There's a lot more to read about it than Wikipedia. The animal sourcing is unreliable too, those farm animals don't make it, they get it from being outside and eating from the soil and drinking from various natural water sources. That doesn't apply to most animal-based food products as those come from factory farms, which is why they supplement, usually as multivitamins. Those who aren't eating a plant-based diet are essentially consuming second-hand supplements, along with second-hand amino-acids, second-hand lipids, second-hand calories. And B12 deficiency is pretty big in many human populations, especially among older adults. Everyone should be supplementing, really. You should stop making it sound like it's difficult or disgusting, it isn't.

Yes. Just avoid voting for yourself, it's rude.

I'm certainly trying to deprecate this connection to Lemmy.world.

Radio Ecoshock 2019-03-13

We are living in a time of mass extinction of species large and small. How serious is that? What are the rules of extinction? Two scientists, Italian and Australian, investigated. Their study published November 2018 in Nature contains unpleasant surprises.

Our guest is Dr. Corey Bradshaw. He is the Matthew Flinders Fellow in Global Ecology, at Flinders University in South Australia. Corey has published at least 300 papers and three books. His latest is “The Effective Scientist: A Handy Guide to a Successful Academic Career”.

Emerging from the Americas and now appearing in Europe, the Philippines, Nigeria and South Africa, today’s narco-evangelists share an increasingly popular strand of Christianity: Pentecostalism. It’s the fastest-growing religion in the world, already with around 650 million followers. A branch of evangelical Protestantism, in recent decades Pentecostalism has become the faith of the world’s poor. In large part, this is because of its particular focus on the Holy Spirit’s role in health and wealth, but there is also the significant lure of the faith’s deep authenticity, rooted in local cultures. Much of this is due to the fact that there is little in the way of authority structures and pastoral oversight. Not only is there no Pentecostal pope, but all you really need to be a preacher is followers.

It wasn't unique, it wasn't a "one off". The unique framing appeals to conservatives as it feeds into exceptionalism and impunity. "We're special!" It's those people who only care about stuff when it happens to them. Same as with abortions and "The only moral abortion is my abortion".

Fundamentally, this is evidence of the failure to generalize learning (what learning is for), a grand failure of intelligence.

Caption:

spoiler


It's a simple 3 panel web comic. There are 2 characters which are also simple. As the artist name suggests... a circle with nose, ears, eyes, mouth, and some tiny legs.

Character 1 says: "Vaccines are the deadliest poison!"

Character 2 says: "Didn't you say that, by September, everyone who got the vax will be dead?"

Character 1: "Yes, AND?"

Character 2: "I've waited for my death for three Septembers."

Character 1: has an angry, upset and silent expression.

It's still not earning you money to spend electricity because you still have to pay the transfer fee which is around 6 cents / kWh but it's pretty damn cheap nevertheless, mostly because of the excess in wind energy.

Last winter because of a mistake it dropped down to negative 50 cents / kWh for few hours, averaging negative 20 cents for the entire day. People were literally earning money by spending electricity. Some were running electric heaters outside in the middle of the winter.

If you don't want to be hated, don't murder whales. It's very easy, literally most people do it.

Plastering agricultural land with parking lots and suburban sprawl is a crime against humanity. This wasteful land use needs to end.

Thanks to social media, youth unemployment, an uptick in asylum seekers, ballooning energy prices and oodles of nationalist right-wing cash, Macron is no longer the only politician with the regal ability to play Jupiter on TV. There are now a record 4,005 candidates running in the first round, with many fabled divinities to choose from.

There's your problem. Defund the rich.
