You can’t just say “hurt durr Americans are just irresponsible;”

Actually, I can. That’s why americans are more obese and have more credit card debt - it all boils down to irresponsibility.

I’m trying to have a conversation about what it would take to actually solving the problem here

Solving the problem would be rather simple, subsidize healthy food so a cucumber doesn’t cost 6$. Make mandatory cooking classes in school so kids know how to cook, at least to some extent. The magical word is “education”.

even if the problem really were that Americans were more irresponsible on average compared to people from other countries

There is no “if”. They are.

there would have to be a systemic reason why

No. It boils down to people eating shitty food and not knowing/having no interest in knowing how to cook.

Like, we can argue all day about american processed food being full of additives and sugar and high fructose corn sirup etc, which is certainly the case, but at the end of the day, the people who eat it know that this is the case, so they are irresponsible, and if they don’t, it once again boils down to education.

Time to look for other services then.

Good. Maybe we can go back to paying for our services instead of getting tracked everywhere we go.

I posted you a fucking link to 6th century white jesus german art you fucking moron. My god, you’re genuinely a fucking fruitless discussion partner. Go fuck off now, cheerio.

Eating health is a responsibility of an individual.

Trying to blame the omnious evil system instead of the responsibility of each individual is absolutely missing the point.

Hard to attack an atomic super power

You can’t take an offensive against the information war because that would quickly result in authoritarian practices where certain kinds of information are suppressed - you do not want to go there at all.

Social media killed media literacy, that’s the issue. We need to rebuild that.

Yes, you learned that one person has 5 rentals - that’s one more person. That’s why I said these people exist, but in small numbers.

A vast majority of apartments is controlled by large corpos.

Depends a lot honestly - in my experience, there’s two types of landlords.

1. The person that inherited/bought an apartment, but doesn’t want/can’t live in it right now (because it’s really remote, for example). They often buy these as “retirement homes”, so something they can live in when they no longer work. While they don’t live in it, they rent it to other people. The reason for that often is because their job requires physical presence and renting an apartment near their job is just cheaper if you factor in rent from the bought property.

2. Large corporations that buy up houses left and right, make a few minor changes that classify as “modernizations” and then jacking up the rent by 33%. Those can go fuck themselves.

This omnious “landlord” that owns like 10 properties and only lives off of the rent is rare. I know a single person that does that, he inherited a company from his dad, sold it like 30 minutes after he became owner, built 3 houses with 4 apartments each and is now chillin. And I don’t even feel like that’s a “bad” thing, because he has literally built those houses - they would not even exist without him.

German art of jesus.

I don’t know polish so idk what to look for, but I’m very certain I’d find some white jesus art from that timeframe from a polish artist.

Please fuck off, you lemmy.ml people are fucking uninformed beyond imagination but pretend you know everything. You are so obnoxious. Get out of my feed.

Have you heard of a concept called trade mate

Yes. That’s why I have never said that nobody has ever seen one. Just that it’s a rare occasion.

Also you keep going back to 'black people" like wtf is this discount American eugenics take … But none of this even matters you turned into a race thing

Because the initial post I responded to was literally “Why he white tho”. I didn’t start the war.

Bro the religion is middle eastern

Catholicism is not middle eastern

the 14th century did a white jesus start coming up in some obscure art and didn’t really take off till the 20th century

Factually untrue - white jesus has already been a thing in the 4th - 6th century - even tho a lot less common. However, agreed that most depictions of white jesus are from that time - which does not change my point at all. They had no way to quickly travel during the renaissance.

Tel Aviv wasn’t a thing back then

No really? Crazy. Do you think ryanair didn’t exist back then either? :o

It’s almost as if I tried to make funny comparison, not a factual argument.

I can already tell you’re not at all well versed in this topic

Classic lemmy.ml L take. I swear you guys are so tiring.

Because in many cases, the weight is the problem.

Being obese has so many related sicknesses. From having sleeping problems to back pain to knee pain to more serious stuff like cardiac arrests - being fat brings so many health problems.

which points squarely at an environmental cause

No, it points to people eating processed food and other shit. Guess what, you can still be healthy if you eat healthy.

Wait that’s a question? Of course they are doing that.

Russia is also behind man of the far-right parties in europe, like the AfD in germany and the GRN in france. It’s old news at this point honestly.

If I repeatedly cut myself, it’s time to do something about the cutting instead of just bandaging it up.

Because many haven’t? It’s not like people in medieval europe could take a quick trip with ryanair from tel aviv to berlin lmao. Black people in central europe were rare enough that many people have never seen one in their life. Most of them were around the borders of todays southern europe.

I mean, yes, black people were present but in very small numbers, and their presence was rare enough that they often stood out significantly in the historical record. The most were probably around the southern borders of todays europe, like spain, italy and greece, but black people in todays germany, poland or even further up north were an absolute rarity. Even in southern europe, black people were rare enough that many people only saw a handful of them in their lifetime.

Most maga nuts dont really accept the pope AS religious leader but instead some fat, wealthy fuckerfronm live tv, which is funny to think about.

Probably because 95% oft all people in the medieval age and prior (where this specific depiction of portrait-jesus emerged) have never seen a black person all their life - including artists. Can’t blame people for drawing people as they know them.

wdym “you’re” I’m not american either lmao.
