The study methodology is really flawed. They polled people on what they had for dinner "yesterday" and used that be indicative of entire diets of all Americans.
While it's likely that there are some Americans who eat far more beef than some others, this data is a farce.
The ADL absolutely needs to do better in order to accomplish it's admittedly daunting mission.
Elon Musk allows actual Nazis on Twitter.
Yanno, I never thought about players approaching this without having D&D experience... this must be quite overwhelming for them!!
I've played D&D across 4-5 editions (depending how you count 3 vs 3.5) and even I make very suboptimal plays compared to some of my buddies. For the folks who step in without any idea of the spells and abilities, it's gotta be pretty challenging to wrap your head around what spells you should be casting when and what to expect as an effect.
How are y'all making out? I'd guess you'd read the different descriptions of each spell or ability and slowly parse together what works and what doesn't, but is it too daunting? Do you feel overwhelmed by it? Do you feel like you're coming to a better understanding as time goes on?
There's a wise saying I try to recall when I'm daunted by the scale of a task and my seeming inability to affect the outcome.
"You are not obliged to complete the work, but neither are you free to avoid it."
Look buddy, I made it very clear the sensible people don't reply, they just move on. We're clearly not in that group! 🤣
But I wanna see fewer posts about China politics good or China politics bad and more posts about Chinese food good, here's how to make some.
I think there absolutely is a contingent of Communists, especially new "converts" who get over zealous about their newfound ideology and veer into some flippant and ignorant hyperbole.
And I think there absolutely are groups of left-leaning folks who are still well and deep in the Red Scare culture.
Part of the issue is that many more... reasonable (for a lack of a better word) people see hyperbole and inanity and just close the post or not respond and the comments and posts tend to come from more passionate folks from the different camps of thought.
Yeah, lemmy is a bit tricky for me to learn how to use versus Reddit, I'm still curating my feed as well. But it sucks to go online to look at and talk about things you like and having to confront some bullshit. I hope folks figure out a solution that is simple and works well for most.
Hey, I'm gonna be real honest, this simple sentence really helped explain part of the whole Lemmy federated instances thing to me.
Yeah, I bet that's the case. I think folks are hollering at the moon because I literally can't see the posts they're complaining about!
I wonder if this is why I'll see a post has a larger comment count than the comments I can read, too.
Ahh, someone willfully misconstruing my point and twisting it into something vulgar, it's like I never left Reddit at all!
I see far FAR more people complaining about tankies and posts talking shit about tankies than I ever see posts or comments by tankies.
It's honestly tiresome.
I like beef ground beef for most applications, but an impossible burger is just fine at a BBQ where I'm drinking and I prefer the meat substitute for mapo tofu. Idk why, but it just works better for that dish.
