Make sense that a good automod would be needed. I wonder how prioritized that is for Lemmy and piefed. I assume a lot of the devs are mods as well.

What could a forum such as Lemmy do to make moderating better / easier for both NSFW and queer content? Would there need to be special tools or processes? Or would it be cultural?

While I see lots of suggestions for trash food (which I love while high) there's something to be said about something wholesome and homey. It works best when prepared ahead of time. My favorite are soup with fancy bread, a hearty pasta, tater tot hot dish and pot pie. I think we're doing a pot pie for tonight. Get it ready and then get high while heating up. Perfect

Altered doesn't have to mean destruction. A human touched ecosystem can be different but doesn't have to be a monoculture. There are a huge number of human specific plants, most of which we call weeds now, that only exist around people that can provide food and medicine to us. Looking at how modern permaculture farming works there's a huge amount of diversity within their food forests which are directly human touched while leaving more wild sections. These wild sections are more native specific and their value is acknowledged instead of called wasted space. Humans are part of an ecosystem so we alter it but don't have to destroy it

While I agree that people are fundamentally the same the cultural values can alter their behavior. A culture that says Human are separate and above nature who should submit to it's will acts differently than one who thinks humans are the youngest sibling to plants and animals who have lots to teach us. So by understanding cultural values, mindsets and techniques we can alter how we interact with the rest of the world.

Except the fact we have lots of evidence that native population (which also includes pre-industrial European culture) built sustainable systems which includes altering the environment. Throughout North America there tons of evidence of the use of fire was used. The classic prairie environment of the Oak Savana is only possible through burns and supports a large buffalo population. There's tons of evidence of strategic cultivation of trees and other plants within the Amazon rainforest that allow people to get food and medicine close by that to the untrained eye looks identical to the rest of the forest.

That being said some of those same people them destroy the same forest via slash and burn agriculture in order to earn a living for cash crops and more traditional agriculture. So profits is a main driver

I already seen lots of recommendations for the Food Lab which I love. My favorite and the one that made me love cooking is Salt Fat Acid Heat. It's both specific recipes and general cooking advice

If you measure the weight of a glass of water and then freeze that same glass the weight will not change. The volume will increase but the mass will be static which accounts for the decrease in density

That and the current Democratic chairman Ken Martin ran the MN DFL for years. So lots of reasons to make up hate

Everyone was more excited about the Walz part of the Harris / Walz ticket. So of course they want to talk shit about us.

Also we have the longest steak of voting for a Democrat in a presidential election. Every other state is just jealous. MN is the best

I tried this brand but didn't love it. Might be the bottle but didn't foam enough and was thin. If there's other that are better I would love to know
