How does this argument apply to Lemmy? I get the number of instances could be confusing but you don’t have to know or care about any of that. If you don’t you just land on some registration page and do it. I honestly don’t see how that’s more technical than registering to Reddit, Facebook or Instagram.

Yet more whataboutism. This thread is about tankies not capitalist slavery.

It’s extremely unconvincing to say “Sure it was horrible last time, but next time it’ll be different.” Trotskyists and ultraleftists compensate by prettying up their picture of socialism and picking more obscure (usually short-lived) experiments to uphold as the real deal. But this just gives ammunition to those who say “Socialism doesn’t work” or “Socialism is a utopian fantasy.” And lurking behind the whole conversation is Stalin, who for the average Westerner represents the unadvisability of trying to radically change the world at all. No matter how much you insist that your thing isn’t Stalinist, the specter of Stalin is still going to affect how people think about (any form of) socialism — tankies have decided that there is no getting around the problem of addressing Stalin’s legacy. That legacy, as it stands, at least in Western public opinion (they feel differently about him in other parts of the world), is largely the product of Cold War propaganda.

That’s the gist. Then he goes on with another paragraph of whataboutism but of course not a single mention of the tens of millions of dead both, Stalin and Mao, were responsible for.

Of course he’s also an western armchair socialist. People that actually lived in the Sowjet Union (and not in today’s Russia) draw quite a different picture.

Could be a microphone…

Imagine your mum died and her nurse pulled that shit and the hospital just shrugged it off. It’s not about the amount - demeaning someone posthumously should have consequences.

At that time my bank allowed up to 6 digits as a password. I kid you not, like a card PIN but for online banking login. I believe the whole banking security relies on their backoffices still running on paper.

Maybe Uranus needs some pondering too.

Tomb Raider was released in 1996 and DK64 in 1999. Three years were kind of a big difference back then.

Which messenger? Signal and WhatsApp support it.

Edit: saw your reply below, it’s Facebook Messenger. Yeah, that’s a whole other problem of its own.

However, that wasn’t the only reason. The Pledge of Allegiance also was created to venerate the flag and “foster patriotism,”

From your own link. To me sounds more plausible than “it was Big Flag!”

Fuck Chrome, too.

has a ahape that makes it easy to figure out

May I introduce you to USB C then where it doesn’t fucking matter how you plug it? I definitely prefer mini over the micro abomination but it’s not “the best”.

It’s pretty apolitical. It’s about the music (and getting drunk).

I’ll miss traffic predictions and live traffic rerouting

That’s the only feature I’m using it for. The car’s built-in navigation is sufficient for “dumb” routing.

I’d really hate if they fuck up Maps since there are no alternatives on the same level but since it’s the last of their services I depend on, I could degoogle for good.

I don’t want to hear perfectionist fallacy arguments

You mean like the ones you gave if there was a 100% renewable power grid and transportation was 100% electrical glass would be carbon neutral?

Well, both aren’t and we are a long way from either, so that argument stands. You may care about your nutsack, as do I about my own, but climate change is the more critical problem.

I hardly want to reply for your aggressiveness. I don’t see how that’s been called for.

But yes, I was being serious because you explicitly excluded all bottles by “bottled beverages”. So I thought, water can be replaced by tap water (I do that personally because I don’t want carry crates that are unnecessary) but what about beer, for example? I could order kegs (no sarcasm, they start at 5 liters) but can hardly take them with me.

So, by “bottled beverages” you don’t count “returnable bottles”. Apart from that differentiation not being obvious, it didn’t occur to me because in my country almost all sold bottles are returnable, even single-use ones.

Hope that clarifies my question. Maybe next time don’t immediately jump to conclusions and make assumptions about other people’s lifestyle.

Yes (I actually live in Europe), but it cannot be reused indefinitely and needs to be recycled after about 50 uses (that’s why I mentioned the whole life cycle of a bottle). Also, glass breaks.
