That study is not saying that you should eat more foods enriched in Taurine, it’s advocating for cooking methods that do not remove the Taurine that naturally occurs in your food. Taurine is very water-soluble. So if you boil chicken, it will leech out.
Grill or pan-fry your chicken instead please…
yeah…yeah…eat that slop, you filthy consoomer…haha, you like that, don’t you… oink oink haha
I’ve been ruminating on this for a bit (love your other writing btw!) and I think there definitely are good measures of circumstantial evidence that could be used for this!
First - as others have said - preparation for before and after. Butcher tools, different kinds of conservation equipment etc. It wouldn’t exactly fit in a non-anthro situation imo, but there has to be some more natural equivalent, that is probably highly specific to their respective species. What comes to mind first are Shrikes, who impale their prey on sharp thorns or barbed wire. Even having a setup like that close to their living area might be incriminating, and Shrike-specific sub-societies would probably avoid having anything sharp around to begin with just to not seem like they’re up to something.
There definitely would have to be specialists in court that are knowledgeable about predatory behaviors in different species - although, how would you avoid bias, misinformation and just plain ol’ racism? Besides, when your goal is to demonstrate that natural urges can be overcome, it’s a bit counteractive to rely on naturalism just for the case of persecuting the bad guys.
In the same vein, the court could be taking into account whether the victim was of a species that is traditionally seen as prey. A mouse getting preyed on by a cat just sounds a lot more feasible than a cat eating a lion. Although, with Sci-Fi, anything can be possible 🌈 But again, if they’re sentient, the predators would grasp the rules at some point and specifically pick prey that seems unreasonable just in case they get caught.
There could be other common counter indications as well; If the victim is buried for example, or the corpse is disposed of in a way that would make future predation impossible. I imagine that if someone did genuinely commit murder, they’d make sure to drench the victim in acid or some other substance of the sort, just to make sure that they can’t be implicated for predation. Being in possession of such substances for no good reason would make it easy to tell that a murder was premeditated too.
That might not count for species of carrion eaters though. A court could argue that a vulture who buried their victim could still return weeks later and commit predation on the rotten carcass. That again would be a very naturalistic argument for a society that claims to have overcome naturalistic instincts, but it definitely would be interesting to explore as a concept.
You could go a route of psychological plausibility - would a sentient predator really want to see their prey as a person, or would they prefer to mentally unlink and prey on someone they don’t know and can objectify into just being meat? I’d wager the latter would be more common. So if the two involved parties had a history of social interaction, it would make predation less plausible in all but the most fucked up cases. (Those might even involve some messed up form of grooming and social isolation in anticipation of the crime)
Ending on the point of fucked up cases - how would a court deal with a case of a herbivore going specifically against their nature to commit predation? Would the jury be unwilling to prosecute despite overwhelming evidence, just because they’re hung up on it being against natural instincts?
I think you’ve got a very neat system to explore such questions, looking forward to reading more of your writing :)
There also are a lot of tourists coming to the Christmas markets, sometimes from quite far away.
Those people either completely take public transit (they’ll be drinking anyways, so public transit is easier to get back home) or go for the park + ride offers that pop up during that time. It works pretty well.
That is dangerously shitty shoulder press form. Jesus is gonna have elbow issues, messed up rotator cuffs and underdeveloped scapulas :/
Oh that! Loved that video haha
Your wording made it sound like hbg was the one losing 3 channels, not the one who killed them, so I was confused at first too
Hmm, maybe ReVancedExtended would solve your problems? I know my RvM has no issues with custom patches even without root, but it might just be a device/os version weirdness. I’ve heard RvX is overall better with the non-root support, but I’ve never used it personally
That’s weird! My phone isn’t rooted either (Moto G100) and I’ve only manually updated Revanced once since it was released. I don’t think it has ever lost my settings either. Is the option “Auto Update Patches” checked in your Revanced Manager?
Install Youtube ReVanced and disable shorts altogether! Doing that saved me years of lifetime haha
oh, it’s that funny little picture of a piggy again!
Raccoons! I can’t believe we don’t already have them here!!
Binding of Isaac! I must have watched at least 2000h of Northernlion playing it and have complete knowledge of everything about that game. But I do suck at it and have played maybe like 10h in total just cause I don’t have the hand-eye coordination for it haha
I’ve started dating a bit late and let me tell you: you can’t really be behind. Yeah, there’s some generic interpersonal experience you get from dating, but that maxes out at like, 3 months of dating. So I’d put someone who’s dated for 3 months and someone who’s dated for like 6 years at basically the same point experience wise, if they’re both put into a situation where they’re back on the dating market after it.
You do build personal rapport with a person during a relationship, but people start and stop those all the time - everyone’s on a different schedule, you can’t really compare yourself to that.
Oh, and on the weight loss point - don’t sweat it!! Being chubby is way less of a dealbreaker when you’re a guy. And the people who do mind aren’t people you should be giving a chance to anyways 🤷
Fitness can be a lot of things. Health can be a lot of things. It just really depends on what your goals and needs are.
If there are heart problems rampant in your family tree, you might want to consider strengthening your cardiovascular system through things like running or biking. Give C25K a shot and see how you feel. Maybe do some Maffetone style training after that just to learn to deal with running slowly and consistently.
If you’re worried about brittle bones, arthritis and muscle issues when you age, try some resistance training. Your local gym will definitely have beginner courses available that show you all of the machines in a basic training circuit. Then you just play around with weight amounts and set ranges depending on more granular goals.
If your goal is just aesthetic (also completely valid), it’s probably a diet thing or a combination of cardio/strength training that will get you there.
Generally, I’d say just pick a thing that you reasonably like (don’t expect to love it right away, don’t drop it when you hate it atm) and stick with it until you’ve convinced yourself that you’re a “fitness person”. Just that self perception will be an absolute game changer!
For me personally, just that change in self perception has brought me from “ugh it’s sunday I need to go on a run because my training program wants me to go on a run on sunday” to “oh it’s sunday, time to go on my run cause that is what I do”. No need for convincing, no need for motivation, no need to tax my brains’ go/no go mechanisms.
interesting! I’ve never heard of people preferring to crumple their paper.
Not embarrassing, just disappointing.
Precum contains next to no sperm, so it’s really unlikely to get pregnant from it. Apparently Sex ED universally exaggerates that chance so that people don’t get the dumb idea to rely on pulling out.
I mean it’s probably the right way to teach it that way, but you know, if someone theoretically had a bit of an impregnation kink, it sure would make them sad :(
easy, you move to a different community or instance.
