I watched a sbs video on his “response”

It’s very obvious from the video that he knows he’s fucked and saying shit in hopes it’ll save him which it wont

To expand on why I don’t like duolingo it’s because you can’t structure the lessons and the material to work best for you

Genki and quartet which I will do after genki is part of my own personalised lesson structure

By gathering your own resources you can structure the lessons best for you

Doesn’t India have a shit ton of smog

I wouldn’t be surprised if that was creating a local greenhouse effect

I don’t know if your comment is a pun or not

Was it a boeing plane ?

Animated ATLA is better than the Netflix adaptation

I haven’t heard anything about this so I’m not sure about this claim unless anyone is able to link credible evidence

And remember that politics is a spectrum and has its own faction

Remember that we are all human amd we should be working together for a common cause to remove bigotry, intolerance and those who preach intolerance from the world and we should be working towards transitioning away from the exploitative system of capitalism

Good, parents exploiting their children for their own personal gain is not okay

Your children are not their belongings, they are their own independent person and your job is to help them in life and prepare them

If I recall correctly the Coogan law was made for this reason specifically for child actors

I feel like your intentionally misrepresenting Japan

Every country has racist people and Japan’s younger population are more open

Oh god I hate this, I’m afraid of people misunderstanding me especially when it comes to discussing sensitive or controversial topics

Didn’t peta also kidnap and put down a families dog if I recall correctly

This article reminds me of that

Jail isn’t a good place for those suffering under mental health criseses and will worsen their condition

My lemmy client bugged out again and gave me this

Confused the hell out of me and I don’t know how to feel about the image

“CPRule” without context this sounds illegal

Here is the full text, I originally planned to paste sections of it that I felt applicable to rebuke you in multiple comments as lemmy does have a comment character limit and won’t let me paste the entire text

I beleive I may have also unkowingly cut out relevant parts of the text

I belive you misinterpreted the way I originally posted it as “gish gallop”

I beleive it is a good compilation of sources

I know the original text may also be a bit negative towards vegans but I still beleive the scientific sources contained within it and its explanations of those sources are valuable excluding the negativity and I removed the negativity in my comments containing sections of the text, I did not write the text compiling the sources but I use it as it is a good compilation of sources

Can’t find anything definitive on a Google search

• A widespread lie is that the vegan diet is “clinically proven to reverse heart disease”. The studies by Ornish and Esselstyn are made to sell their diet, but rely on confounding factors like exercise, medication or previous bypass surgeries (Esselstyn had nearly all of them exercise while pretending it was optional). All of them have tiny sample size, extremely poor design and have never been replicated in much larger clinical trials, which made Ornish suggest that we should discard the scientific method. Both diets included dairy.

• Vegan diets are devoid of many nutrients and generally require more supplements than just B12. Some of them (Vitamin K2, EPA/DHA, Vitamin A) can only be obtained because they are converted from other sources, which is inefficient, limited or poor for a large part of the population. EPA+DHA from animal products have an anti-inflammatory effect, but converting it from ALA (plant sourced) does not seem to work the same. Taurine is essential  for many people with special needs, while Creatine supplementation improves memory only in those who don’t eat meat.

• The US supplement industry is poorly regulated and has a history of spiking their products with drugs. Vitamin B complexes were tainted with anabolic steroids in the past, while algae supplements have been found to contain aldehydes. Supplements and fortified foods can cause poisoning, while natural products generally don’t. Even vegan doctors caution and can’t agree on what to supplement.

• There is an extremely strong link between meat abstention and mental disorders. While it’s unknown what causes what, the vegan diet is low in or devoid of several important brain nutrients.

science around veganism is highly exaggerated. Nutrition science is in its infancy and the “best” studies on vegans rely on indisputably and fatally flawed food questionnaires that ask them what they eat once and then just assume they do it for several years:

• Vegans aren’t even vegan. They frequently cheat on their diet and lie about it.

• Self-imposed dieting is linked to binge eating disorder, which makes people forget and misreport about eating the food they crave.

• The vast majority of studies favoring vegan diets were conducted on people who reported to consume animal products and by scientists trained at Seventh-day Adventist universities. They have contrasting results when compared to other studies. The publications of researchers like Joan Sabate and Winston Craig (reviewers and authors of the AND position paper, btw) show that they have a strong bias towards confirming their religious beliefs. They brag about their global influence on diet, yet generally don’t disclose this conflict of interest. They have pursued people for promoting low-carbohydrate diets.

• 80-100% of observational studies are proven wrong in controlled trials

Many, if not all, of the institutions that agree with the AND either just echo their position, don’t cite any sources at all, or have heavy conflicts of interest. E.g. the Dietitians of Canada wrote their statement with the AND, the USDA has the Adventist reviewer in their guidelines committee, the British Dietetic Association works with the Vegan Society, the Australian Guidelines cite the AND paper as their source and Kaiser Permanente has an author that works for an Adventist university.
