The quantity doesn't seem right to me, a normal american peanut butter jar is about 2 pounds. I feel like if the only thing you eat in a day is peanut butter that by itself would be about a half a jar right? Calories would put it at ~1/3 a jar for daily caloric intake but obviously you're going to overshoot if you're eating straight peanut butter. Half a jar in a week just doesn't sound that crazy to me, thats barely over 2 servings/day.

Also peanuts are low in oxalates compared to other nuts. The number I keep finding for a low oxalate diet is 100 mg/day. Apparently 200-300 is a typical amount. The highest number I found is 20mg of oxalate to a tablespoon of PB so 2 pounds a week is only 160mg/day unless I messed up the math.

*I think what happened here is OP is either predisposed to kidney stones and is generalizing the special diet they should be on to everybody else or is just overweight and leaving out that detail since everything I'm reading about NAFLD is that it's caused by obesity not oxalates.

Have to respect someone getting in on grifting conservatives without even endorsing their views in the process.

I wish I could find a city that actually enforced noise ordinances against loud vehicles. Every city I've lived in has been way too fucking loud for me to handle, so now I have to drive everywhere because the alternative is live in a city and be driven insane by noise pollution.

It's not abuse to feed an animal a nutritionally complete diet. There is no magical nutrient that exists in animals that cannot be artificially synthesized. Just because you don't care about animal suffering doesn't make it necessary or justified.

Even if that was true, you're still killing other animals which is obviously more harmful/abusive to them than not giving them their favorite food instead of the same nutrients in a different package.

Ah yes, its the people that are against harming animals that are the real animal abusers.

Feeding an animal a nutrionally complete diet: abuse

killing animals: not abuse

It's so funny that they're the largest instance. Only see incredible decisions coming out of there.

from the OP

a pack of vegan burgers, these are more expensive than regular burgers!

I don't think they meant fish burgers when they said regular burgers. And sugar isn't generally considered a vegan substitute for an animal product.

Red meat and processed meat are classed as carcinogenic and have plenty of LDL cholesterol. Its not that hard to be healthier than that.

That's the core of the substack you posted, that's the whole idea. Even the submission title you chose is just 'it doesn't matter if they're genuine or not because they're basically bots'

Recognize the doomers, and ignore them. Most of them are not human, most of the humans are not American, and none of them care. They are like a pothole in the road: there is no point reasoning with them.

People are already way too quick to call everything a bot/propaganda/a russian op, they do not need more encouragement to think less.

Ok you're now trolling about as hard as that guy trolled the people brigading his community. So what does that make you?

At least I'm not such a dumbass that I think actively avoiding challenging your beliefs is a good thing. "Engaging with ideas sounds hard :( never think again bestie its bad for you"

Ok, you've apparently latched onto my explanation of why I thought that guy wasn't a bot. Could you maybe respond to the comment you're replying to instead?

Then again why am I surprised you're not interested defending your idea. Your whole thesis is "if they don't already agree they should be ignored." I'm obviously one of the russian bots to ignore.

'Everything I don't like is fake news' is dumb when they do it and enlightened when I do it.

The example you linked is satirical semi-surrealist shitposting, there's nothing really there to engage with. It's just making fun of democrats for willfully ignoring her complicity and rhetoric regarding the genocide. Or maybe you're confused, I meant their comment replies were trolling the people brigading that community not the post as a whole.

But more generally you're basically advocating reducing politics into team "vote blue no matter who" and team "russians/bots/traitors/other enemies". Oh this person is mocking Kamala, therefore they basically aren't human.

Or alternatively "this either confirms my biases or is bad-faith and should be ignored"

Does he think people are just switching their brains to 'flow-state'? Did he hear about meditation for the first time? No idea what he's talking about.

"Everything I disagree with is either a russian bot or functionally a russian bot" as an alternative to critically thinking about new information/other opinions is actually insidious and far more dangerous to democracy than misinformation. This is just the other side of the coin to trumpers calling everything they don't like fake news.

Oh wow somebody trolling the libs in his replies, truly inconvertible proof of russian bots on lemmy. I've known multiple people who share this exact sense of humor and would post like this.

How can you read "Thank you for engaging with my fascist propaganda that’s designed to cause a catastrophe in Gaza!" and not clock that he's trolling.

*ok I see I missed your point. It's not that they're a russian bot, it's that criticism from the left = maga = russian bots because any opposition to Harris is functionally the same. Criticism of complicity in a genocide is the same as saying don't vote for her she's secretly trans or whatever the actual maga crowd is saying about her. Truly its impossible for two things to be bad at once.

Crucially: let me have the damn files.

Why would I pay to use your awful webreader or streaming client when reader apps with good UI and quality video players exist.

Very cool that every institution will continue to act as if SSNs are private information and you can't get a new number issued until after someone uses it to steal your identity.
