To be fair, a patty sandwich of any type (be it hamburgers, chicken sandwich, beans, or any kind of imitation meat) is going to be similarly labor intensive and time consuming if one had to make the patty and bread oneself rather than being able to just buy them. I’m sure traditional recipes for most cultures can be made similarly convenient if probably somewhat different from their original form, if demand exists for them to be premade and sold that way. There’s a specialty grocery store very close to my home that specializes in Indian food, tho also has some international foods from other places too, and it’s freezer section has all sorts of Indian dishes done up as tv dinners, or premade frozen samosas of various flavors one just has to fry in a pan for a few minutes, among other things.
I mean, the United States has, to be fair, developed a food culture that emphasizes using a lot of meat, especially over the past century or so. It’s not surprising that people from an area that eats so much meat, who go vegan, are going to want to look for ways to still make dishes familiar to them
From what I understand, it’s that foods containing lots of fats, sugars, salt etc aren’t normally unhealthy, out in the wild. When you’re worried about not starving, foods with energy storage substances like sugar are a good thing, and the amount you’ll get in some wild fruit or something isn’t bad. Salt is an essential thing to get enough of, and overabundance of it in food isn’t common. So, rather than evolve some ability to know exactly what substances we need and only want to eat food with those exact things, we have the evolutionary shortcut of “sweet things are good, fatty things are good, salty things are usually good, etc”. Our biology hasn’t really evolved to for the possibility of us farming stuff that contains sugar on an industrial scale, extracting and concentrating that sugar, and then putting unnaturally large concentrations of it in everything.
What I’ve been doing is using my account for subscriptions and such and having piped open in another tab, then to watch videos, right clicking on them instead of opening them, hitting copy link, and pasting that to the piped tab to quickly open them there.
From the one time I tried requesting a sub there, they don’t just let someone have a sub if they ask and it’d be banned otherwise, they probably won’t give it to you if you don’t have mod experience for example (the reason I didn’t get the niche sub I was trying to revive, which is reasonable enough), or if they feel that what experience you do have isn’t enough that you’d likely be able to handle the particular sub. TIHI is a big sub, so they’d not just be looking for any random volunteer, it’d have to be someone experienced with moderating sizable subs, probably. And those people are, well, exactly the kind of people angry with reddit right now.
I mean, those first two can absolutely be the case though, if for example someone’s response is very clearly responding to a position that is not the one you were arguing for, but which one’s words could easily be mistaken for.
If anything, I feel like it pretty much makes for a good ending point for an argument, if played out completely. If two people are working with the same set of facts, and understand eachother’s positions, and understand why the other person holds that position, but both still hold to their different views, then the difference probably comes down ultimately to different values, and since those aren’t something one is going to simply logically argue someone onto or out of, there is no point in continuing an argument after that.
By definition, something offensive must be something that can cause someone to take offense. Saying “haha, people get offended when I say offensive things” is rather redundant.
I mean like even if someone is for example criminal or scumbag they are still human and hoping for someone to die or make jokes of someone's loss of life isn't right. Or does someone think it is justified? I think it's morally wrong.
The way I see it, making jokes about this kind of thing is a fundamentally human reaction. People often react to grim scenarios with humor, consider all the jokes about things like wars that exist- and being trapped in a failing submarine is a pretty grim thought that people might seek to distract themselves from by twisting it into humor. I don't think joking about an event like this that resulted in deaths is the same thing as wishing for people to die, they are, after all, already dead, and uncomfortable as the thought is, the dead are not as far as we can probably know capable of taking offense to anything. There is no possible harm that jokes or anything else can do to them anymore.
Obviously I would consider it pretty rude to joke about it around someone who knew one of the deceased, since you can at least cause emotional distress to those people, but I don't see a problem with joking about it on the general internet.
Another thing to consider is that some of the jokes have been mocking the quality of the sub itself, rather than the people on board (save for the ceo I guess). If you cheap out on stuff and that decision kills people, I think it's perfectly reasonable for people to mock you over it.
Honestly I do get why it got so much media attention. Media companies exist to make money, to do that they need to get people's attention. Submarines, especially civilian ones that go deep like this, are rare and unusual things, so this story, while of little practical consequence to most, is very good at getting people's interest.
Something I’ve wondered, whenever looking at this map, is what areas if any would be considered “uninhabitable” on the current earth. For instance, would places like the Sahara desert qualify, according to the scale they use, or do they imagine something worse, for the places marked as such? Mainly because, people do still live in places like the Sahara, even if not at great density, which implies them to not be completely uninhabitable so much as places where human habitation is more difficult than other places.
I mean, is that not par for the course for superpowers, historically? The US just has a wider area that it can reach in that regard, due to better technology of the current era
Would it be possible to make more? I don’t imagine one could manufacture something on the level of a modern EV battery without modern industrial equipment, but electric vehicles technically existed even at the point where cars were first getting invented, made by individual inventors and such, just with much lower speed and range. How useful a vehicle like that would be I’m not sure, but if there’s no easily obtainable oil around, maybe better than nothing?
Now I’m vaguely curious what a mad-max type car barbarian apocalypse setting would look like in a world where everyone had transitioned to EVs long before the apocalypse
The article suggests that this actually breaks down the chemicals in some way, which sounds a bit better than actually vaporizing the stuff like the title suggests
Just because a lot of spammers happen to come from India does not have any bearing on the achievements of their space agency.
In any case, if someone were to build a base on the moon, and it had a telephone (actually probably the only celestial body off earth where a telephone would be kinda viable, annoying due to the second or so of signal lag every time someone spoke, but probably possible, while everywhere else is too far away for real time voice communication like that), then I’d guess it would just use the area code of the program in question’s mission control center or similar facility, based on how phone calls to the ISS just use the phone in Houston and then get relayed through their radio communication system, as far as I understand.
