She pops up with some quote or interview occasionally still. Which makes me wish she’d just drop dead already for giving these morons any more excuse to bring her up.

A good quality kitchen knife. It’s a bit of personal preference but I like Global for their price/value.

Whatever kind of pan you use the most, good quality. Le crueset or all-clad.

Israel is the colonizers in this instance and I’m opposing them so???

I completely agree with you. Which is why when you look at the grotesque number of civilians Israel kills every year it’s pretty easy to condem them.

I don’t want the rainforest to be deforested, but it’s kinda fucked up to tell all the South American countries covered in trees they aren’t able to do exactly what Europe did. Most of Europe used to be covered in trees 200+ years ago and they deforested it all for industrialization and profit. America cleared untold amounts of fields for farming and building suburbs. Just because this was done before global warming was a real concern we now all feel entitled to tell countries like Brazil they can’t do the same. It’s basically just the same old story of the west wanting to exploit the developing worlds resources for themselves all over again. Just now the resource is air.

What? The constant wave of fury porn and Linux propoganda spam isn’t what people join a social media platform for?!??!?

Huh? Americans are like the most willing to admit their country is shit of like anywhere of the Lemmy audience… America fucking sucks, sign American. I had some dude from Pakistan super mad at me for saying women are second class citizens there the other day. Apparently they treat women super well, according to that angry guy anyway. I’m still pretty sure they don’t.

Honestly that’s pretty bad compared to some of the times I got banned over the years. I got banned once for pointing out that a post about not wanting to talk to men about feminism was toxic and detrimental to spreading understanding of ideas. The mods of some of the subs will just ban you for saying something is illogical.

Gotcha, I’ll just vote harder for the people I don’t agree with until they magically replace themselves. You owned me so hard. #Clinton2028

Wait, are you saying that the Democrats have been carefully sidelining, discrediting and shoving the younger members into a dark closet whenever possible? Man, sounds like we should just support the geariatrics then. No way they should get the fuck out of the way and let the popular young elected members of their party actually speak.

Unfortunately Russia’s strategy of mining the front so heavily it won’t be safe for a hundred years is proving pretty effect at slowing the Ukrainian advance. I hope the rest of the world never lets up on the sanctions. Russia is a fucked backwater that loves war crimes. They need to be punished.

So, no one ever visits london from a more rural part of the country? Ever?

You do realize there are tons of people who are literally forced to drive old gas cars because its all they can afford, and there is no public transportation right? Calling them murderers for trying to feed themselves is just disingenuous.

Statements like this really don’t help your cause. You know that right? Change happens gradually. We took too long to get there but to call the vast majority of some countries citizens murders is just…

The amount of left wing folks on some of the more extreme instances bashing the most left wing people in the American Democratic party because they’re not complete socialist idiologes is just wild. Like I want to see a major shift towards some form of democratic socialism in America and think we definitely need real change in that direction, but the hatred for elected officials closest to your views just because they aren’t extreme enough for you is silly.

I don’t understand why they feel the need to attack the left win branch of the DNC when Joe Manchin equists. When the Republican party exists. Focus efforts on some positive change and getting people you want in office instead of trying to tear down what should be an ally. Make the people you think aren’t extreme left enough the conservatives of a new wave. The defeatest attitude that just criticizes the closest thing they have to what they want is just silly.

Other than a violent change of the guard/revolution. It’s not going to be an instant process. You have to accept small progress where you can get it.

Love the intent, but this is just a really silly implementation. Make registering older vehicles with higher polution levels more expensive, and provide a tax credit or incentive for getting rid of them. There’s tons of ways to do this with less overhead and without a surprise punative fine for people too poor to buy a new vehicle.

Not to mention, everyone’s already fed up with the constant level of surveillance. Always being on camera in some way is something we need to put more thought into before we add to the problem.

A rice cooker takes like 20-30m, who’s sleeping while they make rice?..

Suck it nerd.

I shove the bar of soap strait up my ass and just express the foam into my hand from there until I’m done.

A lot of eastern Europeans actually miss/look back fondly on the USSR days… I’m not exactly a fan of them or other “communist” regimes, as they were all basically thinly veiled dictatorships, but standard of living was higher for most of the former block countries.

I really don’t get all the china dick riding going on. I gotta think it’s driven by bots and Chinese netizens. The west is a little unfair on their views of China, but they grab descenters with secret police and quash any form of opposition to their one party system. People who praise them and act like that’s a better system are crazy. Really wish we could build some decent highspeed rail network in America though…
