I have read the article and resent the implication of your comment. Please see rule 1. As a moderator of two communities yourself I expected better conduct from you.

I think its pretty obvious there's a decent amount of sealioning going on so I think its OK to be a bit frank.

The paper cites two textbooks in nutrition for this quote, both of which are unavailable to me. If you have indeed read these sources, I invite you to cite them here in full so we may discuss them.

I guess my question would be, is the author of this article trustworthy or not. I'm going to take a wager you didn't interrogate all the over 100 articles cited by the author with as much scrutiny as those 2. Are you able to access the ones cited that reaffirm your beliefs?

For your future reference, c/carnivore is a community for the discussion of metabolic health and its related topics.

The carnivore community is for the discussion of eating meat. Something I want to be clear, I'm not intrinsically opposed to, but the fact you're pretending otherwise makes me think you're engaged in motivated reasoning.

We insist that you cite primary sources because systemic lack of rigour is how "nutrition science" is such a mess in the first place.

This article is literally written by an industry lobbyist. This paper is one of the reasons the state of nutrition science is terrible. The amount of money pumped in to provide P hacked results is substantial and one has to consider the source when evaluating what's being said.

I agree, but I don't think the article is really about the Atlantic's commitment to creating meaningful change. I think it hits on something important though, which is that those who were most ardently combatting climate change have now pivoted to other political topics or backslid on their commitments.

Climate change is as important as ever but a lot of people on the ground and those in power can't seem to give a shit.

I would encourage you to read the quote from this very article, in this very thread, in which a meat industry lobbyist says fiber is one of the elements of your diet that provide an undoubtible health benefit.

Snyder needs someone to tell him a movie should have both character development and a cohesive plot in at most 2 hrs.

I'm done with him deferring blame for not being able to put together a clean narrative.

Pick one.

The investigation, published in a multi-part series in 2022, revealed for the first time how former Gov. Phil Bryant used his office to steer the spending of millions of federal welfare dollars — money intended to help the state’s poorest residents — to benefit his family and friends, including NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre

The journalist who reports on corruption will be in jail and not those who actually did it.

Ultimately, there’s no reason the strategies of voting and direct action can’t both be applied together. One does not cancel the other out.

It's like you didn't even look at your own pamphlet. It backs up his exact statement.

They're campists; they can't understand any level of moral complexity.

Anyone who opposes the US is inherently good, because surely the west is the only one that can be imperialistic.

Implicitly conflates christianity and the American government

This meme is accidentally telling on itself.

Bold assumption that this child isn't being home"schooled".

Feral horses are a problem in the American plains and west with one of the issues being the fact their carcasses will attract grizzlies or black bears which can then encroach on humans. Hiking out, digging a massive pit, and then burying a horse really isn't an option so they blow them up to increase the speed of decomposition.

They also degrade and destroy native grassland and the whole problem could be easily solved with a cull of the herds, but some dipshit-wanabe-cowboys are obsessed with "saving" "wild" horses so now the federal government has to spend over a $100 million on horse contraception to keep the population vaguely in check.

TDLR: We blow up a bunch of horses corpses every year because of a politically connected nonprofit.

Its worse than that.

While those working at private companies can at least earn a little money, they face possible punishment if they refuse, from being denied family visits to being sent to higher-security prisons, which are so dangerous that the federal government filed a lawsuit four years ago that remains pending, calling the treatment of prisoners unconstitutional.

The point of an armorer on set is that they ensure that the guns aren't dangerous. The typical rules about "don't aim at something you don't want to destroy" doesn't apply in a movie because otherwise all the action sequences would look dumb with people firing wildly at the ground. How stupid would it look if John Wick shoots at the floor and blood spurts out of the guys face.

That said, anyone who hires a scab armorer gets what they pay for and deserve to be prosecuted.

I was going to say the same. Funny it gets written off today as a hoax when tons of people had to fix slews of bugs. It could've been bad, but fortunately the worst I heard about was some people getting stuck in some elevators.

Thats obviously from mastodon, not twitter.

Saying that Biden needs to be replaced is not the same as saying don't vote for whoever is the Democratic candidate. I've been screaming into the void telling people to vote on Lemmy and even I think he needs to be switched out. The post debate polling is that damning.

If the dems shove it down our throats I'm still voting for him, but there's still a narrow window to get a better candidate and we should take it.

The US wasn't conducting a genocidal war in Afghanistan. The Russian government is explicitly attempting to erase Ukraine as an entity and anyone who calls themselves Ukrainian with it.

I think a lot of these points have been made better elsewhere.

The extended discussion of hypothetical US interference just because of a tenuous chain of connection to the CIA is just typical US-badism. The US frequently funds tools which they think further geopolitical goals and this doesn't inherently mean its untrustworthy, just that their methodology of control is more resilient to uncensored speech; the best example of this is TOR, decentralized, anonymous, and created by Naval Research and DARPA. The author can't concede this point as it'd bring up they're unsubtly simping for a different colonial power, one who does require such censorship.

Signal's centralized nature has always been a major criticism (and it's reasonable), however as a trade off it's easy to on-board the tech illiterate. It's nontrivial to set up a Matrix server and I've seen the difficulty of migrating activist groups there. It's good as a long term goal, but one also has to recognize that a person struggling with housing has different concerns and will prefer to use whatever their friends and family do.

What's far more likely than 3d printed prosthetics becoming fashonable is people just rolling over and accepting the distopian surveilance state.

I can't even get most of my family to use Signal to prevent Facebook from reading their private messages, what could happen to convince them to go full cyberpunk?

Idk man, theres not too much debate on who to vote for. There's a clear lesser evil and theres an avowed fascist. The quoted paragraph just reaffirms what his one sentence says, that voting isn't sufficient.

I like the pamphet. I think it hits most everything important. If you only vote and the entirety of your efforts are spent on electoralism and not direct action, its a lot if wasted time. But if you cant even take 20 mins to vote every 2 years, or worse you're advocating people who aren't fascist sit it out, you need to rethink what you're doing.
