I still look stuff up there once in a while but I have an auto redirect to libreddit/redlib so I never have to get spied on or advertised to by reddit directly. I used to have an account mainly for hobby stuff and r/acidmarxism but even the hobby stuff was full of insufferable redditors in the comments.

I'm genuinely glad it helps you but ngl using chatgpt as a therapist would make my mental health immeasurably worse. Just the thought of it pains me, to say the least.

idk about your city/country but its not even what I want from urban spaces lol

barely any grocery stores, everything except some hyper-overpriced bars and restaurants closes at like 6pm because of the scary homeless or whatever, unforgiving concrete steel and glass skyscrapers full of offices and the most bland housing options you've ever seen (unless maybe if you have tons of money, then there might be a penthouse.)

Its rough. Around the edges of downtown you might get some older neighborhoods with mixed land use and smaller more affordable housing buildings, if you're lucky (if you're not lucky they fully ringed the CBD with interstate highways and demolished these), but some of the other issues remain

Counterpoint, these uprisings are also happening at state schools that are full of normal people, including people with decent or good politics. The stupid ivys just get news coverage

some background. It is an art piece but not in the way you're thinking

then your job isn't just emails, it's the independent research and knowledge/experience.

But yeah, your job has to be basically pure bullshit for this to work.

Nope. I highlighted the app only because it's an existing, working solution that an individual can use today. It is not a great solution for obvious reasons. I for one only browse via lemmy-ui, so that app does precisely nothing for me. My intention wasn't to poo-poo possible solutions, but to push back on your entitled framing implying that it was such an easy problem that it must have been an intentional omission to leave it out. Other users had no problem conversing with me in good faith and not being so hostile. I agree it's an issue, and so do the Lemmy devs, it just hasn't been solved yet.

I don't care about your contribution to the thread, I mean you aren't contributing to Lemmy, the codebase, and so my patience for such a level of hostility and complaining is low.

Why so hostile? I don't see you contributing.

Anyhow, other users have provided context on where discussions are taking place on how to improve the issues you brought up. It's not a static legacy codebase, but nor do ideas spring to life without dev effort.

ooh federated tumblr would be great. We're just starting to see cross platform posting between lemmy and mastodon, lets add even more conflicting features and social cues to the mix!

Honestly though it'd be a huge undertaking but even as someone who never much used tumblr I think I'd love it.

The key difference is the use of malted barley/hops for fermentation in production. If those are used (and probably some other requirements met, like being made in a brewery?) it can be classified as a Malt Beverage (a category that includes beer), putting it under TTB (who now regulate alcohol and tobacco moreso than ATF), and the correspondingly lax labeling requirements.

Most NA beer/Seltzers fall under this, and (my speculation from this point on) you probably won't see many N/A versions of the canned mixed drinks or vodka seltzers because they'd have to comply with a whole different set of rules since the NA version wouldn't be a Malt Beverage. Its possible that the Athletic/Partake examples you cite simply didn't see any benefit to getting certified as a brewery or added the nutrition label voluntarily, or were required to because they made some specific nutritional claim elsewhere on the can.

If coca cola wanted to make what was basically a soda, but integrate a fermented malt/hop component, I suppose they could maybe get away with that. But I think the TTB would shoot them down if it was a miniscule amount of malt/hop, and honestly I'm not convinced that it'd be at all worth the effort, since the facilities used would be regulated as breweries, and the formula would be subject to TTB approval, all just to avoid a nutrition label?

Another fun fact, it seems like beverages with no significant amount of any nutrient, vitamin, or mineral could probably get away without a label too. Not sure how hard that would be to achieve without just making it water though lol
