Yea, it's the same old complaint as every generation. Not like there's evidence of actual mental decline like... oh wait...
Scores have been falling for six consecutive years, but the trend accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic. Students in the class of 2023 whose scores were reported Wednesday were in their first year of high school when the virus reached the U.S.
The people who like these games generally don't get angry the same way you do (probably). I've died 30+ times to bosses before and felt disheartened. But the rush from the win makes it feel worth it.
I wonder if the farms normally have insurance for this kinda thing. "Infected flocks are normally destroyed to prevent the flu’s spread, and then the farms are decontaminated." sounds damn expensive and ruinous to a plant.
Let it be Gohda
I've seen similar complaints with when reading about western animation too - but the context for that was in an animation guide (The Animator's Survival Kit). I wonder if there'll be any attempt to consolidate/document anime animation tricks before the old farts there croak
But I am. brb, distro-hopping to hannah montana linux now
I put a link to their report in my comment - here's another reference, go to page 8. I see nothing in the report indicating that the people listed are still working for the companies accused in the article.
No way... people who are experts in the food/health industry are involved with giving dietary advice? The horror.
Of course there isn't a link to the reports, so I have to go looking for it. Anyway here's the report. PDF - page 8 for the results. I spot-checked a few of them - the conflicts of interest I saw was in the form of companies sponsoring research done. ...which is pretty much how the majority of research gets done I believe..
Also I see coca-cola referenced ONCE as a "possible" COI
Position in industry-sponsored conferences: Dr. Booth was selected to speak at a conference sponsored by Bayer, Coca-Cola, and Abbott, among other industry actors
yet this article seems to deem it alright to put it as the posterboy image and list it prominently among other unpopular company names. Also they have to link to their boogeyman reporting about aspartame. You can see where HN tore it apart here.
This is why I hate news nowadays. I could've made some good food in the past 20 minutes on a nice Saturday, but instead I wasted time finding out a guardian article was bullshit.
Relevant section in the govt report -
The number of persons employed part time for economic reasons, at 4.1 million, changed little in September. These individuals, who would have preferred full-time employment, were working part time because their hours had been reduced or they were unable to find full-time jobs. (See table A-8.)
A-8 seems to indicate the number of part-time jobs for economic reasons actually went down by about 100k, which seems pretty good.
Ah, yea that makes sense. It doesn’t seem inconsistent if I think about it that way.
Listed out like that, it’s not completely out of left field. The MAGA wing has been advocating for a few of those items on the list. It’s just bizarre that it’s being brought up as a bargaining chip /now/. You know - after obliterating the last R that worked with Dems. Like…what…?
From what I can tell, lemmy’s on par with other social media sites (reddit, twitter, fb) wrt disinfo rates. That is to say not worse, not better, but still fucking horrible.
Makes me realize that people are just as big a driver of this bs as any state or corpo driven propaganda bot.
