Even brands like log cabin who claim to use “no high fructose corn syrup” are just corn syrup and sugar. There are people who go their entire lives eating pancake syrup and table syrup on their pancakes, and die never having tasted actual maple syrup.
I’m assuming you’re asking in good faith. I found this type of question to be especially controversial due to the legislation against gender-affirming care, especially puberty blockers. In researching further:
As others have stated, cases where permanent gender-affirming care was given, such as HRT (hormone therapy) and GRS (genital reconfiguration surgery), instances of regret are incredibly rare, and almost always predicated by lack of support for the individual. They are far outnumbered by instances of trans people undergoing puberty incompatible with their gender, which is itself damaging and irreversible.
The type of care discussed in this article, GnRH (puberty blockers), has been shown to not have long term consequences, and is only used to delay puberty and the potential long term effects, giving them enough time to make an informed decision about their transition. From the Mayo Clinic:
GnRH analogues don’t cause permanent physical changes. Instead, they pause puberty. That offers a chance to explore gender identity. It also gives youth and their families time to plan for the psychological, medical, developmental, social and legal issues that may lie ahead…
When a person stops taking GnRH analogues, puberty starts again.
An even greater portion is distributed as animal feed. In fact, 1/3 of crop production is fed to livestock at about a 10:1 calorie conversion. The land and resources exist, it’s just a matter of people realizing that animal products aren’t a necessity for much of the world. I also don’t recall anyone saying this change would have to occur immediately, it would obviously be a gradual transition.
Hell yeah bro. The only reason those chickens get to live a grueling two months inside a hot, windowless shed caked in filth, barely able to stand because they’ve been bred to grow so large is because of us humans. You’re welcome chickens.
Of fucking course they do. Why else would they shitcan 5% of their employees. I’d be shocked if Epic, Sony and Microsoft aren’t doing the exact same thing: fire your creative employees and replace them with a LLM that can churn out Gaming Content that’s easy to monetize. Goodbye original game ideas and hello live service cash grabs.
Aww man, why is the answer always “practice”? /s
I really wish all of these companies racing to replace their existing software features and employees with LLMs understood this. So many applications are dependent on a response being 100% accurate for a very specific request as opposed to being 80% accurate for a wide variety of requests. “Based on training data, here’s what a response to your input might look like” is pretty good for conversational language and image generation, but it sucks for anything requiring computation or expertise. Worst of all, it’s so confidently wrong about things I might as well be back on Reddit.
I’d vote for you
“I wanna make a medical choice about my own body…”
The Right: “Ummm…hold on now…”
“And skip my vaccinations!”
The Right: “Oh! You scared me for a second! Carry on then.”
K-pop agencies are reportedly keen to promote their stars as romantically obtainable, while in Japan many pop stars have “no dating” clauses in their contracts.
Wouldn’t being banned from dating make you the opposite of “romantically obtainable”?
I have a Visible plan (Verizon network, which works best in my area). Unlimited data and it’s a flat $30/mo. Did Google Fi and Xfinity Mobile before this and Visible is the one I like the best.
Had to do a little digging, but it appears there is! Haven’t tried it yet, but the comments seem very positive. https://merv.news/post/644180
I used to use an addon that would replace YouTube comments with the Reddit comments if the video had been posted there at some point. It was better, but not by much.
You blend them in cold water then strain (don’t squeeze) them through a cheesecloth or nut milk bag.
Ordered a print and got it professionally framed because I love this comic so much. Used to hang it above where we feed our dog.
He doesn’t owe us anything, but I wish he would at least be honest and say, “hey y’all, sorry but I’m not really interested in these books anymore”.
Oatly is an ok brand, but their product is oily garbage that pales in comparison to many other plant based milks, especially homemade.
It’s also the worst type of wrong: the type that has the potential to seriously harm people. Hopefully they retract it instead of continuing to double down.
