I’ve been depressed for years. After years of short term gigs and constant moving I decided to give up that lifestyle. In late 2019 I moved to a place with family, got a corporate job, and attempted to develop a feeling of community. I

This is a very common response when someone talks about reddit being unenjoyable. I tried a similar approach. I think almost everybody in tech either doesn’t use reddit or uses it through a similar approach. This response and behavior is

Here’s a quick litmus test to determine if you have an eating disorder. Are you an unhealthy weight? If the answer is yes then you should take a hard look at your eating and exercise habits. An unhealthy weight is the primary effect of (

I’m having a hard time finding the source, but a mission requirement of the Space Shuttle was something along the lines of “Deploy a dozen marines to Moscow in less than 1 hour.”

I strongly disagree with this opinion. The US space program is incredibly practical, particularly in the last 3 decades. * An unbelievable amount of scientific data about biology and microgravity comes from the ISS. To say this is “aimless

I can buy named brand Oatly for ~$4.50L or I can buy generic Oatmilk for ~$2.35. I can buy soymilk for cheaper than cow’s milk.

It’s currently thought to be less important than it use to be. Previously it was assumed that a complete protein needs to be consumed during every meal. Now it’s generally regarded as okay to have a complete protein across the entire day.

What percentage of SNAP funding is spent on foodstuff with animal products in it? Over a quarter of the average American food budget is spent on meat and diary directly, with more being spent on products that contain meat and dairy. It’s

My grocery bill decreased when I started eating exclusively plant based foods. In most meals the most expensive item on the plate is the meat.

The meat (and dairy) industry receive massive subsidies from the the US federal government, and they have massive externalized costs. Some externalized costs are greenhouse gas emissions, downstream downstream pollution, reduced health out

I think it’ll be a big win when plant-based burgers are cheaper than animal based burgers. From a raw ingredients standpoint plant based food should almost always be cheaper than animal based food because the costs associated with farming

That’s one opinion. I personally am put off by the tastes and smells of animal fats and proteins. Perhaps it’s because I consider animal products to be very unhealthy and environmentally harmful. The percentage of people in developed coun

I’ll agree that turn signals are a safety system, but I wouldn’t describe it as a critical safety system. Out of the 1000 things that could go wrong while riding a motorcycle the turn signals not working wouldn’t rank in the top half as fa
