I’m not sure what you’re referring to re: name-calling tbh, and I think this thread is an overreaction, but I agree with you that non-private communities have some obligation to civility or something like that

For the record, I think you contribute a lot to Lemmy, and I really appreciate it. OP’s being melodramatic because blocking a community chock full of content they’d rather not see on their personalized feed (and isn’t hateful, illegal, etc.) isn’t good enough for them. I guess they also need to troll and police different perspectives and how many posts they comprise on this great fedi platform. That’s good for Lemmy /s. Someone should post a PSA about blocking communities that don’t break rules but just aren’t one’s cup of tea. The behaviour helps Lemmy grow and stay diverse. For similar reasons, lemmynsfw (ie, the main porn/adult instance) removed downvotes: because minority communities (eg, rarer kinks) were being downvoted into oblivion - stifling growth and frustrating community members and mods - by people downvoting stuff they didn’t like on their feed versus blocking it

I don’t think it’s intended to provoke non-vegan people, I think it’s meant to be a ‘for us, by us’ community. PSA to all: there’s a block community button for communities that are not hateful or illegal (you should report those) but are things you’d prefer not to see on your personalized feeds

I saw a white walker mobility device by a road in Toronto today, to mark where someone with a walker would have been struck by a car and killed. I’ve seen multiple white bikes before but not a walker

Thanks for spreading the word about this. I wasn’t aware. What an unfortunate development. I’ve never encountered mandatory FR in Canada, thank goodness

Bless the EU

Thanks for getting the word out about this, Beaver! With this and the pro-Zionist so-called ‘media bias fact check’, LW is turning to shit. I strongly dislike the anonymity of the actioning mod in the mod log. Can you name the PoS who decided to abuse their power to attack a vegan community? I’m not a fan of the theoryclub due to experiences with one mod, but I’ll be on the ML and solarpunk vegan communities!

Rewind button. How pleasantly nostalgic. Now there’s one button to rule them all! lol

For me, the being a mother of three and that being mentioned just has descriptive value. It doesn’t affect my judgement of her. It just helps me place who did this in the context of society and this anecdote, for whatever that matters - haters/bigots come in all shapes and sizes of course

Thank you for that! I love Tobias and Michael in scenes together. I think I might do an AD rewatch, of the first 3 seasons anyway

Thank you! I updated the post title to TENTATIVELY FIXED. Your comment suggested to me that I was probably safe having a go with cleaning the socket myself (versus seeking out some mini vacuum). I used a toothpick-like tool - it was a poker to get a phone sim card deck to pop out. Using the tool and gravity I got a very small amount of lint out. This has notably improved the issue; I only experienced it once afterwards versus multiple times. But I’d like to test it out some more when I have more time, hence the tentative. Thanks again!!

Great suggestion, thank you!

There’s got to be a better way of saying that. I love Tobias, and Michael, and Arrested Development

Thanks for all the useful info!! I might look into a USB headphone adapter

What’s that awful smell? It’s pro-Trump bullshit on lemmy.ca

The NYT has lost all credibility to report anything on this conflict that is not Israeli government propaganda

Legumes are wonderful! I used canned chickpeas, black beans, and canellini beans; I use dried lentils. I rinse them all and soak none. This is anecdotal, but I’ve never heard someone on a plant-based diet say they feel bloated or gas-y

Are tubers a nutritional group or just a plant group? I find fruit (sweet, vitamins), vegetables (vitamins, fibre), grains (meal bulk, protein), and legumes (protein) useful nutritional groupings, but I don’t distinguish between vegetables and tubers - that’s the gist of my question. Soybeans are an odd omission, although I realize their 5-6-item lists at the top aren’t comprehensive

I hear you. The minimization/exclusion of oils in a whole-food plant-based (WFPB) diet is not something that all WFPB people agree with. The author of Forks Over Knives is known for it though

This certainly mirrors what I’ve seen on the ground. In the last 10 years, predatory publishers and publication mills went from known issues to the new normal. And yet despite how easy it is to publish, interest in reproducibility seems at an all-time low. It’s jarring, and I’m kind of making a career change out of research as a result, because what I do as a lowly assistant is essentially engineering results and marketing as opposed to anything having to do with discovery or science. I interpret it as capitalism’s going to capitalism.

This has resulted in a 47% growth between 2016 and 2022 in the global number of published papers (Hanson, et.al. 2023). Moreover, we should expect a further spurt of growth following the widespread advent of large language models in late 2022. During the 2016-2022 period there was little net increase in the number of PhD students globally or in the funding of science, both indicators of science activity. Increased paper productivity implies either that scientists became suddenly much more creative over the period, or had spent more time writing, and therefore reviewing papers: an increase in paper productivity but a decrease in scientific productivity.
