It’s because they dissolve within 5 minutes of use after poking them through the plastic lid.

I was gifted a metal collapsible one recently because of my bitching about it and it’s a better experience.

That’s what I try to explain to my friends. Keto can be looked at two ways.

Red keto - mostly meat, eggs, cheese

Green keto - getting a majority of nutrition from vegetables and avocados, etc

The red keto diet isn’t as good for you as green keto is.

The whole point is that there is a lack of ethics in China. Me saying that doesn’t mean China is the only one, just one with means and ability.

How to use this, and what to do with it, need to be discussed globally. Because whatever is done with it will have far reaching impacts.

We’re comparing China and the USA. That’s the topic.

There’s a reason Florida currently has thousands of vacancies in teaching positions and is one of the bottom 10 states in terms of education.

Teachers are still free to do what they want and express their opinions (i.e., staying and risking prison, leaving the state, not working as a teacher, being politically active, teaching outside the classroom).

Book burning and expressing your opinion are protected rights. It’s absolutely embarrassing that the law exists, but the law will be challenged in court.

Discourse doesn’t happen in China. If the government wanted, you just go to prison and they throw the key away. That’s if you’re not killed outright. No discussion, no politics, nothing.

The USA has freedom. China does not.

EDIT - Ironically, even you and I discussing this online is forbidden in China. You’re not allowed to express your disgust with problems of the Chinese government or state.

Nah. That’s a strawman argument there. Killing someone is not equivalent to saying something offensive or burning books.

Of course they can. They might get in trouble or even fired. But they can still say whatever they want. They are also protesting on both sides of it, too, as is the right. The great American discourse.

Well, book burning is kinda dumb because most of them, if not all, are already digitized. It’s a statement at this point in time. While really stupid and backwards, expression is still a right and freedom that Americans enjoy.

This is unlike other countries where you can be thrown in jail for something even lesser and never have a recourse or trial.

And that makes the image being censored ‘okay’?

Trying to hop on that ADHD train.

Randomly have green lights on my commute so I don’t have to slow down goddamnit.

Exactly, you can’t control when it happens. So hello spawning thousands of bills at the local swimming pool.

Bigger plot twist it applies too well and you use it once and go to jail.

Is Kim running low on food again? I feel I read something about a missile being fired every other week.

I only enjoy it after I’m done with it. Never before or during the workout. I still do it, just it’s pulling teeth everyday.

Still getting used to Lemmy! I’m not getting notifications about when I’m being responded to. I dunno.

The “good guy with a gun” thing is absolutely hard to swallow, I can agree with that. But you must concede that if it wasn’t true, why would the President and most politicians making gun laws have a security detail with guys that are armed with guns? Why would the police carry guns? Why do banks have security guards that carry guns?

It’s also a weird argument to say that I have a 1/100 chance of being rescued by a guy with gun Vs being killed.

So the answer to defending yourself or others from the guy with the knife is what? Wait for someone else, like Uvalde? Be a meat shield? Even if it’s 1 out of 100, I would rather not wait to be hurt.

Devil’s advocate here, maybe he would’ve been stopped by a teacher with a gun before he got to even 1.

EDIT - or someone. If you were personally there with the ability to stop a madman with a knife and defend a child, are you saying you wouldn’t use that power to stop him? I’m not talking anybody else here, I’m talking you, the reader.

EDIT2 - so what’s the answer to this situation? I want to hear the ideas of those downvoting. Discourse is the opportunity, not a wall.
