I have no issues with anyone’s post to begin with, you’re the one who got offended by what I said, remember?

And for a person so obsessed with gender, it’s ironic that you would make that assumption yourself. It speaks to your biases…

Good attempt at projecting though I’ll give you that. Better luck next time.

You are desperately deflecting from the fact that you assumed OP’s gender. How about we start with that acknowledgement and move on from there. If you like we can dissect every little facet of this silly post we’re arguing over. Imho - and given that you already judged me so harshly - here’s some back. You seem to have some issues with men, you appear to be looking for abusers everywhere, probably from past trauma. Once again, I’m terribly sorry for whatever may have happened to you, but it’s affecting your judgment in a terrible way and it makes you seem toxic. I hope you’re aware and working on that. I’m sure you can overcome it if you acknowledge it.

People like me huh? You literally know nothing about me yet you figured me out in two seconds. I didn’t draw any conclusions from the original post, I took it at face value. You’re the one apparently making up stories about a man’s word and bs. You don’t even know if op is a man, you just fucking assumed. I’m sorry for you and for those around you. You sound absolutely insufferable.

Look if I were to guess I’d say most probably she never said anything of the kind, and that’s just the op making his otherwise dull question a little spicy for the people to get involved.

But if you take the post at face value and set aside all your biases, you have to agree that this sounds kinda bitchy and entitled. Truth is we don’t know anything about the situation, so we can only go with what op gave us. We don’t know if he’s the owner or just renting, what country he’s in, or even if he’s a he btw.

From what was said alone, the question that I have is why is it op’s responsibility to do something about it. Seems like a household problem that op didn’t cause and one that if she lived alone she would have to deal with somehow. So asking someone else to fix it and setting ultimatums sounds like someone who’s used to having servants.

Why can’t she call the landlord, cat got her tongue?

And the portions are half of what they used to be. Shrinkflation is insane, a burger is the size of a slider these days.

Wait that’s communism! They should calm down, the market will regulate itself /s

Not to criticize or anything, you do you. But defense companies would be a definite no from a moral perspective, and advertising is the driving force of consumerism which is destroying the planet so yeah kinda no to that too.

My point being, it’s already hard enough to land any job, adding morality to the mix makes it nigh impossible to survive for most people. If someone has a choice, good for them. But I’m not gonna blame the average salary man trying to get by. Only the rich have choices.

Fair point all these are helping the community, positive overall.

I like food and my basic needs covered.

But generally speaking, let’s see what we’ve got: Military is obviously out. Working for governments? Mostly out except for education related posts and some other niche stuff here and there. Banking out. Energy companies: mostly out except niche ones into renewables. Big tech like Amazon Microsoft Apple Google etc is out of the question. Car companies out. Anything owned by billionaires, out. Any sector that contributes to global pollution like meat industry, fishing industry, logging, Monsanto, 3M, DuPont etc etc out! Any company that employs people under minimum wage, out. Surely I’m forgetting a lot of stuff, but even with this small list, what the fuck is left?

I think the ability or willingness to have a decent conversation with people who have a different opinion is important for the advancement of ideas and a cornerstone of what we call civilization. I find it so weird to see how people “debate” these days instead of conversing, it’s somehow more about winning than finding the truth of a matter. Watch for example how political discourse has changed over the last few decades, compare discussions from the 70s like Chomsky vs Foucault to the circus of today. People are already largely separated in different platforms, blocking only exacerbates the bubble effect. That being said, to each their own and I hope your life is better for it.

Shut the fuck up Donny

That’s true, but when people pay a fuck ton of money to buy a car, the expectation is that it will be able to handle longer trips as well. Sure, your every day may be to the supermarket and back, but you also want to load up the skis and go to the local mountain on the weekend, or to the beach in summer, meaning many hours driving in potentially very hot or cold weather - which affects the battery.

Doesn’t matter how good the EV infrastructure is, imho a car needs good range otherwise you might as well use public transport or ride a bike.

How is range a non issue?

Porkius potatus

Bro you’ve never been to D obviously.

Just invest more in advertising, that’ll fix it.

Lack of education breeds extremism. Kirk’s rhetoric is moronic and divisive. He made a living out of spreading hate and in that sense what he got was some old testament eye for an eye shit from a product of that rhetoric.

His politics have caused the death of thousands of innocent people so I don’t care that he’s dead, but someone else will replace him. He was so successful because people are uneducated and thus easy prey of nazi simplistic logic.

The bad thing is that assassinations like this are replacing political discourse. People don’t discuss any more, conversations are considered as confrontations, nobody is able to have an honest civilized exchange with people who hold opposing views.

We here on lemmy are pretty much aligned, others are similarly aligned in some nazi platform somewhere and there is no ideological friction. Hell even here, when people read something they disagree with they just downvote like fucking morons instead of engaging in conversation.

Having a whot?

I feel for the odd person who isn’t a maga muppet in that group. The rest just need to learn how to use that dildo they asked for in the election. Slide that bad boy right in you dumb sonsabitches.
