I suppose if those plant-based diets were based on peer-reviewed scientific studies and shown to cause no nutritional, physical, or mental harm to the animals then it wouldn't be animal abuse. But I haven't seen the threads so I'm assuming that wasn't the case.

That's what they want you to believe

Fwiw I saw news articles about the planes being vandalized before I saw this one about Stonehenge, so the headlines do exist. Everyone's news feeds are different though.

Should be more like, "teaching to question authority instead of blindly accepting it"

My dad doesn't drink alcohol, but is one of these people. He drinks coffee pretty much exclusively, it's rare to see him with even a cup of water or anything else. He falls asleep on his couch with an empty coffee mug sitting beside him all the time.

I go there still when I want product recommendations that aren't full of marketing/ads. If I use a search engine to search for example, "dashcam recommendations," I get a million results that are sponsored, SEO-optimized, or otherwise garbage. If I go on Reddit, I'll find an entire community devoted to the topic with seemingly real people discussing the pros/cons of all different models.

I've tried searching with Lemmy but most of the time I can't find the answers I'm looking for so end up crawling back to Reddit.

I absolutely don't go there to doomscroll like I used to, I've thankfully moved on from that life.

I don't see anywhere they've done either of those things. The closest they've come is saying on Facebook that they'll stay out of the "policy debate": https://www.facebook.com/ChickfilA/posts/10151226208515101

Being decent to every human shouldn't be considered politics.

They could even have one of the commands on the cheatsheet be to hide it, so anyone who doesn't want it will immediately see how to turn it off.

FWIW California at least allows new fathers to take 12 weeks paternity leave. My company normally only offers 4 weeks of paid paternity leave, but my coworker managed to get 12 by living in California. I believe he only got paid for 4 weeks of it since I don't think the rule requires employers to pay the whole thing, but at least he got a lot of time off to help his wife and bond with his new son.

I got travel insurance recently for a hiking trip with my wife. We had an emergency and my wife had to be airlifted out by helicopter, and we were so glad to have the travel insurance because it covers emergency evacuation up to $10,000 (and the helicopter costed around $5,000). Awesome, right?

Well... actually no. Turns out, the terms of our policy dictate we needed to call insurance first and have them organize the airlift. Since we dialed 911 and organized the helicopter ourselves, our insurance won't cover it. I guess it's my fault for not reading the fine print, but it feels pretty scummy from the insurance company. Even if we had read the fine print, in the moment I don't think I would have remembered as my immediate instinct is to contact emergency services.
