We already do, it's called dopamine

Why do we need to excrete the tears before reabsorbing them, instead of just producing and consuming them internally?

When Svetlana arrived the space station, she was reportedly handed an apron from her male crewmates and jokingly told to get to work in the kitchen. But she’s also described in fond terms the flowers she received upon arrival: “They gallantly presented me with flowers they had grown in orbit and those plain flowers in a transparent box were the dearest present to me. We hugged each other, kissed each other, in a word, our meeting was the usual meeting of friends who had not met for a long time.” After this initial meeting she was quickly able to establish a working, professional relationship with her crew.

Funny, she didn't see anything wrong with it either

She was laughing, avoiding to herself

Lindell provided data that turned out to be totally irrelevant to his claims

Pretty misleading. The problem isn't that he had diesel generators in the trailers, that's standard practice. It's that he built a very tiny fraction of the number he promised investors he had actually built, and spent the rest of the funds.

Edit: in case this comment is confusing, reason is OP drastically changed their title without noting the edit.

One problem steam doesn't have is with fake accounts. They can be reasonably sure which accounts are legit and ignore votes from the more questionable ones

This isn't lemmy, this is a specific community. And your argument brings us back to the whole issue between mods and community members.

Being a dick to someone trying to make the place better

Members of a community do have a stake in the community, and in this case, are trying to keep the place from getting worse. It's an open question who the dick is in the discussion, especially since it was an open call for feedback that then subsequently ignored every comment that disagreed with the idea. It very much came across as a call for 'positive feedback only'.

'Feedback' does not mean 'fix my idea for me'. Just because something isn't your area of expertise doesn't mean you can't point out when there are flaws in something. It's like getting served a dish that tastes horrible, then the restaurant says you can't complain because you're not offering a solution.

Idk, trans people are usually quite healthy.

Edit: The controversy in votes over an innocent joke is hilarious.

We should want analysis to be from the perspective of a typical fast food eating, reality tv watching, not-super-engaged American

Why? Lemmy is a worldwide site.

I suppose as a non American my idea of what the secret service actually is / does may be a little skewed by Hollywood

Isn't that what regular security is for?

Why would the secret service be guarding an empty plane?

300 is the obviously low, official govt estimate. The protestors estimate between 1k - 2k deaths.

Shrug. Probably? It's not like I've heard of her before today.

Probably not an unreasonable fear at the moment?

“I thought the Olympic Games were about sport. No longer,” Russian MP Mariya Butina tells me.

“It’s about politics, religion, everything. It’s very sad because the original idea of the Olympics was to create peace.”

“But Russia has invaded Ukraine,” I point out. “That’s not ‘peace’, is it?”

“Russia has been protecting its people,” Ms Butina responds, echoing the official line here that Russia’s war in Ukraine is all about self-defence.

In reality, the Kremlin’s "special military operation" amounts to the invasion of a sovereign independent nation.

Good to see the media not 'both siding' for once.

One of their former own, who is now trying to drum up publicity to sell his book.

Yeah, imagine different people having different opinions than you!
