  • doesn't look very much like ancient Rome.

  • i think this community is just a mirror of the reddit sub. at least i don't see any meaningful discussion happening here.

    also, my understanding is that stupidpol is a pun on stupid identity politics, and i'd say that not all who criticize id politics are smart to begin with. so maybe if links are confusing it's because the op is also confused.

    (or maybe I'm the dummy here and I've missed the important bits)

  • the difference (in the linked table) appears to be 49 vs 51%. hardly a strong effect

  • regarding immigration. it's sad to see you fall for the nationalist take.

    On The Lausanne Congress

    https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/iwma/documents/1867/lausanne-call.htm

    "The power of the human individual has disappeared before the power of capital, in the factory the worker is now nothing but a cog in the machine. In order to recover his individuality, the worker has had to unite together with others and create associations to defend his wages and his life. Until today these associations had remained purely local, while the power of capital, thanks to new industrial inventions, is increasing day by day; furthermore in many cases national associations have become powerless: a study of the struggle waged by the English working class reveals that, in order to oppose their workers, the employers either bring in workers from abroad or else transfer manufacture to countries where there is a cheap labour force. Given this state of affairs, if the working class wishes to continue its struggle with some chance of success, the national organisations must become international."

  • krass das das Zeug dann immer noch unter dem Namen Choco Crossies läuft. das finde ich doch mal irreführender als Vleischsalat (oder wie dieses Zeug heißt, egal, sollte man eh nicht essen)

  • recently saw something where they said the method was quite effective, i.e. deiceing properly and reducing salt released into the environment, but at the same time it elevated biological oxygen demand. depending on the environment, the later might be worse

  • Name and shame them. Who are they? just that we can about their "services"

  • yeah i agree. but I'd like to highlight that prevention is not a necessarily a question of individual responsibility only. in my mind it's more an issue of society deciding to take action on an issue and using the power of regulations to make them come true. e.g., simply disallowing smoking in certain places, adding these rather gruesome images to cigarette packs (I'm no fan of the increased taxes, as they make cigarettes smuggling attractive). or limiting alcohol advertisement in the public. another example might be the French national(!) government deciding that the number of drownings had become intolerable and that therefore state sponsored swimming pools had to be built. back to obesity: i think the opposition of the food industry to any kind of regulation is quite telling. they gaslight us into believing that it's all a question of individual responsibility and that coca cola can be part of a healthy diet, or that a single serving of chips is about 23.537g , or that ultra high processed food is dubious as a category of discourse, or whatnot. so, no. prevention is a societal effort and the individual responsibility take is highlighted by interested parties.

    it's really is topic doctors should prescribe for those with low blood pressure. https://thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/how-coca-colas-calories-out-myth-backfired-spectacularly/

  • i think we have to differentiate between the scientific (which is difficult in it's own right) and the social discourse. my (hazy) recollection from uni is that prevention is (almost?) always more effective and efficient than treatment, smoking, drinking, sex ed, etc come to mind.

    unfortunately, prevention is heavily underused, as a public health method. i guess there's not enough money to be made in preventing disease instead of curing it. come to think of it, this type of medication is actually gold, as it does not cure anything, but requires constantly taking it. to be clear: the issue is not taking medication which does not cure the underlying issue (your insulin example), but taking medication in lieu of attacking the underlying issue.

    (sorry for rambling a lil bit)

  • the issue here is preventing obesity in the first place instead of doing nothing and then using medication to treat it. it's explicitly not about denying medication to those who need it.

  • hatte dafür vor ein paar Wochen den schönen Begriff "Verlautbarungsjournalismus" hier(?) gelesen

  • started learning French during the pandemic, first with some app but then switched to an 1-1 online course, one hour every week, and stayed with it. right now I'm somewhere at B1 level which might but be much, but suffices for reading (technical) books, newspapers, and everyday communication. i try to listen to a lot of French music (with lyrics on, to help me get into the rhythm if the language and maybe learn some new lingo), watch movies (Love Star Trek), listen to the radio, bla blub.

    the things is to find something you care about in the other language/culture. then, learning the language will give you access to something which is already important to you and keeping up with your learning becomes more easy. my2c

  • happened to me when i handed in my dissertation. spent years writing it, sent it to the printer, checked the proofs, sent it off to the uni's library for storing it (or whatever they do), checked it out later to show it off to my girlfriend: second paragraph, first word, right in the introduction, typo. fml
