• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why civilians don't crowdfund bribe money for politicians?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the main reason is that your average working class person, even if they have the money to contribute to that, doesn’t have the time and energy to get involved in politics. Looking at history, most people seem to be happy as long as they have food on the table, a roof over their heads, and some pretty basic rights, and only start to act when something big goes wrong, usually famines, but also things like plagues and cases of injustice that a lot of people hear & care about.

  The reasons I think this doesn’t happen:

  • most people don’t have enough interest, time, energy
  • a lot of people don’t have enough money to contribute
  • this would require lots of organization and connecting to others who agree with the idea
  • it’d probably be easy to get caught, and a lot of the time (especially in countries where corruption is widespread) poor people will get punished harsher than the ruling class.

  Well, there really isn’t a canine equivalent to what lions are compared to cats. Dogs are directly descended from wolves but cats are descended from African wildcats, not big cats.

  Yeah, so that they can sell merch without paying royalties to the actors from the original movies, who didn’t align with her bigotry.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Global Warming [Photographic Evidence]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A true heirloom meme.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Global Warming [Photographic Evidence]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I never thought I’d find this again…

  Storytime: my sister showed this to us last Christmas, it had been making rounds in her friend group. One of her friends had a crush on a Mexican exchange student and wanted to impress them. She sent this meme to the exchange student, who in turn looked that the truck was loaded with maize emojis🌽, and thought she was racist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don't cars have a way to contact nearby cars like fictional spaceships do?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Also fictional spaceships tend to have a whole crew instead of 1-5 people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don't cars have a way to contact nearby cars like fictional spaceships do?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A touch screen interface in a car is a TERRIBLE idea.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do people get rid of or sell stolen jewelry? I ask cause the news says the the Louve thieves can never sell it because it so known?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The value rarely is in the jewelry, but rather in the jewels themselves. So, if you had stolen, for example, a gold ring with a big diamond, you’d take out the diamond and either sell it as-is, or chop it into smaller diamonds and sell them, and probably have the gold smelted back into raw material again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Moon talk⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah yes, “the” civil war.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨#environmentalist⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can also use a chive leaf as a straw. It’ll affect the taste, but it’s fun to eat it afterwards
