@kbin.socialFuck, I'll look at code I wrote like a month ago and be like, "what was I thinking?". So I try to fix it, run into some stupid issue and be like, "oh, right."
And this is why comments are useful on code who's purpose or reasoning isn't super obvious or even looks counter intuitive.
Many people have phones without those radios. If they want that feature, it's available to them right now via another device that is better suited to the task.
They're not getting downvotes for saying they don't taste the same. They're getting downvoted for speaking an entirely subjective opinion as some hard truth.
It's a bug. Whether it's Kbin, lemmy, or what, I don't know. But it's not rendering properly on Kbin at the very least.
what you consumed isn't yogurt.
Considering yogurt was just a made up word at some point, I have no problem with words evolving over time like literally every other word in our language.
Yogurt is about the end-product. It's like calling only some things bread because they have extra ingredients or don't use the same grains that ancient societies used to make the original bread.
Dairy milk is gross. I stopped drinking it nearly 15 years ago. I wasn't vegan or vegetarian at the time. It just tasted awful. I still would eat cheese than, but as a drink, dairy milk is plain awful. It's also terribly inefficient. It's not shelf stable. It has a short lifespan. It requires a lot of water and energy per cup than many others.
Do plant-based milks taste exactly like milk? No. But they don't have to.
And how is it better for us? Considering a majority of the world can't digest it is a big sign as to why plant based is better. Soy isn't the only option. There's almond, pea, banana, cashew and coconut to name a few.
It doesn't have to do with Star Trek. That's just the name of the Lemmy instance that uploaded it. The community it's uploaded to is comicstrips@lemmy.world.
Every day the reckoning will be worse than it would have been the day before. That's why it should be planned and not A) ripped off like a bandaid or B) have it fail on its own.
Right now the government is doing practically the opposite and reassuring and strengthening the bandaid despite the inevitable need for it to come off.
I get it. I'm also on board with UBI. Hell, I'm even a vegan that isn't calling for an immediate end to all subsidies for the ag industry even though a vast majority of it is in support of a practice that I believe to be highly unethical and horrendous. But I get that it can't change overnight, but that doesn't mean to keep kicking the can down the road either.
The human cost then will be more than the human cost now. It just will be "future" humans instead of the current ones so they so keep supporting it and making it someone else's problem.
The industry got too big and too reliant on subsidies. A reckoning will occur at some point, it's just a matter of whether it's announced ahead of time or surprises everyone.
You can make plant-based cheeses. And some of them are pretty good. But they lack all of the same properties. Like, you can get a cheese that that when hot will stretch a little bit like the cheese on a pizza, but as it cools off it loses all of that elasticity and is not great for lukewarm pizza. You can get cheese that is pretty decent for lukewarm and hot pizza, but it doesn't have that stretch. It more just rips apart. And you definitely don't have the span of "flavors" of cheese or whatever you'd call it. Some of the big ones, sure, but again, they don't have all the same physical properties.
I don't mind the loss of those properties, but many people do.
Cheese isn't a great source for protein compared to beans in regards to price though.
Honestly, I think we subsidize the dairy industry simply because they've been lobbying so long. Meat is subsidized too. It's the one market that the conservatives are fine with ignoring the mantra of "free market" and support regulating the hell out of it in whatever way supports the "farmers" (big farm is nothing like the labeling suggests and is all headed by big guys in suits who likely never have been on a farm in their life).
