My lady is a supertaster. She can taste many notes in various foods that other people cannot. It doesn't make her hate everything. Her sister hates everything — she's also a liar. No clarity on whether her aversion to everything is neurosis or not, but I wouldn't be surprised. I'm only sure she's a liar.

(P.S. And yes, you're right, I wrote that backwards previously. Apologies. The salient point is that they merged memory spaces that were formerly separate and that's what made NT unreliable all those years.)

That's not true at all. It's just scarce and therefore expensive. For example every report I've ever read of the flavor of the meat of big cats has been positive. But they tend to be protected species, and anyway there's just not enough of them for us to all eat. Carnivore meat is desirable but inefficient.

I agree that it's economic reasons, but if those are only "promotions" then they are temporary improvements. They will need to keep the low-cost options to keep the customer traffic. Almost nobody eats at McDeeznutz because it's their favorite food, at least once they grow up and discover that there's real food that's a lot better. They eat there because it's cheap. I stopped eating there when McChickens were no longer $1. The only reason I ever ate there was that it was cheap, I stopped when it was no longer the cheapest option.

Wendy's figured this out and instituted "biggie bags" which are basically kids' meals for adults, there's no toy in the bag but they are cheap and they're based on items they can still make a profit on. McDonalds had it figured out, then forgot, and now seems to have figured it out again.

Neither of you have shown that these are not purely psychological preferences. This doesn't mean that people's preferences aren't real, because our brains are real and our minds are in there. Subconscious associations matter, you can't just hand-wave them away, so I'm not arguing that people's preferences are wrong or fake because they are psychological. But on the other hand, even at least some genetic preferences are mutable, for example people who are genetically disposed to tasting cilantro as soapy can change their perception through exposure.

I wasn't and could. It was immediately obvious. Further, at best it tasted like a really shitty, low grade burger... like you would get at Burger King. The texture was pretty close, but the flavor wasn't. It just didn't taste like meat at all. It tasted like the seasonings they put on meat.

When I look for information on plant-based meat substitutes and health, the responses are overwhelmingly that the plant-based food is at least slightly healthier, with the next most common class of response being that this has not really been studied.

They do take abuse of their platform seriously, but they only consider action abuse when it causes problems for them.

See No Evil Jose claims that they "take action quickly when we detect violations" but neglects to mention that they do everything they can not to detect them.

He says "we have tools for users to report channels that are impersonating their likeness or business" but also doesn't mention that this is the only kind of abuse they care about, and that only because it makes them look stupid when they return results to something you aren't looking for.

Janet Wozniak says "You're YouTube, you're helping dupe people out of their money" and yeah, that's the whole point of everything which is ad-supported. As far as they are concerned, that is praise.

People have to expect Google to be what they are. And since what they are is a huge ad agency, people should expect them to be hugely sleazy.

If I bought it in the USA it would be more expensive, but in Panama, it's cheaper than our grain-fed stuff. And buying a steak in their finest steak houses is drastically cheaper. And they use the same currency we do.

They have affordable health care with similar outcomes there, too.

On the flip side their beef is also based on environmental harm as ours is. They mostly plant a grass that is fast-growing but nothing but ruminants can really live on it, and it outcompetes other grass species. They've cleared a lot of land for it. Cows thrive on it but horses will starve in the same pasture, and they still use a bunch of horses for transport in rural areas.

(Side note, Panamanian law states that during the day, drivers are more or less automatically at fault if they hit a horse. During the night, it's the other way around.)

What's more sickening, an industry built on "IP theft" or the term of copyright after it's been extended due to lobbying from media megaconglomerates?

I have a problem with Microsoft, so I packed up my things and moved elsewhere when Microsoft bought it.

You always react stupidly

I've eaten cows raised only on grass in Panama. They were delicious.

Cows are not bison.

Bison roaming the plains ate only sustainable food.

In NT 3.51 there were three distinct memory spaces, Kernel, GDI, and User. The graphics drivers ran in their own memory space.
