Brigading

It’s better off blocking users one by one because of all the people with alts. Cut their head off and two more grow in it’s place

Weird. I couldn’t do it, but it’s all good. I can remove blocked instances but not add them on boost. Might be a bug I should let the devs know about

You can block full instances via a PC. I generally surf lemmy using Boost and I wasn’t able to do on my phone.

But go to your settings>blocked>instances and type in the instances you want to block.

Also fair warning, you’re most likely about to get brigaded by both instances

Among American voters 18 to 34 years old, 52% of respondents in the Nov. 16 Quinnipiac poll said their sympathies lie more with the Palestinians, while 29 percent said they were sympathetic to the Israelis. The numbers indicated a sharp reversal from October when 41% said the Israelis had their sympathies and 26% said they were sympathetic to the Palestinians.

No. I don’t thinks so…

More like an educated guess

In what I’ve observed from a certain demographic on here, there seems to be a theme

No.

You get it

If everything is capitalism, then nothing is capitalism

Did you read the articles?

What I was getting at is that it’s harder to fight evolution and it takes time. Advocating for meat free lifestyles would most likely push different evolutionary traits in a few million years. And you have to consider cultural influences as well. Additionally, veganism is more prominent in higher income countries because of food processing and “health food” taxes cost money, so many vegan items aren’t inexspensive. Those people that are too impoverished to afford a full vegan diet would starve without meat. Also consider those places where the land can’t be fertilized and farmed. Those people as well would starve. Trade could resolve that only if they can afford it.

Haha. Fair point

Eating meat is considered in most scientific thoughts as an evolutionary trait that occurred due to humans’ original nomadic nature. Meaning it was easier to hunt an animal for food than having to replace energy and proteins with plants. Plus at the time meat was introduced into the human diet, we would have had to compete with grazing animals, and edible plants were scarce. There are many good alternatives to meat, and I personally agree that cattle industries have gone too far in many regards. However, meat is still one of the easiest ways to give yourself the nutrients required for the human body

Is capitalism in the room with you right now?

But the contractors. We need the contractors that want to overcharge and take as much of the taxpayers money as possible. It’s important! /s

I don’t know what game she’s trying to play, but it’s definitely a game

Then the best I can suggest is don’t let what anyone says get to you. You can only control what you do, and if someone tries to manipulate you, and you catch it too late, well that’s just a valuable lesson for the future

Improve your empathy. It sounds hard, but when you focus on body language it gets a lot easier. People will give away what their goal is before they even spit a word. You can say “Hey” to them and that is most of the time all you need.
