Black and white TV was fine 60 years ago and it’s fine now

I fully support getting rid of the two party system, but at this point in time it’s a fantasy. Maybe next election when Trump isn’t going to be the consequences is where Jill Stein can get her votes.

Unfortunately the Republicans may find someone even worse than trump next time.

after this election where Trump or Harris will be president. Will very likely be too late to do anything for Palestine in 4 years, which will be no guarantee of a third party option either.

All the while Trump may be in office because 5% of the vote went to Stein instead of harris and now not only.palestine suffers but also women, black and Hispanic Americans, the lower to middle class, and the lgbtq+ community.

You vote for Jill Stein and Trump or Kamala will still be president and nothing changes for Israel. But at least you will feel better.

Okay, then if there’s really only a choice between the two and they both support genocide just as much as the other, genocide doesn’t really have any impact on whether you should vote for one or the other and maybe vote for the one who isn’t racist, isn’t a fascist, isn’t an idiot, isn’t going to die of a heart attack in office, and doesn’t have a couchfucker as a VP.

I don’t think we should call these people billionaires if it is all reliant on the value of their stocks. If it ain’t taxable it doesn’t exist.

Regular mowers have a person which animal can recognize as a threat and run away. They may not bother running from an automated mower I imagine.

Might sound stupid, but perhaps then they shouldn’t be offering services like Disney Plus and instead simply offer a car that lets you download any streaming app you have your own subscription for.

Products that change the service they offer after you purchase it should also be eligible for a full refund (plus a % on top for the hassle). Such as offering a service through the product for free at the time of purchase but then moving it being a monthly subscription paywall later on, or just removing the feature completely.

Seriously. Unless it includes the cost of like multiple ten+ year maintenance contracts I think they overpaid.

If the companies try and make the consumer eat the cost, then the companies who sell their products in cardboard packaging instead of plastic will be able to sell it for cheaper and potentially steal business from the others. There are plenty of products sold in plastic which do not need to be.

There should almost be some sort of technological transfer to nearby empires, like cultural influence. If your neighbour is at 10000 tech points or whatever while you are at 1000, you should be able to leech some tech points from your neighbour to develop faster.

Transfer rate increases with the disparity between nations and decreases with distance.

So a super advanced empire on continent A will contribute to nations on continent A and B, but those on continent A get more of a bonus than those on B.

This aligns fairly well with reality as neighbouring countries would transfer students to universities all the time, less so the further the nations are apart.

Eh, not really. They aren’t called star wars 1, star wars 2, star wars 3, etc.

They all have individual names and they are just ordered 1-9 without it being in the title.

Witcher has the number in the actual title (at least the second and third do)

So instead of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and then releasing The Witcher 4: ???, I just think it may be more logical to release it as The Witcher ??? 1: ??? or something, just so that it is obvious it’s a separate trilogy and storyline.

Do you use an entire avocado for your toast?

Where I live it’s $5 a gallon for milk (let’s assume 1/10 gallon for breakfast cereal so $0.50 per bowl)

Then it’s like $1.00 /100g of cereal, so you’re probably looking at $1.50 for a bowl of cheerios.

Where I live I can get avocados for $1.20 each and a loaf of bread for $4.50 (14 slices?) so if I use half an avocado for my slice of toast that’s less than $1.

Where I live I’m looking at a possible $1600 mortgage for a 750sq ft. apartment if I live in a shitty part of town where I may need to replace a window due to stray bullets at some point.

If its a new trilogy should they be referring to it as witcher 4?

Wouldn’t it make more sense to call it something like Witcher: ??? 1,2, and 3

Gotta catch em all!

But let’s make it impossible for pretty much everyone.

It’s an outcome that comes from people demanding that something be done because they think we can somehow live in a perfectly safe world.

Shit happens, no matter how many laws are passed no country is going to never have violent crime or mass killings never ever never. Yet the people still demand their politicians do something even if there’s nothing useful that can be done.

And then PlayStation 6 will come out in like a year or something. Why would anyone buy this when they could wait for the ps6?

Facebook and Instagram by Zuckerberg? Tik Tok by the Chinese government? Reddit by Spez? Everything is a terrible option.

I don’t use Twitter/x or anything but Lemmy, but the social media world is owned by terrible corporations and terrible people.
