Regardless of your political views... The fact you can watch civilians being blown up and be like "justice" is pretty raw dude. I think you need to have a think about how you relate to the world... and other humans.

I disagree with that statement generally, but anyway, you can't catch cancer. You can catch a disease that causes cancer, but eating cancer itself wouldn't give you cancer. You can however catch prion disease... And these can live in real flesh/meat you get from a shop.

Also, there will be ground up cancer in processed meat. I guarantee it. You don't think farm animals get cancer?

It's almost as if we should be spending our time working to mitigate climate change and helping build societal resilience instead of working on meaningless careers....

Yes, it has infected plenty of mammals. It has caused mass die offs in aquatic mamals in South America and has spread through a mink farm in Europe. But no, it does not appear to have adapted to transmit more easily between humans yet.

Has it improved health or reduced obesity, though? That's kind of the interesting thing, here. What has happened to overall calorie consumption?

This article is from 2019 and argues against the methods laid out in research article published at the same time. It does not provide adequate evidence to support your claim that thid is a myth. I Will do some more research later today, but this author writes for a think tank. I'd advise some due dillignece before reading this guys material. Forbes is also right leaning so will have some level of bias here.

That happened to me. I got COVID pre-vaccine, and for years after that I got every bug going, including multiple COVID infections. After time this seems to have passed. I have now gone one year without COVID, which is a miracle. I feel like my first infection buggered up my immune system. I think I have finally recovered now. I wish you the best of luck.

Wonderful news. I just updated and it's working again. YouTube is so far down the enshittification tunnel that it's only a matter of time until something like this gets rolled out again. I really want Peertube to be the one, but there's just not that many people using it. I've done away with reddit and Twitter and now much prefer Lemmy and Mastadon, but YouTube is harder to kick.

What about a community called something like "Keep it Running" within which we can compare items we've kept running for as long as possible. My laptop is about to make its tenth birthday without any hardware updates (thanks Linux Lite).

Very true. Some of us can afford to live with a bit less and recalibrate their life towards improving things. Not all can, though, of course.

I reccomend reading Ultra-Processed People by Chris Van Tulleken. It explains how modern food is designed to be over consumed. Mind blowing book.

Class war has been on since 1979.

Is this not an insane tripping hazard?

It has, over the past few years, adapted to spread from birds to mammals more effectively, but so far does not seem to be transmitted from one mammal to another more easily. The fear with finding large numbers of herbivores (who don't eat dead birds) positive is, I suppose, that this could signify further genetic changes. Not saying this is definately the case, but it is still an important development and it's good that people are taking this seriously. Furthermore, humans have a lot more contact with farm animals than wild predators, so zoonosis is probably more likely to occur from one of these animals than like... a sea lion.

Just to be clear, I'm not saying we should panic - the fact the animals are not too sick is good to hear - we just don't want to be caught with our trousers down (again).

Well, Germany wasn't subject to shock therapy in the way that Russia was due to West Germany becoming a capitalist democracy way before neoliberlism was a thing. The USSR collapsed decades later, at a time when the USA was spreading weird economic policies in the most rabid way possible. It was "capitalism at any cost". And the cost could be democracy... and all social fabric. It was shock therapy that largely led to the oligarchs.

Listen, fuck Putin. I fully stand behind Ukraine, but US policy created Putin's opening through shock therapy. The idea that this is just because Russians are inherently violent is absurd.

Fucking hate spelling Nazis on Lemmy. As a dyslexic person, it makes me slightly hate commenting.

Yeah, I agree, they appear to me to be people integrity. It's not really a trust issue, I just like to know what the practices are so I can adjust my own practices accordingly.

You're right there. thanks again for the input.

Thanks so much. Will try tonight. Very much appreciate your time and consideration.

I don't know why you're getting downvoted. There's a lot in your comment. We badly need to mitigate, but we also need to put a lot of our resources into ensuring we survive as a species. A lot of money is needed in the global south, particularly (who have, on large, barely contributed to this problem).
