that’s not nice if you have kids and a wife. Again, you’re arguing from a single person’s perspective. I agree it might sound like a good time to you… it sure as hell isn’t practical for anybody with any sort of social commitment. you gotta understand that.

what your original argument was suggesting was to buy the expensive first class tickets and pitch a tent in the middle of a quarry and hunt squirrels for food at your dream destination. Might as well not book the flight in that case.

What sort of parent will say no to popcorn at the movies? Especially if their kids ask and its supposed to be a fun night out?

You don’t seem to understand that you can’t always say no or you might ruin the day for somebody else and in extension… yourself

That just tells me you’re single. There’s never any scenario in which you spend 0 at the theatre if you have family, even more so if you have kids.

those who voted blue are also kind of assholes. You guys should get real democracy going: Ranked Choice Voting. Burn the current senate, congress and Supreme court down. Build them back properly.

was about to furiously reply with the same retort… but yeah. I LOVE green spaces

self hosting is anti-capitalist, so is being against urban brutalism.

maybe that was what he was implying in the first place: “A profit seeking entity made this?”

you deleted your comment saying “you’re saying exactly what i am saying with different words”

I want you to think about it like this. Some folk don’t throw out their old stuff even if they could afford a new one. It’s called “not being wasteful”.

things are not black and white for crooks who can’t think selflessly. I don’t accept the premise that things are complex from assholes, if the only thing complicating things is their desire to punish others for their fragile ego or the need for power. Their arguments are just gaslighting for honest folk of this green earth.

hey the definition of criminal is set by fallible people so don’t pretend it’s the be all end all!

“criminal” is such an encompassing term that seems to put murderers, rapists, drug peddlers who sell to children vs. some weed smokers, falsely accused people, white collar criminals, petty criminals including shoplifters, jaywalkers, etc.

You can’t seriously think someone who steals an apple from a shop needs the same treatment as a violent unrepentant murderer?

ignoring evidence is apparently adulthood now

you can’t find anything recent?

You’re gonna roll eyes on the answer or already know what needs to be done. We need to change the system so people are less inclined to shoplift.

How your comment reads to the rest of us:

"Wrong reason people don’t like twitter - bad

Wrong reason people like lemmy - good

You both sound the same to me"

Is it easy to prove it works?

GS diversifying and playing both sides? Just a hunch. G7 has the west… whereas one could argue that the BRICS might evolve into an eastern bloc.

Eh? What’s this bold assumption that people would like this “feature” if fedora introduced it?

Can you find one vote which republicans voted for people?

Within the context of this bill, how else can one explain all the NO votes purely from Republicans? What about republicans whose states are devastated by Hurricane Helene?
