I wouldn’t normally say this but it seems warranted in a thread about “Factism”. Trump did not win over 50% of the popular vote. He won with 49.8% in 2024 and 46.1% in 2016.

It seems like, while labels are important for communication, they are just unable to capture all of the nuance when it comes to sexuality and gender.

You should read about what ultra-processed means before spreading misinformation. In fact, ZERO of the examples you gave make something fall into the Nova “ultra-processed” classification. Each of those would place them in the category “processed”.

Processed foods are relatively simple food products produced by adding processed culinary ingredients (group 2 substances) such as salt or sugar to unprocessed (group 1) foods.

Processed foods are made or preserved through baking, boiling, canning, bottling, and non-alcoholic fermentation. They often use additives to enhance shelf life, protect the properties of unprocessed food, prevent the spread of microorganisms, or make them more enjoyable.

Examples include cheese, canned vegetables, salted nuts, fruits in syrup, and dried or canned fish. Breads, pastries, cakes, biscuits, snacks, and some meat products fall into this group when they are made predominantly from group 1 foods with the addition of group 2 ingredients.

I agree with you that this should be illegal. I expect this was in the terms of service, though. Since we have no laws restricting this kind of bullshit, the company can argue that they’re within their rights.

We need some real legislation around privacy. It’s never going to happen, but it needs to. We need a right to anonymity but that is too scary for advertisers and our police state.

This is the weirdest way to say this. What a weird bot.

I guess you need reading skills in addition to social skills. Again, I didn’t say that I camp in the middle lane. I get frustrated by those who do. I just gave what I assume to be the logic used by people who do camp in the middle lane.

Go watch yourself masturbate in a mirror so you can give misery to someone who deserves it.

I didn’t say I do that. I’m the guy getting frustrated behind them. I also don’t go around calling strangers cunts you fucking asshole.

Edit: Oh, I see, from your comment history it seems that you’re just a miserable cunt yourself. Maybe go work on your people skills.

I think the logic is that they’re not in the left lane so there is room to go around, and they’re not in the right lane so they don’t need to work to manage merges every time there is an on-ramp. The middle lane is a safe middle-ground where you’re safe from most merges and where you shouldn’t annoy the faster traffic too much.

Spell checking for this comment coming to you from Microsoft

These are definitely not pigeons.

I got an MS in a STEM field and wasn’t able to buy a house until I was 36, supervising multiple employees, and married to someone who also contributed.

That’s a super smart strategy. It reduces the amount of thinking required and speeds up your ability to answer.

What, they decided that what the US is doing looks fun? This is an awful policy in the US and it would be an awful policy in Europe…

So, essentially, one Mexican senator spouted off on Fox News about welcoming US military intervention. This isn’t a widely held position and is just the position of one extremist senator. Is that right?

As I keep telling people, they’re not upset about it because their media aren’t telling them about things like this, at least not in the same terms.

Here’s a really interesting article on how it was discovered that citrus would help. They were also able to preserve citrus and citrus juice with alcohol. They could also turn it into a concentrated syrup without too much loss of vitamin C.

From what I just read, they didn’t do this, but dried citrus, when dried at a cool temperature, retains the majority of its vitamin C.

I don’t think the rapper was even criticizing them. I think he was literally singing their praises.

I get why they’d use something like this to save money and time but, is suspect that correct use would include a human check before charging people.

We need to start pushing for laws on this kind of thing. Automated checks are fine if you, as the company, trust they won’t have too many false negatives. If you aren’t checking for false positives, though, you should be heavily fined for each false report. $25,000 per false report sounds like a good place to start. Hopefully that would be large enough to not just be the cost of doing business.

Yeah, Robin hit me hard, too, but not as hard as Bourdain. I liked Robin more from when I was a kid while I identified with Bourdain as an adult. He inspired me to travel and is the reason I met my wife.
