There is a lot of public misunderstanding of the rodent studies that linked aspartame to cancer, which are very flawed and essentially come from a single Italian research group.

There is still no definitive link to cancer risk in humans so I would continue to be skeptical. The maximum recommended safe exposure for aspartame is the equivalent of 12 cans of coke, and the strong effects from the rodent study were using exposure amounts equivalent to 5 times that amount, or 60 cans daily, every day of their life after day 12 of fetal life (i.e. before birth).

Almost anything can cause long-term health risks and toxicity at such massive exposure levels.

Link to the free Pubmed link to one of the original source studies from 2008 so you can see their methodology and the absurdly massive exposure amounts needed to ovserve these effects:

This is about protecting establishment career politicians, not about what voters want and not about what they are capable of understanding.

Estblishment corporate dems 🤝 All elected republicans:

Twitter: owned by Saudi Arabia, endorsed by the Taliban. Great new tagline!

Found the language prescriptivist! Linguists, let’s all point and laugh at them!

/r/all was unusable without Apollo letting me filter out 90% of the subs that show up there, all ragebait and reposts.

So long gay Bowser

I would be enjoying it more if it wasn’t bought, paid for, and orchestrated by Saudi Arabia in an effort to suppress free speech and democracy.

If you don’t know the difference between leftist and liberal you should probably crack open wikipedia before you try to crack a witty retort.

I think part of that is how popular merchandising like funko pops have become in recent years, Futurama was many years ago at this point.

Second reason is that despite its longevity in the internet consciousness, it’s easy to forget Futurama was fairly unpopular when it was originally airing.

Play it on the couch sitting next to my wife while we watch tv or movies in the evenings.

Spending nights sitting at a desktop (or monopolizing the TV) is frequently impractical and honestly unappealing to me, the SD makes it extremely convenient to play whenever.

The other big appeal is emulation- it wasn’t why I purchased one, but setting up Emudeck and Steam Rom Manager is incredibly convenient and lets you easily run anything up to WiiU/PS3 gen seamlessly from game mode. For that alone I would recommend it, the ease of access and convenience is amazing.

Senkaku islands, there’s pretty regular posturing from both sides over the ownership of a couple barren rocks since they have implications for territorial waters.

Here’s the wikipedia article:

Almost, probably biometrics and passive camera/mic usage

Fewer mobile users maybe? For whatever reason, autocorrect/autocomplete suggestions on iOS always tries to add inappropriate apostrophes to plural words. Without fail, every single time. I sometimes reflexively tap the autocomplete suggestion to finish longer words and it’s really aggravating.

You have to keep in mind Saudi Arabia are the real owners of Twitter, sure their interests are aligned with Musk generally but you’re missing some important context if you boil it all down to Musk.

Oh my sweet summer child

Try to find out as much as you can about what the job/career is actually like, ask people who are in that field, if you can try to get some experience as an intern.

The worst thing you can do is focus on a major without considering what the actual work will be like once you graduate. Even if you love studying a topic, the actual work may be much less fun in practice.

Try to get some part-time experience of your own as you can, even at sub-entry level/intern levels it should help you know better what kinds of jobs you would enjoy full time. It’s often hard to envision a job without having some exposure to the field.

Great point, after all we are all familiar with the historical example of the Hitler Youth overthrowing the government in Nazi Germany.

Delicious pasta

Is that a poop knife I spy to the right of the can?

You’re gonna need it. What’s so bad about lean protein and fiber anyway? 😡

I’m sure it’s purely a coincidence that Twitter and Reddit are both being dismantled a year before the 2024 US election. And that Twitter’s demise was funded by Saudi Arabia.

Musk does seem to relish his chance to play the troll on a global stage, but that’s more of a side perk than the central reason for all of this.

If you declare bankruptcy and owe the bank an amount in excess of their yearly earnings, that’s a bigger problem for them than for you.

What methods do you think could be used to force repayment from the US?

I have not been able to stop playing D4, but Grim Dawn plays absolutely perfectly on the Deck, one of the games I would recommend the most.

The “gh” in Van gogh is the phoneme /x/ which is the same sound as in “loch”, a voiceless fricative sound (“throat clearing” sound).

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiceless_velar_fricative

I would not recommend Lutris/wine for D4 since it tuns perfectly on Proton Experimental, at that point you are just introducing another layer of potential compatibility issues that are completely unnecessary. I tried using Lutris on launch day and it was a total headache with various components being incompatible.

Just install the launcher in desktop mode and add it as a steam game, then set compatibility mode to Proton Experimental. Done.

The only issues I have are with the Battlenet launcher, it sometimes crashes during startup when first opening D4 seemingly at random but once the game is running I don’t have any issues. Currently running it on Proton Experimental.

As far as settings go, at default settings D4 seems to be extremely taxing on the GPU (constant >=97% usage, high temps, crashes regularly after running for a while), although this seems to be common to all systems including PS5/Xbox.

Locking refresh rate and in-game menu FPS to 50fps keeps the power and GPU usage much lower and I get stable performance with no crashes.

Those tags don’t work on Wefwef either ☹️

When you nut but she still Zucc-in

*Saudi Arabia’s Twitter. Who knew a far right authoritarian government would support far right propaganda? I am frankly shocked.

Is there any way to cross-index between kbin/lemmy so that threads show up under All? I joined kbin first but ended up changing to lemmy since the iOS experience was cleaner, it would be nice to make it simpler for the two to interact.

Probably post-release, but don’t quote me on that

Favorite part is that the picture is from when Shaq was on the Celtics

I haven’t seen any (on iOS/Memmy), but I had NSFW turned off on my main instance profile (lemmy.world), not sure if the toggle works within the app. Try turning it off from your main instance in your browser.

Got a source, or did you happen to overhear this bit of conversation yourself?
