Yeah I don't believe most of these are real "big taboos" and will continue eating food the way it is most tasty to do, regardless, thanks.

Sometimes relaxing regulatory measures leads to people following them better, as they better match the intent of the regulation rather than being seen as absurd. It also lowers the 'benefit' of deviancy from that regulation.

Sometimes you're right, you regulate more extremely than the intent because people will follow it better, or it makes it easier to enforce.

The point is there's not a one size fits all.

Ooooh another supercomputer claiming to surpass or approach a human brain. Cute! The simulations it'll run will probably be pretty neat though.

Trilium for a database and therefore faster method that is actually foss.

Obsidian is reaching market criticality so I'm expecting enshitification any time now.

Anybody claiming one general solution will fix every single grievance they have sounds a step away from buying essential oils.

Don't get me wrong, it will help, but no every pet problem will not be magically solved by waving hands and going "just do better urban panning, duh"

Just don't romanticize your proposed solution to a degree where you think you can slap it in and problems solve themselves.

Im going to correct and elaborate here.

Just taken at face value this claim is wrong. What you're thinking of is that you can often get military hardware in media, as in tanks, soldiers as extras, uniforms, 3d models of vehicles, etc. Directly from the military/dod. These are things which often cost millions of dollars, you can occasionally get them for free in your movie. The caveat is generally that then the dod is allowed to vet and veto scenes and uses, the expectation being that they can kick out anything that depicts the military in a bad lens, more or less.

But see they're made up. If the characters aren't real, who could possibly suffer the effects of media intentionally objectifying women or otherwise reducing a group of people into caricatured stereotypes- ohhhhhhhhhhhhh

So your understanding of something like racism is that it can only be racism if it involves a live real human? What about racist fiction? I don't think your idea of sexism or racism holds up...

You just don't digest as much nor store as much calories. So your feces and urine, as well as exhalation.

It's not cheating basic physics, there's just a lot of misunderstanding about how weight works in biology. Cico is not what many people believe it to be.
