In my opinion, there are two key could issues with it: societal attitudes and desperation.

Society clearly discriminates sex workers, especially women, as sex work is associated with promiscuity and little limits. Ex-sexual workers are more likely to be harassed and face unwanted sexualized interactions. They have issues finding a long-term partner and may have to hide their past from everyone.

Another issue is that many people choose sexual careers not because they want it, but because it’s one of the few ways to make money quickly. This experience can be heavily traumatic, not only because of the aforementioned societal attitudes, but because of violation of intimacy and losing agency over own body.

So, legalization of prostitution is, at best, harm reduction at this stage.

Important nuance: there absolutely are people who enjoy working in the sex industry. Ideally, healthy incentives and shift in social attitudes would allow them to work in this sphere and others not to. But as things stand, we’re very much not there yet.

I think you should not be allowed to breed someone into existence when you have the date of their murder already in your calendar.

Well, that’s how we differ. All emotionally charged language aside, I’d rather see animals see some life than no life at all.

Besides, with the way you put it, this looks less and less like a genuine wish to unpack my views and more like an attempt to debate it.

I believe that we can and should make farming practices better, making a better life for these animals. And I think that, even with the views you have, you will agree it would at least be better than what we currently see.

Sure!

First off, it’s not that these animals would live otherwise. They can’t survive in the wild, the only reason they exist at all at this scale is because there is an economic incentive to keep them - namely, meat, eggs, milk etc. Would you rather have them live a short live or not even be born because their parents died in the wild?

Second, perfect is the enemy of the good. Most people won’t stop eating meat no matter what you tell them, so, regardless of your stance, a push for more ethical farming is beneficial.

A question: can you modify the site (edit its content etc.) once it’s published?

Because the uses for a never-changing site are quite limited.

What we know for certain is that plants don’t have centralized decision making place or a nervous system. Their reactions are autonomous on the level of specific tissues.

They don’t feel any pain, either. They can react to damage, but it’s just a mechanical automation.

Plants are not conscious.

At the very least, we can start by not putting them into terrible crammed conditions and not using the most brutal slaughter practices.

Doing all that doesn’t actually increase the price more than 30% - but this difference makes farmers go crazy doing all sorts of disgusting things.

Besides, a price bump could reduce the meat consumption somewhat.

Moving goalposts over and over, huh?

Add that to the dangers of oligopolies. They can really just do whatever they want at this point.

Crusts like this generally require a lot of steam in the oven

Fair enough!

And shaping/forming a loaf that stays tall when being baked on a flat surface takes skill, lots of practice and experience.

Or a fairly inexpensive machine that will do it for you. Of course though, there’s a special pleasure in making a truly artisan bread with your own hands. But hey, it’s not that hard if you know what you’re doing. Best to see it in action.

But then again, I speak from the side of low-scale industrial baking. For a home baker, all this machinery will be an overkill.

Lol, yes, it can be done, but it needs to be packed or cut from one side only, otherwise it will likely fall apart.

(Also it’s an ungodly abomination and there are certainly better options to do this with)

Baking in a rectangular shape allows you to make a space efficient bread that you can easily stack and transport. Also, it is very predictable, can fit neatly into your toaster, and can be cut in triangles.

Making bread on a flat surface allows you to minimize costs of entry (not only don’t you need the forms which are relatively cheap, you can go with simpler/cheaper ovens), and this kind of bread has a more pronounced crust, which many people like.

Also, rectangular bread is harder to leaven for a long period of time as it comes with numerous technological complications down the production line. This affects the aroma composition, making rectangular bread less attractive for those who want the traditional “bread” taste.

Baguette, as I already mentioned, has a unique crust and crumb texture defined by the shape and baking conditions. Many people like it that way.

ELI5: dough can take any shape you give it.

You can load the dough into a metallic shape and close it with a lid, and you’ll get picture 1.

Or you can make a ball out of it and leave it be on a flat surface, and it will naturally expand to look like picture 2.

Side question: narrow shape makes baguette have a more crispy texture, which many people like. It’s also usually produced using a special kind of sourdough, which makes it have unique and rich taste. People eat it as is (just biting it from one end to another) or make small open sandwiches by cutting it in slices and putting all sorts of toppings on top of them.

Beautiful answer!

A small point from someone working alongside bread industry - small bubbles in toast/sandwich bread are not due to the type of yeast used, but due to intentionally low time for second stage mixing and, as you mentioned, low time for resting and leavening. You can absolutely create huge bubbles using the very same yeast, though, if that’s your goal.

Beautiful

Happy birthday!

Back then I was in elementary school. It was fairly cozy, and life was quite a bit more predictable - classes with friends, extended curriculum, family evenings, lots of play and fun. Coming to visit grandparents on the holidays. When family needed anything at all, my grandmother has always been there, and she is why our family is still so close together, despite her passing many moons ago.

I also got my first ever phone around this time - an old used black-and-white Sony Ericsson, with buttons and 2G mobile connection. Was nice to get my first personal piece of tech. Played around with it like crazy, lol.

Overall, a lot of things have passed since then, some for the worse, some for the better. But I had a good childhood.

Now, how do you feel about turning 18?

Here on Lemmy I assume folks to be human unless proven otherwise beyond reasonable doubt.

It’s worth remembering Lemmy is so small that pushing bots just makes little practical sense. You’ll have better luck sharing propaganda on any of the subreddits with a population higher than this entire place.

No worries, answer anytime :)

Since LXC works on top of the Linux kernel, anything that works with it can be easily used as an image. For example, you can just throw any distribution .iso into it, and it will handle it as a container image. Proxmox does all the interim magic.

Say, you want to make a container with programs running on Debian. You take the regular Debian .iso, the one you use to install Debian on bare metal or VM, feed it to Proxmox and tell it to make an LXC container out of it. You specify various parameters (for example, RAM quotas) and boom, you got a Debian LXC container.

Then you operate this container as a regular Debian installation: you can SSH/VNC into it and go from there. After you’ve done setting everything up, you can just use it, or export it and use somewhere else as well.

Me. Introversion doesn’t mean individualism. We can support the community in many ways, we can participate in it and bond with it. And this makes us stronger.
