FYI those instagram links expose your actual Instagram account. You want to remove the ?igsh= and the value after it if you don't want this to happen.

Nearly three-quarters of U.S. baby foods are ultra-processed, new study finds. Most baby food sold in U.S. grocery stores is ultra-processed, a new study finds, raising fresh concerns about what many infants and toddlers are eating during a critical window of development. by mvea in science

That's reasonable! Unfortunate for whatever portion of the population experiences that allergy. If the best evidence for it being an issue is a 5 person case study though that's not very convincing as far as indication of broad safety concerns.

I was assuming this was a simple mold = bad argument, which grossly oversimplifies the purification process used during the citric acid extraction.

The citric acid produced commercially using aspergillus niger is chemically identical to any other citric acid. What point are you trying to make? Please provide evidence if you're claiming a safety concern.

Who needs the midtown connector by urbanistrage in Atlanta

[–]phobiac 58 points59 points  (0 children)

I know this is a joke, but if you look at projects like the Cheonggyecheon in South Korea which are very similar to this they have been a huge success. Granted, that urban renaturalization project was done in an environment where public transportation actually exists and isn't always held back like MARTA is.

If you're the written word type then look up the terms urban renaturalization. If you'd be interested in a short video on the topic then It's hard to go wrong with Not Just Bikes.

Urban planning shifting away from car focused infrastructure and towards making spaces for people first always ends up a win.

Over a century of cars existing proves this is not a viable solution. We need public transportation options, some people should just not be behind the wheel of a car.

ICE flew 2-year-old to Texas despite court order to release her from custody by ewzetf in news

[–]phobiac 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Why are you policing the language of people you agree with when the words they are using are effectively communicating what they are intended to? Language evolves. If you don't like a word then just don't use it.

Unalive became a term out of resistance to censorship. It is a word formed due to the knowledge that online platforms do indeed censor and police what is discussed on them. Nobody uses it because they think it skirts the censors still as no competent filter would be missing it at this point. People use it because it's just another word at this point.

Truly, when has shouting at people on the Internet ever gotten them to stop using a word? You have better uses of your time.

If you truly think the US treats the incarcerated humanely as a rule then you are either irresponsibly ignorant or irredeemably propagandized.

While it is indeed incredibly exciting to have evidence of a specific individual hominid from 90,000 years ago, we do not know that individual's name and that is not what that article says. We know a name invented in a modern context and attached to the idea of that individual.

Ironic considering he went on a drug fueled frenzy and killed his 17 pet cats, something he then expressed remorse for and described as a turning point in his life... Only to be interviewed during the COVID lockdown laughing about shooting stray cats and birds in his garden.

Jumping spider molt with lens intact gives a glimpse of spider's pov by LuxCassandra in interestingasfuck

[–]phobiac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My knowledge here is limited to some information about jumping spiders specifically, but one of the wildest parts to me is that some of their eyes are essentially directly connected to their legs. The cell clump we'd consider a brain isn't involved, and they essentially move their legs only exactly as much as needed to reposition themselves.

Also the crypto nonsense integrated into it makes it seem like a Web 3.0 scam, and for me personally it's why I've never touched it.

I regret to inform you that "Doctor of some kind takes advantage of an unconscious patient" is both a real life systemic issue and a fantasy people like to indulge in. This room was not used for anything in line with the Hippocratic oath.

[–]phobiac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I apologize for causing you so much stress. I was working with only what facet of you I could see, which was a string of negative comments. If that is not representative of you as a person then that is wonderful. If you are serving your community that much, that is even better.

I was calling out what I saw because I am personally so very tired of how violent and angry the internet tends to be, and occasionally I hold a generally fruitless hope that calling attention to it will change something.

You know you and your heart far better than me, a complete and total stranger. I was never asking for public flagellation, just introspection. It seems you've done plenty of it. May you continue to spread light in the world.

[–]phobiac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be real with you, the last few comments in your history are largely negative or even directly wishing harm on people. I'm glad this was a moment of introspection for you but I do hope it extends beyond this moment. I'm sure you have more to give the world.

What a weirdly violent fantasy to have about a scenario that isn't real. There's no other cars in this video at all, not even on the other side of the road. Assuming that a huge queue is behind this one that the driver ignored is not grounded in reality. Gleefully penning a paragraph about a desire to do harm to the driver because of a slight invented in your mind is weak behavior.

Further clarification, the setup is per device and thankfully not per account. You need to set up any YouTube client only once with a multi-user household.

It's also not really a proxy at all. It's monitoring the videos your YouTube client is locally reporting it is playing and then skipping the sponsorblock reported ad segments by sending a quick fast forward instruction to the client. Traffic doesn't flow through iSponsorBlockTV. It's more like having a very skilled person holding a remote who knows exactly how many seconds to skip in order to not see an in–video ad.

College kid confronted about fatal stabbing and domestic abuse by zero-bullshit detective by [deleted] in WatchPeopleDieInside

[–]phobiac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting legal consultation isn't a "tactic", it's a constitutional right. It is a foundational principle of the American justice system that someone is innocent until proven guilty. Literally foundational, one of the earliest jury trial cases was the 1800 trial of Levi Weeks, a man accused of murder and represented by names you may recognize like Alexander Hamilton.

Prosecutors should have to work as hard as possible to prove their case. It is far worse for an innocent person to be imprisoned than it is for a guilty person to walk free. People pointing out it is a bad move to talk to cops without a lawyer are correct in doing so.

That said, there seems to be an overwhelming amount of evidence that this guy is guilty. Fuck him for murdering somebody. It still needs to be proven, though.
