For me it was down for several days. Now it seems usable so far (I manage to post a thread and a comment at least). Upvotes seem to be working as well

Interesting and related: Noam Chomsky, in his work as linguist, has stated that what reaches the ear (or the eye in this case) is not what reaches the mind. What this means is that we experience language as if it was linearly ordered, when at the cognitive level (in the mind) language is actually hierarchically organized. This means that the underlying structure of language has to interface with the sensory-motoe systems in order to transform the hierarchical structure into a linear one. This is why we sometimes also struggle putting our thoughts into words, because in that interface there is a change in structure that doesn't always preserve the 'original' (hierarchical) structure

Hi! Back in reddit there was a DID community. Is there something equivalent in the fediverse? I'm not a system myself but I know a few and I am doing some research on the topic, so I'd be really appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction

I thought I read the title wrong. Good for them

Am Chilean. Can confirm

Same here. I used to shave my head and face but recently I went through a period of over-work and didn't have time to shave. Everyone told me I looked better with hair and beard, including the wife. So hair and beard it is then

Agreed!

Aaaah ok ye now I get it.

I guess ultimately the end process is what's important, there I agree with you. However, with ethical issues, or matters of principle, you could argue time is of the essence.

For example, if the Western world had taken 30 more years in embracing the importance of LGTBIQ+ rights, we would be now at the same place as the likes of Russia or Saudi Arabia, which is a place we feel good about not being.

So in a way yes, the end result is what matters, but in the meantime it does kinda sucks to live in a society that normalizes something that will undoubtedly be considered morally wrong and unethical in the future

What is an extreme is relative. Are we in an extreme because we don't tolerate slavery? Is having only one slave less extreme then? In the current context I guess you can see veganism as one end of the spectrum, but calling it an extreme has the connotation that it is an unreasonable position.

We can have meat consumption without the industrialized part, sure. But ethical veganism claims eating animals is wrong, regardless of how you kill them. Just like we now consider slavery to be wrong, regardless of how good the slave is treated.

Some people will take the fast, but hard way. Some people will take the longer/ but easy. If you end up in same destination, it’s a win in the end.

I guess you meant to say fast but easy, or longer but hard, right?

Maybe the random community would be appropriate too

I agree with you. I guess the difference lies in that I would call that laziness. Not knowing how to eat balanced meals (or more precisely, not looking it up), it's not a matter of it being hard or easy. It's a matter of simply doing it. All the information is out there and at a level anyone who can read will understand

Plenty of eateries don’t have vegan options

Maybe you are thinking of processed vegan food, like a vegan nugget or hamburger. That is completely unnecessary. beans, lentils, chickpeas, seaweed, grains, rice, vegetables, nuts.... those are widely available and enough for a healthy diet.

For the rest I agree, it's easier to convince an omnivore to go vegetarian than vegan. But that has to do with their will, not with actual physical limitations.

The word easier here is a choice. What is more comfortable is easier, but eating a plant based diet is very easy. It's cheaper and widely available in most countries. What you mean by easier really refers to more comfortable, not really to there being less physical obstacles

From the source:

Titan is the only object other than Earth where liquid hydrocarbon lakes and seas have actually been found (by Cassini) in its polar regions – in abundance in the north polar region and at least one of approximately 20,000 km2, called Ontario Lacus, on its south pole. Just recently, there have also been long-standing methane lakes, or puddles, in Titan’s “tropics” discovered.

thanks!

Ah ye, I can relate the the effects. Thanks

Alright now I wanna know why squinting doesn't allow to see details but I'm getting one step closer to understanding it. Thanks

Ok It it's AI generated but I want to know what's happening at the cognitive level. This is unlike other multistable images I've seen before. Can someone explain how this works brain-wise?

AH is fucking expensive but I often find myself buying there because of all the good vegan products they have. Kudos to them

This isn't creepy, it's interesting and cool

Here the man explained his motives:

Since I seem to be the only one not getting this, I'm gonna ask: Can someone explain?

I read somewhere that Galileo really struggled convincing his patrons go finance such experiments. Science wasn't concerned with fundamental questions about how the world works until very recently

I still listen to mp3 and flacs (younger folks who still know what that means think I'm crazy) so this is actually really cool. Might try it soon

Thanks for sharing!

Congratulations! This is what I aspire with my daughter. She's 4 now and eats mostly raw veggies. It's hard to get het to eat warm food at all. But we're making slow progress. We live in a country with access to lots of cousines so I hope she'll be as open minded to different foods as I am now

I agree, it's one of the things I dislike about the fediverse (I'm on Kbin)

Amazing. Thanks for sharing <3

This ^^

It has a single origin. Sayayin culture. Remember Vegeta was a sayayin, and he and his friends introduced that type of armor when they landed on earth for the first time.

Yes I was intrigued by the topic and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the video and its content. Thanks for sharing OP!

I think the point is that it's the same (type of) computation or process over and over.

Yeah I agree. I guess it's up to us to change that. But it takes courage to do so

Talen veranderen. Dat is normaal, en gebeurt het door invloed van andere talen. Zo is Latijn verandert tot Spaans, Italiaans, etc.
Ik ben nu Nederlander geworden door naturalisatie en in herken wat je zegt niet. Niet alle brieven van de Gemeente zijn in het Engels beschikbaar. Als je integreren wilt, moet je sowieso Nederlands kunnen praten. Bijvoorbeeld om een betrokken ouder te zijn als je kinderen in school heeft. Om te kunnen praten met de mensen van de winkel of de markt, om met je buren dingen te kunnen afspreken, etc. Volgens mij ben je geïrriteerd door het Engels, en je ziet Engels overal, maar dat is wat mij betreft een biased overzicht.

I think it's the niche communities that are more actively moderated, while the large ones (the ones that were big on Reddit and were taken in the early day of the migration by users who saw an opportunity to mod a big community) were abandoned to their luck)

The synth and the LSD. I'll dilute the LSD in water, give it to a while crowd and jam on the synth, becoming the either a music legend, a messiah, or both
