I didn't say it had no effect. Again this supports my point that it has a small effect. The glucose spike is about 10% higher with oat flour than it is with oat flakes. Both are still relatively small spikes. The product under discussion is a mixture of both of these - and isn't on most UPF lists.

why are you responding as if he said it only exists in one country? we can all read the post you're replying to and that isn't what it says

that doesn't contradict my point grinding grains does make them slightly easier to digest but it does not turn a complex carb into a simple sugar and as with cooking with heat people have been doing it for thousands of years it certainly isn't new

r @recombobulating.bsky.social · 16h
no the complex carbs in oats are different from simple sugars at a molecular level you cannot turn one into the other by chopping it into smaller pieces they don't make blades that small

I don't live in a place where people need a time machine in order to remember things that happened in the past And I didn't say it was a golden rule It wouldn't apply if the political establishment was popular with the public

no it's just a post from someone who can remember things that happened more than a month ago it's a bit concerning if you think that would require the ability to time travel

the process of cooking food with heat breaks down cell walls and means you can absorb more calories from it that's why people started doing it that doesn't mean it's unhealthy and tainted and wrong

daring to contradict establishment dogma seems to be working out pretty well for them so far while the centrist approach has led to the most unpopular PM in polling history

how does that relate to what I said? you seem to have taken my post quite personally for some reason but I wasn't replying to you

becoming more popular with the political establishment means becoming less popular with the public because the establishment isn't popular with the public hope this helps

you're still acting like Jewish people all share a hive mind and have the same opinion on this issue that's messed up

r @recombobulating.bsky.social · 19h
Multiple British Jews have also spoken in support of it. No demographic is a monolith. It is dehumanising to try and use Jewish people as a rhetorical prop like this. You should own your opinions rather than trying to use others as a shield for them.

neurodiversity is an existential threat to the establishment because it is a frame where all human minds are considered to be human minds rather than one where only those who are willing and able to pretend to be 'rational actors' get to count as people

a big part of what radicalised me was realising that the beliefs I spent so long getting over in therapy were entirely normal to people who consider themselves normal/rational/sane even though they were obviously also being made miserable by them

'everybody' and 'nobody' as synonyms for 'the in group' and 'the out group' is something I can't stop seeing now that I've noticed it I feel like I agree with nobody a lot more than I agree with everybody

Witness this instance of clever linguistic framing: 'we need to be honest' about [insert extremely reactionary talking-points that frame migrants as objects, rather than subjects]. Okay, I'm being honest: this is a load of bollocks that deserves nothing but explaining its rhetorical chicanery

The rhetoric of ‘perfection’ is so telling here, just completely minimises the harm being done RIGHT NOW to trans people and immigrants and other vulnerable people. Violence is viewed as an ‘imperfection’, and anyone speaking out against it is seen as ‘cynical’ or ‘negative’.
A post from user Sarah Murphy which reads, “Some v negative responses to posts about Burnham. I understand the cynicism. What I don't understand is the refusal to wait and see and to look for the positives. Politics cannot be about perfection. It's compromise. It's effective communication... and persuasion. Why not be prepared to be persuaded?”

I think sometimes people think they can/do understand the world in the same way that LLMs are claimed to, as a collection of decontextualised tokens of information, and that means they take it even more personally when someone says that isn't really how it works in humans in practice.

I went to school in the '90s (in the UK) and didn't really have to memorise stuff. We learned about it as something of the past that education had generally moved on from.
