I've grown up underweight my whole life into adulthood, got on birth control, and now carry weight despite eating the same fruit/veggie based diet and less food (cause inflation hurts) PLUS regular access to the gym. Tbh thanks to the person who posted the articles because the cognitive dissonance was getting too much to handle!

Human connection is a need just as strong as hunger or rest, like it'a almost an accepted medical issue that loneliness causes early death. If anything, having such a low rate of marriage only further harms the low income group more than it would higher income groups

So from my understanding, methane is produced solely in the decomposition of the matter, so yes it does bring down methane emissions. The second part about carbon is, from my understanding, just saying that, as plants do, remove carbon from the air and convert to oxygen.

But I was actually coming here to check about lomi composting. Since moving I've had some trouble keeping up with composting since my city does not deal with waste from large apartment complexes, so no curbside composting. I have plants too so this actually might be helpful if I can find it used...

Bold to assume that it's an instinct and not a taught and learned behavior.

I suppose, but isn't it enough to see the boys hanging out and running around? Must we always have a plot to follow?

(Haha I'm just incredibly not picky when it comes to art, so as long as there is something good I'll enjoy, I know this isn't the case for everyone tho)

Why hate something animated THAT good!?

Your write ups are fantastic and I refer to them quite often when talking about privacy for activist! If you have one geared towards those concerns, such as locking down communications and ensuring a phone is as secure as possible would be good. There is talk about patterns and metadata that I would love to hear your take on.

I'm dabbling in getting rid of windows on my laptop and so far just used Debian since it seems like a safe starter distro, but with a recent OS failure (windows, not linux) I finally tried booting from a USB and kinda love that? So maybe more privacy focused linux information since I have trouble finding stuff on trusted sites and using searx to find information.

I guess last topic I can think about is having some good points about why it matters? Most people I talk to don't seem to care much, and of course it won't change anyone's mind immediately, but just having a good line of logic to get people thinking might be good? I was talking to a coworker over our frustration that our job forces us to download an app just to access our email in the name of "security" but it feels more like "invasion", especially since it's our personal phones.

Oh, actually; is there anyway for people willing to learn how to tell if an app has trackers or is a breach of privacy?

I've been slowly implementing steps from this guide, but I just don't understand changing the default SMS app to a different app...is it a case of using open source applications? I guess in Silence case, that provides some level of encryption, but wouldn't there still be metadata? Also, I have a VPN that works on my phone always, and I noticed both Blokada and Netguard require the one port used for the VPN...should I drop the VPN on my phone and use Blokada instead? Thank you for making this guide by the way, I have a Samsung device and can't find any open source OS that support it so I have to keep using it as is and wanted to find ways to secure it.
