You could also just knowingly lie to them. Christians do that all the time with e.g. Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny. IDK if I’d do that, but if you’re fine with lying about Santa Claus (which often ends up being scary to children, too, especially when you have people pretend to be Santa), lying about an afterlife seems like a smaller issue.
I grew up in a nonreligious (nominally christian) household, this kind of thing was never an issue for me.
I thought you were talking about environmental impact? Both cow milk and cow meat have a worse environmental footprint than chicken meat.
I think that’s a flawed argument. Cow milk production requires that cows get pregnant once a year, and the calves can’t all become milk cows, too - thus, cow milk production cannot exist without cow meat production. And IIRC milk products still have a worse environmental impact than chicken meat.
TBH I’m not sure about the environmental impact of eggs vs meat. But animal welfare is generally the main reason why people keep to vegetarian or vegan diets, and chicken farming is not great in terms of animal welfare.
A vegetarian diet isn’t much more ethical than an omnivore diet, anyway. Veganism has a much better argument.
Considering the quality of automated translation and voice recognition nowadays, it’s going to be really damn tough. Maybe if you learn something extremely rare and extremely different from English (e.g. some African language) that’s hard to translate because it’s a context-heavy language, but I’d assume that would be pretty hard to learn, too. Best you can hope for is probably to delay them figuring out what you’re saying, which might still be enough depending on your plans.
Might as well create your own coded language if you’re already putting that much effort in.
I’ve always been running Ubuntu- or Debian-derived distros on all my laptops and desktops since I switched to Linux, including those specifically billed as “low in resource use” (Crunchbang/Bunsenlabs FTW). Works great, very little hassle.
I do appreciate that you need studies even for stuff that seems obvious … but man, duh. If you weren’t egoistic, you wouldn’t be driving unnecessarily large and expensive cars.
Probably because fediverse users keep linking it.
Also, let’s not pretend that this is significantly different in any other western country. Paid lawyers are standard in most judicial systems, wealthy suspects will always have an advantage because of that.
It’s a dutch site.
Unfortunately, politicians largely don’t have accountability, either …
I had a friend who discouraged me from going into software development after highschool. I was always into computers, but math isn’t really my thing - I would definitely have crashed and burned fast if I tried to study computer science at university. Years later I ended up doing a trade school ‘degree’ (German Ausbildung) in software dev, though, and that worked really well for me.
My professional life isn’t going well due to medical reasons, though. There’s a possibility that I could have avoided the worst of that if I never went to university and just went to trade school right away, my university years kinda fucked me up.
Bit of a bad time to cheer for your national football team.
AFAIK most water gets used in construction, and constructing city-sized facilities uses a LOT of resources. Now guess which side gets favored if there’s a resource conflict between a datacenter and the local population.
It’s not NIMBY if you don’t want new datacenters elsewhere, either.
Many instances block nsfw instances, maybe some of the furry communities are impacted by that.
TBH I don’t like arriving sweaty, so I’d be fine with 20 kph, but only if it’s a general rule and not just me holding up traffic for no reason.
Most countries have a ~10% tolerance anyway so even legal e-bikes are probably going 27/28. And there’s quite a lot of illegal ones.
And there’s a differenc between young+fit people going 25+ km/h, and 70+ people going that fast. Even a relatively healthy old person has generally worse reflexes and eyesight than a young person, and lots of old people are quite unhealthy.
People like you have existed in NL for decades, it’s clearly e-bikes that inspired this speed limit experiment.
City roads are for transportation, not exercise. And 20 km/h is a little on the slow side, but hardly “useless” for transportation.
Knowing their child’s worldview sounds like it absolutely would be a parent’s business. It’s pretty central to who someone is as a person. Of course you don’t want to force them to tell you, but most people aren’t cagey about this if they trust their parents.
