Bad Influence.

This, I find it weird that I keep getting people saying "YOU CAN'T MOCK BARRON HE'S JUST A CHILD!"

He was a child 8 years ago, people age.

(I will admit, even I forget this from time to time... Like when I saw Ant MAn 3 and was like "Wait, why's the cute little girl who basically sold these movies by being best character now a generic angsty teen.... oh... right... live action, the actress aged... and there's been a time skip.. and a tonal shift... right"

Honestly don't do anything you wouldn't want a fascism regime knowing about on any PC running Windows or MacOS or any smart phone.

On that note, what Linux distro are best for privacy?

Depends on your opsec scope and use case. It also depends on the software you are running ontop like your browser or other services that probably have even more data on you.

Admittedly I'm not keeping up on this, so maybe outdated but it used to be Tails.

yes they are literally banned at most schools in my state. Along with books that have LGBT charicters in them

It's unlikely that insects (or any animals for that matter) are a better use of the land, because ultimately animals need to eat plants, too, and they use up a good chunk of the energy themselves.

Occasionally, you can grow grass where proper crops won't and animals can graze there, but to my knowledge, this isn't particularly relevant in practice, because farmers will typically feed more nutrious food to minimize the time until the animals can be slaughtered.

You talk about complete protein, by which I assume you mean the amino acid distribution, but I find it hard to believe that the inefficient land use of animals is offset by them converting some of the amino acids to be better suitable for us.
Because ultimately, if you manage to grow more lentils and whatnot, you can totally just eat more lentils to reach your 100% of each amino acid.
Wealthy cultures eat significantly more protein than is actually needed, for example.

Kali took Tails' place a few years back, I think.

Footloose amusingly enough as well.

Points for self awareness, and for Streisand effect.

As others have told you, yes. And the worst part is the justification is usually because Winston and Julia have sex. And it's not titillating. Orwell was not exactly writing erotica.

Flying Squid

Holy shit, how was this not bigger news? I like to think I keep up with things but this is the first time I have read any of this.

Barron could have genetically predisposed mental health issues because he's a Trump. Look at the rest of them.

Insects can be fed on food scraps.

The proper reaction to finding out that librarians are legally barred from lending certain classic novels to children is not, "oh that's okay, they can just download it." Especially when we're literally talking about a book dealing with suppressing speech.

Flying Squid

What age are you talking about? I read it for the first time when I was 13 or so. These library censorship laws do not differentiate between 6 and 13. They just make it so that everyone under 18 can't access it.

Flying Squid

In what way is the novel inappropriate?

MacN'Cheezus

On the contrary, I'd say that's an instructive example demonstrating why the book continues to be relevant over 75 years after its release.

Also, if anything, banning it would likely only serve to increase interest in it since the best way to get a rebellious teenager to do anything is to tell them they aren't allowed to do it.

Flying Squid

It's only instructive if the kids you think should download books that they can't get at the library are taking your advice to do so. And I doubt they're on Lemmy.

Furthermore, as the husband of a librarian who is (if she is still in Indiana when they pass the bill they intend to pass) at risk of imprisonment if she allows children to have access to books on a ban list, I have to tell you that this is about more than just kids having access to a specific book.

He looks so sad about not getting the book lmao
