No (and even if we did, you would never be able to afford one)

I have a toggleable ‘Show bots’ option in Settings>Account Preferences. I’m using Boost for Lemmy, but maybe other clients have a similar option?

They aren’t talking about it being made to by other movies, they’re saying the movie continues to make money for a long time after it’s first week. To give a famous example: in the 90s the Kevin Costner movie Waterworld was declared to be a massive financial flop based on its first week(s) performance in US cinemas, but once you account for worldwide figures and VHS sales it was actually one of the most profitable movies of the decade.

Sorry, I wasn’t trying to claim that your gut biome doesn’t effect your mood, just that the serotonin in your gut isn’t making it’s easy to the serotonin receptors in your brain that make you feel happy

Any scientific definition of ‘fish’ which includes all the things we commonly consider to be fish also includes basically all animal life on earth (including humans and, presumably, pterodactyls).

Edit: Though generally this is avoided by declaring that ‘fish’ is not an evolutionary category.

The serotonin in your gut can’t pass through the gut-blood barrier, and therefore never reaches your brain, so it has no effect whatsoever on your ability to feel happy.

Unripe bananas are full of serotonin (which breaks down to melotonin as they ripen), but the only effect that has on your body is to give you diarrhoea.

Half of all science involves torturing mice in some way

I’ve spelled it out twice now, if you honestly still don’t understand I don’t think there’s anything I can say that will make it clear to you…

I’m already aware of what the words mean, it was a jab at the way that relying on chatbots for information damages people’s ability to think.

So, you haven’t actually responded to what I’ve said, you’ve instead responded to an imaginary bogeyman saying different things from what I’ve said?

Because I never said anything in support of any government whatsoever, so you’ve basically just admitted to arguing in bad faith. Shame on you for trying to call me a racist though, resorting to insults just demonstrates the fact that you don’t have a coherent point to make.

Sure, but that’s basically irrelevant to the point being made in OP’s memes.

Also, there is no ‘for the most part’. Geopolitical alliances notwithstanding, they are in no way ideologically aligned: I’ll say it once more for the people with their fingers in their ears, “Russia is not a socialist state, and hasn’t been for over three decades!”

• research the multiples definitions of authoritarian and answer how any definition is any different than

Who’s attacking straw men now? When did I ever insinuate that the US/EU/anyone else were in some way better than Russia? And what the fuck does skin colour have to do with any of this?

• I actually accused OP of uncritical support (which means supporting someone/something without any criticism).

• Russia is an imperialist state. The fact that other states are also imperialists doesn’t change this fact in any way.

Current homework:

• Ask yourself why you are jumping to the defense of someone who constantly shills for an authoritarian capitalist oligarchy.

double damage

I’m not the one shilling for imperialists.

Look at the OPs post history, they post constantly in support of Russia, China and North Korea, as though Russia is in some way ideologically aligned with the other two.

I’m not going to ask GPT anything, because I’m capable of critical thought

You’re aware that the Soviet Union doesn’t exist any more, right? Like, the Berlin Wall came down 35 years ago, so when you uncritically defend Russia you are actually defending a hyper-capitalist oligarchy with the same economic system as the EU and the US, and not a “communist” opposition to that system (not say the USSR was ever actually communist either).

The glass is always full, it’s just that some of what it’s filled with is air.

Richard Dawkins once said children shouldn’t read fairy stories because they encourage magical thinking, the man is a tool.
