Interesting that your default unit of chips is ‘a chip’ and not ‘a handful of chips’ or ‘a bag of chips’.

Don’t worry about this at all, this is actually a great opportunity.

You have a full year where you are a very competitive intern/research applicant because most of your schooling is behind you.

Not only that, but you can probably take an internship in the spring or fall semester when everyone else is in school. You can get some really primo internships. University of Waterloo is a school you probably never heard of but you find their students in all the big tech companies in the spring and fall because the school pushes them to take a semester off(I think). It’s a great strategy.

Is this a self affirmation or are there other people in your shower?

I think we are very much in agreement. I don’t read a lot of what goes on in Showerthoughts. I would rather let people sort out their differences. Several users reported the thread, meaning that they wanted a moderator to take action.

If someone prefers zero moderation then they will need to look outside of Lemmy.world.

You should be able to see all the reports against you here: https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=13046809

I observe two things about your comment.

1. You have an unpopular opinion of JK Rowling. I want to build a welcoming community so I want to support people with unpopular opinions, like yours.
2. The comment is written in a way that not only states your opinion but is aggressive towards the other users. In isolation this comment isn’t too bad but in the context of your other comments there is a trend of agression that stirs up more aggression. I want to build a welcoming community so I want to avoid aggression towards users.

These two points are at odds. I originally removed your comment, you didn’t like that, you sent me a DM, so I tried this approach.

If you were in my shoes, how would you resolve the conflict created by observations 1 & 2?

What is bullshit? Im open to criticism. I am open to conversations.

Mod here. This thread devolved and reports were flying around so now it’s gone.

It was kicked off with the above comment. rainrain asked a question. If we assume the best intentions, it is a reasonable question but it could be interpreted as being hostile.

Leraje did a good job answering the question in a kind way.

In general, please approach opposing ideas with curiosity not hostility. We are all on the same team, we are all working together to build a better internet.

No, but upon closer inspection the right one is probably a more faded version of the left one.

The middle is certainly different.

But they seem to do this in other colors, where they have two slightly different versions.

Yeah, this takes some time to settle in for me

Beautiful

This is good.

It’s a shame that Europe did feel the need to compete with the US administration by gutting it’s auditing of sustainability https://www.esgtoday.com/eu-parliament-agrees-to-delay-sustainability-reporting-and-due-diligence-laws/

Even from an economic perspective this proposed rule change is horrible. We learn an enormous amount from animals and that knowledge creates enormous economic value.

An example is the horseshoe crab

In 2023, the US Fish and Wildlife Service halted the harvesting of horseshoe crabs in the Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge, South Carolina, from March 15 to July 15 to aid their reproduction.[87] This decision was influenced by the importance of horseshoe crab eggs as a food source for migratory birds, the ongoing use of horseshoe crabs for bait, and the use of their blood in medical products.[87] The ban supports the conservation goals of the refuge, spanning 66,000 acres (26,700 hectares) of marshes, beaches, and islands near Charleston.[87]

This estimates the value of horseshoe crabs to the medical research industry at $100M per year (they have special blue blood). And as our technology improves we are always learning more from animals, so we don’t know which animals will give us our next billion dollar industry. The cost of extinction to future generations is literally infinite.

Oh what bastards, they timed the publication so that people forget about it after a 4 day weekend.

Set yourself an alarm, and save this post.
