It is probably best to listen to your doctor.
Personally, I supplement 25 µg K2 and 20 µg D3 (800 IU), because I am vegan.
2,000 IU seems excessive to me, and I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re overdosing with 8,000. I’m not a doctor tho, so idk.
I am not defending US imperialism, just criticizing a double standard.
Imperialism is a state seeking to maintain and/or extend power over other states. That is exactly what China is doing with Taiwan. Of course, unequal exchange is also a form of imperialism.
Imperialism is when you have a civil war.
That’s just wrong. What is true though is that civil wars more often than not are influenced by foreign powers trying to influence them to their own benefit.
Imperialism is cool as long as the people doing the imperialism call themselves socialists or communists 🙂↕️


We shouldn’t confuse the effectiveness of these protests with their legality. Yes, the protests moved the government to change its approach to prevent even more unrest. Still, the CCP considered them to be illegal and reacted with force, arresting participants or those that spread information about the protests.


Of course, that is also not what I would consider ‘publicly or vocally’.


I have a Taiwanese friend who is very much anti-CCP, but he does go to china for vacation every now and then.
Yes, you need to be in the right headspace, you cannot expect to vocally or publicly criticize the government and go unpunished. But politics are not everything. China is beautiful in many ways and has many great people. I think it would be a good idea to take the opportunity and make this experience. And afterwards, your opinions on china and the CCP will have a stronger foundation than they do now.
edit: you say you are politically active: is this evident from your social media accounts? That might be problematic.


Considering how often I see nsfw or nsfl stuff because it wasn’t tagged… no I don’t think so, at least there doesn’t seem to be anything widely adopted on Lemmy.
For images at least it should be possible to create a bot that downloads any uploaded image, runs it through an API like Sightengine, and then automatically removes posts or bans users. Each instance would then of course decide whether to set up such a bot, so there is not going to be any fediverse-wide automod.

I say that because Lukashenko is Putin’s puppy:


Luckily Belarus is completely sovereign 👍


bath towels: weekly bedding: every 2 or 3 weeks, depending on the season


Training good models requires lots of training data and computational resources, so the only ones who can afford to train them are big corporations with access to both. And the only objective they have is to increase their profit.


Donating blood plasma is good as it helps people in need. Sure, it sucks that there is a company in the middle making a profit, but not donating is not the solution to that problem, as it hurts the people in need more than the corporation in the middle.
I think its kinda similar to the tipping situation. Yes it sucks that restaurants don’t pay their employees properly and that you have to tip to support the employees. But not tipping hurts the employees rather than the restaurant owner.
In both cases, if we want change, we need to change the legislation.
It sure is easy to portray your country as successful, clean and beautiful if you don’t allow any free press to contradict you.
It’s not like I hate other operating systems, I just really like the idea of FOSS and try to use it whenever possible.
