Yeah i believe you can break a cast iron, it will snap instead of bend, but i have no idea how hard you'd have to drop it. It also probably would damage the glass

Funny and horrifying.

I don't know your glass cooktop, but i'd be shocked if the weight of a cast iron was enough to damage it. Does this mean you also wouldn't put a cooking pot full of water on it? Mine had no problem, didn't even get scratched which i was worried it might.
That said i do think cast irons can be too heavy for some people, especially when it's full

it's so much better than stainless
debatable but i think so
it takes a little maintenance
everything needs maintenance in the sense that you have to clean it. jokes aside, the only maintenance it needs is to burn oil in it if the seasoning got a little damaged for any reason
can't cook anything tomato based
you can, it's not great but won't ruin it
eight coats of oil you have to burn onto it before you can use it
that's not true, all cast iron pans come pre-seasoned from the factory
you can cook fried eggs and steak
that is true
even after seasoning it everything will still stick to the pan
not really, it's pretty non-stick
to clean it you gotta heat it up then dry salt scrub then re-season
not really, you only need to do that if the seasoning got damaged
if water ever touches it the entire thing will disintegrate
that's not true, you'd have to leave it in water for days to get it to rust
things that aren't mentioned: you gotta use it regularly otherwise it gets sticky; you can use metal tools like knives and spatulas directly in the pan that would demolish any teflon; the seasoning is more resilient than people think, you can even wash it with dish soap; the seasoning actually gets stronger when you fry fatty things in it (grilled cheese, steaks, eggs, sausages); it's very simple, durable, rustic, old technology, and incredibly cheaper than skillets of a similar quality (excluding cheap teflon pans); you can unrust it in your garage and even weld it back together if it breaks, which is sick as hell.

Over the years i've torrented with no VPN, Tunnelbear, NordVPN, Mozilla VPN, and Proton; i'm pretty sure all of them messed up my torrenting in some way, not necessarily by making the connection slower, but by making some peers invisible and making me invisible to some peers.
And then there was Soulseek, which had me trying and failing to set up port forwarding. It was complicated and still didn't work as well as it would have if i didn't have a VPN.
Incidentally, i do need a VPN to torrent because i've gotten two fine-threatening letters already

It's undeniably better for you to not worry, but also the ability to not worry is undeniably privileged since it means you're not personally affected.
Also i just don't think it's true that we can separate our issues from the third world's issues, they are connected, and the very uncomfortable fact is that the connection often is our benefitting from their exploitation. That's not as true as it once was, colonialism is different now, but it's still true, i own countless cheap items thatwere manufactured by exploited workers in other countries.

The trend on social media is idle outrage, it's overexposing ourselves to the most devastating and most infuriating information while doing nothing about it. I've seen a lot of Gaza footage but i haven't done anything other than donate e-sims and upvote memes.
I don't blame anyone for wanting out of that. If you're not going to do something about politics, then you might as well not let it poison your social media. If you are doing something about politics, then you already know to step out of online flame wars, or you should know.
Of all human emotions, rage is the one that's best at keeping us engaged, so for-profit social medias feed us rage bait constantly to keep us on their platform, and one great way to do that is through politics. Here on Lemmy, the same is done for internet points. I see no point in either because neither leads to action. In fact there's incredible danger in being politically angry, we should be politically educated.

I've been the main moderator of the same community since 2016. This evening, i approved my last comment. I'm leaving for two reasons: 1. Reddit went public a week ago. I didn’t volunteer to work for a publicly traded company, i volunteered to work for a community. As long as i live under capitalism i accept that my labor will generate value for shareholders, but damned if i ever do it for free. (this is not a Faulkner quote) 2. April 1st is coming and i'm scared they might do another r/place. Doing in r/place 2022 and 2023 has left me dejected and bitter and i don't want to feel obligated to participate again. Leaving felt like ripping myself off of something warm i've been comfortably glued to for a long time. Still recommend it for anyone still giving Reddit shareholders free labor ------------------------- EDIT: there are too many comments to respond to, but i've appreciated all of them! Thank you
today i remembered an idea for a meme that i had years ago and forgot about, enjoy
Whenever a forum dies, a lot of answered questions are lost that would have been useful to people googling it in the future. Reddit is like the mother of all forums, and it also has had a lot of internet history being made on it. I really think we need a Reddit archive that is availabel for random people from Google. The best case scenario is that Reddit just limps on for years, therefore doing this conservation work better than anyone else could.

Almost always my movies even though i have tons of music, and always the most obscure shit. I have Disney movies and Breaking Bad, but people go for the auteur french sci-fi animated features. Soulseek gives me much the same joy of sharing as torrent does, perhaps more so because it's one-on-one with a username instead of an IP. It's very easy to contribute to Soulseek as opposed to torrent, you just mark your shared folders. I think there's probably more content as a result, at the cost of the inefficiency of multiple people offering the same thing. Which i'm not sure matters. I don't know if the rooms are really worth it. You only get the messages starting when you logged in, so you can't catch up to what happened before; this problem is particularly relevant because most rooms are dead; those that aren't dead consist of a lot of vicious arguments; and it's live chat anyway, never my favorite format for discussion. I prefer Soulseek to eMule just because it works, but i also found it simpler. Unfortunately my VPN doesn't play well with Soulseek, apparently it doesn't support port forwarding? I'm not sure how to fix this. It may in fact have been a problem when torrenting too the whole time and i didn't notice. Overall i really enjoy Soulseek and will probably always have it in the background, it's pretty great!
[According to Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMule), the lastest version of eMule was released in 2010, but "official forum users" developed an updated version as of 2017. Is this information up to date? Is that still true? I'd feel a lot better installing something on my computer that was last updated at least in this decade, which version of eMule should i pick, if any?
