  • Try oat milk, at least in coffee. Even people who otherwise have nothing against cow milk tend to say that oat milk is better in coffee than cow milk is. I've met only some who think cow milk suits coffee better. In my opinion oat milk is also better in cereals and porridge, but that's something people often disagree upon :)

  • The dairy company Arla would be in trouble if they had to do this :D

    Arla Finland has one of the few most prominent nazis in Finland in their board of directors. There was a bit of a scandal because of this about a year or two ago, but Arla's Finnish daughter company said "we already know, but he has promised not to be a nazi during working hours, and it's every employee's personal choice what they do in their free time." And Finland was okay with that (!!)

    Guess if I have bought their products even once after that? 🙃

  • Well said. If they did, they wouldn't really be humane. Allowing unnecessary suffering is inhumane.

  • You're just saying "most people". 60 % is "most people", but that doesn't mean you can just assume the 40% don't exist. You're jumping into conclusions.

    And no, I don't know if the numbers are 60 and 40, or even the other way around. What I'm saying that you do not have enough data to be as sure about this being a falsehood as you are.

    I do agree that it's entirely possible that the story hasn't happened, but it's not okay to deem someone guilty of something based on a guess.

    About likelihoods: if you cross a motorway on foot, you most likely will not be run over. If 10000 people cross a motorway at different places at the same moment, some of them will get hit for sure. Most will not, but that doesn't mean that nobody will. "Most people" ≠ "everyone". You haven't even told where the "most people wouldn't" comes from, but even if it did have something to it, it would still be only "most", not "everyone" or even "practically everyone".

    Internet would be a lot better place if people did less jumping into conclusions.

  • Uh, then I am sorry for the misunderstanding.

    I have been trying to convince you that you should find some argument that actually holds water, or stop playing that your argument is sound.

    In any case, you asked me to make my point, so here goes: Nothing in the post gives you enough data to claim that it's a lie. You can say that the claim sounds implausible to you, but you cannot outright tell that it's a falsehood, unless there is a reason to think so. And you say the reason to think so is that someone was doing the only logical thing, and you say – for whatever reason – that it's extremely rare to do the most logical thing in such a situation.

    It's funny how you keep dodging everything I say :)

  • Repetition does not make an unsound argument sound.

  • ...although, because selling a house ASAP if you have a loan with large payments for it, is the only logical course of action if long-term unemployment is assumed, nothing to that extent has been demonstrated.

  • Yup, because the burden of proof is on the one who made the claim. But that only allows us to say the text is not necessarily true.

    When you say the op is lying, that's a new claim, where the burden of proof is on you.

  • Thanks ❤️

    In any case, all this is very little proof that the story is a falsehood. Obviously, by default everything you read online falls to the category "this may have happened", but that's all we really have.

  • If you have a reason to believe you might be living off your savings for the next two years, you will want to maximize your savings. If you have paid enough of your house to buy the smaller and more remote one with cash, then that's what you should do.

  • No, I don't.

    Please elaborate.

  • So, basically we know it's a falsehood because it's plausible. Saying something plausible is precisely what a liar would do!

  • When you see moving to a smaller house is inevitable, it might not be worth it to delay for some additional months. Better preserve the savings so they last longer. When your economy goes south, better start more economical life right away.

  • You aren't wrong with that :)

    The problem exists, although its scale isn't as big as it first seems. On Lemmy you can write "Airbrush" and join the biggest of the communities. It's quite visible that this is what is happening in several communities. One starts growing and then that's what people choose to join, etc.

  • Same in Finland: a Californian or a Hawaiian is a Yankee (in Finnish: jenkki) here.

  • It doesn't matter almost at all which instance a community is on. People could just unite the different scuba groups into one. Basically any they see fit. I'm not sure the decentralization really causes this effect. Or does it make it too difficult to find communities? I've been plenty able to find communities from various instances, at least.

  • What niches are missing? Sports was mentioned, what else?

  • A wooden one? Or did you mean a suitcase?

  • Put your oven to heat up to maybe 175 degrees? Take some flour and sugar and salt and, I guess, baking powder? Mix in correct proportions, add enough of some form of edible fat and a suitable amount of a liquid safe for eating. Mix well. Pour in forms.

    Put the forms on a baking tray and into the oven. If you're very lucky and you remembered to add the unlisted ingredients in correct amounts, you now have something cupcake-like. Put some toppings on.

    Yoghurt.

  • ...what? Nobody you know IRL uses Facebook, Linkedin, Insragram, Bluesky, Twitter, or That Google Thing?

    How is that possible? I don't think I could find anyone here in Finland who could say what you're saying. Need more data about this case of yours!
