Glad to see the reddit tradition of just commenting without reading any of the source material is going strong /s

But for real my dude. You got a problem with chemicals in your meat? How bout those crazy steroids and antibiotics they pump your chickens/cows full of so that they don't die of disease before maturation/slaughter? What about all the chemicals in the low quality feed they give the animals? Or the processing to increase shelf life?

The beauty of this technology is that it avoids all those problems as well as their chemical solutions. It uses mitosis, aka the same naturally occurring process all cells use, to grow meat in an isolated environment that disease cannot thrive. Meanwhile we can use genetic modification to improve the quality of the protein. The end result will be healthier, more sustainable and have a significantly longer shelf life.

And this technology is only going to improve.

Dunno lol

But one way or another the fedverse is going to be funded by its users/instance-admins.

I think the awards got out of hand on reddit... but having 1-5 on lemmy would be a fun way to incentivize donations.

Plus I do think the sort by gilded was useful in combination with viewing just the comments of a sub/com.

I used to do security at some shelters and the local Ministry for Social Development offices (Welfare office). Through those experiences I learned that there is a big, big difference between calling someone homeless/addict or saying "experiencing homelessness/addiction"

The title says it the correct way, the opening paragraph does not. That being said, "unhoused" doesn't colloquially imply homeless and could be misconstrued as people being evicted. Regardless, after reading the article I don't think the author intended to degrade people with their wording.

Anecdotally, I think we do a disservice to the people directly suffering from homelessness/addiction/mental health by misdirecting our frustrations towards the journalists increasing awareness of the problem.

Similarly, I think we do disservice to a lot of victimized and marginalized people by continually 'improving' the language surrounding specific issues and subsequently attacking people -who are engaging the topic in good faith- for not adopting the prescribed nomenclature fast enough.

Neither is being biased a sin. It's when your bias allows you to ignore facts that people stop taking you seriously.

That's not really how this kind of community works though. I think you are in the minority as far as your engagement style cuz I personally never subbed to ELI5/etc despite commenting regularly.

The way I engaged ELI5/NSQ/OOL/ETC was via all/rising. If a question came up that interested me or I knew the answer to than I'd engage. From there if there wasn't already lots of comments or a top answer I might give my 2 cents.

Communities like this function more like a staple in that people know they're the correct place to ask certain types of questions. In the short term what we need is people to upvote questions (and for lemmy.world to successfully update so we get some proper sorting options) so they get visibility and as answers flow in people will ask more questions.

Dude's a walking spoiler but damn can he act!

It's a leftover from Christian tradition.

1 Corintians 11: 4 - 7 4 Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head. 5 But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is the same as having her head shaved. 6 For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head. 7 A man ought not to cover his head,[b] since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. 8

Fuuuuuuck... Imagine if chat GPT started amending its results with.. "EDIT: wElL tHiS bLeW uP oVeRnIgHt... tHaNkS fOr ThE gOlD kInD ReDdiToR"

That'd be so damn annoying haha

We need nationalized electric railways and buses. Cars don't need to disappear in order to increase access to better options. Governments need to stop lining the pockets of the automotive and oil industries by forcing us to rely on them.

Is that why you're aggressively removing comments that don't conform to your opinions? Everyone see's through conservative's fake "debate us" talking point. Ya'll run the hell away from every single argument that you can't strawman or whatabout.

Have fun getting your reality check. Outside Reddit/Twitter the majority of people don't agree with you.
