What’s the Gen Z pride flag look like?

It’s not worth engaging with AI responses.

Don’t you think it’s much easier to leverage an ephemeral resource like coal or oil? What you frame as China acquiring leverage is better framed as a loss of leverage by the titans of oil. Time is going to cause that leverage to be lost eventually anyway, so maybe we should be planning for that? Or maybe we should let the people interested in short term gain draft the policy and complain that China is eating our cake.

The cider might be the problem.

This reminds me of an article in a mainstream newspaper I read about BYD, that claimed beating China might be more important than winning the war on climate change. Can’t we be happy about technological progress, no matter where it comes from? Nationalism is regressive.

I don’t like the focus on the culling of male chicks, sure it’s terrible, but how we raise and exploit the hens is such a larger moral travesty that that should be the focus. We also shouldn’t hope for hens to live for a decade. Currently existing hens who can be rescued sure, but the modern egg laying hen should not exist the same way certain dog breeds shouldn’t exist, we have selected them for our pleasure rather than their own health and livelihood.

Our police can shoot us dead and people in most of the country will look the other way because law and order, especially if you’re not white. America has been fascist for a long time, it didn’t suddenly start under Trump.

Look at the BLM protests, they were huge, but the sentiment of half of the country was against them and there were many who fantasized about police or vigilantes making the streets run with blood. And in the end the thugs with badges are still well funded and well armed.

You’re making the same mistake as many Americans themselves do and confusing Democrats in general and the left. I didn’t think leftists were the ones who kicked Bernie to the curb. The left in America is very small but they do protest, do mutual aid, and form unions. You could argue they aren’t doing enough and when things get bad enough it’s time for terrorism, but that’s big talk when you are sitting behind a computer.

My previous two phones were from OP and they were both great. I was tempted to get the OP13, mostly because of the battery, just couldn’t justify spending that much on a smartphone at the moment when I already have one that works.

No, in fact I feel like I could be immortal and still never reach that point.

Nice try Sam Alt alt.

The narrative here is so ignorant. What does not having highly invasive anti cheat have to do with these kinds of exploits? If anything having those kinds of anti cheat would create a bigger vulnerability.

It doesn’t make sense to target canola oil due to a study using safflower oil, safflower oil has almost no omega-3s while canola has lots. I think we should use less refined fats in our cooking, but for what we do use I think canola is one of the better options.

This is not a proper dichotomy as organic isn’t about level of processing, it deals with farming conditions and species.

Also processing a spectrum. For example a smoothie and juice are both processed fruit but the smoothie has everything that the whole foods have in it while the juice is missing some of the nutrients, notably the fiber. If you then add refined sugar to that juice to make it more palatable that is further processing, and if you reduce that juice to a jelly that is further processing, with each of these processing stages you are making the food more calorically dense. Processing can also make a food easier to eat or improve the nutrition though, processing isn’t inherently a good or bad thing but it very often is one of those.

My point was that the wealthiest people have most of their wealth in assets that are protected from inflation.

A jock isn’t a “male prep” though, a jock is a specific type of male prep and male preps are just preps.

Somebody is going to want to fuck the lamp.

Printing more money and using it for public works or giving it directly to the poor could be a valid form of wealth redistribution that doesn’t require collecting taxes. The problem of course is capital, it’s immune to this kind of inflation, though rich people who have their wealth in debt would be hurt.

The reason progressive liberals believe that people to the left of them are actually the right wing is because they imagine they are as far left as you can be, and by left they mean right (correct).
