I assume you mean you can’t see it on discuss.online

This is because that server defederated from lemmygrad.ml see https://discuss.online/instances for a list of instances that discuss.online blocks. This also means that op cannot read this thread.

To be fair, the food butternut squash is doing fine even though it contains the phrase “nut squash”

I’m generally against the idea of planting as many trees as possible.

Trees are not very good carbon sinks because they decompose and burn. Also, there are also some ecological communities where adding trees makes the land a worse carbon sink.

Avoiding cutting down forests to build suburbs is something I can certainly get behind though.

Snuggling – never. And this doesn’t apply only to men, it applies to women whom I don’t find attractive as well.

What about nonhuman animals? Do you dislike cuddly dogs?

Yes, so I can probably plan for it.

Good idea! I bet you could make good ad library by comparing the audio between episodes of the same podcast (to catch the ads read by the host) and between different podcasts (to catch the targeted ads inserted into a lot of podcasts)

I’m not suggesting static timestamps, but small audio files of the podcast about to enter, and just exited an ad.

The app could then search for the clips in the podcast to get the timestamp.

If there are copyright issues of sharing small clips, you can just save a hash of a clip, which will allow the app to find a match, but is not itself the Intelecual property of the podcaster; The hash cannot be turned back into the audio file. The hash would be smaller than the audio clip anyway, so sharing hashes would be better

Maybe if you could distribute audio files (or hashes of audio files) that mark the start and stop of ads, that would solve the problem.

I guess podcasters could combat this by inserting random noise into their audio files, but they probably wouldn’t do that.

I have, it’s surprisingly easy to eat only once a week. I lost a lot of weight, but then gained it back after I went back to eating every day.

Wow I thought you meant the 6502 computer, but it looks like that’s the original one made of logic gates and shift registers, right?

I’m not sure eating is normal for a large majority of people.

For example, about 3/4 of Americans are overweight

I would take “Public health care” to mean the government runs all healthcare services.

Single payer means public health insurance, and the absence private health insurance. From the perspective of a private (or public) hospital, there is one payer: the federal government.

You should not use any communities on real instances since people will see your testing on their local page.

Ebike subsidies take no time. Increaseing bus frequencies is a bit faster (depending on local job markets). Painting bike gutters is pretty fast. Putting some traffic cones for modal filters is pretty fast.

It’s true that this change will be tough for poor people who bought cars in the short term. But it’s good for poor people who didn’t buy cars in the short term (which is a lot of people with the most need). And good for all poor people in the long term.

If you want to help poor people, subsidizing an antisocial form of transportation that some poor people use is not a good choice.

Making cars mandatory fucks over working class people.

The government should stop subsidizing driving and put that money into a form of transportation that doesn’t require 10k a year for citizens to participate.
