Canada@lemmy.ca•Europe and Canada Are Finally Saying No to the U.S. F-35 Stealth Fighter, Motivated By a Desire For “Strategic Autonomy”English
71·4 hours agoThe F-35s have been the kid in a toxic custody trial for fucking ever, already costing billions more than expected. The same shit happened over the F-22 and we’re still using goddamn F-18s.
In the year 2125 we’ll finally welcome in a new fleet of F-69’s to retire a squadron of Hornets being held together by spit and glue.

It goes by percentage of body volume. To save money simply chop off your leg to become 4-12% more penis.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Should I try to reconnect with a friend who's chosen to self isolate?English
10·1 day agoSpeaking as someone with recurrent severe depression, my closest friends are the ones who harass me with their love. That said, I would never want someone to try to reach me through my family. Her situation might be different.
Depression is very isolating, it can make you feel unworthy of being around people because you can’t be fun, and you get anxious about making “mistakes.”
My favorite people are the ones who randomly show up, drag me out, ask me for help with something (introvert cheat code,) and buy me games without asking so we can play together.
If she’s an adult, she’s capable of telling someone to back off if it’s too much.
I know how serious it can get. One of my roommates got diagnosed with celiacs while we were living together, we all had to learn a whole lot about food. He was out for two days when someone got bread crumbs in the butter.
He loves the fad because of all the gluten free options.
As far as I know, all allergies are immune diseases. Intolerances and sensitivities have different mechanisms. An immune diease is when the immune system attacks healthy cells, and an auto-immune diease like celiacs is when the immune system attacks itself. I believe there’s some evidence that non-celiacs gluten allergy could have auto-immune aspects.
Conservisplanation
It is a God given fact that:
Penis = man
Vagina = woman
*Intersex = not part of the data
∴ more penis = more man
Meaning some men are more woman than trans women, so it’s epistemologically easier to ban the heretical practice of making a conservative think.
This is my favorite dick cheney deathpost so far.
I leave peanuts for crows because one time I fed a crow and it said “thank you.”
That’s a great point, too. Our digestive systems didn’t evolve as fast as food processing.
I researched the gluten thing because I was a chef around the time it took off in my part of the world, and almost had to fire a line cook when he flat out refused to follow protcol because of the gluten study.
I wasn’t super on board at the time, but now I think we should just listen to people. They know their bodies even if they don’t understand the mechanisms.
I love Marcus.
The whole gluten thing is pretty interesting.
Low carb diets led to commercial production on non-wheat breads in the western world, creating more options for people with celiacs and increasing public awareness of gluten allergies. With more bread options some people noticed they felt better after chowing non-wheat bread.
Without a lot of health info and bullshit american healthcare, they figured they had gluten allergies or celiacs and adjusted their diet accordingly.
A widely publicized study on non-celiacs gluten allergies found no gluten allergy, media took it out of context and implied those people were full of shit. This polarized the public against anyone claiming a gluten allergy.
But! More and more people self-diagnosed gluten allergies, and more study led to discoveries on how fermentation helps digestion (like with sourdough), that parts of grains contain enzymes that aid digestion, found industry-wide problems with undercooked grains, and allergies to different classes of grains.
So it was healthier for a lot of people, they just didn’t know why.
