This is a terrible arguement. It has the premise that all ice are going to be scrapped at once and we will just make a bazillion electric cars. It’s a phase out thing.
Also quieter cars and no tailpipe emissions are fantastic.
Well. Bought my new electric car. What am I going to do with my old gas one? Trade it in and get money? Nah. Pay to get it scrapped? I’m such a genius.
Guys, cars don’t last forever, but when you own a car that doesn’t burn dead organisms, get ready to almost never change your oil because it doesn’t collect soot and for engines and cars to last much longer because they don’t generate grimy grease and heat and exhaust, all of which are terrible for mechanical parts.
Pre-emptive caveat: I am fully in favor of electric cars, and will happily switch if I can ever afford to do so.
Yes, most of the parts that are going to wear out on IC cars are motor and transmission parts, and those are complicated and time consuming to fix. In many cases it’s not practical for the end-user to do so anymore. Electric cars OTOH are more likely to have electronics issues, and the batteries are ridiculously expensive to replace when the capacity is reduced below a useful level.So you’re still going to end up with similar maintenance costs over the lifetime of the vehicle, but they’re more likely to be concentrated at one or two irregular points in time rather than small bits of preventive maintenance done at regular intervals.
even worse is any deals are on downloaded apps. F that. The only good effect for me with that is its an effective way to identify and avoid corporate type institutions as they are top in using it.
You should vocalize it to the owner (or at least management) if you can. You’d be surprised what comes of it.
I did this once with a restaurant/bar owner, and she was very understanding. Once I took the time to explain how I didn’t wanna be subjected to everything that a setup like that brings, she empathized and actually got a standalone website.
Many people aren’t aware until you make em aware. And whether they feel the same or not from a consumer standpoint, at least they’ll know that there’s people out there who do care, and it affects business. And usually, if it affects business, it doesn’t matter what their personal feelings towards it are. A good business owner will be sure to adjust because they learned something new about the market.
Call them on the telephone, and tell a human you would like to make a reservation. Telephone voice calls still work at every restaurant in my region. Also, get this, you can place take out orders that way at most places! It’s an amazing technology!
I recently got “this content is unverified, please open in our app to continue” from a Google search that lead to a random Reddit thread. Nope not gonna do that. I think I found a workable solution on stack overflow after that
The day old reddit I gone is the day it is officially dead. Reddit is appealing to the insta audience now and it sucks. I’ve talked to so many people who only recently discovered reddit and they have no idea that discussion used to drive the site. It’s a picture browsing site for them. The site is going down the tubes quickly so it can do an IPO I guess.
Not only did discussion used to drive that site, but thriving niche communities. I hired a young-ish (~25) webdev recently and he asked where I heard about a certain topic. I told him reddit and he was genuinely confused. I sent him links to r/webdev, r/selfhosted, r/sysadmin, r/datahoarder, and a handful of other recommendations. His mind was blown that reddit not only had those communities, but how deep the content was.
My point is, reddit has really leaned into the lowest common denominator audience to chase growth and has completely abandoned its nerd roots (most evidently by its API policy changes).
personal petpeeve of mine, that insta-gen as you describe it, is mentally incapable of making/uploading computer screenshots in computer specific subs (e.g. game specific subs). they upload photos of their monitor that look like ass, angled like they’re tim walker and shaken like they’re driving on cobblestone… almost like we’re back in the 00s or something.
it literally requires more effort to post a worse picture and be removeded at than simply pressing print-screen and ctrl-v on the pc.
“bUt I’m NoT uSiNg ReDdIt On My CoMpUtEr So I’m NoT lOgGeD iN”
yeah, while at that better uninstall it on your phone aswell. nothing of worth comes out of you anyways. smh
I wish this were only a problem with kids. I’m a system integrator and I’m constantly asking for screenshots of HMIs for troubleshooting. It’s about 50/50 with my current client if it’s going to be a jank cell phone picture or an actual screenshot. I think it’s an uneducated portion of the population that is too dumb to give a shit. They always existed but now the barrier to posting a photo is finally low enough that they can barely step over it and us early PC users are annoyed by them.
That’s nothing. I’ve heard of people getting the cops called on them because the cashier forgot to scan an item and they noticed after getting home and went back to pay for it.
Well according to a .world poster in this thread that you and I can’t see from our instance, the DPRK has slaves. But don’t worry, this won’t happen because a lemmy.ca user thinks that “Letting that many foreigners into North Korea would be a PR disaster for the Country.”
I’d love to say it would be a PR disaster for American news, but realistically people have become too invested in the American Cinematic Universe to be swayed by what visitors have to say.
The lib I work with believes all the nonsense about North Korea and I’ve tried explaining to him that North Korea literally has non-North Korean tour guides who absolutely allow you to go where you want but usually prefer if you don’t because no one would be able to communicate with you if you got lost, and your vacation would be wasted if you had no idea where to go, but he believes that it’s all just a show, as though any country on the planet actually puts in that kind of effort to convince foreigners. Every time I tell him there are literally people who’ve posted positive news in regards to being there, or about a non-North Korean who works there, he still wants to believe what the news says or whatever negative claims are being made about it, and so he challenged me to go to North Korea on vacation and ‘find out the truth for both of us’ (he already believes I’ll come back with horror stories), and so I challenged him and asked “If I go there and find out that it’s all nonsense, that the country is fine and peaceful, would you believe me?”. I personally hate traveling, and going on vacation anywhere is a chore I loathe, and so surely if I go to such effort then he’ll believe me, right? His response was a reluctant “I’ll be more likely to believe it”
This guy doesn’t want to believe he’s been lied to about North Korea; literally no amount of evidence will sway him; it’s almost like this is some kind of investment for him (I say him, but this applies to libs in general).
I don’t think the DPRK wants to give an opportunity to basically any country in the world to plant spies. Considering the US used visits of the Atomic Energy Commission to infiltrate the DPRK in the 90s, welcoming thousands and thousands of difficult to vet corporate reps sounds like an open invitation for infiltration.
I was a heroin addict and only jerked off like once a month for years (i.e. whenever I could get my hands on a couple adderall, i’d get my hands on something else). Now i’m clean and exercising and gaining weight and trying to be a human again, and I kinda started jerking off a bit more and I’ve realized just like with eating — the more I eat the more I feel the need to eat— the more I jerk it the more I find myself wanting to jerk it. Now I feel I’ve opened a degenerate can of worms.
I kind of liked not being a slave to my monke brain… except then I was a slave to my junke brain. Someone just teach me how to live.
I wish you all the best and hope you’re doing better now, and I mean this with respect but it’s pretty fucking funny that the answer to “hmm maybe I jerk off too much” is “do horse”
I think you mean to do a multiplication sign instead of a %. The GM CEO made $29,000,000 last year. It would take a GM worker 362 years to make CEO Mary Barra’s annual compensation.
McDonald’s it’s still pretty good if you use the app. When I forget to bring lunch I get two spicy chicken sammies and a large drink for like $5 and you get points for free shit too. Not an ad but there are genuinely good deals in there if u just want cheap sustenance.
This comment is not really about you, but I really hate the McDonald’s app. The McDonald’s app has been super frustrating to use. It acts like it is loading a huge database. Each selection results in a 10 to 20 seconds wait for the next. Often selections don’t register.
That phrase applies more to things you can’t reasonably stop consuming, like plastics.
There are a few exceptions where there’s one capitalist producer who is significantly more divisive than the alternatives, and switching costs are extremely low.
Have fun blindly funding other bigots while judging people over arbitrary bullshit.
Enjoy the benign prison you’ve crafted for yourself.
Have fun creating your own special brand of prejudice
I hope you don’t have any children you’ve fed any Gerber products. Or any haagen dazs ice cream. Or kit Kats, or Perrier sparkling water, or feed your pets Purina, Alpo, friskies, or use tidy cats kitty kitter. Hope you don’t enjoy smarties, or shredded wheat cereal, consume literally any frozen foods that weren’t produced by a local company, use toll house chocolate chips, or consume any cookies that do (most). I hope you don’t sleep on a purple mattress, or enjoy in n out. Hope you’re not drinking any Bullit Bourbon. Or Budweiser. Or Stella. Or becks. Or Busch. Or corona. Or fosters. Or goose island. Or wicked weed. Or Michelob. Or miller.
Hope you don’t own any Sony products. Or apple. Or Samsung. Or Huawei.
Hope you’ve never flown American Airlines. Hope you’ve never bought anything from Victoria’s secret, McDonald’s, Walmart, Applebee’s, amazon, JCPenney, Verizon, sprint, Starbucks, or Wendy’s. Home Depot. Toyota. Motorola, FedEx, UPS.
Hope your bank isn’t affiliated with fidelity investments, jpmorgan chase, Wells Fargo, Citi group, or PNC. Or… boa, td, or… any bank. I hope you don’t use banks.
Dipshit.
Go on, keep making our world more divisive by judging anyone who has given any money to any of those institutions. Or go live off the grid and stfu.
Your ISP certainly donated to the GOP over the last decade; get off the internet.
Unable to deal with the cognitive dissonance of trying to marginalize someone for eating chik fil a because it supports bigots over the internet, the internet which is provided to you by companies that also support bigots, you resort to childish name-calling.
I’m just going to report you at this point. Cheers 🍻
Yes. Sorry I’ve confused you. It really was pretty straightforward, though.
I’m going to block you now, because it’s clear you’re a low value user to interact with.
I’m sure you’ll respond with something to scream into the void, because you’re quite clearly the kind of person who needs to feel like they’ve won a conversation, and you can’t feel that way unless you get the last word.
Unlimited fresh vegetables, and a good range of them, is pretty unique in the fast food scene. It may be getting pricey but it’s a good slightly healthy meal if you make good use of the vegetable topping. Don’t be like a child and just get a ham sandwich with no vegetables, that’s not what subway is for and yea it’s a terrible idea if you’re just getting meat cheese and a condiment
