They're fighting a losing battle, but I hope a side effect of it is that new people come in and change both the economics and artistry of Hollywood. Most Hollywood content sits in a very rigid box. It's repetitive, unoriginal, and unappealing. People are encouraged to eat ramen for every meal in order to "make it", simply because far too many of them try (which is partially the result of the "follow your dreams" narrative in America as well). The further down you are, the worse your compensation. Good ideas get missed or thrown out and relegated to dollar theatres all the time.

If this strike goes on long enough that it starts to flush people out, I'm ok with that. Sucks for the people who are going to lose their livelihoods, but for some of them that was an eventuality. Hopefully in the end creators will have more creative freedom and receive more proportional compensation.

I used to eat meat. Don't anymore because the arguments against it are just that fucking strong. Basically unless you advocate for religious supremacy it's hard to make a cohesive argument in favor of meat consumption.

I would disagree on the grounds that this will functionally just break up the community, which is the best outcome. People will get bored and move on to the next thing, and both reddit and discord will lose.

When I was a kid my teacher told my parents "she has something that nobody else at her age has, and that's genuine empathy". Now I'm an adult so it's not an applicable compliment anymore, but I still appreciate that comment, and I'd like to think it was true.

Omg I JUST did this, though she was in grade 12. Basically did all the work knowing that she wouldn't graduate if she didn't hand it in. If I'm honest it bothers me because she didn't deserve to graduate, and I don't like the idea of enabling someone's bad habits and she makes a habit of skating by, but I couldn't help myself. Not having a high school diploma is a death knell for so many things, and I think there was a very good chance that she wouldn't have gone back to finish school. I don't know if I made the right decision or if she just needed to learn a life lesson and experience some real consequences, but alas here we are.

Macronutrients are not what makes a food healthy. In particular, high-protein does not make a food healthy. By that reasoning a lot of fast food could be considered insanely healthy, but it's not. That's just our downright shitty levels of education surrounding nutrition.

What actually makes a food healthy depends on a lot of different factors, but a common one and relatively reliable standard bearer is whether it is "nutritious". When a food is nutritious or nutrient dense, it is micronutrient dense. This includes things like spinach and beans and seeds and broccoli and all of the other foods that your parents made you eat. Micronutrient poor foods are ones that have relatively few micronutrients, but usually are relatively calorie rich. This includes things like mozzarella sticks, wonderbread, fruit gushers, heavy cream, twinkies, and so on. We do need macronutrients, but virtually anyone who gets enough energy (calories) from food also gets enough of them, except in specific cases like being a professional athlete. The athlete wouldn't die of protein deprivation if they didn't pay attention to their intake, but it would make it harder for them to perform well.

So no, chicken is not, by any standard, "really nutritious and healthy". It's not completely devoid of nutrients - it's relatively rich in phosphorus and selenium if you eat it on its own, for example, but it's far from what anyone would consider nutritious. It's somewhere in between fried mars bars and spinach.

Sure, I'll add that.

The big name movies now are so cringeworthy and require zero thought on the part of the viewer. I'd be almost embarrassed to go watch them. The worst part is that I used to watch them because there was just nothing else to see, until one day I was so bored that I walked out of the theatre. To my surprise, I was even approached and given a refund by the manager without asking... maybe they watched it too and understood the pain.

Supreme court cases. There are some real doozies, not that anyone irl cares.

I would also say that I don't think people SHOULD be risking their lives at this point. We're looking at a case of people who took an informed risk and understood that there was danger associated with the recreational activity they were undertaking. These people either had vast monetary resources and could have consulted the best experts in the world, or had significant prior experience and knowledge. While obviously withholding information interferes with informed consent, and that may or may not have played a role, I don't think this is morally equivalent to rescuing someone from a burning building. There's also simple probability - the odds of rescuing them alive and well aren't good, and to put someone else's life at risk for the off chance that they succeed would be unethical in my opinion.

I'm not familiar with the mechanics of this sub obviously, but I'm given to understand that an emergency ascent should have been initiated by this point if everything was fully functional. That probably points to a design flaw - you should always keep those systems as independent of each other as possible so that if one fails, you can fall back on the other. Of course it's possible that they've since ascended and haven't been found, or got stuck, but assuming they haven't that could imply that the sub experienced an insurmountable failure and they're looking for people who are either gone or near-unrescuable.

By this magic where they OPERATE IN EUROPE.

Sorry, unfortunately nutrition is more complex than what you can sum up in a few sentences. To answer that though:

• Chicken isn't categorically "unhealthy" in the same way double stuf oreos cooked in lard are - I said in another comment that it's the ultimate neutral food, and if you look at its profile I think that's a fair statement. It's not completely devoid of nutrients, it has a couple of things in significant quantities - phosphorus, selenium, and B3 for example - but overall it's not very nutrient dense. It doesn't have a ton of huge negatives either - a bit of saturated fat, but nothing to write home about. If you're looking at a "Hitler-Hanks" spectrum where the lard oreos are on one end and a spinach chia seed broccoli whatever salad on the other, then chicken is probably right in the middle somewhere. Its D&D alignment is True Neutral. The point I was making in my earlier comment was that "protein" doesn't make a food healthy, and that there's a lot more to it than that, and if people use that mental shortcut they might end up making misinformed decisions.

• The nutritional profile of chicken would be a lot to type out, but you can look at the NCCDB or Cronometer Gold (which uses NCCDB among others) for an elaborate breakdown. Just keep in mind that it doesn't capture everything - it's an amazing tool, but it won't cover the catechins in your tea, for example.

Ultimately though, if you're reading this, let me take this opportunity to encourage you to GO SEE A REGISTERED DIETITIAN. Your insurance will often cover 80+% of your first appointment, but even if they don't it's an amazing investment. You'll live longer, probably spend less on food, and spend a lot less on hospital bills after your first heart attack.

And not even a real internet forum with some connection to the world, like a forum for engineers or something, but just these generic cat video style forums that don't really add huge value to anyone's life. Your entire existence is to fill the 30-second void for people standing in elevators.

BEANS

Addictive carbs and salt, dirt cheap, and healthy as shit. Also convenient and compatible with most dietary/ethical restrictions.

If you learn to like beans when you're 20 and throw it into an index fund, you'll have a modest retirement fund just on the money you saved (yes, I calculated it based on money saved and growth of the S&P).

Lean protein =/= healthy. Like, at all. This is a myth from the freaking 1980s. Nutritional profile is a breakdown of the micronutrients that a food has, and it determines whether a food is "nutritious" and therefore, in general terms, "healthy".

Please, oh please, don't go around telling people that food is healthy if it is a lean protein. I'm sure it's well intended, but it's also misinformed. If you want to learn about how to assess whether a food is healthy, go make an appointment with a dietitian - your insurance will often cover the first appointment.

That is an objectively sad life. Imagine people asking what you did with your life and your answer is "I had imaginary power on a now-defunct internet site doing unpaid work day in and day out. I spent hours upon hours of my life creating charts that only apply in this digital universe to make myself feel important while people who scrolled my page for five minutes a day on the subway were out doing things in the real world".

Golden comment.

It's also just addictive. I don't think all mods are "power hungry" in a bad sense - certainly many of them mod communities well and responsibly, but most of the ones that put in a lot of time are hooked to that community for one reason or another - either it gives them a sense of accomplishment or it's comfortable and familiar or they just feel valued there. It's easy to slip into that trap.

Right but you can consume cannabis in tons of different ways - cookies, cocktails, etc. Restaurants had smoking areas for decades with far worse air filtration systems.

That's actually really interesting, I like it. I'm trying to brainstorm areas where I've neglected to consider associated costs. Probably cooking for me? I have a strong tendency to get culinary inspiration and drop way more cash than I intended on all the things I didn't realize I would need.

If it's all the same to you a higher ratio of quinoa is preferable.

Ramen is NOT healthy though my dude. Ramen with an egg on top is empty carbs in a bath of salt water and cholesterol, with very little nutritional integrity to speak of.

I don't care what people consume, unless they're telling other people things that aren't true. Eat a twinkie-only diet if you want - if you're happy then I'm happy for you. If not, go talk to a dietitian and educate yourself.

Can I kindly suggest maybe making a guideline post as to what constitutes "healthy"? It was really sad to see all of the people on the previous sub posting their supposedly "healthy" meals that weren't anywhere close to healthy. I get that there's a need to leave room for people who are starting at zero and still improving, but it also shapes people's perceptions in a very real and misguided way. If reliably sourced and well moderated that would make the space a lot better.

Not really, otherwise every underwater vehicle would have one. It can just as easily put the vessel in peril. Subs don't just go straight down into an empty ocean - they typically drift substantially, maneuver, and run into "traffic".

Thanks, I'm aware. There's a couple of links in the post already.

Yeah, that's an issue. It's hard to say no sometimes.

I'd have men wear more turtlenecks, and tighter jeans. Doesn't need to be TIGHT, just not the insanely baggy styles that have been around for the past 20 years. And turtlenecks... they have the effect of making a guy's shoulders look broader. People underestimate the effect of shoulders on appearance as a whole, in both men and women. If you're a guy with rounded or somewhat narrower shoulders, turtlenecks are your best friend. You can also wear slightly wide-cut t-shirts, or sweaters that have a looser fit at the top or with a logo/detail right underneath where your neck ends.

Can we also do this for women?

But are those the things that get marketing? I'm with you on loving that content, but none of the main theatres in my area (a city of 7 million) even show them. A couple will put them into the standard screen theatres at oddball times to fulfill their contracts, but the good content is in the local dollar theatres where, of course, the movie gets less traffic.

I think what they're saying is that the movies that you're "supposed" to watch are things like those god awful Harry Potter prequels (literally any fanfic amateur could have written them better), the ten thousandth Marvel movie (seriously, just stop), or those Adam-Sandler style low effort white trash movies that run solely on the recognition of the probably male and supposedly "so talented" lead actor.

I don't know if this is the case everywhere, but here a lot of chains are switching to doordash partnerships, which is just gross. At this point I'll stop ordering delivery/takeout from any chain that does this because I'm just that disgusted by Doordash and Uber.

On the bright side, if you're in a city, usually there are more than enough delivery co-ops or in-house delivery services available that it's not too painful to ditch delivery apps.

Some sort of gates. Really depends.

A matter of perspective, you see.

This is primarily meant for people to organize themselves online. Local networks already exist and those are the channels through which protests have traditionally gone. Organizing the internet tends to be a bit messier, but when it works it's usually via several "hubs" (think fucknestle, save3rdpartyapps, etc.).

I mean everyone says "omg they're crazy", but it's so easy to say that, and all of us have at least a few things that we'd be willing to do that an onlooker could point to and say "lol why do that when you might die".

There's nothing wrong with taking an informed risk, and it's really up to you what kind of risk you're comfortable taking. Most of these people seem to have a consistently high risk tolerance, and three of them were very experienced, so I don't think it's fair to call them "stupid" or "idiots" just because your risk/reward assessment doesn't line up with theirs. If that was their idea of living the best life possible, then that's good for them.

Chicken has been heavily, heavily marketed as a health food, and while it's not the worst thing you could eat, if you actually look at its nutritional profile it's not particularly nutritious or "healthy". That's just Tyson Foods & co working their magic. It's more like the ultimate neutral food - nothing terrifying, nothing great, a bit like its taste.

OK... I mean if you don't understand the internet then there's not a lot I can do to help you.
