I think we overrate the ability of the government to change the living conditions in a country. The government is only one factor among others, such as technology, geography, ecnomics, history, climate, and the accumulation of small choices made over decades.

Yeah, but everyone else around him does have clear goals and plans that they do want to accomplish. And they’re prepared this time, whereas they were kinda caught by surprise in 2016.

I’d come to that party.

What do you mean “again”? Name one period of history where people didn’t spit on the floor, leave trash around or inconvenience other people.

If he wants a world where everything is clean and everyone behaves, that’s not regression, that’s progress, he’d be making it a reality for the first time. The fact that he thinks people used to behave better in the past is quintessential conservative nostalgia goggles.

I mean it’s a known fact that WASPs rule the media.

I upvoted them.

Human tails are kind of a thing and doctors do remove them. But it’s not a glorious tiger tail or anything, it’s like a stub, it’s an outgrowth of the coccyx, which is literally a vestigial tail.

You may not know that you’re at the TOP of the leaderboard, but you probably have a pretty good idea that you drink a lot of tea.

Which is why this policy usually goes by maximum income or income cap

This is actually the saddest meme of all times.

Lemmy is an improvement over Reddit in terms of its business structure. We don’t yet know what the downsides will be of decentralized social media at scale, but we know that it beats a tech company that went from venture capital to publicly traded while already deep in enshittification.

Lemmy is not an improvement over Reddit in terms of design: it’s designed the exact same way, so it has the same set of advantages and disadvantages.

The improvement in community is hard to guesstimate, and will change as the site grows. Aside from the company, it was often the users that made Reddit suck, and Lemmy is completely capabe of sucking in the exact same ways.

I think so too, but like i said there’s only so many computers that you can find a use for.

I think. That wasn’t a challenge, don’t prove me wrong

I was kind of on board with that idea, but now i’m100% on board

Honestly, i predict people and businesses will keep using Win10 years after it’s become unsafe. We’ve all seen the local warehouse still running Windows 7, i’m thinking that scenario but for millions of users.

That’s a cybersecurity problem, but what i’m most concerned with is the e-waste problem, because there’s still going to be a lot of users that do replace their PC. There aren’t enough Linux users to buy all the computers that will be rendered obsolete, and there won’t be by then either. I myself am a new Linux user but i’m already covered, i don’t need more computers, not even for cheap.

I just really hope this doesn’t end with millions of good computers landfilled or parted. The third world already buys a lot of our e-waste, so i hope they’ll get a crapton of relatively good computers for cheap and run either Win10 or Linux

I can’t believe i’m saying this, but… I think mosquitos don’t deserve this. There’s basically no life form that deserves our cruelty more than mosquitoes, but this pushes a boundary i didn’t know was there.

I would have torrented every season and watched them on fast forward but yours is better

This shows that forming tribes around a simple, singular, absolute opinion, is narrow-minded because reality can have several things be true at the same time.

Also how did you find so many images of Mr. Krabs wearing hats?

FD Signifier is THE youtuber that i listen to on black issues, and this reminds me a lot of this video

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

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
