Tbf there being lettuce in there is somewhat unconventional in the UK

If there’s any greenery it’s often cress

Though that’s now an egg & cress rather than an egg mayo

I’m good with the ActivityPub threadiverse tyvm

Primary sources tend to disagree

Here’s a study from 2019 about it that backs up my assertion that more is conservative https://academic.oup.com/joc/article/69/2/168/5425470

And of that propaganda being created, that conservative inclined people are most likely to fall for it: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/20563051231220330

There seem to be plenty of other papers that more or less reach those same conclusions with a good number of citations, but I can’t find anything really at all on Google Scholar concluding the opposite with a quick search, let alone something also credible.

The closest some papers come is saying that they try groups all over the political spectrum, as their goal is disunity ultimately, but they seemingly don’t really have any kind of continued success with misinforming those groups anywhere near as effectively. They more or less all end up concluding that most of the propaganda targets conservatives, because they’re the ones that fall for it.

Remember every time we find Putin backed propaganda outside of Russia in the wild, it’s nearly always boosting predominantly conservative viewpoints versus anything else.

Outside of their borders they’re more interested in people fighting with each other than anything like coming together. Right wing politics is how they do that

Whole fruits are pretty healthy in reasonable moderation

if you gorge on 3 boxes of grapes you’re still gonna have smashed through over a thousand calories

The big caveat is fruit juices which remove all the fiber that makes you feel full, particularly anything concentrated.

At that point you’re getting closer to a soft drink than fruit (though you’ll still at least get the vitamins)

🤨

I’m with you mate, inkjet paper is just paper

Photo paper is photo paper

100% of the time this is true.

The fact the title says photo paper and the body says inkjet paper further implies we’re talking about two different things

This is a very good question that I’m now curious about

You do know that advertisers want the ads to be as intrusive as they can make them? Right?

A successful no confidence vote in the UK triggers an election at the earliest opportunity

I bet you if it exists, the Scottish soft drink company Barr probably makes it

It’s been absolutely years since I had either, but I reckon Tizer is probably not too far off that red bull taste. I might be completely misremembering though

I was on call during a work team night out at a darts place and had to get on the WiFi there to check it out an incident

It was one of those ones that has a camera for action replays and I’m in the background of one tapping away

Can’t ban Molotovs if it comes to it

“immigration is why our lives are getting worse”

Very clear indicator that someone has barely attempted to understand how the world works

I try to do every 6 weeks

If I’m going to a wedding or something at the 4+ week mark I’ll get it done early

If I don’t get it done until 8+ weeks it starts to get into an unmanageably scruffy zone

Yep that’s exactly it, it’s hard to convince people to pay for any service on the internet, let alone for something like privacy that many users have been conditioned to not value at all.

Genuinely surprised to see this exists, SOLIDWORKS seems to always be in the same “hard no” category as Adobe software in every one of these kinds of threads I’ve seen over the years. This is literally the first time I’ve ever seen a response with a potential solution.

I wonder how well it works (Just out of curiosity, I don’t do CAD myself)

I’m glad it went the way it did, because otherwise I’d be suggesting you get clumsy with your next coffee

Big tech in 2025 makes its money from invading privacy and there’s an increasing demographic of users that don’t see any value in protecting their data from harvesting for some reason

You only have to look at a company like proton who provide a pretty comprehensive suite of privacy focussed software, and yet they’re still very much a niche player in the wider tech industry

The reason is greed, wealth facilitates the accumulation of more wealth.

Significant wealth needs to be taxed asap or the next generation will know nothing but perpetual poverty from birth until death.
