boston_clone··on Omega-3 is inversely related to risk of early-onset dementia
very worth it! seven years here with no negative health effects noticed; plus, you’re saving animal lives and helping sustain the planet.

natural sources for omega FAs include hemp hearts and pumpkin seeds.

boston_clone··on Omega-3 is inversely related to risk of early-onset dementia
I like to get my omegas from the following sources, no fish needed!

- hemp hearts (complete protein, goes best with oatmeal for breakfast, on salads, or in soups for an extra bit of nutty / fatty flavor)

- pumpkin seeds (also good source of iron, iirc)

- algae-based supplement (currently taking an omega3 + vit D + vit K combo capsule from nordic naturals)

You are not a carnivore, neither is any other human.

Both of your comments here, posted just one minute apart yet with completely different content, reek of LLM output.

Advocating for the removal of an abusive government agency that has been around for only a handful of years is very fucking different from professing white supremacist views.

Trying to compare those because "they're only two words!" is textbook false equivalence.

Hey it’s only the first week of February - isn’t it a bit early to be vying for most egregious example of a false equivalence?
boston_clone··on Zig Libc
I’m distraught by what’s happening there, too. Truly horrifying details emerged in the last week or so.

We must all not be discouraged from speaking truth to power, especially when power is abused - irrespective of country or creed!

ICE must be abolished. The people of Iran must have democracy. But only one of those things is within the author’s relative sphere of influence.

Be a little more curious then, friend. The author lives in Portland, which has been experiencing federal brutalization for months. Same place where the feds are repeatedly violating standards for warfare by using chemical munitions on civilians and engaging in large-scale misinformation campaigns against immigrants.

It’s almost astonishing how you found his statement “uncalled for”, while neglecting these facts.

may I recommend the 3M 6000 Series Full Face Respirator?

since the feds are using projectiles on random persons, something that is shatter resistant / impact tested for eye protection should be prioritized. pair with some 60926 filters and you should be good to keep resisting.

boston_clone··on Leaked chats expose the daily life of a scam compound's enslaved workforce
Oh, you don't have to out yourself like that; not here in public! Many people care about black lives and DEI. In fact, I'm willing to bet you probably agree with the most palatable form of DEI - jobs programs and hiring incentives for veterans.

In any case, here's a quote FTA:

>Rather than explicit imprisonment, the compound relied on a system of indentured servitude and debt to control its workers.

Not that different from the USA: https://apnews.com/article/prison-to-plate-inmate-labor-inve...

Real slavery, like what's permitted via the Thirteenth Amendment and propagated by over-policing black communities? Pretty sure the "American Left" is keenly aware of this, even if terminally-online armchair policy analysts engaging in whataboutisms aren't.

This is kinda the whole crux of prison and police reform in the US; you may want to read "The New Jim Crow". Decent primer.

not saying you’re wrong, but we have to get in the habit of sourcing our claims! whistleblowers testified to Congress about this memo that began circulating around mid-2025.

There are some neat detection bypass / compromise methods using various image formats, including PNG [0] and SVG [1]!

I imagine that folks like journalists could have that type of attack in their threat model, and EFF already do a lot of great stuff in this space :)

boston_clone··on Whistleblower leaks personal details of thousands of Border Patrol/ICE Agents
My friend, no. Again, words can have multiple meanings. Right now, when I highlight and define prototypical, I get the following:

"denoting the first, original, or typical form of something".

An example: "the phone emerged as the prototypical example of point-to-point communication".

The usage of "prototypical hacker" by tastyface above fits neatly in the "typical form", while you're using the "original form".

"Other things" most obviously being the racism caused in part by significant cognitive dissonance that uniquely affects white supremacists when having a black president.

Words also have multiple meanings, and change over time.

we have a food pyramid again? since when?
boston_clone··on Whistleblower leaks personal details of thousands of Border Patrol/ICE Agents
it seems as though you’re reaching extraordinarily far back in time to apply a definition that simply doesn’t exist anymore. hell, the time period you’re referencing (…80 years ago!) is when “gay” still meant “happy”.

obviously, you’re free to use whatever words you like, but your clinging to outdated terminology and being perpetually misunderstood is not a failure of other people.

You should try the carnivore diet and completely eliminate Vitamin C intake to prove them scientists wrong! Scurvy is just a complex myth, after all. Just like rickets, or blindness from Vitamin A deficiency.
boston_clone··on Trump says Venezuela’s Maduro captured after strikes
Yeah, and no true Scotsman would put sugar in their porridge.

Read a book. Brinkley's Rise to Globalism is a good start.

boston_clone··on Trump says Venezuela’s Maduro captured after strikes
No, but I am one with regard to US foreign policy.

Since you’re not (by your own admission), spend more time reading the globalist (1950s - present) reasons why the US meddles with foreign governments and what forcibly creating a power vacuum does for the local populace.

Then you’ll be better equipped to have a conversation with knowledgeable people about the topic at hand, instead of blithely wondering “hmm, is it actually bad when we extra-judiciously remove a head of state because we want oil?”

boston_clone··on Trump says Venezuela’s Maduro captured after strikes
Instead of strawmanning and presenting yet another false dichotomy, try answering their question.
boston_clone··on Trump says Venezuela’s Maduro captured after strikes
Then your understanding of US foreign policy and what’s currently happening is too shallow.
boston_clone··on Trump says Venezuela’s Maduro captured after strikes
You can actually “prefer” none of what’s happening.

Being honest about doing bad things doesn’t make them less bad. Doing bad things covertly is still bad.

but why put yourself in a false dichotomy?
boston_clone··on Over 40% of deceased drivers in vehicle crashes test positive for THC: Study
Is that because strong Republican-voting states are such bastions of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?

Last time I checked, places like Texas are using traffic cameras to track down women who get healthcare out of state, bragging about killing people, and posting State Troopers outside of bathrooms.

Or maybe you're talking about Arkansas, where they recently deregulated the employment of children under 16.

Or maybe you meant Florida, which led the nation in banned books for 2025.

Or maybe Tennessee where they allow for the refusal to solemnize gay marriage after the passage of HB 878.

Maybe you're alluding to states like Louisiana and Mississippi, which have the highest per capita incarceration rates in the US.

Seriously, humor me here - what in your opinion has become more "entropic" in VA since they started voting more consistently blue?

An inspiring tale of progress and change for the better! May more southern states unfetter themselves from regressive views.

Interesting. In my experience, the self-described affluent WASP-y types are exactly the kind of people that should probably smoke a joint and chill the fuck out every once in a while, lest they end up as close-minded conservatives.

Thanks for sharing!

this is surprising to hear - thanks for sharing! i still can’t help but wonder if there are some perceptive differences at play here versus something learned.
