Ah yes, “we did good but they messed it up, as usual!”

If the US cared enough about the well-being and the services the people have access to in the nations they invade, they would probably not do the invading bit.

Hey everyone get a glimpse of this loser!

I would advise avoiding things with sucralose.

It’s a bit late to worry about internal mics when everyone has their phone on them at all times.

Probably stuck on an older os which doesn’t support the newest browser updates.

That’s because it’s not dirt but normal pigmentation of the shell.

What would be the point of washing that part of the egg you’re going to throw out 3 seconds later?

I’ll keep it in mind, every once in a while I take the time to see what’s new.

Thanks for the suggestion, but the thing is, I’m a developer and designer myself so I’m extremely picky about how things look and function, and I’m not ready yet to separate myself from an app I’ve been very happy with for a long time over a single annoyance that is probably temporary.

Well the thing is they appear to be muted from the icon on top of them, but it autoplays sound and clicking the icon (twice) doesn’t do anything.

I think I started with that before sync for lemmy came out. But I’m a long time sync user, I think I even paid for it a few years ago, and I just don’t feel anything else comes close.

I did not. That’s what I alluded to in my last sentence. But I believe the bigger picture is more important and that automation is a step towards getting out of consumerism, exponential growth and job creation just to keep the bar moving, which all ties in to why we’re in this situation in the first place. It allows us to reevaluate what’s important in life.

And what’s the alternative? Stopping progress and keeping menial jobs on life support just to pay people a wage is ludicrous. Automation has been replacing jobs since watermills and oxen, it is a form of liberation. The current rate will probably cause a lot of upheaval yes, but it’s a necessary evil.

Everything is becoming decentralized because it offers a fairer, more level playing field. Except in governance, where things move towards a consolidation of power under the guise of unity and progress with the net result being that the voice of the person becomes a distant cry.

The US hasn’t had a domestic war since the civil war. How many wars has Europe had domestically since then? Hmmm.

The US is a country, Europe is not, so “domestic” is a misnomer and the comparison doesn’t hold up. The issues Europe had with wars are a result of complex regional and historical issues, those things don’t really exist in the US because it is too homogenous on one side and too much of a military might to challenge on the other, not to mention geographically isolated.

You really need to reach to make Europe look like the bad guy when it comes to wars, not in the least because the US takes other countries to war all the time to throw it’s weight around and establish dominance.

Yes, apparently four times less than some though. The chemicals used to wash them, not to mention the water waste, are really impactful if you start multiplying them among millions of people.

You using 4 towels isn’t hurting anyone anymore than me using one towel does.

I can only guess where the idea of wastefulness is such an alien concept that it’s completely overlooked here.

Pro tip if this happens, add more water.

Anyhow I can assure you that taking edibles daily is certainly worse than have a beer a week.

This is a crucial point, how can you? Overlooking the major discrepancy in frequency of use.

The active ingredient in edibles is an analogue to something endogenous to the human body, alcohol is just a toxic substance.

How is any of that based on something besides your personal preference? What does quite bad mean? And what is “close to alcohol?” How much alcohol? How high?

I’ve also never met a person that drinks A beer. I’ve met lots that drink beers and call it a beer to minimize their habits though.

No offense but your opinion sounds like an anti drug ad from the 90’s made by someone who’s yet to admit their drug of choice is even a drug.
