I still use Firefox on PC and Fennec on my mobile. So far I have no plans to change that.

This sounds like a very weird policy to me. The mails to my account are 99.9…% mails from other services. Registrations, newsletters, order confirmations, password resets etc. If you filter out such mails, the account would be pretty meaningless to me. And if it unlocks automatically, also scammers can wait a couple of days between account creation and using it.

From my experience, Google Scholar (https://scholar.google.com/) is a great place for research. You can just enter some key words (e.g. hba1c) in combination with plant-based, vegan, vegetarian, omnivore etc. and it will show you relevant scientific papers and studies. Still be sceptical with everything you find. Not every study or paper is independent and reliable. As a rough indicator you can look at the number of citations. Typically, good studies and articles are quoted more often.

Wouldn’t it make more sense to look for larger scale scientific studies rather than looking at the values of some selected individuals?

Furthermore, looking at a one time measurement doesn’t make too much sense without context. Like if and how the different values changed over time. Different individuals have different genetics, lifestyles, health backgrounds etc.

Do you have a source for it? As far as I know and also according to Wikipedia, this is not correct.

Direct alcohol tolerance is largely dependent on body size. Large-bodied people will require more alcohol to reach insobriety than lightly built people.

So they don’t accept bills that are larger than the head of a cow. The heads themselves are a perfectly acceptable payment method.

Sure, there you go!

How about this then?

Personally, I’m not offended when referred to as ‘-sexual’. In general, I don’t see my gender as an important part of my identity. I guess I’m ‘just’ cis male but I don’t see that as restrictive in any way.

But thanks for your explanation! Good to know that there’s a negative connotation tied to that term and other people might be offended. I’ll try to keep it in in mind for future discussions. :)

Thank you for the explanation!

Edit: If you don’t mind a follow-on question: Is my former binary definition applicable when we’re talking about ‘transsexual’ rather then ‘transgender’? And when someone says just ‘trans’ in the queer community without any suffix, does that typically refer to -gender or -sexual?

So if I’m born male and identify non-binary, that would be considered trans as well? If I got that right my definition of trans was apparantly too binary. :D

Is ‘non binary trans’ a thing? I hope I don’t offense anyone but so far I though…

• Trans = swap male to female or vice versa
• Non-binary = no defined gender / neither male nor female

If you’re non-binary what do you transition from/to?

Thanks for the explanation. Maybe my example was too extreme but unless they remove everything that’s even slightly controversial, that can give a pretty wrong impression IMO. Wouldn’t be for me at least.

If you consider upvotes but ignore downvotes wouldn’t that give you quite a weird picture in case of controversial posts? Assuming there’s a racist or transphobic post with 100 downvotes and 5 upvotes, would that be displayed as +5? Or does it not show any votes at all?

I use Lemmy a lot to debate or read other people’s perspectives. While content is more important than the vote count, I’m still interested to see what are (un)popular opinions here (knowing that it definitely doesn’t represent the general public!).

Unfortunately, seeing the votes immediately also increases your bias towards posts or comments, so it may have a negative impact on on your individual free thinking.

An ideal compromise for me would be to see how other people voted, but only after I voted myself.

🍌 for scale.

You can be +1. ;)

If it triggers you, than why you don’t stop reading such stuff rather then complaining all day?

edit: This was meant to be a joke, not insulting. Apparantly, it wasn’t the best one, so I apologize. ;)
