If you ever need to drive something like this, here’s a tip: go to a scrapyard to buy less bald tires and a replacement hood for like $50

- Comment on Always plan ahead to avoid surprises 1 day ago:
Actually, the tone indicator for my comment would be /g or /gen to indicate that I’m genuine. It’s far more useful when an entire conversation is knowably being sarcastic.
- Comment on Always plan ahead to avoid surprises 1 day ago:
Then perhaps the lesson here is that tone indicators are actually useful and reduces misunderstanding in text.
- Comment on How active is Lemmy now? 1 day ago:
40k users is huge. Remember, lemmy is not profit driven. We don’t need to grow at all costs, we can grow naturally and sustainably.
- Comment on I could be friendly... *for money*! 4 days ago:
Retail work is a lot of emotional labor. At the end of the day, wearing the mask can be too much. I consider myself a very happy and welcoming person, and even I would do this after retail shifts

The “more thought” is a barrel of mead of course!
And an ounce of weed, but that was already there

What a coincidence, I’m a QA tester that was illegally fired and therefore no longer bound by my moonlighting clause. I’ll have to give it a try!
- Comment on War monitor says Israel conducted 300 strikes on Syria since Assad's fall 3 weeks ago:
I made an assumption that people would know what lebensraum was and the context that it was an essential part to the fascist Nazi party. I also assumed people would understand why both it and Israel’s actions are wrong and evil.
- Comment on War monitor says Israel conducted 300 strikes on Syria since Assad's fall 3 weeks ago:
I prefer the definition that specifically includes that it’s a Nazi idea for Nazis
- Comment on War monitor says Israel conducted 300 strikes on Syria since Assad's fall 3 weeks ago:
The Syrian government collapsed, so naturally they only want a little Lebensraum

If by ‘we’ you mean the oligarchy and ‘trade war’ means second cold war, then yea.
- Comment on The peer review system no longer works to guarantee academic rigour - a different approach is needed 1 month ago:
I agree that ultimately, science and profit do not mix in any capacity and the money aspect must be done away with. I do have some knowledge of the debate as a labor activist, but not nearly as much as I’d like. However, until there is an shift to economic socialism on an international scale, anyone doing science is performing labor that will produce an incentive to extract profit from these workers. Ideals and ethics are important considerations for science, but the class dynamic cannot be ignored and must be addressed for an equitable solution to emerge.
- Comment on The peer review system no longer works to guarantee academic rigour - a different approach is needed 1 month ago:
Why does the selection process for reviewers need to also disappear to provide wages? Journals still select reviewers for best fit. Ultimately, peer reviewers are performing labor for a corporation making profit. It is unethical for anyone to be put in a position to provide free labor in the pursuit of profit of a corporation.

They should force it to become a worker cooperative. It’s the only solution that doesn’t allow for corruption

- Comment on The UK steps up with an 81% emissions cut target at COP29 following Trump win 1 month ago:
I hope it means they nationalize and expand rail, go hard on new offshore wind and ocean current production, ban oversized vehicles, and create community hydroponic gardens. Of course this is the UK labour party and not a real labor party, so they’ll half-ass everything they try
- Comment on 10 Ways to Destroy the World 1 month ago:
2% sounds easy until you think about how much fucking energy that is. If we back it off to like 1% we can catapult ourselves onto the kardashev scale. #10 would still be at play, and it would be even more disastrous than before!

Maybe it’s time to consider that kernel level software is generally a bad idea.
- Comment on Aptera completes low-speed drive in its first production-intent solar electric vehicle 2 months ago:
I’m excited to see them succeed. I love it when stuff is designed with function over form, and made practically. I’m a tall person, this is the only small electric vehicle I feel I could actually fit in
- Comment on American house 2 months ago:
You missed my point. I own guns, know how to operate them, and know the names of the parts. I use magazine and clip interchangeably, because pointless pedantry doesn’t contribute anything to the conversation.
- Comment on American house 2 months ago:
So then all magazines are clips, but not all clips are magazines.

Tech companies hate disabled people generally, considering one of the largest tech unions in the US had a rally about disability rights
