I want to ascend up the social ladder to the point that my crimes get passive voiced.

Any tips?

This isn't unique, hence ag gag laws. Go vegan, it's actually really easy.

So I had a stickybeak at their questions and holy shit they're so bad. Such naked propaganda and also hilariously wrong.

If minorities sat by and patiently explained their needs to the majority we'd be fucked hahahahahaha.

Also apparently the gov does aid because their weird lizard people in Parliament's hearts bleed rivers of gold at the suffering of the people they constantly stir racism up against.

Lets be real though, propaganda aside it's actually disasterous that people are failing to understand how power is wielded in Australia. If the overwhelming arm of USA propaganda replaces an understanding of how our government works with how theirs doesn't we will perform into being a broken 2 party system nobody trusts.

Say what you will about Parliament (and indeed I will rant till your fucking ears bleed if you let me) but we have the benefit of an extremely robust and effective civil service which does a lot of unnoticed good. It's far from perfect but we need a citizenry that understands how things work and why if essential crap is to remain unmolested by creepy potato shaped facists and their ilk. People need to know how to engage with power, where to put the screws to, who controls what and what legal options there are for wielding influence.

Alternative title: Around half of all Australians are brainwashed ghouls 😬

Almost a third supported deporting asylum seekers to their country of origin, regardless of the risk of persecution or violence, while 42% opposed it somewhat or strongly.

The polling also showed voters felt strongly about punitive measures for those in immigration detention, with 50% backing powers to conduct more invasive searches compared with 22% against the measure.

The control group supported offshore detention at 51% while 24% opposed. Support dropped marginally to 49% and 50% after messages against offshore detention, while the group exposed to pro-offshore detention increased to 57% support.

😬😬😬

Um it did not take the entire world, for a lot of their early success most of the fighting was against countries that were unprepared and devastated after ww1.

Lots of things can look similar from some perspective while being nothing alike. All of stage magic rests on this. Conversely many things which look very different can serve the same purpose. Human eyes and a digital camera will both form images through extremely different mechanisms.

We don't know how it is that consciousness arises. It could be extremely widespread and you could be the only conscious being in all of time. You cannot prove that I am conscious and I cannot prove that you are.

That said, most people think brains are involved given that messing with them (either chemically or physically) causes people to report changes in consciousness. Of course we just have to take at their word that the humans reporting this are conscious ;). Brains, even non human brains, to a staggering amount of stuff and are amazingly complex; there are around 100 billion neurons and 100 trillion connections in a human brain and despite sharing names NN 'neurons' are much simpler machines than wetware ones.

It could be that statistical inference of next token in language is the or at least one of the systems that causes consciousness to arise but we would just be guessing. Many people tend to privilege behaviours we feel other animals don't share as indicators of consciousness for extremely shakey reasons and so a machine that emits stuff which looks like human language is spooky.

tldr: worry about the other stuff on this earth that has way more in common with how you work than a computer before you worry about a computer. But maybe worry about computers too, nobody knows. Still if you think a computer is more likely to be conscious at this stage than say a mouse you are probably deeply confused.

And the work nobody shows lol

From this book: https://theeburgerdude.com/cookbook/

I am not very good at deep frying, and made some mistakes. Probably I could do these in my oven pretty well. Magnificent spicing to the batter, never paying for overpriced and bland nuggets again.

In that it was an effort by horrible people to degrade the human condition with no respect for the harm caused along the way sure.

Lmfao how the hell do we have the cult of musk sniffing in Australian politics?

Seitanic rituals (vegantheoryclub.org)
submitted 5 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Doing 3 (one offscreen) different approaches to chickeny seitan. This is using vital wheat gluten vs washing.

One is just gluten and water, wrapped into spirals Chinese style.

One is braided, adding some ACV based on this washed recipe. The gluten seems underdeveloped here, it should be smooth. I think I need to be careful mixing it instead of just a quick stir.

And one is just the seitan part of this 'tender' recipe which I'll taste a small bit of before battering for other experiments.

Previously I've noted that washed flour tastes fine but VWG tastes bitter. Alledgedly ACV improves? Spirals will test without ACV but with washing/soaking.

Will update in a couple of days with results.

Letting it build to 2 kg is kinda ridiculous though.

No added sugar in this one, just some dates for sweetness.

I thought this article was interesting, in that I am immediately suspicious of the motives of some of people quoted. The conclusion runs counter to what I want to be true, and I'm curious what other people make of it.

Also men: Do you actually feel attacked? I'm not sure I've ever seen someone criticised for like being strong and capable, or a good carpenter, or a protective dad or whatever. Is this a real thing? or just something that is used as cover like the traditional values vs violent misogyny terminology.

P.S. Thinking there are hordes of ravenous cancellers waiting in the wings is extremely funny to me. Not exactly beating the allegations that listening to Jo Rogan damages your perception of reality.

Not a hexbear but:

VTC had problems with lemmy.world

Their size and ethos mean that users are very poorly moderated, and basically all users that would come to vtc to stir shit were identified with .world accounts.

The admins are also very hostile to vegans.

He also went full reactionary sexist and homophobe. Plus bombed random people like a guy selling computers.

I really dislike the way he's venerated by some. There are actual revolutionaries with cohesive ideologies that properly critique society and direct anger at systemic problems. This guy was just mad things were changing.

Personally I find it pretty neat that as megafauna we are host to entire little ecosystems. It's a calming thought to imagine yourself like some large tree, home to little families of various creatures, bacterial and fungal colonies growing on you. We are thoroughly integrated into the ecosystems in which we live.

They're not harmful, they're just living their mitey little life.

Sigh. There's so much actually interesting in piecing together the past. Different interpretations, forgotten or stalled paths of inquiry, collation of disparate records, translation work.

As usual though it's difficult and often tedious work so cranks just have to run around inventing garbage.

The actual history of agriculture is nuanced and extensive. Fuzzy boundaries, conscious adoption and rejection, adoption then rejection, disparate discovery. Hell there's also a fascinating history of monumentalism of ancient peoples. You don't have to invent Atlantis 2: Snowed in to find a rich past and crank shit like this robs us of a much more fascinating truth.

When white people (even white people that white people who love obsessing about being white loathe) do state sponsored monte Carlo terrorism against the brown people they call terrorists:

When the brown people do terrorism to the white people who do terrorism to them:

It must be really hard keeping yourself knotted enough to support Israeli state crimes while hating the people who do smaller scale stuff back.

Programmers hate everything. You could design a spec which serenades you with angel song and feeds you chocolate dipped grapes and someone would be like: This is awful, my usecase is being a dog.

I'm not sorry for causing this.

Also holy fuck if someone says "obligate carnivore" to me one more fucking time I am going to reach through the screen and suffocate them by stuffing a head of cauliflower down their throats.

Anyway, one reading of this TOS update bans discussions of meat eating as it advocates immanent harm and is an unhealthy diet.

[-] [email protected] 50 points 10 months ago

It's quite simple. One die can shape many blanks but each time a workpiece goes through a die it is drawn down and loses some mass.

Repeated cold working also tends to embrittle the workpiece, so without extensive annealing (foreplay) a penis will become brittle and snap off.

Oh look. Liberals aligning with facists over paying taxes. Waow. I am so shocked.
