  • To me the role of the "fake" stuff isn't to replace it as staples in my diet but to let me have some old comforts once in a while, or at least something to fill the gap. When you've been veg for a few years a fake chicken finger can do a decent job of scratching the itch for something like that, even if you know it's not the same

    At least for me. Mileage varies depending on what you like about the original

  • Speaking as someone who is plant based, it's a false dichotomy anyway. It's not "go vegan or eat lots of meat". People who don't share the vegan philosophy could just eat very little meat and make a huge difference to the planet, just like how I bike or walk to work but once in a while I drive.

  • There were people there prior to the Aztec empire conquering them. The Aztec empire is just a specific government that ruled the area at that specific time.

    The Napoleonic empire, for comparison, only lasted 1804-1815 (with a hole in the middle).

  • Also about giving other angry and worried people a nidus to work around. It's too easy to feel angry and alone,. protests show that you're not alone and.others are taking action.

    Sitting back and politely listening to warnings has done less than nothing

  • I highly doubt Reddit is doing it intentionally. You're talking to people who have chosen not to switch platforms, and so they're giving you their rationalisations for it. The conspiracy theories aren't necessary to explain the behaviour, people will find all sorts of excuses for resistance to change.

  • I use Lemmy to talk to strangers, but I use discord to talk to specific people. Unless I can convince the vast majority of them to switch to matrix it doesn't matter how much I prefer the foss service, it's useless to me. I still have an account, sure, but I don't use discord out of laziness. I use it because matrix literally can't provide that service.

  • Well, a huge one is finding ways to make them easily accessible to doctors without uprooting the entire current infrastructure. The average doc can't just host a physiotherapist, dietician, and social worker in their clinic, and to work best there needs to be open communication between the different branches.

    That's a fixable problem, probably starting by opening clinics where all the professionals work under one roof and the doctors are subcontractors to the clinic rather than owners and managers. That's a structure that wouldn't appeal to everyone but it would appeal to many. Then those clinics could take specific patient populations preferentially to do their primary care, eg. elderly people, people with multiple chronic illnesses, etc - helping to take the load from docs in independent practice who would rather not be part of a larger team. There are already clinics like that out there, and they've been pretty successful.

    Ultimately though the biggest barrier is just money and trained professionals. The interprofessional teams in BC should fill this role fairly well, but don't have enough employees to reliably meet the gaps
