Kids are told to stay away because THC, like most drugs, impacts brain development ๐Ÿ˜…

Once you're 25 your brain is generally considered fully developed. The closer you get to that point the less of an issue it is, but kids shouldn't be smoking weed all the time, it can impair your brain's development.

Bro, your literal entire comment history is attacking people for not sharing your political compass alignment. Get offline. Do something that makes you happy. That shit ain't good for your head, and you can't fight the good fight when you're emotionally unwell and too wrapped up in your own anger to engage with anyone through anything other than insults and attacks.

Hope you have a decent day. Take care

Did we even read the same article...? It doesn't seem to ever mention a glock, I don't know what business you're saying deserved to go out of business, and the whole article is about firearm storage, not the design of integrated firearm safties...

I didn't realize there was a wholesome greentext community here on Lemmy, thanks! :)

Give yourself some credit, drawing letters is one of the absolute hardest things in art, I think they genuinely look fantastic

I probably will at some point, it's a shame though cause every once in a while something really fun or charming comes out of the greentext communities or reddit or lemmy. I don't meant to condemn folks for their choice or preferences, just express that I can't relate to them

Hope you have a good one :)

It's on the front page pretty often, as it seems like one of the larger communities

I'll probably end up blocking it as the other reply mentioned, but I don't usually like doing that. It's also a bummer cause occasionally something really lovely gets produced by 4chan, you just have to wade through a lot of bleakness before you find it, it would seem

I don't mean to disparage others their choice or preferences, just expressing I don't really understand them

Hope you have a good one :)

That would make sense

Hope you have a lovely day :)

Its not a strawman, that would imply no one was actually advocating for feeding cats a vegan diet, and this post was made up to pretend they did in order to disparage vegans. This post is a reference to someone on Lemmy arguing in favor of vegan diets for cats, and the thread you linked is literally people advocating for and discussing vegan diets for cats.

That being said, if you read the comments you'll see vegan folks arguing that this is a difficult thing to safely do in practice, and needs oversight and direction from a vet.

Making decisions to feed your pets, who can't advocate for themselves, things other than what they biologically evolved process as a healthy diet, even if you believe you've balanced everything just right, is morally questionable.

Making such a decision about your own diet on moral grounds is an admirable sacrifice and difficult lifestyle change one can be proud of. Choosing to make that sacrifice on behalf of a creature you're responsible for the health and happiness of is needlessly jeopardizing the wellbeing of that creature. They can't communicate their needs, and you're the one responsible for them. Don't go making questionable choices on their behalf that they'd be powerless to do anything about.

 

I really enjoyed the well researched video Fortnine put together on how grille height is the greatest predictor of pedestrian collision fatality.

I don't totally belong in this community as I rather like cars & motorcycles (but not how dependent our society is on them), but I really enjoyed the well researched video Fortnine put together on how the height of the front bumper/grille is the greatest predictor of pedestrian collision fatality and I felt it'd be a good fit for the community :)

Even as more of a car enthusiast, it's very frustrating how regulations intended to improve emissions have inadvertently resulted in basically every car on the road being a towering murder-behemoth that isn't actually even practical for their "intended" purposes (Speaking about trucks and SUVs since in my mind at least they're supposed to be utility vehicles for getting stuff done. Truck beds are the same size, but far harder to reach/see into, and get stuff out off for really no benefit whatsoever, and also have crap visibility)

I'm sure the way he voices certain things will be frustrating to some folks in this community, and thats fair- I think there's still merit to the way he's trying to push for a single small change that'd make a really big impact on safety (assuming legislators are willing to bite the bullet and actually do something for once). I try to be an ally to the ideas of making society less car-dependent even coming from a different perspective, and I hope y'all can see the value of folks in the enthusiast world as allies to the cause even if we don't share perspectives on everything. (For context, Fortnine is a motorcycling YouTube channel, and is as such obviously run by folks who love and care about motorcycling)

Hopefully this knowledge being more commonplace and widely discussed can more quickly result in legislation that makes cars far safer for pedestrians and cyclists

Hope y'all have a good day :)
