We eat more than enough protein. What we lack is roughage. We’re all in on that ultra processed white bread and corn chip stuff with lots of pasta. The main foods we need to eat more of remains as it always has: vegetables and to a lesser extent unprocessed fruits. We also should shift how we consume starches to healthier variants like baked potatoes. But seriously, it’s fiber, we don’t eat enough fiber

The report number is very important. Cops want to brush off stuff that involves protecting people in my experience, buy having evidence of all this is vital if he starts stalking or something like that. He’s unlikely to escalate directly to shooting, but he is at risk of escalation

Yeah you pick it up fairly quickly if you play any conducted music. Especially because a lot of the gestures make a lot of sense. The beats are a pattern with beats to them and the common signatures you get a feel for. But like it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that if the conductor is doing a rising motion at your section you should be playing louder and if it’s increasingly frantic you should be increasingly loud until the hands either come together in a beat (loud finishing note) or they’re separated in a way that will either signal to hold or to fade, or they’ll just start doing a lowering motion to tell you to start piping down. It’s all meant to be very intuitive

It’s more than that. It’s a feedback loop. Having distance from the consequences of your actions encourages sociopathic behavior. Power such as wealth is the easiest way to create that distance, even if you don’t want to

It’s more like Italy forming a Mediterranean league called the Roman Alliance. Or the US forming the American Union with Canada and Mexico.

I’m not saying the other countries should just take it or leave it, just thst outsiders shouldn’t assume they’ll be mad at the name

That quote at the end sounds about right from what I’ve heard. Iran was a liberal and free nation in living memory. The morality police and theocratic rules are not thought highly of.

CBS hasn’t completely lost its credibility on all issues yet, but it’s definitely lost a lot and is rapidly losing it. It was bought out by a right wing billionaire specifically to exert editorial control and the current head of their news was a right wing activist before this position

That said, I do believe their reporting on the violence against protesters in Iran. It’s wholly within the behavior we’ve seen escalating over the past decade

If they look to their polar neighbors they can find some. Alaskan natives still maintain a lot of traditional lands outside places white people want, I know some Yupik folks who grew up in their village. They also were brutally colonized, it was horrible and evil what we did to them, but they’re still here, and part of starting to do right by them is to acknowledge it.

There’s also the Navajo Nation and the Haudenosaunee Confederacy who maintain enough size that recognition of these nations is something people really ought to be considering. You’ve also got native folks in the pacific northwest and most states (36/50) still have at least one reservation.

I totally understand what you meant, but one of the forms of anti indigenous behavior is to pretend they aren’t still around, still oppressed, and still relevant. ICE has been attacking Native Americans in the past year.

It’s named after the country the modern nation of Colombia is named after

This is lemmy, everyone is always wrong

Absolutely. They’re also stoked by the behaviors of the Iranian government

We don’t even pretend we won in Vietnam.

I feel bad for non-nonce andrews about it, but fuck is it funny

I enjoy theology and discuss it somewhat regularly with my wife who also is an ex catholic non Christian that likes discussing catholic theology. To me it’s like philosophy but more aspirational, distant, and constrained. It also provides a framework to process religious trauma, express frustration with bad Christians, and to process our feelings as people oppressed by Christiandom.

I say this to provide context, so that when I say I can’t fucking stand those people it’s not that I’m not comfortable hearing about religion or that I just hate it. I actually quite love it, and part of me is sad that who I am and my religion (paganism) block me from having more access to it. But Christians who are like that are rarely tolerant of things like religious differences (I sometimes got called a devil worshipper by protestants for being catholic growing up), lifestyle differences, and people who aren’t like that.

I also find that they are often religiously incurious. They find the solution that works for them, and stick with it, which I can’t judge, but when they study it they don’t ask about why other Christians think differently, they don’t apply the rigor that Jews and Catholics cherish, and they rarely bother learning about other religions either.

But then we get to the primary issue I have, I’m not Christian, and Christianity is regularly used as a tool to oppress me. I’m not interested in returning to it, and I’m frustrated at how much cultural and political power it has in my society.

Well yeah he fucks children and was famously anti black since the 80s, he’s also a massive misogynist.

Yeah I hope they get a strong and independent free and secular republic out of this.
