Sure but the idea that humans are silly automatons that follow price exclusively dies in first year econ classrooms. Canned beans are extremely cheap and much closer to a food you can sustain yourself on, yet marketing promotes the idea that fish fingers and a side of chips is a more reasonable meal than baked potato and a side of beans with sauce, which doesn't feel reasonable. Palatability is also not the most significant factor because people also aren't serving fish fingers and a side of gummy worms despite gummy worms being extremely cheap per calorie and hyper palatable.

We're a long way from being able to restrict the sale of junk food legislatively but not that far from being able to prevent things like showing hot chips on a dinner plate as something reasonable to serve.

Look I am a straight up commie, my pipe dream is humans working together with mutual consideration in mind (an idea that makes you nearly unspeakably radical lmao). Do you know how fucking elated I would be if we could just like ban advertising on "junk food" and idk have it be plain packaged?

Chips are nice, I like chips, I just don't think companies should be free to try hijack our biological drives to maximise destructive pleasure habits.

We can have a little vice, as a treat.

Man who chose between being called closet antisemite and aiding and abetting genocide deflects blame with new tactic: I am not the face of evil, I am actually just unbelievably stupid.

I am having trouble understanding what you wrote.

I mean it in the sense, you lose the excuse to take a long lunch getting vaxxed. Not that vaccines are bad. I am not a lunatic, anyone who is even remotely pro social and not significantly unhealthy gets every vaccine they can because being a vector is the ultimate cringe.

Fucking riot over that haha, everyone could use the longer lunch.

Deeply unserious.

So firstly the invasion of France (assuming you mean French capital R resistance? not like the Warsaw uprising or whatever?) was not a program where the French nationals were split into disconnected areas while German nationals took their land. That sort of displacement was basically only done by German military and government in order to set up their occupation infrastructure.

Secondly the occupation of France was quite short, and during an active was so comparing the circumstances directly is a bit misleading. What did early Palestinian resistance look like?

Thirdly, and I think this is quite key, the French resistance did a shitload of absolutely horrifying stuff and discussions of the right to resist usually point this out: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_to_resist

The unfortunate reality is that resistance is ugly and chaotic, that the moral responsibility lies with oppressors to not oppress, and not turn their citizens into targets by involving them in oppression and carrying out acts in their name, and it is the responsibility of citizens to avoid claiming fruits of such programs such as land and resources.

little L liberals support every struggle for freedom except the current one.

I have no idea what people expect resistance to systematic displacement, imprisonment, discrimination, and murder to look like. If waving some flags and a few kindly worded speeches would have been enough then the 100 prior years was plenty of time for it to do that. At a certain point it becomes kill your attacker or die. Let's not forget who the aggressors are.

Shit sucks, but there aren't exactly innocents in an active colonisation and genocide program.

It's 20 bucks, if you haven't got it and the price is a barrier message me and I'll cover you lmao.

Free would probably be ideal, but realistically people don't get it because they're lazy and don't think of the flu as serious (which for most people, it isn't). It's an education problem, hence the higher rates with oldies.

I'm honestly shocked more jobs don't pay for people to go get it. 1 hour out of the office and 20 bucks and then you don't have a whole week of sick leave. Most bean counters are stupid though, and got their job by doing coke with the right people more than anything else.

Anything that people write is correct really, like language is created by anyone making sounds or patterns to share meaning.

Data is a plural though, seppo dominance using it as singular is changing it outside that miserable empire but it's one of my hangups haha.

[–] naevaTheRat 6 points 3 months ago (2 children)

The only error I can see is "the data is" should be "the data are". Stylistically I would also change utilizing to using, which conveys exactly the same meaning and is more accessible.

Otherwise I believe this is regular English. It's ok to have difficulty comprehending language, but it's more productive to ask questions about the parts you don't understand.

Can I help with any specific questions?

So cool that you have to booby trap sites and insert delays and stuff because a handful of rich psychopaths refuse to respect robots.txt
