I’m talking about the problem with the article, not problems with society or the world or anything else. No one’s stopping you from being upset at multiple problems at once. Unfortunately, I don’t have the means of reaching the arsonist nor the author of the article to make my complaints, nor the means to experience anger (alexithymia), but I can communicate with the people of Lemmy and encourage people to actually think about what they read. It’s also just a fun exercise to see how biased articles are written in the first place.

No one is making fun of the LGBQT community because of him.

Not making fun of. Promoting fear, and the idea that they are all dangerous. Rereading the comments, it’s actually more an attack on anyone who supports the LGBTQ community than on LGBTQs. I’ll quote some of them below for you.

A lipstick wearing arsonist. Sounds like your typical demokrat. (toadlick2)

Another Trans-Terrorist…that’ll by the twit 40 Years in Jail. Good, throw away the key. (Pennsyltuckian)

This is what your typical Democrat looks like. (europa2832)

Look at this poster child of the liberal left… these liberals are the most violent, the most bigoted and the greatest threat to our country… they say they are for peace… NO !!! They are not!!! Do u see Conservatives doing this?? Dont Give me that BS of January 6!!! (rockaway1)

This is the face of the left. And they are endorsing it. Nanny P and Schumer and all the crazies in that parties are endorsing violence. (Zee Chen)

I picked out the ones that are most explicit, but just about every comment is saying the same thing.

It would be more effective to “snitch” on doctors who deny such care.

I looked up “yellow journalism”. It seems to describe sensational articles, which this is, but that’s very broad. I was wondering more about the exact placement of those two words to achieve that sensational effect.

What makes it biased isn’t the truthfulness of the literal words, but what it communicates to the reader. There are ways to say that the perpetrator was wearing lipstick such that the reader understand either “transsexuals and crossdressers are violent people” or “this person happens to dress funny and their behaviour has no bearing on anyone else who does the same.” Based on the reactions in the article’s comment section, this is clearly an instance of the former.

So to summarize, it’s not a problem that looks are being highlighted. The problem is that it’s done in a way that puts a target on innocent people.

So is it sort of like shooting your self the foot long term?

I’m not sure what you’re referring to here. Masking or not masking? I would say that masking all the time would qualify as shooting yourself in the foot long term. It’s a lot of wasted energy that could be spent doing something else. When you get sufficient time to turn off and relax, it really does feel like autism is a superpower.

To avoid exhaustion and burnout

Very interesting to see how these articles are written. All it took was two words to take it from an unbiased report to a biased one: “lipstick-wearing”.

Does anyone know if there is there a name for this technique?

Productivity is how fast I’m moving towards my goal. Its end goal is to reach my goal.

About three times per day during the work day makes for ~800 times per year. Seems to be on the right order of magnitude to me.

Easy enough to write. But reading and maintaining? That’s the hard part.

I find it amazing how little space corn syrup takes up relative to how much is produced. It’s no wonder we use it in everything.

It’s the only time where it’s relevant to the conversation, no? Why would you bring it up anywhere else?

Milk first makes it possible to get the wrong ratio of cereal to milk because

1. the cereal floats and you have no idea how much you put in there
2. You can underestimate how much volume the cereal takes up and not leave enough room in your bowl

Ah, the age-old unpopularopinions dilemma. Do I upvote because I agree, or upvote because it is unpopular and I disagree?

The community I’m currently subscribed to for this: !hackernews@lemmy.bestiver.se

I like the one(s) that bring(s) in posts from Hacker News since they have a high likelihood of being interesting, and I like seeing what the people of Lemmy think of them. Other than that, I don’t think I’ve seen any others that add value to my Lemmy experience.

It allows you to compare between different package sizes for the same product, but not between different products. Our goal here is to compare different products.

Added Nesquik to the table.

if you make that kind of analysis with anything at Costco you are always going to buy the thing at Costco, which is the fundamental trade off of Costco, giving up variety for good prices on large quantities.

This kind of analysis just tells you what the costs are. If price is all you care about, then sure, you’ll just get everything at Costco. But usually, there’s much more at play than just price. This would tell you how much you’re paying for the other things you might care about, thus enabling you to make a decision on whether or not it’s worth it.

Would it be? When you buy food, it’s usually either for the nutrition content, satiety, or flavour. Absolute mass doesn’t correlate with any of these as far as I’m aware. How would you use this value?

The person you borrow from gets a small guaranteed win because you get paid a small amount for the privilege of borrowing their shares. The one who loses is whoever bought the shares at the higher price. That can be the person borrowing the shares, or it can be another person interacting with the stock market at the other end of your transaction.

I decided to do the math and compare them to my go-to cereal (Post’s Cranberry Almond).

• Post: I can get a 1.4kg box from Costco for under $10
• Farm girl: Has 4 types of cereals, all are $11 for a 280g bag, discounted to $8.25 each with subscribe and save.
• Truely: $60 for 800g. There doesn’t appear to be any cheaper options.

I’m mostly looking for easy Calories, so at 4x the cost, I can’t justify making the switch. For those who are mainly looking for protein and a convenient breakfast to fill your stomach, the Canadian versions look pretty good. Note that this says nothing of how filling they are or how good they taste.

Happy to add some others to the table for ease of comparison. Just give me the nutritional info and how much you pay for them.
