In case my deletion of the comment wasn’t federated: mb, I didn’t realise it was an image post.

I didn’t think it was misleading, but when I read it I automatically thought the article was talking about the extent of pollution in the ocean, not what everyone else seems to be interpreting it as…

Just a small but very important correction: the article says 6 grams per serving. Giving them two extra teaspoons with the small amount that babies take is much more significant.

EDIT: A quick search said that one serving of baby food tends to be around 75g? That means that that’s 8% of it being pure sugar.

Excuse me? Who are the original people in your book and which year is the baseline?

I’m someone who doesn’t have a huge stake in either side and still this take astounds me.

Yeah, kinda puts paid to the idea that piracy is about sustainable, non-DRMed software for all when the one company whose niche is ensuring that such resources are available is being undermined like this.

Seems like it would be exactly what you’d expect, i.e. not ironic at all.

I saw this and immediately thought about Nicky Case’s game on The Evolution of Trust. I was really glad to see it was referenced in the video as the main inspiration for it!

I think an echo chamber where everyone agrees that slurs and calls to genocide are bad is an echo chamber I’m fine with. We can argue the other stuff, but some things seem pretty cut and dry to me.

I think you’re free to believe what makes you happy :)

But making assumptions can be dangerous in science, and misconceptions, especially in the information age, can be very hard to disabuse. I’m happy for shows to not jump to conclusions just so twenty years later we’re not stuck with myths that may actually be harmful to how we understand the animals we all love.

Feels like you’re conflating all the Israel-Hamas issues together. None of that is relevant to what I said (maybe the first sentence is?) and I agree with most of it.

Sorry to be replying so late, (original poster of the post that generated all these comments here) but I think you’re missing the forest for the trees. You’re right that entire families disappearing probably will get more people to sympathise. That was my original point. Hamas wants innocent Palestinians dead just as much as Israel does. Whether they’ll fudge numbers to move that needle up or not is not really important at that point: some people just feel like in the face of that political reality, is it really so unlikely that they’ll do so?

The sad thing to me is that I don’t think either government genuinely cares about the 195 deaths except as political leverage on Hamas’s side and 195 fewer problems in Netanyahu’s way.

I just went to check and it looks like they were banned for asking somebody to kill themselves…? Feels like maybe they shouldn’t be doing that, regardless of whether or not they were on their fifth account.

Their original comment used the same word “downline”, so I’m sure you can figure out from context that they’re asking if you want to help them do the same thing they’re already doing.

Yeah these posts by people who consistently get banned always have me feeling a little skeptical (no shade on OP if legit).

I think the criticism is that they’re repeatedly publishing these and claiming they’re outliers without attempting to show how they got their results, from what I’m reading.

It’s a burn and also true. If a genetic mutation becomes prevalent enough, it’s no longer really considered to be a “mutation”.

It is actually safe, though, and all this fear-mongering based on misinformation rather than what actually has been said by not just Japan but the IAEA (and admitted by SK) is really hindering efforts at sustainable energy.

The scary thing to me is that humans are predictable, or at least, predictable in their unpredictableness.

With AI, it’s a black box I don’t understand. When it suddenly crashes, I literally will have no idea why.

I guess the difference is we expect humans to fuck up, but autonomous driving is meant to eventually be the thing that replaces that and stops us fucking up.
