Oh, thanks for that information!

And we will continue to support them 100% of the way, so as to keep the duopoly and the status quo of supporting genocides all over the world.

More forever wars where the working class continue to be killed off, while the owner-class and their lackeys rake in their profits and natural resources.

Good luck in life, hope all is well!

Don’t forget to report

Amid a growing partnership between China and Russia, Mandarin has been growing in popularity across Russia as a foreign language of choice, a trend Putin said was due to developing contacts across economics, politics and society.

Putin, who speaks fluent German but has also taken lessons to improve his English, said that pupils should not forget the importance of English.

Russian, English, Tatar, German and Chechen are the most widely spoken languages in Russia, according to the 2022 census. While Mandarin is spoken far less, it has been growing swiftly in popularity in recent years as a foreign language.

English is the world’s most spoken language with about 1.5 billion speakers, followed by Mandarin Chinese with about 1.1 billion speakers, and then Hindi, Spanish, Arabic, French, Bengali, Portuguese, Russian and Urdu, according to Ethnologue, a language research centre.

Feel free to continue to think that way, but I will continue to disagree.

Dissidence =/= troll

I don’t agree with your smears.

I posted the possible source that started this.

Thanks for the chat though.

Joining in the lemmy circle jerk of name calling anyone that does not align to your thinking, nice.

Was this the article that started it? Do you have the thread or would an archived link be required to see it?

Vegan versus meat-based cat food: Guardian-reported health outcomes in 1,369 cats, after controlling for feline demographic factors [Andrew Knight, Alexander Bauer, Hazel Brown | Published: September 13, 2023]^[1]

Abstract

Increasing concerns about environmental sustainability, farmed animal welfare and competition for traditional protein sources, are driving considerable development of alternative pet foods. These include raw meat diets, in vitro meat products, and diets based on novel protein sources including terrestrial plants, insects, yeast, fungi and potentially seaweed. To study health outcomes in cats fed vegan diets compared to those fed meat, we surveyed 1,418 cat guardians, asking about one cat living with them, for at least one year. Among 1,380 respondents involved in cat diet decision-making, health and nutrition was the factor considered most important. 1,369 respondents provided information relating to a single cat fed a meat-based (1,242–91%) or vegan (127–9%) diet for at least a year. We examined seven general indicators of illness. After controlling for age, sex, neutering status and primary location via regression models, the following risk reductions were associated with a vegan diet for average cats: increased veterinary visits– 7.3% reduction, medication use– 14.9% reduction, progression onto therapeutic diet– 54.7% reduction, reported veterinary assessment of being unwell– 3.6% reduction, reported veterinary assessment of more severe illness– 7.6% reduction, guardian opinion of more severe illness– 22.8% reduction. Additionally, the number of health disorders per unwell cat decreased by 15.5%. No reductions were statistically significant. We also examined the prevalence of 22 specific health disorders, using reported veterinary assessments. Forty two percent of cats fed meat, and 37% of those fed vegan diets suffered from at least one disorder. Of these 22 disorders, 15 were most common in cats fed meat, and seven in cats fed vegan diets. Only one difference was statistically significant. Considering these results overall, cats fed vegan diets tended to be healthier than cats fed meat-based diets. This trend was clear and consistent. These results largely concur with previous, similar studies.

Joining in on the lemmy circle jerk of name calling those that don’t fall in line to your status quo.

I am not disputing that claim.

I am pointing out the “science” that started the whole event.

IIRC, it was a reputable source, not just some random website talking conspiracies.

Smear those that don’t follow the status quo.

The lemmy circle jerk continues.

some moderation or the loudest but stupidest would have the rest of us unable to have discussions

I don’t agree on this; it is just using it as an excuse to censor dissent.

Not giving them meat will make them sick and possibly die.

Yes, many on Lemmy pointed that out, and enough reports were made that admins got heavily involved in the managing of the community, which should be a huge concern for those that left Reddit for similar reasons.

Discussions are good for those that can handle critical thinking, but it seems that any “science” not aligning to the status quo will be censored.

This goes back to more enforcement and more interference with what moderators want vs. admins vs. users.

IMO: Like our society and our social media, Lemmy is becoming much more similar to a Police State.^[1].

You really like to smear people anywhere you go.

Can’t expect much from Satan, you bring shame to your name.

it’s not up to admins to decide what is disinformation and what is not.

I agree, we are becoming much more similar to other social media sites.

Third party streaming sites shutting down.

Censorship of dissidence discussions due to “misinformation,” “disinformation,” and only allowing “science.”

Our science institutions and media are just as corrupt as our politicians; that is why critical thinking should be encouraged instead of more censorship to baby the people.

Great choice!

6 Reasons Why Two Dogs Are Better Than One^[1]

One Dog Versus Two: All Pros and Cons^[2]

Only Stick With Having One Dog If:

1. You don’t have time to take care of a second dog.
2. You don’t have the financial means to support a new pet.
3. You are content and happy with just having one.
4. Your partner or family does not want you to.
5. Someone in the family is allergic to dogs. Having too many pooches increases the risk of dog allergies. One is manageable.
6. You have not found the best and compatible second dog yet.
