“Man rests from one labor by doing another.” That also works for managing chronic pain, as I’ve discovered…
It’s become somewhat grey, too. Someone might have spent hours skillfully putting something together in PS, to spending five minutes applying the right tools to an existing piece, or doing little more than clicking a couple times to apply a complex filter, completely transforming a piece.
Dude… mah dude…
I welcome you to believe in whatever magical fairyland you choose to subscribe to.
Good luck, and dog-bless.
LOL…
I will give you this, though-- you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about from literally any available perspective, but somehow feel the need to defend your silliness and dreadful lack of understanding, as if this internet shizzle really mattered?
Dude-- go home and take a BATH.
(you’ve earned it)
I guess the irony here is that I’m an infrequent coffee drinker due to having a stomach extra-sensitive to acid. I mainly drink very low-sugar tea, as a rule. Anyway…
Not totally sure what you’re on about in para #1, but I seem to recall you poo-pooing someone else’s idea of “Coffee Monster” as an alt to Cookie Monster, and me attempting to poo-poo your poo-pooing. (er, pardon… 'twas overcome by a Blackadder moment)
Anyway, if you’re still in doubt, here’s a good index to a bunch of modern studies:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_effects_of_coffee
And meanwhile you have cookies… as in refined sugar, a health-disaster from almost every angle, and then refined flour, like white rice, stripped of its nutritious, fibrous hull to leave little more than starch and a bit of protein. An empty-calorie glycemic rush if ever you wanted one. Great in quantity if you’re interested in things like diabetes, CV-disease and cancer.
You can 100% find healthy cookie recipes
Maybe “healthy” in terms of mindset, but in actual practice? Almost always a highly-refined food with little health benefit. At least in terms of the sweet-ish cookies that one typically longs for when they imagine the concept of “a cookie.” So yeah, sure you could make a ‘cookie’ out of compressed, unrefined plant matter and quality-protein material that would taste not unlike fish food, but that’s not really the point now, is it?
And you talk about “pilling,” hehe.
Mate, I’m sorry for my rudeness here, but I’m pretty-well over the typical Western diet and the ridiculous amounts of normalising we do upon ‘decent food’ which in fact is little more than junk food in terms of known science, facts & reality.
/end rant
Did you know that Sidney (yes, that’s his actual name) was originally the “Wheel Monster?”
Total agreement until…
I don’t think glorifying coffee is better by any metric.
Coffee is better by virtually every metric I know of. It’s essentially a health drink containing all kinds of useful plant compounds, compared to cookies which are literal junk food by their processed sugar, processed flour, and whatever else.
Of course, adding a bunch of refined sugar and heavy creme to coffee isn’t helping from that POV.
The thin-skinned blue line?
I’m just kinda curious where you heard that kangaroos are especially dumb? (they’re not)
Some science sources, FWIW:
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1978492/

It seems that kangas and wallabies are indeed occasional meat eaters:
Kangaroos have tiny brains
That sounds like complete nonsense to me.
In fact, mammals are generally big-brained animals compared to the average.
Yes, it’s just a silly leap I’m making to suit the point.
Bigfoot / Yeti / Sasquatch / etc has little or zero evidence at all.
Gigantopithecus’ evidence was mostly gnawed away by giant porcupines. Go figure…
“Bigfoot” hasn’t been around for at least a couple hundred-thousand years, but we may possibly have some cultural or deep-rooted genetic memory of them.
It sounded like another aspect of all that was that Del Monte may have partially or wholly roped them in to exclusive supply deals, cutting way down on their ability to deal with other potential canners or whatnot.
When farmer Craig Watts did his exposé on Purdue, it sounded a lot like a share-cropping / coal-mining situation, in which the chicken farmers had little real autonomy, and became super-reliant on Purdue for everything. Doesn’t sound quite as bad in this Del Monte situation, but some similarities hit me.
I guess billionaires are aching to get collapse over with ASAP, so they can put their luxury bunkers to the test. I don’t envy them in the slightest, but whatever…
So much whiffage in these comments that I’m getting a delightful breeze, all the way over here…
He may (arguably) be the nicest guy in the world, roped in to this madness by emperor Xi and the CCP, but you HAVE to shut this down in the strongest terms when it’s discovered. Over and over again. As long as the deceit and fraudulence is repeated.
Unfortunately, these ‘secret police’ stations are fairly common across the West.
On a tangent,
what’s your stance on various people on YT ‘domesticating’ feral cats and other semi-wild and wild animals by wearing heavy gloves, then repeatedly invading their personal space over a course of days (like a month, typically) and then triumphantly showing that the animal is much-less stressed, and much-less freaked-out by petting, at the end of the video?
I mean, I guess I’m pretty much answering my own question above. I.e. I don’t like it in general, but it does leave some Q’s about what exactly those people are doing in such cases… like, what’s being triggered… what’s being normalized… and all that stuff. It almost kinda seems like a form of slavery and Stockholm syndrome, altho I’m just an amateur speaking.
I guess I have to reluctantly agree, and so change my initial upvote to a downvote.
Sir David is to me one of the greatest human beings on the planet, but the article simply isn’t “Not the Onion” material.
@kescusay@lemmy.world,

From that tiny anecdote, it kinda sounds like she didn’t know how to get herself up. Sounds stupid maybe, but from the moment she hit the water, she might have felt like she was fighting for her life.
Also, people panic in different ways, and being in water can be seriously upsetting for someone who’s never been, before.
