Fat, sugar, and salt are also “nutritious,” insomuch as they are components needed for survival. Too nutritious is probably a better way of looking at it. It’s a meaningless buzzword.

Nestle, PepsiCo, Unilever, and maybe others (they used the term “including”)

Nestle was the only company to comment, saying how they planned to increase their sales of more nutritious food. Always gonna spin it to fit whatever narrative they want to sell to their consumers and shareholders.

Nobody on the left votes for her so the far right wins again. Real galaxy brain move there.

Europe needs to step up on Ukraine. NATO is out of the picture, the EU needs to stand in its place.

Hah, got me there.

I did actually meet a North Korean once when I spent a fair bit of time in Seoul during a study abroad program, but she “defected” as a child (read: smuggled into the South via China by some Christian group) and didn’t really have much recollection of what life in the North was even like. Definitely not many though!

I know a good number of North Koreans would love to defect if there weren’t going to be consequences for their families back home. Put those people in a situation where they can just disappear and have it explained as being honorably slain in combat? Seems like a golden opportunity if the country they defect to doesn’t just send them back.

Demographic groups aren’t monolithic, for what it’s worth. There is definitely a large pro-Israel contingent of Jewish Americans, too. Not that they deserve to be pandered to, but just that no one is able to represent an entire demographic.

Depends on where Clarence Thomas wants to go on vacation next, I think.

It’s just incentive for developed nations to produce more automated weapons of war.

My gut had me wanting to say the same thing, but looking at the age ranges, this actually seems reasonable and in line with how many other countries operate. By 6 years old, students in the US are in first grade, for example. Kindergarten a year or two prior as well, which is also compulsory in some states.

I’d assume that any news that is to the right of “left of center” doesn’t get much visibility on Lemmy. Maybe Lemmygrad or Exploding Heads are a different story, but I figure they’d sooner ban the bot in far-right communities than let it highlight biases.

In Chinese it’s literally just the “South Sea” (南海), so I am not even sure who first stuck “China” on the name. I am guessing probably explorers from other countries who couldn’t just call it the “South Sea” because it’s only south of one particular place.

I honestly thought the article thumbnail was a picture of Texas until I saw the longer European-style license plate.

If you’re using an app, it presumably does not properly format the spoiler text. Most of the text is hidden until expanded under normal circumstances.

Wouldn’t help in that case, though. The ICC still has yet to issue a warrant because they’re cowards. All that’s happened is that one’s been requested, and is taking it’s good sweet time being “considered” while Gazans are dying. If he was turned over to the ICC right now, they’d just shrug their shoulders and let him go back about his business.

Got it, you get the final say, then.

How does any of this apply to you?

You ever have a bad day as a teenager, and then you go to eat lunch in a high school cafeteria, but when you’re grabbing plastic utensils someone makes a comment like “Woah better hide the knives from Stovetop before he cuts his stomach open”?

It ain’t great, is all I can say. Especially when you’re not even Japanese, because everyone apparently just lumps all Asians together in a monoethnic mass.

Say whatever about corporate assholes who fuck up and get people killed. Like if you want them to die, fine. But racial stereotyping hurts everyone, whether it be jokingly or pointedly.

No no, I would still like to know what makes harakiri the “usual Japanese way” in this context.

So just so we’re on the same page, that is the “usual” way that Japanese people today accept responsibility for their actions? Or specifically the Japanese samurai in question who own this particular firm?
