    The fact that this is a real image is infuriating

  • Are you claiming that people condemning invasion of Ukraine are bad then?

    Because "the entire west" does not condemn true socialism, or communism.

    Vocal mouthpieces do.

    The UK general election in 2019 had 40% of seats go to Corbyn, vs 42% going to the Tories. There is work to be done, but the reported numbers don't get the profile of reality.

  • Not sure what you are talking about.

    No one condemns Jews for being Jews, people condemn trapping people in walled camps, denying them food and aid and then blanket bombing them. Regardless of the perpetrator.

    The Nazis are the ones supporting it.

  • They don't, but by providing a "classic tier" they get to kill anyone's argument against it by saying "just don't get it", until they then discontinue the "classic tier" due to a "lack of demand", and force Office users to have AI and pay for it too.

  • queue criticism

    It's cue.

    https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cue

    a signal (such as a word, phrase, or bit of stage business) to a performer to begin a specific speech or action

    That last line is your cue to exit the stage.

    I assume you were requesting a critique on your comment.

  • Your tea bag is likely releasing billions of microplastic particles, according to a new study

  • No!

    biodegradable tea bags

    You want "compostable" or better, "home compostable". Biodegradable is a word that is completely twisted, and items that include plastics will use that word no matter how untruthful it is to the spirit of the meaning.

  • Hospital admissions for lack of vitamins soaring in England, NHS figures show

  • This is interesting, thanks!

    Now I agree that eating 450 oranges is unlikely, however if iron is down 22% then eating another 30% more green leafy veg to cover it may not be something people are even aware of however unlikely it is that they could consume that much anyway. Hence the drastic numbers from the article.

    It sounds like even "healthy eating" people could be deficient.

  • The issues with multivitamins are well documented.

    1. Binding agents to make the pills easier to manufacture, make them harder to digest
    2. Protective shells so they last longer, means you can't digest them as well
    3. Sugar mixtures to make them more appealing, such as gummies, can prevent you from digesting vitamins correctly

    Over the counter pills only help somewhat, my grandmother had calcium pills to help with her weaking bones, but in the end had to have surgery as the pills she was on didn't digest and just accumulated in her stomach. Especially as you get older your digestive tract weakens.

    I don't know what the solution is, perhaps having multivitamin drinks? But while we have "news stories" that are mostly scare stores, and no leadership with solutions, it's going to be hard.

  • I do wonder whether there is more to it than just fast food.

    Of course, bad diets are going to be a big portion of this, but I do hear repeatedly of reduced nutritional values in our food overall due to farming for colours over health. How much does this make an impact?

    I also do wonder about the relationship with some of the alternative diets, I personally know one person who is "vegan" but doesn't actually "like vegetables", so their diet mostly consists of potato products and processed bean curds.

    All this reporting is going to ignore the deeper societal questions because the obvious lead they are pushing is "too many people live off fast food" without actually saying that.

  • Le Reddit Army is Here

    Jump

  • Don't get me wrong, banning words is stupid and gives us the Scunthorpe problem and I am very glad that we have an alternative to Reddit because its just a cesspit.

    The subreddit "r/unpopularOpinions" was not full of unpopular opinions, and the words banned were obviously popular opinions because everyone talked about them until the API change and the regime cracked down.

  • I don't know about that. People post obviously popular opinions repeatedly if they aren't banned.

    Unpopular opinion, but I dislike the top ten Christmas songs

    Yeah, no shit. Even though they are the "top ten".

  • No one is locked into the Steam store. Any of the others could release a Linux handheld if they wanted to.

    First they would have to make an interface that works in a console like way, and then actually make the launchers work on Linux. But this would require effort, and neither care about actually supporting customers.

    Epic is far happier being customer hostile.

  • I don't agree with this.

    We have been moving away from family for many decades now. However I was able to travel by train in 2000 from Liverpool to Reading, I don't think I would have done if it was £120, which is the current return price from Lime St. to Reading, it was half that.

    That's insane.
