So your solution is to ban the sale of any kind of knife. Sucks that people can't really cook at home anymore, but do we have to make it trivially easy for murderers?

Oh, is the 100$/year developer fee not enough? And all the money people pay for their devices? And the 30% cut for any App Store transaction? And the money from the advertisements?…

You're not going to build a long-term stable system that doesn't limit wealth accumulation, because it doesn't take long until all the power is back with everyone you mentioned.

Yet it almost happened in 2020, when there was a lot more resistance against Trump in the US government, and no Project 2024.

Even if the Republican party loses this time, what makes you think they won't find someone even worse than Trump next time? That seems to be the pattern over the last decades. I do…

>> Not all consumption is good. > That's not your call to make. That's not your judgement to make. First it's patently false in almost every modern society (there might be some wit…

You don't seem to understand that carbon have different effects depending on the molecule and location. You don't even seem to understand that the amount of cattle changes when hum…

The supply of herd animals very obviously isn't fixed. Humans breed them for resources, and since the world population has more than doubled over the last 50 years, the supply of h…

Plenty of humans have have little ability in your mentioned fields, and animals can show an enormous range of emotions. If those were the only criteria, we'd have little trouble ea…

These days, abusing informational asymmetry feels like one of the primary ways for capitalists to squeeze out the last drops from most of their customers base.

You know very well that this is not the totality of available evidence. Why do you expect others to waste their time compiling a list you'll keep jokingly dismissing? If you're ser…

Are these really the only ways of spending tax income you're aware of?

Because there's literally only one comment by one rich dude! No need to look at any further evidence, case closed!

Oh come on. Laws aren't immutable. If this were an actual issue, you'd easily be able to point out all the previous times similar laws have kept us stuck on outdated standards. For…

This is a tired talking point. Yes, they were considering enforcing the most common standard at the time if the industry didn't want to play along. Unless you have evidence that th…

It definitely should be, but this just goes to show that regulations are necessary if we don't want companies to unnecessarily screw with users. It would have been better that way …

I've read a few times now that applying reflective foil to the inside using water can lead to broken windows - though I can't remember any linking to statistics or studies, so it c…

Are these numbers actually based on the same way of counting heat-related deaths? As far as I have seen Europe looks at excess mortality, while the US only counts deaths explicitly…

I try to do the same, but I rarely know which ones get advertised too much due to adblocking. It'd be great if there'd be some directory which lists the big offenders!

On the other hand, brand recognition is fundamentally a function of advertisement. This would mean that the money spent on advertising has to be invested into improving products in…

Not only is the current US government on a completely different level of corruption, but it's also actively trying to suppress dissent in increasingly forceful ways. And they're wo…

You might have a point if Codeberg banned any and all AI-generated code, but they're not doing that. So why are you expecting them to follow your maximalist caricature of their pri…

I don't know, should they? Unless I've missed something, Codeberg haven't mentioned anything like this. You seem to be the only one bringing this strange idea up. So why are you as…

This step perfectly aligns with the political direction Codeberg had from the very start. Who are you to now come in and demand they change to fit your political stance? This isn't…
