Imagine paying $80 annually for this mediocre trash.

Edit: Down for 20 hours.

Correct. A vestigial structure however is one that is no longer needed and is greatly diminished but is retained anyway because there's little selective pressure against it. It need not be completely useless, but fingernails serve multiple legitimately important functions in humans and thus aren't vestigial.

There's still debate over how exactly teeth originated.

It also serves to enable very precise grip in a way that a blunt fingertip couldn't (pinching something very tiny), to enable us to scrape things, and to protect the fingertip from injury. It definitely isn't vestigial.

The itch doesn't begin until well after the female mosquito gets her food and leaves, so what reproductive advantage does it give to that specific mosquito over the others to make the itch not happen at all? The answer is "none".

Not only can they not be trusted to leave money on the table, but they can actively be trusted not to.

Sorry I didn't go for the Melania Trump joke. I'm sure you're all very disappointed.

Massaging his heiling arm. Seriously, what disgusting human beings, if they can even be called that.

It's not about CLI versus GUI. I'm referring to installing it on Linux because Windows is a heaping pile of shit.

winget? ewwww.

Open up the GUI package manager, look for Firefox, type in my password.

This is indeed The Room. This is Day 62 of making a meme from every line of dialogue from that film.

I know you mean well, but please explain the difference in tone between my comment (just the original, which the downvotes came from) and this one with 20 upvotes and 0 downvotes. Functionally there is no difference in tone or (as you noted) factual accuracy. If anything, the linked comment is more prescriptive in that it directly tells the reader what to do ("keep your teeth clean"). That I compared an omnivorous diet negatively against a predominantly or wholly plant-based one in any way is the obvious reason why this has as many downvotes as upvotes: people are conditioned to see any mention of a vegan diet's health benefits as preachy and dogmatic.

Fuck yeah. #MakeAmericaDecorporatized

If anyone's never played it, The Room Tribute is a solid 9/10 for what it is and absolutely should be played by anyone who enjoys The Room.

A vegan diet or one at least heavily plant-based (and diets like the Mediterranean one) are consistently linked to lower inflammation in meta-analysis after meta-analysis.

Edit: I have no clue why this is getting downvoted. Examples below:

• "The present systematic review provides evidence that vegan and vegetarian diets are associated with lower CRP levels, a major marker of inflammation and a mediator of inflammatory processes." —Scientific Reports (2020)
• "This umbrella review offers valuable insights on the estimated reduction of risk factors for cardiometabolic diseases and cancer, and the CVDs-associated mortality, offered by the adoption of plant-based diets through pleiotropic mechanisms. Through the improvement of glycolipid profile, reduction of body weight/BMI, blood pressure, and systemic inflammation, A/AFPDs significantly reduce the risk of ischemic heart disease, gastrointestinal and prostate cancer, as well as related mortality." —PLoS One (2024)
• "Evidence strongly suggests that plant-based dietary patterns that are abundant in fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes, and whole grains with less emphasis on animal foods and processed foods are a useful and a practical approach to preventing chronic diseases. Such dietary patterns, from plant-exclusive diets to plant-centered diets, are associated with improved long-term health outcomes and a lower risk of all-cause mortality. Given that neurodegenerative disorders share many pathophysiological mechanisms with CVD, including oxidative stress, inflammation, and vascular damage, it is reasonable to deduce that plant-based diets can ameliorate cognitive decline as well." —Advances in Nutrition (2019)

A vegan diet is just generally lower in inflammatory foods than an omnivorous one.

Yeah, it's called switching away from these shit-ass invasive products wherever possible.

Trump is 3 years younger and plainly aging worse than Biden.

Excellent taste in bread, though.

in order to promote the growth of the fediverse, we want to merge these two communities from two different instances into a third one.

Feels weird.

.ml is unavoidable for some niche tech communities unless you make your own with blackjack and hookers, but for example, Linux has !linux@lemmy.world, !linux@programming.dev, !linux@sh.itjust.works, and !linux@sopuli.xyz. Privacy has !privacyguides@lemmy.one, !privacy@lemmy.world, !privacy@lemmy.ca, and !privacy@programming.dev.
