Thanks, I didn't know. This is interesting: "...there might be something about the experience of elevated power and status that reduces our willingness to give to others." Political realism on a micro scale?

Via imperialism. Then, when their enormous military became too expensive, their empire crumpled. Or maybe it was the lead pipes.

Some work; some don't. Google Scholar is a good way to find out whether testing's been done. Here are 2 less time-consuming ways 1) https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/list-all/ 2) https://examine.com/ The other thing to watch out for is whether the bottle you're buying actually contains what it says it does. The only verifying organizations I know of are NSF and USP. Manufacturers have to pay for those lab tests, and if they do, they post NSF or USP logos on the bottles. If you just look for "natural" or "organic," you won't find anything about the presence or absence of the supposedly active ingredient. As jmp242 said, there's no regulation in the USA, so there's a lot of snake oil.

or the fucking Koch brothers, or the Mercers

We know that people who have less tend to be more generous than people who have more.

I've wondered how you ship one back if you don't like it.

Dessalines' 8/7 response must be the answer https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3827#:~:text=dessalines%20commented%20on,as%20cross%2Dposts.

Maybe the answer is that other users cross-post, and those cross-posts are displayed. https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/15484385684628-How-to-Crosspost-your-community-s-content-to-other-communities

Who downvotes honest questions?

Thanks. Here's a screenshot. If I understand you, the answer is that if anyone from federated instance A subscribes from there to a community X on federated instance B, then community X's posts get cross-posted to instance B. But that doesn't explain cross-posting to specific communities on instance(s) B, so I think I'm missing your explanation.

not at all

Depends on what you can afford. Foam mattresses are easy, b/c you can have them shipped, but you can't try before you buy. Hybrid mattresses are popular. They have springs inside and foam on one side. You can't flip them over, like you can with old-fashioned mattresses. Recently, I saw in a Goodwill thrift shop, a decent hybrid mattress for little money. They have a deal with a US manufacturer. I know this b/c I needed a new mattress a couple of years ago. In the process of looking, I found a couple of online sites comparing different brands and types. I seem to remember they weren't affiliated with any sellers. If I'd saved the links, I'd share them. Figuring out exactly what they're selling and comparing between brands is complicated. Good luck. P.S., Low-quality foam deteriorates quicker than pricier foam.

Is that a devil's-advocate question? Anyway, I don't know, but I suspect. I'm not their customer, I'm their product. The more access they have to data, the more money they make.

I don't want Google to use my emails and documents to train their AI.

FF does PWs well.
