most places in the country have good tap water

Except when it doesn’t.

But it’s rare. This example comes from 8 years ago.

Translation: “I can’t refute your core argument so I’ll attack the way it was delivered.”

Returning to the idea of rehabilitating these men, I leave you with a quote:

“You catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar.”

wasting time

getting used to converting between units.

Pick one.

I’m going to hold you responsible for defending them from criticism they need to face.

These men already face the criticism, that is the driver pushing them further to become abusive and self-abusive.

What you are suggesting is cornering an animal, and then saying “Hey, we should corner it more because it’s acting aggressively.” and then acting surprised when it attacks you.

We need to offer these men a healthy way out which is culturally appropriate.

Dude, I just watched the first 30 seconds of that video.

The way that it is edited tells me that it is written for entertainment rather than informing (the quick cuts), intended to emotionally manipulate the audience (listen to the music), and likely biased because it is using an interview / podcast format. This is a secondary source of information, rather than a primary source.

Good sources to read and share are primary sources e.g. peer reviewed research articles. If there are a research articles given in the video, then you should be sharing those, not the video.

Here is an example of an article that is related to men and loneliness:

If I’m gonna waste my time, I’d rather the freedom to choose where it goes.

Anything else would be un-American.

I reckon. Is there a way to effectively filter out American politics from my Lemmy feed?

Dude, just because I point out one thing that Reagan reneged doesn’t make me a Reagan supporter.

Nah, talking about what kids eat compared to what their parents eat.

The ketchup as a vegetable controversy stemmed from proposed regulations of school lunches by the USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service (FNS)

in 1981

Mate, your hot take is older than my dad.

On September 25, 1981, President Reagan withdrew the original regulations proposed by the Food and Nutrition Service due in part to the sharp criticism from the opposition

Wow, this hot take has gone cold. Send it back.

Most of what a kid eats is what their parents eat

Did you read the article? What if most of what a kid is eating isn’t what their parents are eating?

Since that time, there has been a substantial increase in schools participating in the Community Eligibility Provision, a federal policy that allows schools in high poverty areas to provide free breakfast and lunch to all attending students.

So these kids are eating two meals a day that aren’t directly provided by their parent. Sounds like most of their meals aren’t what their parents are eating.

Also, if they are in extreme hardship, they may not even get to eat dinner with their parents.

You didn’t read the article.

It linked to a study that refutes you.

By 2017-2018, foods consumed at schools improved significantly and provided the best mean diet quality of major US food sources, without population disparities.

The large improvements at schools were associated with increased whole grains and less saturated fat, SSBs (Sugar Sweetened Beverages), and sodium.

New Zealand do not fuck about with sun safety.

Except we were kicking the can with sun screen regulation until 2022.

https://comcom.govt.nz/business/your-obligations-as-a-business/product-safety-standards/sunscreen

https://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/public/2022/0004/latest/whole.html

Until this law, sun screen lotion didn’t have to prove that they actually provided the SPF that they claimed.

depending on the context

This is exactly why these trolley problems don’t work. When we strip away all context and ask simplified questions the nuance disappears and the question becomes almost meaningless.
