It probably wouldn’t be allowed under an authoritarian government though…

I went to stay a couple of months in the US and of course I brought my reusable bag to the übermarket. The cashier didn’t want to fill it. She insisted to use single-use bags :|

They are not my standards. Describing reality does not mean you’re happy about it. And yeah, that’s sexism, patriarchy, whatever you want to call it.

There is a social context that makes gender-swapping not entirely symmetrical. Men and women are not treated equally by a large portion of the population. These differences in treatment have repeating patterns and tendencies that create a bias that does not average out.

Just to be clear, both men and women suffer from these biases. Think “provide for family”, “parental leave”, “children custody”, “real men don’t cry” for men. Women get the short end of stick in terms of autonomy and respect though…

Without a doubt! Humans and life in general is uber efficient in terms of energy use. Most of the energy of a car is not directly spent for the work. Work is done when moving mass from a lower to a higher place and accelerating it to a higher speed. But once you have accelerated the mass to the cruise speed, it actually does not require any energy to maintain. Rather, the energy is spent by the car to heat up the air, move it around, wear the road and the tires, and make noise.

We use cars because they are muuuch more powerful than humans, at the cost of wasing a lot of energy. Try to push a car uphill, you won’t ever succeed without pullies which makes it even slower. Doesn’t matter how efficient you are if you cannot output the minimum power required to overcome friction etc.

Some people use quotes for emphasis, though. So, not sure if this faculty’s on our side.

I’d argue it’s the only correct thing though. Sure, it’s through reflection, but reflection is absorption and re-emission so the light really comes from the moon.

I disagree. That Crowdstrike crashes is one thing; the issue here is that Windows suffers such a widespread crash, whether it is because of Crowdstrike or for any reason.

Ooh, nice. Thanks for making me discover it! I would have liked a FOSS alternative, but this is pretty good.

Edit: argh, it’s nice for local urban commute, but it doesn’t work outside or between big cities :(

OSM can technically replace Gmaps for shops and restaurants if enough people were using and updating it.

However, Gmaps in unbeatable for public transportation :( no alternative at all

[…] 43% in favour of rejoining the bloc, compared with 40% who want to stay out. But once the 18% who say they don’t know are taken out, 52% back EU membership with 48% opposing it […]

That’s not a “majority of voters”, that’s a “majority of people who report to know what they want”. These are not the same populations.

That’s one symptom of car-dependency!

If we had proximity shops minutes away by foot, we wouldn’t do one giant grocery weekly with 30 min commute one way. We’d just buy what we need just passing by.

We need a comedy necromancy community

I made this timeline back in the day.

He would still have been attached to her and in the film’s logic, that was the problem. You can bet that there would have been a point where he would have been afraid for her leading to yadda yadda.

Obligatory PSA about not feeding ducks with bread because it’s unealthy for them and pollutes water.

It’s apparently early in development, but there’s an ActivityPub implementation of wikis made by one of Lemmy’s dev.

Why wouldn’t the friends like it then?

What’s the marketing meaning? I only know about the psychological effect of feeling anxious when disconnected or not taking part to an event.
