That’s not what I am responding to. I am responding to the claim of someone saying politics don’t matter at all to anyone ever. I find a great deal of issue with that
As a sidebar, voting still does matter a lot outside of swing states. Down ballot races are often way closer than you’d think even in deep blue or deep red states. Those local races also have a lot more importance than people think
That’s not at all how the person I was replying to phrased it. They said it didn’t matter for anyone at all ever
That’s what I take far more issue with

EDIT: And to clarify, I am responding to the general claim that none of this matters to anyone ever. That is what I take issue with. The claim the political process as a whole can be ignore despite the consequences of it
Not trans people
Not gay peoole
Not immigrants
Not people on Obamacare
Not people who like having a functional national weather service (Project 2025 wants to eliminate it)
Not the parents of kids in schools (project 2025 wants to also eliminate the department of education)
And so on
You may not think politics affects you, but its outcomes certainly do. Even if it didn’t, someone you care about can absolutely be affected
“Concepts of a plan” is probably the best quote imo
I should have checked further, oops, I changed the title
Not OP, but just made a version of this post that doesn’t give any traffic to elon musk
I’d be inclined to agree. “They’re eating the dogs” is also a good contender to anyone not into misinformation and racism
The X service remains available to the people of Brazil, billionaire Elon Musk’s platform said on Saturday.
Wait so what do they mean by stopping operations in Brazil then? Just the offices and staff? The article isn’t super clear on it
“do all the guys you know wear dresses and makeup like this”
Femboy erasure :(
They do post on Threads and Tiktok and other platforms. They also very much did posted clips of this very interview on Threads
Reminder to always keep up the fight. Even when things seem inevitable, fights can be won. That goes both ways: don’t get complacent and don’t get despaired
Get active, and get involved

Not OP, but as someone who was at one point excited by the potential of crypto, the ecosystem has moved more and more towards what it claimed to stand against initially
It’s supposed to be decentralized, but things like mining pools have lead to heavy amounts of centralization in block production. If we look at Bitcoin, for an example, we see that over 51% of block production is controlled by just two mining pools. That’s not limited to just Proof of Work mining either. Proof of stake sees centralization in staking pools as well. That’s only just looking at one aspect of the network
It has also not really been seen as a currency. People’s view of it as an “investment” which have the opposite qualities you really want to see. People are encouraged to hold it and never let go, meaning they won’t want to spend it which is adverse to its use as a currency. This has also lead to it being incorporated and dominated by the very financial systems it was initially supposed to move away from
I don’t want to type out an essay, but I could keep going on in other ways that’s not really lived up to its promises.
There is one that might actually be helpful for ones using vision systems. Some researchers were able to do prompt injection with text in images that’s basically invisible to humans

Hmm on what keyboard are n and p even that close to each other. Not on qwerty or dvorak. Maybe space and then n? But then wouldn’t that be npurple
Am I reading too much into this? Probably
Related XKCD to my over analysis: https://xkcd.com/1530/
Land usage is still lower
we show that plant-based replacements for each of the major animal categories in the United States (beef, pork, dairy, poultry, and eggs) can produce twofold to 20-fold more nutritionally similar food per unit cropland. Replacing all animal-based items with plant-based replacement diets can add enough food to feed 350 million additional people, more than the expected benefits of eliminating all supply chain food loss.

Complete proteins matter much less than you’d think. As long as you get the other proteins in at some point in the day you are fine. It doesn’t take much for that as just adding rice to beans is enough to make it complete for instance
The bioavaliability of protein metrics are highly misleading when applying them to plant-based foods due to some their assumptions
While multiple strengths characterize the DIAAS, substantial limitations remain, many of which are accentuated in the context of a plant-based dietary pattern. Some of these limitations include a failure to translate differences in nitrogen-to-protein conversion factors between plant- and animal-based foods, limited representation of commonly consumed plant-based foods within the scoring framework, inadequate recognition of the increased digestibility of commonly consumed heat-treated and processed plant-based foods, its formulation centered on fast-growing animal models rather than humans, and a focus on individual isolated foods vs the food matrix. The DIAAS is also increasingly being used out of context where its application could produce erroneous results such as exercise settings. When investigating protein quality, particularly in a plant-based dietary context, the DIAAS should ideally be avoided.

France made a carveout that still allows it :/
An exception to a New Year’s resolution by France to end the massive culling of male chicks will still allow millions to be killed,

Maybe not what you intended, but the phrasing there sounded a lot like saying that. “ignore all of those without it mattering” sounds like saying those topics themselves don’t matter. That’s how I ended up reading it
