  • My point is that just because a compound is simple or easily understood doesn't mean it is safe. What if excess phenylalanine is toxic? It's not completely outside of the realm of possibility.

    For the record, I agree with you that it is unlikely that aspartame is toxic and the only studies that show this use non-human analogues. It is, however, important to play devil's advocate in scientific settings.

  • Interesting side effect is Reddit is basically penalizing voting, since if you vote on most comments you end up doubling or tripling your API usage. The best way to pay less for this app is to stop voting altogether.

    Reddit's advertising is based on user engagement, so they're shooting themselves in the foot for a few pennies in comparison.

  • Just as easily as a molecule with two carbons, one nitrogen, one oxygen, and a hydrogen. Just because chemicals are simple doesn't mean they are safe.

  • That's great that it worked for you, but I won't be doing that with my kids. Statistically, there was always the chance you lose a finger or hand from sticking it where it didn't belong. And while yes, it's unlikely, it doesn't really matter anymore how likely it is once it actually happens.

  • Fair enough. F76 was a shit show. But I have high hopes both because Starfield is a single player game and because a multiplayer Fallout was always a terrible idea anyway

  • Bethesda Games Studio is entirely different from Bethesda the publisher, so I wouldn't be too worried

  • If TikTok doesn't allow you to download their videos and share them outside of their website, based on the EULA agreed to when you made your account, then yes it's piracy. Justifiable piracy, but still piracy.

    (I have no idea if TikTok allows this)

  • I'm a quick learner paired with being stubborn enough to keep trying things until I gain success or I'm at least satisfied with my failure.

  • GMOs don't contain glyphosate to my knowledge and a search reveals nothing but conspiracy theories. Can you source that claim?

  • Dr_Cog has a PhD in Cognitive Psychology and studies cognitive disorders like Alzheimer's disease and dementia

  • I ran a good honest company. Sold it to a less good and less honest one, though.

  • While you have a point, the emulator scene is untested and legally dubious.

    There is nothing dubious about copyright infringement. Doing what Sony did would easily be considered abusing the legal system and no judge would stand for it.

  • Which they would definitely win.

    Even if it's based on the existing song, parody and sampling precedent make it clearly free use. However the creator definitely owns copyright on the specific creation.

  • No it hasn't.

    • Neurology professor
  • So the kid's attractiveness isn't being rated by adults?

  • The problem isn't with gender norms themselves, it's the enforcement of them.

  • So because the average person is aware that it's difficult to download off YouTube, that means any attempt to make it easier is "acting in bad faith"?

    Is it "bad faith" to replace your phone's battery because it requires some specialized tools? Is it "bad faith" to change the oil in your car instead of bringing it to a service center?

  • Is a traffic light only the light, or the pole as well?

  • Unnatural childbirth it is, then

  • Isn't that a bit fascist? People should be able to watch what they want to watch
