I've been using LosslessCut for a few years now. It's really easy and smooth. It does exactly what I want and what the name says, and I couldn't ask for more.

As I much as I also believe that, there is no hard evidence (that we know of) that he didn't kill himself. I think that's why it's in that section. The suspiciousness of it is through the roof, but we can't prove it.

I agree with pretty much everything you've written. The only point I would like to make is that the section where the UFOs sits is the "We Have Questions" section, which is between the "Things That Actually Happened" and "Unequivocally False But Mostly Harmless" sections. I interpret this section as containing things that cannot (as of 2021) be conclusively shown to be true or false. Also note that they're not even saying ET UFOs, but just UFOs. I think the flying saucer is just for visual flair. If I recall correctly, the person who designed this is/was an actual graphic designer.

I try not to let myself get affected by crazy anonymous comments on the internet. I definitely avoid thinking that they're any kind of majority. I figure that those comments come from a minority of people who are either really messed up, have an ulterior motive, or whatever variety of atypical motivation. If nothing else, it's better for my mental health to think this way.

Ugh, I hadn't even noticed the comments until you mentioned it. I avoid the comments sections on most "news" sites because they're almost universally dumpster fires if they're not properly moderated.

Edit: although Giant Meteor 2024 definitely sounds like a winning ticket.

The uncensored video is here as well: https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1616102/shock-us-air-force-airman-sets-himself-on-fire-to-protest-israeli-palestine-war/

Ah, interesting, I didn't realize that this stuff had been around so long!

I'm sorry to hear that. I recognize that any general statements meant for a "majority" audience can appear to be insensitive to those outside that "majority". That was not my intention and I regret that it appeared to be so.

I didn’t say it was a rule or commandment. The point is that natural food ingredients > processed, mystery ingredients for health (as a general rule, not always).

Also, an extreme low carb diet is not necessary to avoid diabetes, for most people.

Seaweed is looking super sus atm

Not seaweed in general, but "Processed eucheuma seaweed (thickener) (stabiliser) (gelling agent) emulsifier"

Pretty much, perhaps with the exception of bacon fat. And I say this as someone who is mostly vegan. The point is that natural food ingredients > processed, mystery ingredients for health (as a general rule).

Point taken, but the thing about adages is that they are generally truthful, simple guidelines, not 100% fail-proof rules. The point is that we should eat real, natural foods, not ultra-processed "products".

I'm sorry to hear of what happened to your family members though, that's truly regrettable! Sorry for your loss.

Note it doesn't just say seaweed in general, but "Processed eucheuma seaweed (thickener) (stabiliser) (gelling agent) emulsifier"

Again, the old adages to eat real foods, and only ingredients that your grandmother would have cooked with, ring true.

Did you see the body cam video released a couple of days ago of the Florida cop who went completely berserk when he heard an acorn hit his car? Definitely overly dramatic...

Cool, I hope it will be good!

Although I’m not surprised, it is interesting that the same big tech companies like Apple and Microsoft taking stances on being “environmentally conscious” while also ignoring forced obsoletion of old hardware.

That's purely greenwashing marketing hype, with Apple being the worst offender. Now Microsoft seems to be following in their footsteps, although they're still better in this regard than Apple.

Glad to hear. I used to use Tom's but unfortunately I couldn't find the SLS-free flavors locally anymore. I just checked their website and it seems they got rid of most of their SLS-free flavors.

Also, unfortunately, the brand I had been using, Jason, seems to be dropping most of their toothpastes. It took me a while to find a new, clean brand to use, but I think I finally found it: Burt's Bees. It seems to be one of the cleanest toothpastes I've ever seen, according to https://www.ewg.org/skindeep/ and it's available at my local Target stores!
