Firmly agree. It sounds both a) fun, and b) wildly reliable. The two things I needed back when I was a Lemmy newb

Unlike humans, who are notoriously limited in their housing choices by an evolutionary disadvantage known generally as, “the market.”
- Comment on How the fuck do you meet new people? 2 months ago:
I read a few and didn’t see this. I’m from a smallish town and ended up adopting the community gym. Best decision of my life, saved me from a really rough time. Gymrats are far friendly than their rep gets, most of them are just guys that just wanna bullshit and push shit. A community rec center is also a great option, or a beer league. Just stuff that forces you outside, even when you pull the “but I don’t wannaaaaaa”

This falls in the list of things I didn’t know I didn’t want to know, but now know, and know I don’t want to know. Oh no

Realistically it looks like the majority of my fiber intake is about to become oats and popcorn…
- Comment on Are cars with AWD worth it compared to FWD. 4 months ago:
IMO, AWD is overhyped. I’ve driven in snowy, hilly terrain in Canada for 16+ years, and the number of times I’ve been truly, call for help stuck is 2. Always FWD and manual.
AWD is more expensive to purchase and maintain, burns more gas and tires, and doesn’t convey that many benefits. The ppl who really need AWD are generally the ones who actually need 4x4, and if you actually need 4x4 it’s for a good reason. Knowing how to drive your car well is more valuable.
Case in point: I once drove up a rocky mountain ski hill on an icy day. There was a rise where everyone was getting stuck, including AWD and FWD drivers. Ppl were helping each other by pushing the cars to get them up/started. I was there for 40 mins, not a single AWD car outdid a FWD car. Trucks with low gear 4x4 made it, with effort.
TLDR: IMO, AWD is more marketing hype than value that benefits the dealership more than the buyer. Save yourself the coin and get good winter tires instead. Stick with the Versa.
Love,
A fellow Versa driver

Oh yeah the gap in surplus value is ridiculous, and continues to get worse. Sorry my comment was meant as a lazy “and you too can have $28B” joke 🤣

Feel free to correct if I’m wrong, but my understanding is basically an attempt at accounting for all civilization-collapsing-level catastrophic event. Maybe not global, but massive-scale
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 6 months ago:
In my experience, your first sentence sums it up nicely.
They assume a moral high ground because they’ve adopted a diet that is generally deemed healthier and better for the environment (I don’t always agree with this).
But unless they’re also doing all the things we could all do better (e.g. not buying new, not upgrading the the latest and greatest, not taking 40 minute showers, not eating out every second day), they’re only somewhat less guilty of environmental damage than the average person, they’re taking a generally undeserved “holier than thou” position and then shoving it down your throat. This isn’t everyone, and I don’t really care what you eat, but these are the vegans that get under my skin.
- Comment on Imagine denying other living and breathing lifeforms agency to thrive amd change lol lol lol 6 months ago:
Okay curious question. There’s a legal movement arguing that nature should be protected by law/be considered when undertaking things that might affect it (esp. resource development).
Does anybody with any legal knowledge know if this would create some kind of legal precedent? Obviously it’s not enshrined in written law, but a tree that owns itself (even by mutual agreement) seems to suggest it’s somewhat plausible, and it’s not like laws always make sense lol. Or am I just reading too much into this?

Yeah I don’t understand why they don’t just own it. You’re a company trying to maximize profits, and tried money grubbing your way to more. Then you got caught and your customers didn’t like it. Admit it, move on to your next appallingly bad idea. Weak lies are the worst

- Comment on Bay Area tech CEO worth $35 billion says ‘suffering’ wasn't worth it 1 year ago:
I think there’s an addictive cycle element to it too. A point where it isn’t just validating the decisions you’ve made, but a compulsion to see the number get bigger
