- Comment on Are Tetra Paks actually recyclable? 2 days ago:
In Sweden, where I livr, 78.5% of paper packaging put into the market was recycled for materials (as opposed to recycled for energy a.k.a burning it in a power plant)
- Comment on Are Tetra Paks actually recyclable? 2 days ago:
At least where I live even the interior lining and lid are now made from cellulose fibers and as such the packaging is (a) fully renewable and (b) the materials can be reused for other paper-esque products.

So you mean the Tories are also assholes? Tell me something I didn’t know
- Comment on How to opt out of the privacy nightmare that comes with new Hondas 1 month ago:
Our government will forcibly insure you if you don’t have one, so technically you don’t have to buy anything. It’s just more expensive than anything on the market.
- Comment on How to opt out of the privacy nightmare that comes with new Hondas 1 month ago:
Basic traffic liability insurance sorta makes sense - it’d suck you had your car wrecked by someone broke and were SOL.
- Comment on Renewable energy passes 30% of world’s electricity supply 1 month ago:
Nice, now we just need to increase non-fossil fuelled energy production another 900% in order fo get rid of fossil fuels!
- Comment on Mona: Australia women's-only museum files appeal to keep men out 1 month ago:
Idk, everytime I go partying with friends it definitely seems like womens bathrooms are a communal activity.
- Comment on We can do all three things at once 1 month ago:
I literally own a bit of stock in the most nuclear-power-related company in my country - so yes.
- Comment on It's important to get a good interest rate 2 months ago:
Hi!
I’m the Swede with a CC, right here :)
Now you’ve heard of someone using one (mwahahaha)
In all fairness, it’s not exactly something people talk about - and for the record, I’ve never ended up paying any interest on the card. It’s just convenient, offering a layer of protection for charges, makes it easier for me to track spendings, and allows me to be earning interest on my paycheck by keeping it in a savings account until I need to balance the CC.
- Comment on YouTube’s ad blocker crackdown now includes third-party apps 2 months ago:
I would’ve been fine paying if the price reflected what I was actually paying for (not being advertised to) which would be <$0.005 per viewed video (let’s be generous and call it 1 or 2$/mo) but noo they have to ask for 25$/month like greedy little shits.
- Comment on Somebody managed to coax the Gab AI chatbot to reveal its prompt 2 months ago:
Would you care to elaborate on this, and preferrably add sources for your statements (or pm me) so I can read further?
is that “biological sex” is just not actually a particularly meaningful concept.
It’s “meaningfulness” is secondary - it is most certainly a highly useful concept in the science and practice of biology and medicine.

Do you call camping in a campground a “family vacation” ?
I would…
Sure, we never had the latest and greatest, fixed stuff ourselves and such, but we lived in a home that my parents owned and never really wanted for anything. That, to me, feels like a middle-class upbringing, and is what I’d like to be able to provide my own kids when I have them. However, right now the prospect of owning my own home seems increasingly far-fetched.

- Comment on Quick video demonstrating that lemmy.world sends every activity out twice 2 months ago:
Idk, it’s FOSS, so you could always try, but just complaining and hoping somebody picks up on it probably also works. I don’t judge :)
- Comment on Quick video demonstrating that lemmy.world sends every activity out twice 2 months ago:
You can still make a bug report, so that somebody with the actual means can look into it. If every action is duplicated that’d be pretty severe, if not, well it’ll be closed.
- Comment on Building bombings and 14-year-old hitmen: Organized crime overwhelms Sweden 2 months ago:
Better to be aware of your own prejudices than pretend they don’t exist. Everyone has them, difference is whether you combat them or not.
- Comment on Building bombings and 14-year-old hitmen: Organized crime overwhelms Sweden 2 months ago:
Honestly, it possibly is a bit racist - making assumptions based on probabilities and stereotypes.
I am and have been friends and coworkers with several people who were from the ME (muslim and not) and they were decent folks. There was one notable exception (ex of one of my friends) who turned out to be a real piece of work. I’d like to think that by being aware of my prejudices, I can disprove them by informing myself about people, and at least not writing them off until I’ve made myself aware of who they really are.
Either way, if I had a daughter, I hope I’d raise her well enough to be able to trust her to judge these sorts of things on her own once she became an adult.
- Comment on Building bombings and 14-year-old hitmen: Organized crime overwhelms Sweden 2 months ago:
whether you’d accept your daughter marrying a ME person
Probably because the knee jerk reaction is that ME person ≈ muslim and even aside from islam, ME cultural values are highly misogynistic and very backwards when it comes to women.
To be fair, I’d probably be similarly concerned if my hypothetical daughter was looking to marry a deeply religious christian or hindu also.
- Comment on Building bombings and 14-year-old hitmen: Organized crime overwhelms Sweden 2 months ago:
…not for long if things keep going at this rate. In just a few years we’ve skyrocketed from having anongst the least violent crime in Europe to being up there with the Balkan countries - and it just keeps getting worse for every year.
- Comment on Building bombings and 14-year-old hitmen: Organized crime overwhelms Sweden 2 months ago:
As a Swede, I sometimes wonder if I would feel more at home moving to one of the other Scandinavian countries - because I don’t really feel at home here anymore.
- Comment on Chicago begins evicting migrants from shelters as residents decry a 'lack of respect' 3 months ago:
…and that, folks, is exactly how the EU ended up having a huge resurgence in nationalism and anti-immigration policies in the past ten years!
- Comment on How can a person be very sad, irritated or angry and still not show it on their face ? 3 months ago:
Had the same thing for a long time. Took me years to rehabilitate myself.
- Comment on Is my voice annoyingly high? 3 months ago:
Sounds fine to me.
I also dislike listening to my own voice, so you’re not alone in that :)
- Comment on I didn't read the TOS for Baldurs Gate 3 until now 3 months ago:
I did pirate the game, and then it was so utterly awesome that I went and bought it shortly after they patched in the epilogues.
One of the reasons I have the steam achievement for finishing the game, but not the one for finishing the tutorial xD

- Comment on We live in a post scarcity information society and we still haven't moved on from capitalism. 4 months ago:
A monarchy can be capitalist as long as peoples property rights are respected. The moment the monarch decides to lop somebodys head off and take their stuff you’ll be back to the old-school feudalistic “might makes right” societies.
- Comment on Chart: The world is building renewable energy faster than ever before 5 months ago:
Climate change is also super destructive to the ecology of waterways - and also to everything else, so I’m gonna say sacrificing a few fish for the good of the rest of the fish is probably a good idea.
- Comment on Chart: The world is building renewable energy faster than ever before 5 months ago:
Hydropower is one of the most widely available and effective sources of non-fossil fuelled electricity generation. If we’re going to have a chance to stop climate change we need to use it to its fullest…
- Comment on How to burn belly fat if I have cervical spondylosis and scoliosis? 5 months ago:
Swimming can be a type of exercise that puts less strain on your back. That and just eating less.
- Comment on Why are so many countries in the world “developing” and poor, while essentially only Western countries have a high standard of living? 5 months ago:
That’s a general pattern though - sea transport is the most efficient, thus railroads will tend to integrate around important ports. It applies even in the UK.
