I liken it to sugar addictions. It’s not comparable to drug addictions, but the cravings are intense and people are effectively addicted to the flavor. 18 months into my allergy and I still have really intense cheese cravings.
Fellow dairy allergy in the US here, though I’m fortunate it’s not anaphylactic so I don’t have to worry about dying. I also am constantly frustrated by dairy being in everything. And so many places don’t offer proper allergen menus! Something about the proteins in milk give it a uniquely addicting flavor, it’s what makes McDonalds fries so delicious. Wouldn’t be surprised if there was also a dairy industry lobbying thing going on, making sure every product has unnecessary milk in it.
I posted on your first comment when there was no argument happening at all. You chose to interpret my comment as an attack on your morality, which is a reflection of your mindset.
That’s not the conversation I jumped into, are you paying attention to who you’re replying to? Someone said “what a terrible day to be literate” when they were told what loli and shota meant, because they were naturally disgusted, and you told them to calm down. I told you their reaction was natural, and you keep trying to drag me into a different conversation. I really don’t understand the argument you’re trying to start with me. People are naturally disgusted by child porn, whether it’s real or fake. None of the comments I’ve replied to have been about morality, and I’ve made no judgements one way or the other. Your interpretations of my comments are a reflection of your mindset.
You’re starting an argument about something I never said. I said it’s natural for people to be disgusted by drawings of child porn. I don’t know why my statement made you so defensive.
This happens to me on lemmy.world as well, not using the app, curious that your move fixed it though. I think it might be a general lemmy issue rather than instance specific
Thank you, I just read your comment about how we grow as we grow, and it reflects my sentiments exactly. I really like the way you write, it has harmony. We can’t expect others to feel how we feel, and being full of rage won’t move us in the direction we want.
I understand where you’re coming from, and I’m glad you made the move to lemmy. I myself came from Reddit just a few days ago and I have no plans to return. I also understand being frustrated by people not wanting to leave Reddit, you are right that it limits the potential of communities on lemmy, and it sucks. I’m not saying people shouldn’t talk about how they wish more redditors would leave.
For me, I’m just sick of the vitriol and hate that is all over this thread. People seem genuinely furious at the notion that not everyone is willing to join their crusade. I’m not sure if you’re justifying the vitriol or just the sentiment that people really should leave Reddit. If justifying the vitriol, your comment kind of reminds me of formerly fat people saying “I lost weight because I was bullied for being overweight, therefore it is actually a good thing to keep bullying fat people. I’m actually doing this because I care about their health, they’ll feel so much better and be so much healthier when they lose the weight!” Some people respond well to being mocked and shit on, most don’t. It just isn’t helpful and for 99% of people it just fuels negative feelings rather than a drive for change.
Jesus, this is the energy I wish was left behind on Reddit. People staying on Reddit does not impact you in any way, why does it enrage you to this extent? Who gives a shit if they continue to subject themselves to ads and bring under the control of a corporation? They don’t care, why do you? It is a waste of your energy, and the sheer toxicity of calling them dumbfuck cowards, saying they’re as bad as spez, is just ridiculous and pathetic.
Maybe I should switch to a smaller lemmy, if this is the vibe redditors want to bring to lemmy.
You’re right but you’re also kind of a dick about it, unnecessarily. I’ve been seeing all kinds of posts about the positivity on lemmy, this doesn’t match the vibe dude
The first non-fiction book I read for fun is probably still my favorite. I used to hate nonfiction books, but randomly picked up Dead Mountain: The Untold True Story of the Dyatlov Pass Incident one day. A group of experienced mountain climbers died on a Russian mountain in very mysterious circumstances, leading to all kinds of wild theories from the KGB to the supernatural.
The author essentially becomes a detective, and the book alternates between his experience piecing together the mystery and the journal entries of the group that died. It’s fascinating and was impossible to put down.
It sparked my love of non-fiction and I have since read dozens of others. I left the book a glowing review on goodreads and the author actually liked my review, I fangirled for a bit ngl.
