesses, etc are not protected by copyright.

For audiobooks, the original work and the accompanying recording are both protected by copyright. The audiobook is considered a derivative work, so it may still be protected based on the fact that the original work is rightfully protected by copyright.

He streams for like 8 hours a day, most of which is making commentary on current events - eventually, you'll run out of gas and say something stupid. He has a solid basis of knowledge but obviously pushes the aesthetic and ideology above any attempt to be even-handed.

He's not as eloquent or well researched on specific topics other debate bros, even if you agree with his bottom line you can tell he struggles to deliver substantive arguments in certain moments... He has a very strong tell when he knows he's grasping.

What you personally believe isn't really important. You should look at research around obesity intervention from the NIH and other international institutions. This is a well-researched field.

What are you even attempting to prove with this? That fat people are bad because their nurses may get injured from handling them? You really need to reflect on your own motivation in this moment.

I feel like I reasonably addressed the basic issue. I don't think someone can gain literal weight without eating more calories than they consume, because that is how thermodynamics work. But it's not always as straightforward as over eating, and it doesn't always feel like over eating. For example, common cases of obesity in the US are due to a high amount of hyper processed foods that are calorie dense but don't feel filling. Fat people don't gorge themselves every meal, they eat what feels like a regular amount to sate their hunger. That's why semaglutides are so effective, they make you feel hungry less and full faster. And shame based approaches at making people eat less have been proven not to work, because they don't teach them to choose better foods or make them feel less hungry.
