“Journalist”

Religion is poison

Schrödingers USA is both the cause of, and the solution to every problem everywhere

The “provided devices” is the important part of that sentence

My company exclusively deploys machines with physical coverings for the camera and hardware disconnects for the mics.

I agree on that point, nobody has the right to any information about me except for exactly what I choose for them to know. Speaking from an IT professional standpoint, if I deploy a device, I absolutely have the right to know anything that happens on that device. You have to from a security perspective.

That’s why I don’t use any social media on my work laptop. Ideally that’s why social media is blocked on work machines so it’s a non-issue. Kids should understand that concept early, you do have a right to privacy but you also don’t control that device.

We just fundamentally disagree on what rights someone is afforded on a company provided devices. They can’t opt out because obviously not, you don’t get to just opt out of information security policies.

It would be a different beast if the school didn’t allow you access coursework on a personal machine without installing their bullshit, thats a huge issue.

Sooo schools should just provide devices to kids with no monitoring at all?

There shouldn’t be an expectation of privacy on school/company provided devices, that isn’t how it works literally anywhere. It’s on the parents to teach their children not to use the device for personal reasons.

Ideally the school machines should be limited to only allowing coursework and limited messaging between classmates and teachers, it’s a tool not a toy.

Idk I just can’t get upset about this. Kids and privacy is kind of a tough one to begin with, I personally think kids shouldn’t have unregulated access to communication devices at all until like 14-15, maybe.

Don’t put personal shit on work devices. This is pretty basic.

Seconding banished, it’s great with mods

Are you intellectually capable of seeing literally anything without complaining about Zionists? Like, anything at all? Every single comment you post is the same shit, we get it, be quiet.

Literally the only thing this guy posts is “but whatabout zionists”

Endlessly, no matter how irrelevant

There’s no reason why supplementation shouldn’t be possible. After all we’re already doing that

Zooming in on this statement right here, we’re already doing that, and it doesn’t work.

Obviously we can test for it (since so many people in this comment claimed that vegan brands were tested and found to be insufficient), so nothing stops us from putting taurine into the cat food to the point where it reaches the required amounts

Except for the parts where it doesn’t work

It’s that simple

It really really isn’t.

If you need to stay offended than for all means keep going.

I’m not offended by anything, I think the whole discussion is comically stupid. The research done into the subject is lacking, because it’s a bad idea and everyone involved knows that. I guess there are worse things for an internet forum to be arguing about.

Just know that you behave just like the vegans you’re so annoyed about, and it’s showing.

I feed my cats the food they need to survive, fortunately.

You don’t change society by making yourself look like a dick and making everyone just want to ignore you either

You found a study where they asked cat owners to self report all the data. As demonstrated in this thread and others, vegans are divorced from reality when it comes to what cats actually need to eat, so I’d say that’s not the most reliable source.

Additionally:

“This research and its publication open access was funded by food awareness organisation ProVeg International (https://proveg.com). AK received this award ID: Oct2019-0000000286”

Riiiiiiiight….

It’s actually more complicated than that. Of the like 6 studies done since the 90s, several found that cats didn’t absorb supplements in the same way, ie with a supplemented diet for taurine they would not find taurine in the cats plasmas after 6 weeks

And that’s the problem with this whole “but it CAN be done! I’m special!” Attitude. It leads to comments like yours that boil down to “the magic capitalism machine should just make it happen cause of course it’s possible” when the tiny amount of research done found that it’s only questionably possible, and is mostly a shitty idea.

It’s this pushing shitty ideas because someone feels like a moral superior I’m tired of.

They won’t enjoy it. We’ll do a fucking experiment, link whatever product you’re talking about. I have three cats, I’ll put a cockroach in a bowl, your soggy biscuit in another, and a piece of chicken in the third. Which will they go for?

“But let’s just assume I’m right…”

No. Don’t get a cat.

You keep making this logical jump that a cat would enjoy eating shitty food with supplements. They would not. A cat would enjoy some chicken.

Vegans do a better job of pissing everyone off about a pretty sensible topic than any community I’ve ever seen
