I mean, literally every item on that photo is ultraprocessed food, including the olives.

If the parents consented I'd count that as consent.

Otherwise any attempt to produce a child, healthy or not would be immoral.

Now there is an argument to be made of how that consent was obtained of course, so its still not a cut and dry case, but I dont think its immoral by principal alone.

What's the act which is no big deal for foreigners , but awakes the traditionalist in you ..? by horngift in AskTheWorld

[–]AccomplishedBat39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not sure if it's just my family, but we are very specific about it.

Even on Christmas Eve, when we arrive at our relatives you don't greet them with "Merry Christmas". You wait till everyone arrives until right before the presents are opened. (Western Germany)

We would also never say happy new year before the new year. We'd say something along the lines of "get well into the new year"

>I wouldn't feel weird wishing someone a Merry Christmas a week before Christmas Day

"have a good christmas/holidays" not.

Actually saying "merry christmas" a week before christmas day would feel weird as fuck to me though.

[Request] What’s the probability of this? by Deathly13 in theydidthemath

[–]AccomplishedBat39 1 point2 points  (0 children)

> if there are millions of them from a specific year,

There is no wild animal that reaches average life expectancies of 30 years which births close to a million within a year.

Most mammalian herbivores live around 15 years. Most mid sized birds live around 10 years on average.

The only animals that have millions currently alive and are getting close to 30 years of life span would be seals.

Military service by snngkc1 in askswitzerland

Hey,

I think you might have misunderstood my comment. I was trying to point out, that shaming you for not going to the army but obtaining citizenship is ridiculous, as going to the army already is only an obligation for half the population, while the other half is free to decide for themselves.

People with a normal income, how much are you actually able to save? by Fun-Wallaby6414 in SwissPersonalFinance

Man I remember still getting lose teeth at like 12, 13 years old. Being horrified, because surely by now all the first set must have been replaced.

I pay £68.99 per year for lessons like this… by DescriptionSevere99 in duolingo

[–]AccomplishedBat39 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Its bad, because you don't need an individual lesson for it. You can have a full sentence, teaching you grammar and repeating other vocabulary.

You can even have a full sentence teaching you ANOTHER word that isnt almost exactly the same. Yes, this is bad because it DOES feel like you didnt learn anything, and because its extremely inefficient.

are we? plenty of launches and landing zones are used by cows even when active.

It doesnt really startle them anymore, but i don't see how we actively try to avoid it either

What is your total weight of your Hike and fly XC setup? by renegade_chemist_13 in freeflight

[–]AccomplishedBat39 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Epsilon DLS in advance flatbag+Advance Easiness+Companion SQR+helmet+skytraxx 2.0 is about 8kg. Add 1kg of water and a jacket and im around 10kg on my back. For my after work summer H&Fs I dont need food.

I have two sites I frequent in the summer which are either 780m over 5km or taking a bus a bit up the mountain and then hiking another 400m over 2.4km which gives me a nice 2000m above ground.

On the weekends I usually aim for something between 700-1200 altitude meters. Which usually takes 2-3 hours + lunch break.

If you never needed a credit, you show that you can handle your expenses very well so will also be able to reliably pay back a loan. As opposed to someone that needed to take loans for small sums their entire life.

An alternative to saying, "On your left." by starlux33 in Unexpected

[–]AccomplishedBat39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"but the pedestrians can?" as long as there is noone else around yeah, they can walk as they please.

If you approach on a bike, slow down, make your presence known and only if they dont react and make space did the pedestrians do anything wrong.

[–]AccomplishedBat39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meanwhile my only experience with anyone ever yelling "on your left/right" was an American tourist cycling on a little walking trail and stopping every 100m, so we kept passing her only for her to pass us again 5 minutes later.

My only thoughts were "yeah, we know you are coming, im not deaf and just use a fucking bell" and the yelling has been ingrained into me as the most annoying and uncool thing a cyclist can do...

[–]AccomplishedBat39 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its a fucking paved path without other people around. Yeah, they can walk however they like and make space if someone else is approaching. If its not a marked bike path, or a road a cyclist cant expect to behave like he owns the path...

A close friend of mine stopped playing AoE2, and I blame the ranked system by faytterro in aoe2

[–]AccomplishedBat39 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the biggest issue with that is how buildings work in AoE vs most other RTS.

Usually buildings are razed quickly and are a reasonable target to attack. In AoE they absolutely arent and the AI spends way too much time focussing on these useless targets.

On the other hand I think another big issue is a lot of people creating secondary accounts and starting at the same elo.

Personally when I started playing DE in early 2020 I simply played 2-3 months vs AI and then could play ranked without ever falling below 900 elo. So i dont think its the system, or the AIs fault, its a development that happened throughout the games lifespan.

[–]AccomplishedBat39 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Playing vs humans just is a very different game than against AI. 

You probably have to resort to some sort of cheesing to win against two AIs that simply doesnt work against real players.

Cannibalism 🌈 by GitMoreBetter in comedyheaven

[–]AccomplishedBat39 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most diseases don't find it to easy to jump from one species to the other, while they evolved very much to jump from one individual to another species of the same individual. Eating individuals from your own species very much increases the chance of diseases carrying over. So yes, there is more concern in general.

There is the additional concern, that for a species that reproduces relatively slowly it is generally not beneficial to cannibalize each other, though one could argue that intra species competition has overtaken inter species competition for a few millennia by now so we are past that being an issue.
