You severely misunderstood the purpose of this community…

That is assuming that she’s not sharing the name voluntarily. It’s not a GDPR violation to offer such a service if it’s opt-in.

I didn’t say it was new. I said it is irresponsible.

Anyone else thought the headline (“bloodbath”) was saying there were actual deaths and that this hypersensationalistic reporting is irresponsible?

I’m in the same boat as you (currently reading Lemmy/Kbin to avoid having to get out of bed), but occasionally I get bored of YouTube and similar instant gratifications too, and then I make a more concerted effort to do something more productive. This isn’t easy and often doesn’t last very long, but — as you correctly pointed out — it’s starting the hard part. Once you’ve started something you know you’ll enjoy, you can sink time into it.

That assumes that they could have voted for anyone, when in fact the ruling elite preselects which candidates are even allowed to run, plus the media (also controlled by the ruling elite) make sure that you get no access to high-quality information about any candidate (least of all the “undesirable” ones).

The jurors are heros. Let’s make sure nothing happens to them.

I don’t expect him to come up with anything new. He’ll just repeat the same old things. Biden is on a witch hunt against him and the court system is corrupt and all that. He’s found his favorite tune I think

That is a great analogy. We always assume gravity is the same for everyone, but when you’re as tiny as an aerosol droplet, air currents are a lot more relevant.

The way you equate capitalism with democracy, and then tacitly imply that Che Guevara must therefore have stood against democracy, is American propaganda.

This particular quote doesn’t even stand out. He really does sound like this. This is quite typical.

I don’t think anyone’s saying that you’re to blame. It’s just that you might be persuaded to help clean up this mess.

It can still easily take hours if it’s a whole movie you’re copying and you’re transcoding it into a more space-efficient codec.

I was actually kind of confused at first about the liquid and bar soap thing. I’ve used bar soap to wash my hands all my life, and for nothing else. To wash the whole body during a shower, I use liquid soap (called shower gel) and I would find bar soap unwieldy. Moral of the story: your insistence on using one vs the other is entirely cultural.

Fun fact: even washing-up liquid (dish soap) can be used to wash your hands in a pinch.

she wants to be seen as a person, not for her disability

… Entire article is about her disability

Because you’ll be investing in, and therefore helping that company. Only a small fraction of the company’s profit is going to reach you. You’ll be part of the problem with capitalism.

I don’t think there is such a thing as “unwinnable people”. They’re unwinnable from a single conversation with a single person, sure. But they’re not unwinnable if the currently ongoing concerted effort by climate-denying mass media were instead directed towards delivering climate science.

Tldr: the problem isn’t the people who are brainwashed, the problem is the people doing the brainwashing.
