Duh, that’s exactly how pacific resistance works: you intentionally lose something to make a point.

If everyone refused to buy from scalpers, you wouldn’t even able to refuse, because scalpers wouldn’t exist in the first place.

I’d guess the one which seems that it will last more, since you can subscribe to communities of any other instance. You’ll only see a difference if you browse only local posts.

In my case I chose infosec.pub because I want to browse it locally if I want, but my subscribed communities include memes and webcomics for some light time wasters.

I thought “crash your glucose instantly” would be understood as hypoglycemia, but English is not my native language.

I’m sure an experienced medic in an emergency could work with it somehow, but for the rest of us living in civilization, insulin that has been outside their recommended temperature range is very dangerous.

Long-acting insulin has crystals that dissolve at body temperature over time, hence it can gradually release insulin over hours. If you break or dissolve those crystals by freezing/thawing/overwarming, the best scenario would be that it became fast-acting insulin, and it would crash your glucose instantly on injection of your usual dose. The worst scenario is that it no longer acts like insulin.

I see it as a future Dubai, where foreigners with little rights make the whole of the workforce, and are the ones having the kids needed to prop the nation.

It’s a shitty future, but hopefully those migrant families are valued and treated better by democratic countries than the opulent Middle East does.

Who needs kids anyway? I can’t understand why some people want lots of kids, each and everyone of them is a significant long-term effort and responsibility.

Be child free and you could buy a brand new car every year with this poverty line.

Was going to quote just that, from the same article:

‘Ozempic face’ isn’t a side effect of the medication itself. Rather, it’s a side effect of the rapid weight loss the medication can bring.

Oh wait, I did anyway.

Socialism is great as a concept, basically means putting people before capital. Capitalism is the reverse. Even the staunchest capitalist countries practice socialism to some degree. Raw capitalism would be hell.

It’s the same with communism, where the workers were supposed to own the means of production, which means money wouldn’t gravitate around a few ones. Even the staunchest communist countries didn’t practice real communism, deforming it into feudalism.

TL;DR: Socialism is a great concept, just consider that everything we hear about it comes from a culture ruled by capitalists.

I think voting is not enough, people need to get active politically, ideally with other parties than blue or red.

Why is Ramón blue?! Give him CPR instead of chatting here!!

Real programmers will write in a way that user’s resources are not being wasted because you need a full browser, a JS runtime, and DOM juggling, to show even the simplest application.

It’s not rare for simple JS applications to consume over half a gigabyte of RAM on startup, and way more CPU than their native counterparts. That this was normalized and even defended is stupid.

Blaming old people is a defining trait of the young. When young, I remember blaming my parents for bringing me into this world that didn’t give me the things I wanted easily.

Maturing as an adult means taking responsibility for yourself, and doing the things you can do to improve your situation.

Of course one can keep blaming old people for everything until you’re old enough to be blamed, if that’s your jam.
