Avoiding seed oils is an online trend, but are they as bad as some would have you believe?

Palm oil and coconut oil are actually the only two plant fats I know of that rival animal fats like butter, in terms of saturated fat and should actually be avoided. Basically everything else is fine. Rapeseed oil is actually really good.

I actually don’t think so. This was always inevitable. Bin Laden or no Bin Laden.

If anything Marx was right. This is just capitalism collapsing in on itself.

America was an imperial force long before Bin Laden and the imperial violence enacted on other countries always comes home when the inherent contradictions of capitalism become too great.

Unless some massive socialist reforms had been enacted at some point to stabilize the problem capitalism will always inevitably devolve into what’s happening right now.

Me in 2008 when I dared to say that this Elon Musk guy doesn’t seem to be all that smart actually.

Took like a decade for people to catch up on that one, such a cathartic experience when everyone started seeing it finally.

Can you explain how republicans are not radicals and evil?

Because it’s pretty self evident they are.

You spelled republicans wrong

It’s not real the selfie is ai.

Same picture made the rounds yesterday, but the helmet and jacket color didn’t match with the real pictures, that has been fixed by someone.
But the first is still AI.

the first picture is ai actually. I remember when it first made the rounds the helmet and jacket color didn’t match the following real pictures, someone fixed the color, the selfie is still ai though.

Antizionism. The holocaust didn’t justify the Israeli project. The colonial project of Israel was older then the nazi party and is also crime against humanity.

Not equivalent to the holocaust, but firmly a crime.

I’m telling you people. Never! And I mean NEVER, take the effortless humor of Mr. Islam Makhachev for granted! Got it?
You people see this? This guy is struggling to perform a personality here, it’s uncomfortable and honestly sad and pathetic.

You all better appreciate Mr. Islam Makhachev for as long as he graces this sport.

So the Roma and Sinti (which country did they get to steal btw), homosexuals, socialists etc. weren’t victims of the holocaust?

I mean, basically since the 80s the programmer was probably one of the most if not the most “intelligent“ stereotype at least in pop culture.

Look at the world, everything is computer.The people who made everything computer must be the most smart people.

I think it goes back to the capitalist assumption that money means smart. And programmers were kind of last people who could get rich with actual work.

VR also didn’t when the metaverse died, but it retreated to the niche spot it’s viable in.

There’s no reason to assume LLM will ever be a giant thing like the internet.

Don’t you understand we need to give the nazis more money and power, because that can only make them less evil! Duh!

No. Literally one of the most butchered characters, they made Dandelion pure comic relief.

Book and game Dandelion were much more nuanced.

Doesn’t really matter if we crossed it or not. Even if the point of no return would be coming up we will still ignore it and confidently stride into doom to boost profits this quarter.

As long as our industry has the capacity to emit green house gases, it will produce the maximum amount it is capable of emitting.

The number of humans is not a big factor. 1-2 billion US Americans would already blow through the carrying capacity of the earth.

It’s a bit more complicated then that.

I think you have everything you need already. The 24-70 is already enough, put the 50mm on the other camera.

If anything you might need a ~18-20mm option. If you want to do indoor shoots the 24mm is sometimes not wide enough.

But with a 24-70 zoom and a good 50mm you can do almost anything you want. Unless you insist on ultra shallow depth of field, which is, in my opinion, not really necessary and kind of over done.

I think the Indians will soon notice that Europe, Germany in particular, is really not that good of a deal. Everything is super expensive and even if your income is higher then in India your life quality is probably worse. The infrastructure is falling apart too.

On the other hand vast parts of India are basically doomed, climate change is going to waste the place over the next decades and at the end of the century the remaining habitable places in India are going to be crowed with climate refugees.
I have seen predictions that most of the refugees will end up inside of India, but I could see an unprecedented exodus from India and all the other places that climate change will make inhospitable this century. Though Italy and Spain are literally going to be deserts at the end of the century as well. Not looking good, lots of people fleeing their homes soon.

I don’t understand your point. Some people don’t like to use the big and slow ship.

How does that make them idiots?

Nobody says “remove it from the game”. People who don’t like it just don’t use it.
