Just out of curiosity, what are the ramifications?

I had a period of time 15 years ago where I was eating about 1000-1500 calories a day for months because I was so busy I’d just forget to eat.

Life is getting to the point where I’m forgetting to eat on weekends again and I’m contemplating just following suit during the week to drop some poundage.

I know if the weight loss is TOO fast there’s a heart component, but is there anything else to worry about?

That’s actually a phrase translated into every language that has a phrases page on omniglot, which cracks me up consistently.

Ah!

I will not buy this TOBACCONISTS!

IT is scratched!

would say that Morton is not at all deranged in creating this especially considering I’ve got a container of it sitting on my spice rack right now.

It has an additional use, too.

The non-“salt” ingredient here, potassium chloride, is the “harder to find” ingredient in a simple four ingredient rehydration solution.

The other ingredients are sodium chloride, sugar, and water.

So equal parts this and sugar in a glass of water and you’ve got yourself the world health organization’s answer to dehydration.

It is, to a degree.

She’s no billy strings.

I legit wasn’t sure if this was a real thing she did that started as a friendly joke or something.

Actually, I’m still not sure.

The BEHAVIOR of a very small subset of vegans unfortunately causes a small but ridiculously vocal subset of non-vegans to tar all vegans with the same brush.

Since volume equals truth for a not insignificant number of people in the Internet, far too many people don’t stop to separate behavior choices from professed beliefs and that’s how we get where we are now, I unfortunately.

The world would be a better place if people stopped automatically associating and assuming causation and instead treated bad behavior as just that.

Skibidi.

Toilet.

Well, that should be reassuring to those who need it, then. The wound was neither fatal nor healed.

Not that a candidate bearing multiple points of uncanny RESEMBLANCE to what the Bible says the Church should WATCH OUT FOR in the personage of the antichrist so that they don’t accidentally end up following him because they were among the deceived has managed to stop many of them so far, but hey, if it avoids water like a duck with late stage rabies, we should put it on the lifeguard stand.

My point is if we down vote with the assumption that a post is from a bot, instead of engaging in good faith with a person who likely has reasons, no matter how misguided, for believing what they do, then we are actually doing the work of our enemies for them

You know what? You’re absolutely right about this.

It is too easy to fall into “sounds like a bot, must be a bot” as a mode of operation when it may just be an actual person poking out of an echo chamber for a minute to see what things are like elsewhere. Instantly shutting them down is probably part of WHY there’s so much “the leftists are an echo chamber” rhetoric being advanced in right-leaning circles…because that’s what that would look like if you were on the receiving end of a downvote for doing nothing more than saying what YOU think is the truth, especially if it’s all you’ve heard and still think noone’s lying to you.

I not quite in a spot where I think I can equate downvotes with censorship, possibly because I don’t fully understand how lemmy treats them in comparison to reddit, but I will definitely be much more careful with mine.

Thank You.

If any of y’all catch a whiff of criticism, you start screaming “bot” and slamming down votes

And that’s not awesome, but…

What’s a more productive way to deal with the very real, very extant, very anti-community onslaught of bots and psyop style political manipulators invading lemmy like it’s facebook in 2015?

Refuting those bots with fact-checking is all well and good as a form of actual political activism but at what point does giving bad actors who outnumber those with a desire to do good and promote honest discussion become futile? Bots don’t tire, mods do.

I want a better solution, too, but when the comments start sounding like bot propoganda, I think it’s okay to downvote.

I think you mis-spelled “biased”.

:)

Me too!

I thought it said “Grimes” and it was making a joke about how ugly and comical the cybertruck looks.

Oops.

LOL

My understanding is that the “re-imagining” is due to the timeline.

Vivec City in ESO is 700+ years before Vivec City in Morrowind, for example.

I think it was the original meaning when it was brand new and still very niche.

Part of me wonders if it made it onto one of those “Parents! Know these abbreviations!” memes where they purposely list the acronyms incorrectly (LOL–Lots of Love) and then got more popular that way.

Elder scrolls online set a major expansion there.

95%+ of the content in the whole game can be done solo if you don’t like the second M in MMO.

Back twenty years ago when I first started seeing “SMH” it was “So. Much. Hate.”

As in “I really dislike that.”

As in “So, everybody unanimously said they want sheet cake for office birthdays and management decided to double down on the day old donuts again anyway? So Much Hate.”
