Adding bugs into food products purposefully creates issues with large numbers of people who follow religious diets. Jains, Buddhists, Muslim and Jews all have religious restrictions on which bugs, if any, are fit for consumption.

While I agree moving away from fossil fuels is important, I think it’s important to make accommodations for people’s cultures and try to take actions that wouldn’t alienate them. One doesn’t have to share another’s cultural beliefs to understand they should be considered and respected. This isn’t to say we should continue using petroleum based dyes, but that the search for alternatives shouldn’t end at insects just because it could be a cheaper option for the business owners, which, I’m sure we know, is the real reason that any large industry will shift to an alternative dye.

So IRC is really cool huh

Don’t be subtle. Be direct and frank. “Dad, I don’t want to hear you having sex with your new girlfriend and I shouldn’t have to put up with it twice a day. Either be quiet or do it when I’m not home.” Throw in some imitations of him or her. He should be mortified enough to behave. Better yet, tell it to both of them face to face. That way there can be no confusion between all parties.

Dudes already morphed into horny mode, he’s ready to fuck then die, dude don’t need to see that.

Headline writers going a little far into the whole trade war rhetoric

I think we need a place to contain 4chan users lest the rest of the internet be potentially exposed to one.

There are styles of tanktops that are meant to be undershirts and I think that would be inappropriate, though I think just because it feels like you’re half dressed. It would be weird to just wear an undershirt out in public.

But there’s plenty of tank tops available now that aren’t like that and I think those are fine.

How is it disrespectful? It’s just a shirt.

No, I think it’s inappropriate, too, but it seems so minor to make into a larger issue.

Another fwiw I’ve gotten two crap products off Ali Express, a set of bubble floats that were clearly manufacturing defects and a glasses cleaner that was just a box with a motor, but I had no issue returning either for a full refund. Got to keep the bubble floats, too, which was nice since in the set of 5, two worked. I don’t think I’ll buy anything that uses electricity off the site again, but for solid goods? Just fine.

I don’t think it’s inappropriate, but I also don’t think it’s a disagreement worth fighting over.

Fwiw, I get all my fishing supplies off Ali Express and that’s been a great way to get everything I need at a far lower cost than I could locally. I can get products meant for the Japanese market that simply aren’t available here. It’s literally the same stuff otherwise, just cutting out the big box store middleman.

Even if it is “knock off”, I’ll tell ya with confidence the fish don’t give a fuck.

Ngl this post is probably gonna get removed too and rightfully so considering the community’s rules. The previous one, I’m not sure why that was removed, exactly. It’s a charged subject, perhaps that’s why?

Politics sounds more apt, but I’m gonna be honest, I don’t have an encyclopedic knowledge of lemmy communities and the politics related ones may have a similar stipulation about news articles only.

Nonsequitor, but I think your deleted post asking if Israeli citizens are held to a different standard than American citizens considering both their countries participation in recent atrocities was provocative and worth some pondering and introspection.

I don’t think this is the right community for this kind of post since it’s not a news article.

Really misread that hat and thought it said “End this fucking wet ass pussy”

This really depends on the technology and equipment employed by whatever Material Reclamation Facility (MRF) your locality is using. They can vary greatly and it’s worth checking with your local recycling authority.

Obviously pronounces “Clean-eh-keys” right?

Fries on pizza, absolute mistake. I’m like almost there with you on fries in shwarma, but if you eat it right away and they’re nice and crisp, but fluffy in the middle? With toum? Oh, baby, sign me up!

How is this news?

Its an article about a social media post and the article is riddled with errors. They can’t even get the name of the posters account right despite showing it in the images.
