They are not mostly sugar, sugars are just a part of the nutrients. Most fruits don’t even have that much sugar in them, it varies wildly though. There is also the way these sugars are intertwined with fiber, that make it much harder for these sugars to be processed in your body. So the sugars are released over a greater period of time giving your body more time to react. as opposed to refined sugars. Fruits are always healthier than candy, cookies, or soda.

There is a lot more in fruits than just sugars, there are proteins, vitamins, minerals, fibers. Which are all necessary for a healthy body. Sugars as well are necessary for your body to function.

It is practically impossible, if you’re otherwise healthy, to eat too much fruit. I personally eat at the very least 3 kilos or 5 pounds of various fruits a week. within an otherwise varied (vegan) diet. I’ve done so for the past 10 years. I make sure to test my blood, and so far had zero issues except low vit. d. Which you can’t get from fruit.

Why is it healthy? Well, we evolved next to fruits. Our ancestors always plucked and eaten them for millions of years. Just like we’ve done with all kinds of plants. Our gi tract is the right length, our body cant make most vitamins itself and completely functions on sugars. Fruit is part of a varied diet.

I really didn’t have to think about it at all, since i used a thing called ‘seeing’. Try it sometimes.

Nah, i just let them die if their hygiëne is so messed up i dont want to give mtm. Like, Im not the fucking ambulance.

you do not understand how much this means to me. incredible.

Okay so mine is so old i can’t really put a finger on where i got it from…It’s a piece of electronic music with a music video that included an Inuit fishing. It must have been from around '97 but could be anywhere in the nineties. In my recollection it was a single on cdrom from The Chemical Brothers. That never yielded any results for me. The second recollection was that it came from a cdrom that accompanied an exhibition on electronic art. Also never yielded any results for me. So, somewhere in my recollection is a couple of electronic notes and an Inuit in the music video. Ive given up searching for it, even though i tried many many times over the years.

1. Power can only travel that far. Electricity gets lost during transport.

2. The sun shines everywhere.

So given these two things there is always a point where it is cheaper to build your own solar system than to get it from far away.

3. There are more renewable sources of power. Wind. Water. Heat.

4. The desert isn’t an euphemism for empty. It’s a climatological zone.

5. There is political power in having control over electricity/power needs. The wild swings in oil prices reflect this fact. Reliance and necessity makes it far more logical to maintain your own source of electricity/power.

He was never in it for personal growth he was in it for financial gains. He was a mere grifter, his opinions were for sale. There is a lot of money in right wing grifting when you reach his level of notoriety. His personal beliefs conveniently always pointed in the direction of money. Worth about $12m when he was executed. He believed in his bank accounts.

Never enjoyed meat and i’ve been vegan for 7 years now. I really couldn’t care less about it. I don’t see the appeal, you’re all just talking like a bunch of junkies.

Enormous potential inside all of us.

Too bad.

Capitalism.

Some sounds just become the thing they are supposed to represent. They aren’t used because there are no more sounds to be made. Two reasons.

First. Directors won’t use a schnauzer as a guard dog in a movie, because they don’t portrait the intention of a guard dog on screen. For exactly the same reason you can’t use a gong as a laser sound, it doesn’t portrait a laser.

Second. People have collected sounds and made them available. There are stock sounds, just like there are stock pictures.

And so, certain sounds have become used for certain things. And the more they are used the more iconic they become. The Wilhelm scream, red tailed hawk, and many more.

Either have the bitter shit and suffer for a little or don’t and suffer longer.

I got mine after having a stable relationship and a partner without a child wish.

i knew from a very young age i didnt want kids, and have always picked partners that shared my view. I also knew that I would make a great dad if it ever came to it. So i never got the snip until i was 39.

I don’t think I would have mind if I did it earlier, but it’s also not as necessary as you think. If you pick your partners carefully and be open about your wishes. This shouldn’t be a real issue. If you are having fantasies about fucking around a lot, you should wear protection anyway. And as a matter of fact, not being snipped will help to wear that shit.

I want to mention lastly, please don’t get into a deep lasting relationship with a person who has a child wish. It will end badly. And keep in mind that people can change their mind, also on this.

Why not add a bluetooth speaker and some search lights, maybe a perfume dispenser and a toothpick holder. fucking genius.

A co worker asked my partner if she could knit her a sweater like the one she was wearing. She wore a gorgeous, fitted, bespoke sweater she made herself. She quoted her 1200 euro. Needless to say, she didnt get the commission.

Okay. But as an individual we still have a choice. And knowing what clearly is worse, while having minimal impact on your life if not doing it. It doesn’t exactly feel like a smart decision, to have red meat/animal products in general. Can i at least call you dumb?

Knife/multitool. There is a plethora of options. I enjoy the classic swiss army knife. Scissors, pincet, knife, saw, bottle opener, pliers… You can get it all in one small package.

Headphones/earphones can’t be an app.

Cup/bottle/thermos/liquid container. Drink more water, enjoy hot coffee.

A skill. Spend time getting good at some random non virtual things, penspinning, coin tricks, cardistry, calligraphy…

Sounds like a one sided arrangement that’s only good for you and not for the cohesion of the group. What’s the actual problem with connecting to/socialising with people?

I get that it’s annoying sometimes, and it’s fine to have limits. But you’re working in a place where other people are working, some people need socialising just like you need space. It’s give and take. You’re just asking for special treatment because you’re introverted?

Sorry but the excuse that it’s ‘just work’ is bullshit. You have responsibility, you’re an adult, different people different needs, be accommodating to get accommodation.

👆🤣

Nobody’s mentioning this but the reason is that when they say ‘next big thing’ what they mean is ‘being able to monetize it and make it profitable’.

They care about usefulness only insofar as its a way to monetize it. It doesn’t need to be useful at all. It’s maybe a nice buzzword for on the PowerPoint slide when they’re trying to convince investors.

But investors aren’t idiots and they are usually pretty fucking tuned in to whatever they put money on. And ai is very oversold and overpromised. It’s not that great, very difficult to get to do what you want, and very costly to operate, with mostly questionable/untrustworthy results that still require a lot of knowledge to be able to work with. Plus it’s begging for a lot of new legislation to protect copyrights and privacy law. So, we need a bunch of idiots with money to make this work and those are usually in the large tech companies (think the bezos and musks of this world). They have the infrastructure and resources to put into it, and then they try to incorporate it into their ecosystem. They’ll probably fuck everything up forever and probably make it so llm’s and other models are going to have to be destroyed to be able to comply to legislation.

Anyone with a brain stays away from investing in this and maybe hedge it a bit. See what happens… I don’t think that there’s going to be other companies popping up in this space. But just the continuing progress of big tech streamlining their current systems until enough people are exposed to enough bullshit to change legislation. Depending on that, maybe some companies will be able to give us something useful like: An ai personal assistant that figured out in the middle of a conversation to put the appointment you made in the agenda, ordered a seat in the restaurant and reroutes you to a gasstation because you’re low on fuel and messages your spouse you’re 5 minutes late because of it.

In the meantime we can make pictures of cats in space wearing a clown costume.
