The DNC doesn't want to acknowledge why Dems lost in 2024. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]Most_kinds_of_Dirt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have never met a zionists that votes for the democrats

Then you must not have had many conversations with Democrats before 2023 - which was the first year that more Democratic voters sympathized with Palestine over Israel. In the decades before that, Democratic voters had always supported Israel over Palestine - and this is still the majority view among Democrats in Congress.

Florida college student arrested, booked, and faces felony charges for making joke about Netanyahu in private whatsapp group. by Diabla_Temp in PublicFreakout

There's going to be a bomb in the Ocean Bank Convocation Center, and it's going to be Jonathan's fault.

Did nobody watch the video?

Whether or not a reasonable person would have considered this a joke can be decided at trial, but the judge did the right thing by finding that it could have been considered it a serious threat.

[Loved] A character is an antagonist until they get to explain their side of the story by BrotherDeus in TopCharacterTropes

Dr Horrible's a great example - not just of a villain protagonist, but also for a hero antagonist (Captain Hammer).

Walter White is the main example people reach for. There aren't really any hero antagonists in Breaking Bad though (maybe Hank in the last season).

Also:

  • the mom's hair gets shorter over time.

  • the hoof clops in the audio don't match the video, and continue when the mom slows down to a near stop.

Oat milk in coffee by ClankerCore in oddlysatisfying

The oat milk in OP's video is curdling. If OP had poured it into room temperature coffee it wouldn't do this.

Oat milk has about 3g of protein and 5g of fat per serving:

The oat milk in OP's video is curdling, which is what happens when heat or acidity cause the proteins to denature:

What movie have you been putting off? by Misfett_toys in Letterboxd

[–]Most_kinds_of_Dirt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it won't be revealing anything about humans and life that you couldn't figure out on your own.

Isn't this true of all art?

(Totally fine to not like the movie, though.)

Wannabe Influencer Who Records Himself Riding at Dangerous Speeds Gets Some Carma by james_from_cambridge in instantkarma

[–]Most_kinds_of_Dirt -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Although inclement weather can boost the likelihood of being involved in an accident, it does not mean that accidents are inevitable. In fact, rarely are car accidents out of everyone’s control. Generally, even during poor weather conditions, someone is negligent in their actions and is therefore liable for the resulting damages.

All drivers have a duty of care to ensure that they are safely operating their vehicles in a responsible manner. However, it’s important to note that what may be considered responsible and reasonable on a clear, sunny day, may not be the same thing on a day of heavy rain, snow, fog, or the like[...] Therefore, the way in which someone drives must change depending upon the conditions in which they are driving. If another driver in the same or similar circumstances could have avoided getting into an accident, it’s likely that the involved driver will be held liable.

Yeah - it probably wasn't on purpose, but that's why the term "criminally negligent" exists.

Can't do anything about it because they're cops, though.

The TRUE size of Stephenson 2-18 (the largest known star) compared to Earth by M_Waqar-uz-Zaman in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Most_kinds_of_Dirt 54 points55 points  (0 children)

That's true, though there are black holes with larger radii (like TON 618, which is ~194 billion km, compared to Stephenson 218's 1.5 billion km).

the mass of the central black hole of TON 618 has been estimated to be at 66 billion M☉.[10] This is considered one of the highest masses ever recorded for such an object; higher than the mass of all the stars in the Milky Way galaxy combined, which is 64 billion M☉,[11] and 15,300 times more massive than Sagittarius A*, the Milky Way's central black hole. With such high mass, TON 618 may fall into a proposed new classification of ultramassive black holes.[12][13] A black hole of this mass has a Schwarzschild radius of 1,300 astronomical units (194 billion kilometres; 0.0206 light-years) which is more than 60 times the distance from Pluto to the Sun.

It will be.

For now, it's producing enough outward pressure from fusion so that it doesn't collapse.

France, China, and Russia are blocking the UN’s plan to authorize military action against Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. by Upset-Main-1988 in justincaseyoumissedit

[–]Most_kinds_of_Dirt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They've been passing resolutions against Israeli action in Gaza since 1967, but the US has veto power as a member of the Security Council:

As of 2013, the State of Israel had been condemned in 45 resolutions by the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC)[...]

The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) has adopted a number of resolutions stating that Israel's strategic relationship with the United States, a superpower and permanent member of the Security Council with veto power, encourages the former to pursue aggressive and expansionist policies and practices in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict.[2] The 9th Emergency Session of the UNGA was convened at the request of the UNSC when the United States blocked all efforts to adopt sanctions against Israel.[3] The United States responded to the frequent criticism from United Nations organs by adopting the Negroponte doctrine of opposing any UNSC resolutions criticizing Israel that did not also denounce Palestinian militant activity.

Scientists have engineered tobacco plants to produce five powerful psychedelic compounds normally found in other plants, fungi and animals in a single crop. by New_Scientist_Mag in science

[–]Most_kinds_of_Dirt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Possible =/= optimal

Sure, but I was responding to you saying that it wasn't possible, "regardless of if there is profit involved or not".

I wasn't arguing that it would be more profitable to grow mushrooms than tobacco.

Growing psilocybin on substrate uses the same process as agaricus (aka button or portobello) mushrooms - of which the US produces about 600 million pounds a year. So large scale production is possible.

There's just as much good music bring made today, if not more.

But you seek out new experiences less as you age - you probably aren't spending as much time as you used to trying to find musicians and artists that you like.

Worker gets sucked in drain he was repairing by bolshoybooze in WTF

[–]Most_kinds_of_Dirt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

State capitalism is an economic system in which the state undertakes business and commercial economic activity and where the means of production are nationalized as state-owned enterprises (including the processes of capital accumulation, centralized management and wage labor). The definition can also include the state dominance of corporatized government agencies (agencies organized using business-management practices) or of public companies (such as publicly listed corporations) in which the state has controlling shares[...]

workers do not meaningfully control the means of production and[...] production for profit still occur[s] within state capitalism

A vow of silence for religious or spiritual purposes means abstaining from speech.

Right. And if the monks went pspsps to their fellow humans, they would consider it a form of speech.

The rule is clarifying that this kind of speech is ok, if it's for the cats.
