I agree with you on previous points, but you must know for a fact that Russia has a whole department for rewriting history in their favour that didn't fall with the Soviet Union.

That makes your long factual history lessons claim ridiculous, besides relying on historical Russia to justify current carnage is ridiculous.

NATO driven by the US definitively pokes at several beehives, and once those beehives lose diplomatically (because given the pressure we do it definitely is a loss on the world stage not an agreement) they start stinging.

Russia has an history of brutal governments when it comes to warfare, and in Ukraine they show they still don't refrain from uncontrolled barbarism. It's a bed the West helped do, but comes from an expansionist desire of both Russia and the US.

PS: I'm focusing on the US which has more impact world wide, but we just need to see France in West Africa to see the former empires are still doing their old thing under the table. Bunch of power hungry minorities making live miserable for a larger humanity is something we have everywhere.

I was now informed by my friend that over here the term biological sometimes refers to more a non-gmo nature of the product, and organic the non use of chemicals. It's still pretty messy with how they used but what she saw defining it tended to that distinction.

[–] AdNecrias@lemmy.pt 5 points 4 days ago

Latin one! And in this context in Portuguese, yeah they do translate to that.

But we still see both labels being used, sometimes in the same product. I'm saying label here because I don't think what companies use the word as and what it actually means aligns.

It means that, but both labels appear in Portuguese here. Orgânico and biológico.

Given your question I assume in English the term has a more biohazardy connotation?

Beans and rice are pretty cheap by the bag. It's all about marketing.

Vegan =/= health, salted fries, palm oil and ketchup is all vegan and I doubt you think of it as healthy.

But anyways, only reason healthy food would be cheaper than non healthy one is if there's taxes on the non healthy stuff. Non healthy stuff is sold because it's cheaper or tastier. If they can add the healthy label to sell more they will.

Have a friend that did a masters in psychology which paper was about Biological food. Anything you see with that label gets a price hike. Rarely the on the actual products tested there were feasible differences because biological isn't a well defined concept.

Father of a friend plants biological tomatoes for himself. For his peers, you just need to not add chemicals and treat that plant biologically. He however only accepted produce as biological if the seeds came from a platelet treated as such, so his biological stuff is second generation onwards.

Since the concept isn't clearly defined, it's bs and companies use whatever they can to make a buck.

Same as you, but little Japanese here...

School languages are absolutely worthless unless you kept practising afterwards. You generally aren't there wanting to learn and don't have natural conversation partnerships to practice with.

I wonder how that fares against cockroaches...

At least its salt, quite inert, not sugar

I've heard the cube with paprika tip yesterday over a conversation with my friend group but the sauce tip is new, should try it

When was that? 1800s?

[–] AdNecrias@lemmy.pt 2 points 1 week ago

Jokes aside, hope people say which language they're talking about. Mine, Portuguese, doesn't really have alternate script as far as I know, unless you you count the old mobile phone shortened typing as such
