Yeah everyone talked about how their arm hurt but I kind of underestimated how much that was going to suck.

Yeah, I can't reasonably lift my elbow above my shoulder.

Yeah, thankfully after that part it's all upside because you get access to the giant.

Get a friend who you can summon over and over again for him to just bumrush the nerd on the right.

Not gonna watch the clip, but does he even try to make an actual argument?

Not particularly, it's just sort of a vague rant against masks in general, and then goes "you know what? If you see someone forcing their kid to wear a mask, call the police, call CPS".

In contrast they put out videos describing how they want to reduce to consumption of meat, replacing it with insects and plant based mimicries.

If you want to reduce something, you can either make viable alternatives, or find other ways to reduce the effects of that thing.

Insects suck as a foodsource, nobody wants to eat them. The plant stuff is fine, but it tastes like boring beef, and has three times as much salt.

There isn't anything wrong with the inherently to want to stop something from fucking up your world. Unless you think climate change isn't an issue, or that methane doesn't matter, I suppose.

If you want to thicken your soup, just add some flour and cook it out, normally it takes like 30 minutes so add it early in it.

What's next, people drinking plant based beer?

Saffron?

If you're throwing saffron in your chicken soup, I don't know what the fuck y'all are doing with your money.

Anyway, this is the best veggie soup I've ever made:

Dumb name, great soup.

So, what exactly are you trying to get out of it?
Do you want a filling soup, a flavorful soup, a quality vegetable soup, or what's up?

right, sooo... let's just not bother with that and deal with people on a case by case basis?

An overall statistic on how different populations are doing is a useful device to figure out which groups need aid and how to apply that aid.

It's just BMI sucks as that tool and should be replaced.

In the comic there was a rape scene as a plot point.
Nah, I'm good.

if the original stem cells used to create the meat came from an animal then they're probably not going to eat it. If it's truly synthetic and made completely from scratch (not sure if this is even possible now) it's not really "meat", so they probably could eat it.

Well, the thing is, some people have drawn the line at "not a single animal killed/hurt".
Some have drawn at "it's for health reasons".

Everyone has a different reason for becoming a vegetarian, and this is just a pretty fair question to ask.

Zeus posted...

What does BMI have to do with the healthcare system, for that matter? It wasn't created by a healthcare professional, nor does it have much basis in health.

It matters because they use it as an index for health, so the fact that it's a bad system directly effects everyone.

Clench281 posted...

For every person where BMI is a poor indicator, there's 25 people where it does the job perfectly well

Hey, you do science, is a 3.8% failure rate of a system good or bad?

The way I have always understood it, is that most of the modern "mythology" surrounding angels and demons in Christianity, comes from other works and not the bible.

Yup yup, a lot of culture surrounding Christianity comes from noncanonical sources. Which is fine, it's just not a good reference to go "well in the bible they say X", because 9/10 times it's either quoting a few lines, or just not... actually there.

ParanoidObsessive posted...

I was mostly thinking of the Book of Enoch, though to be fair upon a double-check it's excluded from the Tanakh, so I was wrong there.

Woooooo, shoot'n airhorns off in the air, ber ber beeeeeeeeeer.

Yeah, the Book of Enoch gets into some wildass shit, the Third book especially, like God only having so much rain, and naming each individual wind that God has blown.

ParanoidObsessive posted...

That being said, Jews in general never really bought into the Satan as Adversary narrative most Christians buy into. But that never really stopped them from having demons or fallen angels.

Oh yeah, a whole bunch of modern views on Judiasm is a lot of "AND THAT RIGHT THERE IS WHERE THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT CHRIST, SEE", it's kinda sad.

ParanoidObsessive posted...

It's okay because in the official handbook of sexuality, species trumps gender/sex.
It's similar to how it's not gay if you fuck an alien. Or an elf.

No, a dude fucking an elf dude is gay.

ParanoidObsessive posted...

It does if you count the Tanakh or the Apocrypha.

Here's the view of satan from Tanakh:

Judaism does not view Satan with the same connotation as other religions.
Satan in Judaism is not a physical being ruling the underworld, rather, in the Torah, the word Satan indicates accuser, hinderer or tempter. Satan is therefore more an illusory obstacle in ones way - such as temptation and evil doings - keeping one from completing the responsibilities of tikkun olam (fixing the world). Satan is the evil inclination to veer off the path of righteousness and faithfulness in God.
Throughout the Torah, Satan challenges God to test the true loyalty of his followers, including Adam and Eve, as well as Abraham. However, Satan remains inferior to God and is incapable of taking action on mortals without Gods permission. In the Talmud and Midrash, Satan appears as the force in the world, responsible for all sins. Some Midrashim claim that the sounding of the Shofar on Rosh Hashanah is utilized to keep Satan away as Jews begin to atone for their sins. Even the morning after Yom Kippur, many Jews attend services to guarantee Satan does not make one last effort to instigate Jews to commit sins.

Certainly not the war of the angels where God cast down Satan/Morningstar/Whatever for being jealous of the attention of God focusing on humans rather than his perfect beings.

And the apocrypha is a whole other series of beasts, which is why the specific canonicity comes in play.

Over a large population it's probably a fine approximation, but there are obviously individuals for which it's not appropriate.

Is it? I'm not sure, and likely you don't know either.

What does Amazon have to do with the healthcare system?
They order healthcare for their workers from it, I imagine, but they aren't providing it.

My fav question is still to vegetarians: would you eat cultured meat?
For the most part they so no, but it's still interesting.

Chaos_Echo posted...

Uh, Lutheranism in my case.

Then you may need to reread some stuff, because that doesn't talk about angels rebelling from god.

Clench281 posted...

I'm gay and I eat meat

:O

Chaos_Echo posted...

Well, biblically, demons are angels, just the ones who rebelled. As far as we're aware, there were no actual changes to them, so same results.

Which canonicity of the bible are you following? The Bible isn't a monolithic document, different groups use different books.

Idk. I only had water and one big ass glass of apple juice at the end of the night, does apple
juice have caffeine in it? I legitimately dont know

No.

The most reasonable sources of caffeine are:

1. Coffee.
2. Tea.
3. Pop/Soda/Coke/Whatever.
4. Hot Chocolate.

Juice ain't got caffeine, you can just check the ingredients.

Anyway, you may need to sip some broth if you start to get a headache, make sure to stay hydrated and keep your salt intake going.

Ya no, if you're doing an honest to god fast, you don't want to even think about food, just work on other stuff and don't go in the kitchen if you can.

Where are ya getting the salt that your body needs?

Also, with or without a source of caffeine?

Ah, yeah that works, cool thanks. I just wasn't sure there was a strong link

Why would you ruin the beef like that Mead. :(

It's ground beef bro, they already fucked up the point of wagyu beef when they chopped it up.

It's still just beef, you can use it how you want. It's got extra fat content, but you can already pick that by just getting, like 80% beef, or whatever.

Also, wagyu beef from australia?

For the record, SWAT is a civilian outfit, while the Marines are military.

Daaaaamn, that's pretty good.

Pedantically, repairs and maintenance on them will deplete non-renewable resources, but that is a pretty negligible effect (a lot of which can be negated by recycling the broken parts).

To be honest, hydropower seems like a bad path to go down. They actually don't generate that much power, and they do a decent amount of damage to the ecosystem.

Obviously if a damn is needed, hey hydropower is great to tack on. But I don't think it's great to go looking at places looking for more hydropower, it's not ideal.

Zeus posted...

Because it's not a renewable energy? >_>

With breeder reactors it can be renewable, or as close as anyone cares.

It's not a fully explored system yet.

Imagine if it actually warped time, and eventually we found a way to make a chamber to catch them, but you actually catch ones sent from the future, allowing you to send messages back in time. You would literally need to use mores code for that to work lol. Sending a stream of such partciles spaced out to create a message, 1 particle for short and 2 for long. Maybe they already have something like that and we just don't know about it.

Sure, if my grandmother had wheels, she would be a bike.

wolfy42 posted...

To describe how it can travel faster than the speed of light just look up particles that travel faster than the speed of light, in theory you could use them to send a message through mores code.

Yeah the problem is that you can't actually read those, because they go faster than light, and shit breaks down.

It's why we don't get more nuclear power plants. Don't hurt your back on those goalposts lol

I'm saying that argument is dumb, people get stuff they don't want in their backyard all the time.
People also complain that windmills are loud, but they're still going up.

Blightzkrieg posted...

It's not ignored, it gets talked about all the time by nerds who want to ignore the political realities of the idea.

Everybody wants a nuclear power plant, nobody wants a nuclear power plant near them. That's not even getting into the storage of nuclear waste which is a whole separate unresolved issue.

Until there's a shift in public opinion nothing will happen. Given how selfishly people acted in 2020, I'm not holding my breath. If you can't convince people to vaccinate against a deadly infection you're not going to convince them to live near a nuclear waste storage facility.

You're right, that's why we never get more dumps, more coal plants, more slaughterhouses, or anything else that smells bad or is dangerous to the public.

A big issue with making more nuclear is that you are expecting 20 years of the system running to make a profit.
That's just not good enough for a lot of places.
