Once I started using Lemmy I never touched Reddit again. So I guess Lemmy.

YES

At least if we go off the Lemmy definition. I don’t self identify.

I didn’t think it was a choreographed publicity stunt. I just know Altman has used AI fear in the past to keep people from asking rational questions like “What can this actually do?” He obviously stands to gain from people thinking they are on the verge of agi. And someone looking for a new job in the field also has to gain from it.

As for the software thing, if it’s done by someone it won’t be openai and megacorporations following in its footsteps. They seem insistent at throwing more data (of diminishing quality) and more compute (an impractical amount) at the same style of models hoping they’ll reach some kind of tipping point.

This fear mongering is just beneficial to Altman. If his product is powerful enough to be a threat to humanity then it is also powerful enough to be capable of many useful things, things it has not proven itself to be capable of. Ironically spreading fear about its capabilities will likely raise investment, so if you actually are afraid of openai somehow arriving at agi that is dangerous then you should really be trying to convince people of its lack of real utility.

You are paying for way more than the sum of the parts when you order a cocktail, I’m not really sure why you’d suddenly be concerned about doing so when it comes to a mocktail.

I rarely get sick, but I’m not going to speculate why, and I wouldn’t recommend taking advice from a thread like this. You can’t really know all the mechanisms behind why you get sick or not. There are people who smoke two packs a day and are rarely sick, and I’m sure some of them attribute that to smoking.

You could probably just output OBS to a virtual webcam and just do a regular video call over Discord.

The health of the baby mostly comes down to the health of the mother (yes breast milk is vegan), and I’d wager vegan dieters on average to be more knowledgeable about nutrients than your average person. Being deficient in nutrients at such a young age, especially in the womb, can cause permanent damage. So knowing where the gaps are in what you eat and properly supplementing is important, which doesn’t just apply to vegans.

On a vegan diet nutrient toxicities from things like iron and vitamin A are less of a concern as well because of the form they are consumed in, as well as toxicity from minerals that shouldn’t be there that become concentrated in herbivores and even more so in predators. Also there is a protective effect to certain foods like soy at a young age, where the reverse is true of say dairy.

The essential oils thing in the meme is concerning though. First of all I would associate that with someone who consumes a vegan diet for mystical reasons, probably one containing mostly or all raw food. On such a diet it can be hard to consume enough food for one individual, and now you have to eat enough for baby as well. The other thing I’d be concerned about is toxicity with the oils, especially if they are poorly tested and contain things that aren’t supposed to be present in a significant amount.

Tofu should be cheaper than meat (like $2-3/lb, and maybe cheaper at Asian grocers), dehydrated soy products like TVP are even cheaper.

Beans and lentils are some of the cheapest foods available both by calorie and by gram of protein, this is doubly true if you get them dry.

Nuts can be expensive by weight, though they are very calorie dense. Peanuts and peanut butter are usually quite cheap, some stores might have cheap mixed nuts as well.

Leafy greens don’t pack many calories but are fairly close to being just protein and fiber and also very nutritionally complete. They also aren’t expensive, I regularly get bunches of kale for under $2 for example.

Pretty much every whole food contains every essential amino acid, you just have to be careful with overeating certain grains like wheat and rice which are low in one or two specific aminos and overeating fruit which is low in protein in general. If you specifically want high protein you eat lots of legumes, nuts, and non starchy vegetables (especially dark leafy greens like spinach and kale). If you want really crazy protein go for stuff like tofu and other refined products.

Amoretto sour or gin gin

Needs more legumes, nuts and or seeds, maybe some starches and fruit.

They aren’t vegan judging by the crazy amount of cheese. Also you can eat an entirely plant based diet that is both high in protein and very cheap.

I’ve heard the term fellas used a lot specifically to delineate something as gendered. “It’s for the fellas” = “It’s a dude thing”

Seems to be working now. Only issue I have with it is it isn’t quite obvious when a post is considered scrolled past. Seems you have to scroll 1-2 posts beyond a post being completely off your screen. But at least things are getting hidden now.

Please explain how Xi is like Mao? I don’t even mean this in a good/bad way, just like specific similarities. Cuz it really just sounds like you think both Mao and Xi bad and so you are just saying Xi bad in a really roundabout way.

Christianity isn’t a book or a simple code of ethics, it is an evolving culture composed of living individuals and historical actions. It’s also composed of subcultures, many contradictory. Saying “Christians should be this” isn’t very useful, Christianity is what it is, and it’s up to Christians to determine where it goes.

Have you considered that Reddit is full of toxic incels propagandized to by GG?
