I think it's like panic buying of toilet paper: you do it because it makes you feel you have some control over your future, not because it makes sense/would work out in practice.

there was a post a few days ago about Australia: home-farmed eggs have 40x more lead than the industrial ones, because of unchecked pollution in non-agricultural areas...
Can't escape noise even at the top of the world...
well, that's what happens to me, even with a small quantity, every single time. And I know it's the chili because it burns like the mouth did the previous day
diarrhea and irritation of anus/emorrhoids
Is there some secret trick to avoid trouble the day after?
this has been my experience with college too... just a waste of time to satisfy the bureaucrats. They think that winning a silly exam proves anything but your willingness to waste your time memorizing answers.
it's only gotten better if you look at food access, but food access != happiness; depression is rampant because we are being forced to live against our nature. I assure you, I hate being alive in the current world, even if my stomach is full.
Moreover even that is most likely only temporary, we are living inside a consumerist bubble that will soon burst (growing social unrest, ravaging pollution, probably a major war) leaving a horrible mess behind (we don't know how to endure physical discomfort anymore).
can't happen any sooner...
Singing might be good for yourself, but is
very nasty for those who live around you and don't want to listen...
Please make sure to sing/play instruments from within an insulated location!
you only need to relink, not recompile. i think oasis caches artifacts so there's no overhead.
agree agree agree. but it's completely unrealistic to hope that humans will do what must be done on their own...
those in the amazon are being brought to extinction by bolsonaro. those in siberia are subject to putin's whim...
but you don't have the choice of living like a hunter-gatherer, because all good lands have been swallowed up by capitalist megacommunities
or perhaps they are just fed up with bowing to a government that doesn't work for them? The USA was founded by terrorists too, from the POV of Britain...
firefox is still full of nasty rendering bugs (menus) which I believe are happening only on wayland, though i'm too lazy to check
why must be people be "rehabilitated"? killing, including killing for play, is perfectly normal among all carnivorous mammals, and we are carnivorous mammals, like it or not.
it's not murderers or rapists who are in the wrong, but "civilization" which forces people to behave unnaturally
while I agree that all dogs should be put down, the issue is much more complex than this. What even is civilization? there are plenty of civilizations where killing the weak is praised and encouraged.
it's actually 500,000 years now with climate change, or so I read
> No because once you used them I don't have them anymore.
I mean entering your house, doing my business in your toilet and leave. I won't take your toilet with me, I'll come back when I need it again.
> when I use the faucet to give drinks to my friends?
But your friends all have their own house with their own plumbing they paid him for, so he can continue making a living from his craft.
Writing a book takes months or years, not 2 hours like repairing a toilet, so of course the author needs to ask for money from everyone who wants to access it.
> based on open access to your work
Can I freely use your toilet then? your electricity?
You pay for the plumber, why don't you pay for entertainment?
Scientific knowledge must be open, but most copyrighted work is entertainment.
can't the president pardon anyone who is criminalized about abortion?
