TIL oil barrels are held together by giant Phillips head screws.

Definitely. For the average home cook, that convenience is much more valuable than making your knives extra sharp.

Do the diamond stones need any kind of maintenance? I’ve read that you need to regularly flatten the surface of your typical whetstone.

Yeah, that much I agree with.

“They want people like me to not exist” is not a “general stance.”

No, that is not a general statement. “Someone that wants some group of people to not exist” is the general statement, and I belong to some group of people. Anything that applies to the general statement also applies to the specific one. I’m not about to list all groups of people in existence, but if you want to play the game where you name someone and I tell you whether or not the rule applies, I’m happy to play along.

Do you mean lemmyers? People with usernames that start with H?

Yes to all of the above, as long as they don’t infringe on anyone else’s right to live.

Don’t pretend that because you’re trying to conflate this with math that you’re somehow correct or logical.

Logic is math. Do you disagree with the comparison?

I’m speaking in generalities because it’s a very general stance.

What you’re doing is the equivalent of going to someone who says x+x=2x and and claiming they must not know what they’re saying because they’re not telling you what exact value x is.

You generally learn of people’s opinions when they tell you their opinions. Not that this is relevant in this discussion. The point is that targeting people who hold such opinions is what it means to “treat the symptoms” in this context. Figuring out who holds such opinions is a different matter.

How is my exact identity relevant? Do you think it’s more acceptable to get rid of one group of people versus another? As long as they don’t infringe on other people’s right to live, everyone should have an equal right to live their life.

I don’t know how much clearer that can be. Their opinion is that I shouldn’t exist. Or that I should die. Or that we should move towards a world where people like me don’t exist.

I don’t see what my identity has to do with this. Whether I’m a cis-het white male or bipoc gay trans, those opinions are equally problematic.

• Literally by holding the opinion that people like myself shouldn’t exist
• Supporting people who are actively killing people like myself
• Encouraging others to incite violence towards us
• Supporting policy that would kill many of us

This keeps happening on Lemmy. What front end did you use to post this comment?

Specifically those who disagree with my right to live. If you disagree on any other front, there’s no reason for violence.

So like, just brush your teeth again? What else do people normally do in the morning besides eating?

Why is this a Google link?

I just hold my breath until the feeling goes away.

I don’t think lack of intelligence is the reason most people are fine with eating animal meat and not human babies. It’s usually that humans just value animal lives less than that of other humans.

The main problem with X as a platform name is that it creates a lot of ambiguity that takes multiple reads to figure out. Twitter is unambiguous.

So much tech support has moved to Discord. That’s worth keeping around.

You can survive off any single food item for some non-zero amount of time. Nothing we know of can allow you to survive forever. The question is always: how long?

If you have influence, you also have the responsibility to make sure your voice reaches as many people as possible. Screaming this message earlier is a good way of lowering your chances of getting access to a mic at the Grammy at a moment where most people are listening.
