While that may be true in many cases, it is important to remember that straight people are perfectly capable of being hateful, homophobic monsters. Placing all the blame of LGBT hate on LGBT people, openly or not, isn’t nearly the whole story.

I actually think your hypothetical smoker is a great example of the opposite. Someone who lived it, understands the struggle, and ultimately regrets their choices is exactly who you want to hear from. It’s why the really cheesy don’t smoke PSAs don’t ring a chord with most people, they don’t feel genuine.
I don’t think Thoreau is some enormous hypocrite, but I do absolutely understand why some people might feel bitter about it when they learn the greater context.
IMO the laundry thing is an easy example of the larger issue of extreme privilege. Being able to live on a rich friend’s property in the woods by a pond sounds awesome. I’m sure I would love that and it would do amazing things for my well-being. But that’s just not a relatable thing for most people and it can really sour the message.
Sounds like a skill issue. Just don’t die and you won’t die.
Except, ideally, a PhD thesis. Which should contain a completely new piece of information for the world.
Asphalt is pretty amazing given the amount of wear it goes through. It’s basically infinitely recyclable, very flexible, goes down fast, and is relatively easy to work with.
Cats don’t have words and get overstimulated easily. Very gentle cats will bat at you or put your hand in their mouth without biting to let you know its time to stop, but others will just aggressively let you know.
People getting together for the common good is just a government, the exact thing libertarians hate.
“Java bad” is a pretty long standing meme. I would guess that most peoples’ only experiences with java are in school and in monstrous, ancient corporate codebases.
Observation is all we have. There’s no indication that anything outside the solar system is different from the things inside of it. Some stars have a light spectrum very similar to our sun, which implies they are stars in similar places in their life. Others have a light spectrum that is very different.
We can use different parallax angles to determine that some stars are much further away than others. Parallax works the same at 10 miles as it does at 10 light years.
Is there some particular observation you don’t understand?
I believe this is suggesting an AI poisoning edit, not removing the image entirely. It should be mostly imperceptible. Plus, you could update with newer methods as they come out.
People have actually become more unhinged: https://www.iata.org/en/pressroom/2023-releases/2023-06-04-02/
Sort of, there’s a long train of things here. The Stonehenge theories primarily come from “Chariots of the Gods?” by Erich von Däniken who stole a lot of the Stonehenge stuff from Robert Charroux who thought that white people were actually descended from aliens and brought technology and civilization to the rest of the world.
In my wood stove, at least, it would drip though into the ash catch, which is a much thinner metal than the cast iron stove body and not really meant to have something actively burning in it. Kerosene also likely burns hotter than wood.
So you’d have a too hot fire burning in all the wrong places in the stove, it might be ok and it might burn a hole through something and start a fire.

I run Lemmy, Plex, and a bunch of other services from a desktop in my basement. It works great. The Lemmy docker setup is a little finicky but works well once you get it.
Digital assistants are good for timers, turning on smart lights, and sometimes playing music. None of those things require a large language model to spit random text back at me.
Check some recent comments, they used the correct term to describe themselves.
Do you want companies to follow the law or not? Why even have truth in advertising laws if no one is going to enforce them?
Yes, mocking him by calling him gay, as an insult. I understand you don’t think that’s an insulting thing to be called and that he would, but using it in a derogatory way at all is still more harmful than helpful.
I’m not calling you hateful or anything, I just wanted to point out the issues with this very common argument.
