You're right my original statement could have been worded better. I've edited it, and responded to the other user with some clarifications. https://sh.itjust.works/post/28117434/15082665

Sure I'll clarify. The implication from your statement is that raw milk can kill half of cats very frequently, which is seemingly untrue. What seems to be the situation is that raw milk from cows infected with the bird flu can lead to a 50% fatality rate for cats that drink it. So if cats consume raw milk, will there be a near 50% fatality rate? Not necessarily, but it seems like that would be the case if the cows in question are infected with the bird flu (based on articles).

The reason why I want to differentiate between what you said, and the article is I can imagine someone saying: "nearly half of cats die drinking raw milk!" to which a skeptic may find online people talking about cats not dying at such a high rate from drinking raw milk, leaving out the fact that the bird flu infected cows is the issue. This can dissuade skeptics from believing the reality that raw milk increases the chances of illness from the bird flu, as well as other sicknesses.

If I'm wrong about the fact that nearly 50% of cats are dying, all the time, from raw milk, feel free to provide an article so i can educate myself.

What's a zwift rider?

You're sort of right ( based on the article I think you read about) The cats drank bird flu contaminated raw milk which led to them dying. For that reason, raw milk is dangerous to humans because pasteurized milk would~~n't be as dangerous.~~ have reduced the chances of the bird flu, and other illnesses, from people that drink it. https://arstechnica.com/science/2024/04/concerning-spread-of-bird-flu-from-cows-to-cats-suspected-in-texas/

I don't watch cable TV. I get free Disney plus which includes ads. For these I do in fact mute them. I find ads annoying.

That's sad to hear. Not the people I know. Your experience isn't a reflection of everybody else's

Completely untrue. Their good intentioned. They just are given news from an alternate reality where Trump is not fascist, racist, and is so smart. When you don't hear bad news on someone, how can you know their bad?

My brain hurts. I think it's supposed to say: throwback to when I found this gem in a value village in Houston, Texas. Gym was a stretch, otherwise pretty funny.

I actually don't think so. Like I speak with Republicans that are very dismissive of covid still, despite having family members die to it. If people were bothered by his covid response, they would continue to be bothered by the fact Trump shit the covid response. Instead it seems voters think everything was fine during his term (completely uninformed or unaware of the fact that he was impeached twice, raped women, a good friend and neighbor of Epstein, and tried to overthrow the government)

The apathy maybe comes from how Harris was hand picked (because it was so last minute that Biden dropped off) vs us having an actual primary with several democrats.

If i could change time to allow Biden to run, i would do so only because Harris running in the situation that she did, didn't work out regardless.

But I kind of don't think he would have won either. The debate performance plus "his bad economy" I think we're too impactful. I think the only chance, if any, was Biden not running, and us actually having a chance to select a candidate.

The biggest hurdle I would say is the disinformation war that reality is losing against Russia/MAGA.

Not domeone who has given up gaming, but I stopped gaming for a bit with the hope I would be more productive. Not long, short bursts of a couple of months. I hated it because I would still spend time doing "unproductive" things, but even worse, it felt like I wasn't doing anything actually fun. Like, I'm scrolling on Reddit or Lemmy for like 2 hours? Sure I read quite a bit, but there's a lot of uneducationa posts, as well as a lot of time spent scrolling because I was on it for so long that the good posts I got through quickly.

At least with video games, I get a sense of learning, and challenging myself.

That's the point I'm trying to make(but didn't do well). Successful Media is telling Trump can, has and will do these things . If they're told this repeatedly, with no other sane opinions, of course they will believe it. Worse still, they're also told views to the contrary are completely false and should be disregarded
