The United States has become an oligarchy over the last few decades. It's basically the worst Western country that you could use as an example of freedom right now.
I don't get the downvotes, it's a pretty solid advice.
You have to try really hard to be unhealthy if you eat unprocessed meat, veggies, grains and stick to the basics. It's what millions of years of evolution engineered our body for. Not 300gr of smoked bacon every morning and 1L of fruit juice per day.
> While I have no urge to eat food for its ability to imitate meat (so I’m not the target audience anyway)
That's a very short sighted view. This isn't about vegetarianism. It's about the environmental crisis, and the overfishing crisis, that we're currently experiencing at a global level. I don't care whether you are vegetarian or not, we are all in the target market for solutions to these problems. That's what replacement meat and fish are about.
I disagree, and I’m worried that this view will prevent adequate nutrition for children more and more frequently (meatless Monday etc). The next step is then preventing adequate nutrition for myself from special taxes or regulations on meat.
Your children will survive not eating meat one day of the week - in fact it's probably beneficial to only eat meat every other day or less (not by eating processed food like beyond/impossible etc just eating "normal" vegetarian meals).
This site is such bullshit. I constructively participate in the debate and my opinions are constantly downvoted because you bugmen can't handle real discussion.
That's a pretty obscure reason to say that smartphones suck though. If you need more computing power, buy a tablet or a big battery pack, or use a laptop. Hell, log into a remote server and run your apps there.
95% of people who use phones don't need that much power and given how many people own phones they clearly find them extremely useful.
This argument doesn't work, especially on a societal level. Tech companies are spending millions on researching how to make people addicted to their apps, and it's working. If you can overcome that, good for you.
But for society at large, it's working extremely well and should be regulated as a society wide mental health issue, just as cigarettes and pollution need to be regulated to prevent lung cancer.
How would you recommend regulating this? Not saying it's a bad idea, but the tech industry moves so fast I'm not sure regulation would be able to keep up.
I used this technique a few times until I realized that spammers and, most importantly, companies that sell their user databases also know about it. So it's actually pretty trivial for them to strip the +something bit before any shady business. Now I don't really care anymore. Most spam are catch automatically anyway. Even when they're not, it's actually a tiny annoyance to me. And what am I going to do if I know for sure that some company sold my data? Sue them? I will most certainly not.
Gmail explicitly ignores '.' in email addresses. I don't think it's standard behaviour across other email systems, though, and even gmail didn't always ignore it.
And to vote on mobile I have to zoom in because the buttons are way to close to each other and give no feedback which of the two was pressed (and no way to find out after the fact).
One tip, when you up vote or down vote a link is added to the comments header. It will either be “unvote” or “undown” depending on whether you up or downvoted the comment.
