@shibao thank you for posting; got me to the gym

Gah, bad stats are confusing and hard to reason through

Isn't #JaronLanier just describing the #fediverse here? Is it really possible he doesn't know about it? His groups are like our servers, small and locally moderated with an incentive to maintain a good reputation. But where it's easy to switch. Hmm...

@wjmaggos "I say, test these ideas. Let’s find out." Totally, Jaron. I really hope someone does one day

If the goal is to use less meat, why don't we like... Feed them more rice and beans? Corn? Something easier to get right

The only good bugs I ever ate were expensive

I have defended eating bugs in the past, as they can be tasty, but schools are trying to put them on the menu in the UK?.... Their lunches better be like very significantly better than in the US, because otherwise I have grave concerns about these dishes

We are going to teach literal children to eat literal bugs so corporations can continue to pollute and ruin the earth.

Yeah this seems like an excellent idea

Ah man, I bought stale nutty bars :(

@Sir_Munchnuts eh, that feels different again. 'they' do control access to many things you need in order to build bombs like ammonia and etc at least to an extent. Also your car isn't like obviously going to be used to kill. Not saying a gun is either. I own guns and a car, but what I don't own is a backpack full of 60 magazines and 1600 rounds of .223 ammo like the uvalde killer had... Kinda hard for me personally to stomach that being just a-ok, with no questions asked.

@Sir_Munchnuts drugs and abortion seem less complicated and capital intensive to create. Feels like an easier black market to sustain, but I hear your point. As for gun laws in Chicago.. not sure what the delta is before and after but I'll go check it out that might be interesting

Huh. There's a lot of republicans in wheelchairs

Playing Civ as the Aztecs again. Just got to the part where I declare Total War on The West. Kiss my ass Teddy Roosevelt. I'm coming for you Catherine De' Midici.
