Thanks for the warning, didn’t know that was a thing!

Oh really? I didn’t know they made it without. I just checked mine and it says it has >100% of all the b complex vitamins in a serving (2 tbsp). I do live in the US but I got mine online.

Once you discover nutritional yeast it’s hard not to get enough B12.

When people complain about vegan diets lacking in x, y, or z I always point out that our diets are culturally balanced, as well as being balanced by the addition of vitamins to staple foods. If we all became deficient in say, iron, we would start fortifying iron in our water, flour, salt, rice etc, while at the same time we would culturally move towards eating more black beans and spinach than we currently do. When an individual removes a food group from their diet, it’s only reasonable that you will have to intentionally rebalance your diet in other places. This isn’t a deficiency inherent in a vegan diet.

If you have to supplement a vitamin or mineral that’s just part of your diet, so don’t @ me with your natural=good nonsense.

I guess you don’t know what a Continuous Glucose Monitor is. It’s a medical device that is attached to my arm with an adhesive pad that monitors my blood sugar continuously, and reports it over bluetooth to my phone. What you’re talking about is a glucometer which I also have (freestyle lite)

Reading my blood sugar off my CGM without taking my insulin pump out of my pocket is huge actually. I’m using a $25 pinetime for that.

Recently there’s been a push on Linux for containerized “apps” that come bundled with their dependencies windows style. Ubuntu has been the one really pushing this with their implementation called “snaps” which has made a lot of people very angry and is widely regarded as a bad idea.

Broke: “corporations are people”

Woke: “Militaries are people”

Laws that aren’t intended to be actually enforced, but serve as cover for a search or whatever other cop activity. Seat belt, drug, and helmet laws for example. I don’t think it’s even about tickets it’s just reason to pull you over and brow beat you for a while.

You’re telling me the state that doesn’t give a fuck if I die from gesticulates generally around suddenly cares whether I make a personal decision about my own safety?

This is coming from someone who wears his seat belt 100% of the time and gets car sick if I don’t, who has been ticketed for not wearing one even though I was.

What ads? That’s just a friendly and helpful product reminder

And if there’s some issue of people making modifications to that code that should reasonably be illegal, that part could be made read-only. I can’t off the top of my head imagine what people would want to modify but shouldn’t but if it became a problem it would be easy to fix.

The problem with the computer parts is that they’re closed sourced and tivo-ized. Computers could be as flexible and tractable as mechanical parts.

If we’re talking about the 80s one I couldn’t disagree more. It has little to do with the book but as its own thing it’s perfect.

Try me

It would be good for you too. I see less whining about having to read two pages in 5th grade classrooms.

But in fact you don’t have to! No one is forcing you to engage.

What specifically related to socialism?

If trots manage to start up a successful revolution I will drop everything and support them

You’ve spent your life steeped in capitalist ideology, but have you read any socialist theory? Your comments continue to demonstrate your complete ignorance of what we’re talking about, so why are you talking about things you fundamentally don’t understand? Is something being complicated evidence of it being wrong somehow? Why do you think being given book recommendations is so unreasonable? Do you want to understand us or not? Is your brain too rotted by the internet providing immediate gratification at all times for you to read?

On Hexbear we regularly bully each other into reading entire books when someone has a bad take. This is mild.

11 paragraphs is like one single page, maybe two.

“Why is everything manufactured in other countries from before the embargo started”
