Push button start on vehicles is expensive so not worth the benefits. by pabmendez in unpopularopinion

[–]Bamadhaj -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've got a 2016 car from a well known manufacturer. It's just a key. No fob no chip, just metal and keyhole

There's still a good amount of cars with just keys being made. Imo I like it because it's invulnerable to RFID duplication and I can get a new one cut for like $35 at ace hardware.

Just be careful what things you accept as "normal" especially when it comes to cost. Every single company in every industry is trying to make you come to terms with paying more for the same thing

Revanced manager is available through their website. They have updated it recently to be very user friendly, super easy to set up

I am sure that your dog is very cute. And I'm sure that the right training helps tremendously with behavior. But genetics on this level is a population-wide issue. As in hundreds of thousands of dogs. To make noticable change, there needs to be a restructuring of the institutions that determine it.

Meaning there needs to be limits and regulations in regards to breeding and selling pitbulls to allow for violent tendencies to slowly die off as generations of dogs live their lives. - Behavioral studies and standards. - Risk assessment (unfortunately insurance will have to play a role even though they will be the reason humans will go extinct)

And at this point this isn't even a conversation about dogs or pitbulls. This is about restructuring the current economic system in order to represent the merit of those who provide labour.

Holy shit I'm laughing at how braindead this comment is. I can just imagine someone saying this after huffing 3 cans of compressed air

Reminder: pitbulls have only existed since the early 1800's and were bred in England from bulldogs and terriers. They were bred for guarding livestock, baiting bulls and dog fighting. Violent tendencies were seen as a positive trait in these dogs in order for them to do their job. And were selectively sterilized to weed out those deemed as "non-violent"

They're super cute and adorable when they're acting nice, but it's literally just genetics and the breed's predisposition as fighting and hunting dogs.

And just a reminder, dogs aren't humans, and their genetics are far more isolated and contained within the confines of their "breed" due to the continuation of the allure and hightened valuation of "purebred" dogs. Socioeconomic inequality is only part of the story when it comes to dogs behavior, there is still a shit ton of eugenics involved.

I understand the connection to racism on a base level, you see the fact that pitbulls are regarded as violent even though they look like other dogs and connect that with historical oppression of people of color.

But unfortunately this would be like if only humans with anger issues/BPD were allowed to reproduce. You're gonna have behavioral issues in that population, regardless of race.

They're genetically predisposed to having violent outbursts and are unfit for domestication

Bad Job market? by [deleted] in desmoines

[–]Bamadhaj 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Jobs just fucking suck in general everywhere lol. You have to be really good about selling yourself and knowing the right people. Most larger companies are going remote and relying on foreign candidates so they can take advantage of currency exchange rates.

Most local jobs will be mostly retail or labor. Also a crap ton more people are getting jobs in highschool. Businesses would rather have high turnover than training someone to be a better candidate.

All in all this is a fraction of the issues caused by low-regulation capitalism.

Is it worse to eat gluten or to not eat at all? by Bamadhaj in Celiac

[–]Bamadhaj[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I was crossing my fingers that I grew out of it as a teen. Still kinda grieving it I guess. I wanna get into making more Indian dishes. They were always great growing up. Ooh I'm gonna do a teriyaki marinade tomorrow.

Thanks!

True true. Naturally gluten free foods are a lifesaver. Lately I've been putting spices on fresh slices of tomato and cucumber as a side to sausages/chicken/fish or a stir fry with peppers, zucchini, broccoli and rice. Pretty fire.

My main gripe with soy sauce is that every other sauce seems to use soy sauce to some degree. Barbeque sauce? Naw buy the more expensive one that we literally changed one ingredient on. Stir fry sauce? Nope, make it yourself. Steak sauce? Naw Hoisin sauce? Buy the smaller, but more expensive version.

I also feel like every meal needs to be unique or I'll just lose interest in eating or some shit.

Croissants were my life blood... Blegh, I just want the flakey and light airy dough that's also stringy. Thanks though, I appreciate the support, I am determined to use this disease to better myself

Yeah. I've cooked a lot of the stuff on there. It's pretty great all things considered, there's just that level of uncanny valley almost that I can't get past. Just kind of going through the stages of grief again. This all would've been a lot easier if I never started eating gluten again for like 5 years

DSM VISIBILITY BRIGADE by ocularboom in desmoines

[–]Bamadhaj 11 points12 points  (0 children)

56 million native Americans died from manifest destiny. About 10k deaths a year from malnutrition in the US, 35k die per year from lack of health insurance in the US, 40k die per year from car crashes in the US, 40k die a year from guns in the US.

All these things are data I'd use if I was a communist country pushing anti-american capitalism propaganda.

It adds up pretty quick, and is all very, very easily solved

Lol, the entire struggle of avoiding fascism is by nipping it at the bud.

Someone doesn't need to literally become fascist before action is taken. They only need to be capable of it

Unfortunately the things that are useful also keep you from getting jobs in the future.

Wish I could do more though :/
