I’ll believe it when I see a Linux version of their Galaxy client.

Wide gulf between having a permissive attitude to drugs and going full draconian like Singapore. Being draconian like that is a huge rule of law issue IMO, you can put someone in prison by smearing some drugs on their shoes.

IMO the issue with the west isn’t that they’re too soft, but that they often don’t go all the way - even the Netherlands, which is known for letting people legally buy and sell cannabis, doesn’t actually allow growing cannabis. There’s no way to legally acquire cannabis for the sellers in NL, it’s incredibly stupid.

If marxism-leninism or maoism aren’t far left, what IS? The word “tankie” references the violent and imperialist oppression of opposition by communist countries like the USSR and PRC, and I don’t get the impression that lemmy.ml users don’t consider themselves this flavor of leftist. Or is this just a “no true scotsman” discussion?

My point is that it’s absolutely possible to get fat from fruit, in contrast to the comment I replied to. If you pig out on calorie-dense fruit like bananas or cherries every day, you will absolutely get fat. So, OP should be mindful about which fruit he chooses for his snacks and control his portions.

Many fruit contain a lot of sugar and not all of them have such a strong laxative effect as apples. It’s harder to overeat on them than with cheese or bags of chips and they certainly contain a lot of healthy stuff like vitamins and fiber that many people are a bit short on, but it doesn’t take that much additional sugar in your diet to become overweight. It’s especially dangerous when you start processing them, e.g. smoothies or juices.

BP is not common parlance. I’d be open to the argument that it’s common on a health/medicine-focused comm, but this is Ask Lemmy.

And yet you obnoxiously abbreviated “blood pressure” as “BP”.

I feel like that someone might have contributed to your excessive use of acronyms.

What’s evoo, ACV and BP?

I just remembered, sweet corn is relatively healthy if you don’t add too much butter etc. Grilled corn on the cob is a classic, but it’s a lot easier and quicker to just buy a can of corn without the cob, season them and bake them.

You probably don’t want to be on a far left server like lemmy.ml if those aren’t your politics. If only for the risk of getting defederated, but it’s also a quick way to get banned by your own instance if you do participate in political threads.

Blueberries are tasty and keep surprisingly long in the fridge.

When I’m at the supermarket, prepackaged salad is pretty nice and comes in portions that I eat before they spoil (in contrast to heads of salad). Try not to drown it in dressing, but honestly even drowned in dressing it should still be healthier than regular junk food snacks.

IDK what “modern leftist” is supposed to be, but lemmy.world is not what I’d describe as “leftist”, especially not relative to other Lemmy instances. It’s certainly left of fascism and Reddit, but y’know, low bar to clear.

I was fairly obsessed with bass, too, when I started playing instruments. I guess guitar never would have worked for me back then.

I definitely had similar issues with bass, it would have made more sense for me to start with guitar. Though either way, I do my best work when I’m programming synths. And I never really got good enough at bass to play the kinds of lines that made me pick up bass in the first place, anyway …

I should have been less willing to buy an electric bass that’s too heavy to me. I got a maple-body Jazz Bass ~10 years ago, back then it was kinda heavy but fine for me, today I’m quite a bit less fit than I was then and no amount of wide, cushioned straps are able to make this a good experience for me nowadays, and since I play lefty it’s a PITA to sell it. Until the shoulder and back pain kick in it does sound and play great, though.
IMO, Ibanez Soundgear has the best ergonomics as far as relatively affordable basses go that aren’t headless - pretty lightweight and yet the opposite of top-heavy. I never liked their sound out of the box, though, and aftermarket pickups that fit the cavities without woodworking are kinda expensive.

Unfortunately for newbies and GUI tool developers, I rarely use GUI tools and thus don’t know of many. I do agree that GUI tools have better accessibility and discoverability, but they also have worse performance and are just generally more work to make and thus many developers of enthusiast tools skip the GUI.

TBH asking questions on SO (and most similar platforms) fucking sucks, no surprise that users jump at the first opportunity at getting answers another way.

German subs were really big on Reddit, too.

Germany is the second largest country in Europe by population, they don’t really have their own social media like e.g. Russia or China and they’re much better at English than most other big countries that are not already English native speakers.
