  There’s VERY few services that the luxury of choice is not again for. A lot of the times that’s simply an excuse

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Could a minority in US Senate essentially disolve the federal state?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s insane that such a pivotal rule is removal by simple majority

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you think The Boys is an accurate representation if real people had superpowers?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  In reality, the ones who didn’t care would outnumber the ones who did.

  That’s not true. Most people care about public perception. From dictatorships to narcissists to normal people

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What even is money at this point⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I eat both. A poor man’s meal variety, rice, beans, and sourdough (water, flour, salt)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What even is money at this point⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Flour is worth an entire cabinet or shelf. One of the cheapest ways to eat possible

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What even is money at this point⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When you pay rent. When you pay the bank. Most of paying is for labor, yes, a crazy amount more than most people realize. But the wealthy skim some off the top, and that portion isn’t paying for labor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What even is money at this point⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Case in point. If you’re buying a 2 pound flour bag you’re scamming yourself lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What even is money at this point⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If 1 kg of flour is 2$ but a small piece of bread is 7$ you know it’s a scam…

  This is ignoring labor costs and possible artisan experience, depending on where you buy bread. Also funny because paying $2 for a kg of flour would be a crazy scam; that’s more expensive than even the some of the fancier flour brand

  Beautiful wilderness , long hiking, a decent amount of trains, world-class museums, an expanding network of intercity bike paths, lake for fun, there’s plenty of destinations to be had.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What’s even the appeal of Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  For desktops, I would assume most people are building their own, yes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What’s even the appeal of Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Windows does not come with a desktop, unless you’re buying pre built, in which case you don’t mind spending extra money for the same product

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What’s even the appeal of Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s for laptops, not desktops

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What’s even the appeal of Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Seriously, do people pay for windows? I’ve transitioned one copy I got on my laptop a dozen years ago through a few separate pc builds. And duplicated another key, which was quite easy

  Fuck Amazon. Corporate scum

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s absolutely significant. Not to the point of being a deal breaker, but it is significant.

  Hell, I would go so far as to say Amazon is worse

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spotify to raise prices in September⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Podcasting infrastructure is not monopolized yet, like video is. It is even bigger problem for me than underpayid artists.

  It helps a lot that audio hosting is so much cheaper than video hosting

  Genocide is clearly a winning strategy. Trump won. Ukraine is dying.

  Can we make them from desalination plants, in part? Or no? I don’t know the science for it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s always a look to it. As long as you keep in mind that it can be wrong and adjust your view of people accordingly if corrected, it’s not super wrong to judge by appearances

  Surely they will prosecute in a legal manner, surely the fascists will follow the law.
