Would you say what you’re seeking is “more intimacy,” up to, potentially, the most possible intimacy?

I would suggest looking at his different interests and getting curious. If you’re interested in the guy, it should be pretty easy to find reasons why this film or that game are endearingly-this-or-that in a way that makes you like and respect him even more.

Then, you bond over it; by trusting his taste (intimacy) enough to check out that show or whatever interest, you now have an opportunity to get deep (intimacy) into what you each individually felt (intimacy) about it, and maybe you felt something in common. That’s some foundation for intimacy.

And their point is that they are wrong to do so.

5wim ,

It’s just not the accepted and used English for those actions. If it was something like “rotated” then it would be ambiguous and subject to interpretation, but the word “shook” already has a meaning

5wim ,

Not only is “common” unfortunately not a quantitative assertion (and I disagree), many incorrect usages are “common.”

As earlier stated, obviously some people might use the opposite words for a particular effect.

I’m pretty sure I only said it was wrong.

No barrel makes the whole round detonate. The bullet is ineffective, the “gun” explode :(

5wim ,

How a gun “works” is that a thick-walled chamber houses the cartridge, so that as the powder ignited within rapidly expands (deflagration) there is nowhere for it to go besides violently propelling the projectile into the barrel. If there is no chamber, the thin walls of the cartidge are the path of least resistence, and the bullet likely stays put as the gases escape from cracks in the casing.

So no, while this wouldn’t be “safe” (eye damage comes to mind), there would not be enough energy to significantly wound a human by striking a round’s primer without a chamber.

I’m familiar with every large “delivery app” service, and none involve a situation where the driver fronts their personal money. That’s ridiculous. The app service gives the driver a credit card for situations where in-person payment is required.

They have more protein, fiber, and iron than beef.

Red meat consumption has been shown to increase risks of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and cancer, full stop.

I don’t know what a “health food” would be, but I would probably classify them as foods that are healthier alternatives to foods that are proven bad for your health. Which is what “Impossible” etc. are.

5wim ,

Unfortunately, a lot of people are not well-informed about what “processed” food constitutes, to begin with.

According to the Department of Agriculture, processed food are any raw agricultural commodities that have been washed, cleaned, milled, cut, chopped, heated, pasteurized, blanched, cooked, canned, frozen, dried, dehydrated, mixed or packaged.

As such, most of our diet is processed food, and there’s nothing wrong with that. If there are particular ingredients that have been added in the processing of any consumer product that are themselves bad for your health, I would definitely encourage abstinence from that product.

While vaping is monumentally safer for one’s health than cigarette smoking, both are still a needless introduction of potential harm to one’s health, I agree.

But we must eat food, and the harm from that food being vaguely “processed” versus the harm from it containing ingredients certainly known to contribute to stroke, heart disease, cancer, and diabetes just isn’t a worthwhile comparison.

5wim ,

No, it does not.

The definition by The Global Panel on Agrigulture and Food Systems for Nutrition of “Ultra-Processed Foods” is contingient on those foods being depleted in dietary fiber, protein, various micronutrients, and other bioactive compounds.

While the oreos you’re using in other examples would probably fit that definition, the alternative meats we’re discussing don’t, as they are “processed” to include those constituents.

5wim ,

And?

Your wikipedia links don’t make an assertion. The one on UPF does remind you, though, that

Some authors have criticised the concept of “ultra-processed foods” as poorly defined

The crux of this learning moment for you shouldn’t be about definitions, but the relative “healthiness” of vegan food products.

It’s clear you began with a preference to paint with a broad brush these meat substitute products as “junk food,” and you have the opportunity to recognize they aren’t as obviously unhealthy as you first thought.

Impossible has more salt than beef, but less saturated fat.

Low-effort repost of your specious use of a study with nebulous conclusions for this conversation; I’ll quote the user above:

that category contains “soft drinks, sweet or savoury packaged snacks, confectionery; packaged breads and buns; reconstituted meat products and pre-prepared frozen or shelf-stable dishes.” This gives you no information on Impossible burgers’ impact on cardiovascular disease, it only gives you a trend among people who eat all of the above. I would suspect the reality is Impossible meat contributes to CVD slightly more than straight-up vegetables and significantly less than red meat.

5wim ,

Link a study showing what?

5wim ,

Oh honey, your stealth edit shows that you don’t understand. I’ll explain it to you: the study you keep linking doesn’t differentiate between those foods in that “range of ultra-processed foods (UPF),” so that means data coming from “sugar-sweetened beverages, snacks, confectionery” is getting all mixed in with the data of the “‘plant-sourced’ sausages, nuggets, and burgers,” which unfortunately renders the conclusions of the study rather meaningless when we’re talking about the CVD outcomes of just one of the data sets.

5wim ,

I just told you why the study you linked is invalid for this conversation. Do you want me to quote the comment you just replied to so you can reread it?

5wim ,

Did I ask you to continue providing studies? Agenda? Good luck, friend.

Based on a 100-gram comparison, the Impossible Burger has more favorable stats for protein (17.2 g compared with beef’s 16.8 g), fiber (4.4 g to beef’s 0 g), and iron (3.7 mg to beef’s 2 mg) than traditional beef. It’s also lower in calories with fewer grams of total fat (11.5 g vs beef’s 19.9 g) and saturated fat (5.3 g vs beef’s 7.3 g)

5wim ,

Everything you’re quoting is from the link I posted, saying things I’ve already said in other comments. I’m proud of you for reading the information.

Reminds me of “The Persuaders.” Great book. This comes from a Guardian review on it:

By far the most fascinating and potentially useful case study is that of Anat Shenker-Osorio, the communications strategist for progressive causes, whose tactics, pegged to the data, have exposed a lot of shortfalls in leftwing political campaigning. Shenker-Osorio points out that when people get frightened, they skew right; when they feel compassion and common cause with their fellow humans, they skew left.

How do you get people to wash their vegetables when you're at their house and you don't wanna seem rude?

So awkward, but come on it says right there on the package to wash those mushrooms or whatever it is… You’re not their mom but you don’t wanna eat feces or whatever ended up on the produce. A quick rinse is never going to be perfect but it’s better than nothing....

I think it could very well be dissolving at least a coating. I would use more dilute IPA. 👍

Well, an assumed connection between legality and morality is perhaps part of the disconnect.

Having sex with 16 and 17 year olds is not morally wrong *simply because they are legally considered minors and you an adult.

Having sex with 16 and 17 year olds is considered morally wrong, by some, because the state of their mental maturity is often far below that of an adult even 5 years older. Consider the biological “growth” of the human brain; having not fully developed, their behavioral maturity follows suit. This means their ability to reason, their ability to act in their own best interest, is less than your own. At a certain level of disparity, this imbalance is usually considered “taking advantage” of someone. Asking them to do things they have less an ability to understand than yourself starts to look a lot like coercion.

Or what’s more, “middle class” has always been a concept in capitalism apologia wherein a social group which represents moderation prevents the establishment of a social consciousness of the true strata: rich and poor.

The statistic that the US “middle class” has shrunk 11% in 50 years is a milder one than saying that income inequality is the highest it’s been since 1928.

Wealth inequality is much worse. mkorostoff.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/

Thomas Piketty’s book “A Brief History of Equality” made it clear to me that a mobilization of educated, class-conscious voters (or guerillas) is necessary, but is capable of making painless policy decisions which immediately ameliorate suffering.

5wim ,

This is it, folks

5wim ,

Believe it or not, there have been well-reasoned, aptly articulated arguments against capitalism delivered by earnest, enlightened people (and members of every class), delivered chiefly out of compassion for their fellow man, for over 200 years.

Anti-capitalism sentiment is in no way a transient sensation. It’s clear from your comments you aren’t well-read on the subject, and I don’t mean that as an insult; with some even-keeled reading of relevant works rather than knee-jerk dismissal of all criticism of capitalism as people looking for something to “blame for their woes,” you will undoubtedly have a better grasp on the world and your own position in it.
