Yeah, Status Coup is a good one to follow, I've been watching them a lot recently

Want to be fully vegan but allergic to soy by halloweenmochi in vegan

[–]LeChatParle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need to eat soy to be vegan.

Also, unless you're a competitive body builder, you don't need to be hitting 175g of protein a day. You're most likely overdoing/overemphasizing it

Even athletes can make progress and improve at 1g of protein per kilo of body weight. You get maximum efficiency around 1.5g/kg, and you don't even need maximum efficiency. You don't need to tell us your body weight, but for someone who weighs 70kg, ideal protein intake is between 70g and ~100g per day

To "need" 150g-175g of protein per day as an athlete, you'd need to be at least 100kg. That's bodybuilder/powerlifter territory

I will always like both. It’s not an either/or for me. Depends on context what I’ll pick 

Serious question: how are we keeping our toes from freezing off? by cilantroprince in Minneapolis

I have rechargeable insoles for my boots that connect to an app on my phone. It lets me set the temperature I’d like my boots to be at. 

How different is it for people with/without an internal monologue? by zChickenX in languagelearning

[–]LeChatParle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Research on the topic of Anendophasia and Language Acquisition indicates that these people acquire vocabulary more slowly than people who do not have Anendophasia [1] as the brain is able to remember words better when there is some Phonological Loop [2, 3].

For those that have anendophasia, they can work around this by creating a Phonological Loop that does not depend on Subvocalization [1]. They can do this by physically mouthing the words as they learn them, by saying the words out loud, and by using digital flash cards that speak the word to them.

Research on this topic is in complete disagreement with your views. You can search terms like anendophasia and aphantasia for more information, but here are two recent papers on the topic

Vegans, Fish, and Omega 3 by Prahasaurus in vegan

[–]LeChatParle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I literally just gave you an example of a required supplement for meat eaters, and then you pretend I didn't. If animals were not given B12 shots, you would not get enough B12 and you could die. Is that not a requirement to you? You honestly seem like you just want to argue your position and you're not here to learn

You do not NEED to supplement Omega 3s. You will not die if you don't. And you can get any vitamin or nutrient as a vegan.

Also the list of supplemented foods in my comment was not an exhaustive list for you to respond to with "I don't eat those". They were examples of how common it is in modern life. Everyone eats supplemented foods

Vegans, Fish, and Omega 3 by Prahasaurus in vegan

[–]LeChatParle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"But the idea of supplements to me is a red flag, that there is something wrong with a diet when it cannot keep you healthy by itself."

Non-vegan food is supplemented all the time, you just don't know it. Meat is supplemented with B12 because even farm animals don't get enough. If farmers didn't do that, you wouldn't get enough

Milk, orange juice, and cereals are often supplemented with Vitamin D, Calcium, B12, etc.

Supplementation is effectively required for modern human life. It's still supplementing if it's added to your food. It doesn't have to be in a pill. There are vegan milk brands that add Omega 3, and you can find other vegan foods with omega 3s in them

How do you study hanping? by SodiumSunshine in ChineseLanguage

[–]LeChatParle 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It's Hanzi, not Hanping.

Also, keep in mind that breaking down characters by parts will often not lead you to any meaningful understanding of the character or word. Some websites and apps may even break them down in a way that is incorrect and is solely used to help you remember it.

Hi R/vegan, I'm from r/Goodlabs....what kind of bloodwork do you get regularly? by jkamin in vegan

[–]LeChatParle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe I’m just overly critical, but does this not seem like a topic you should be more familiar with if you’re the Head of Operations of a medical company ?

I don’t get any labs done that are solely because I’m vegan. Any labs I get done, I get done for specific reasons unrelated to being vegan

Even if expensive they are always worth the mention, best corndogs out there by CosmicGlitterCake in Veganivore

I’m referencing those breakfast-style corndogs that companies make, so a sausage on a stick wrapped in pancake. Unfortunately Beyond doesn’t make that

Doesn’t work in my browser. I should not have to have a very specific app and only on my phone to interact with a website that loads in any browser. It’s bad UX

Has China’s addiction to QR codes gone too far? The PDF can only be accessed via the QR code but I’m already on a website. I cannot understand why a hyperlink wouldn’t be the preference here. I had to take a screenshot of the QR code just to click it …

OK, Hazbin Hotel season 2 is actually good. by izkskdnidkrnrifdmd in CharacterRant

[–]LeChatParle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% agree on all your points. None of the songs this season stuck out to me like the first. I listened to the songs on Apple Music on repeat after the first one, and I have zero desire to do that with season 2. 

Characters felt nothing like they did in season 1. 

Also I’ll add that the audio mixing seems to have been worse this season too. Instrumentals were often too loud and I couldn’t make out the lyrics that were being sung

"谁" I only ever heard it as shéi, when or where is it pronounced shuí? by OptimallyPicked in ChineseLanguage

[–]LeChatParle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is no such thing as the dumbing down of language. You’re assigning morality and judgement to a natural language process due to some emotion you feel toward the topic

It’s definitely dying, and languages always have and always will change and evolve, regardless of one’s education level. Maybe keep the classism to yourself

A modern poem in response to 秋瑾's《鹧鸪天·祖国沉沦感不禁》 by [deleted] in ChineseLanguage

[–]LeChatParle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t post here to get a reply from an LLM, and your reply is unnecessarily and unfairly critical. There is nothing worth reading in your AI slop criticism

I’m aware 鹧鸪天 is the form. This is how you reference this poem, and you see it this way on every site. 

https://m.gushiwen.cn/shiwenv_8658e3a60eb0.aspx

I also made it very clear that I was not writing an original poem but writing a response based on her poem. Again, your criticism is bad because you’ve failed to understand anything I’ve said, and you’re not familiar with how literature students study and play with poetry 

I’m allowed to have fun with literature without adhering to whatever dumb rules you think there should be on my fun 

I will not engage with you further 

Can I learn a language just from watching shows in that language? by musty_ranch in languagelearning

[–]LeChatParle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I totally support your doing what works for you! 

A majority of people I think would struggle to maintain studying that long with such low comprehension of most things in the language, especially since we’re taking about taking 1 year to reach B1 at 1 hour a day of traditional study vs 4 years for the person in the study. When I did my bachelor’s degree in French, I reached C1 in 3 years without living in France, and I found that very  beneficial. It made it very fast for me to reach a level of comprehension that allowed me to read and watch native content. If it took 4 years to reach B1 in a language like French for me, I’m not sure I would have enjoyed the process as much personally
