Bring only the items you cannot live without until your first break home. In the US, that is typically Thanksgiving or Winter break after the first semester.

Don’t bring a printer, a radio, or routers. If you have no desire to socialize with others, you may want to consider an apartment off campus.

This is surely what they are referring to. It doesn’t reply to your post beyond saying they don’t understand it.

Socco isn’t dirty, he is an inspiration.

That’s politics, bitch!

Thank you. I chuckled at this.

In the last few years I’ve finished a dozen or so. In college I used about 1 pen per semester from start to finish in the same way. I tend to use nail clippers until they are dull, too.

I leave a chapstick (Burt’s bees) at my desk at home and another in the pants I go out with (which moves to new pants with my wallet as necessary). Hard to lose things when I have a system, I guess.

Hunger games. She can hunt because she hunted to support her sister and depressed mother who gave up. They make her head of the revolution because of optics. Katniss isn’t special.

That’s just objectively untrue. Some might have, sure, but many firms joined the fight immediately. Don’t suggest nobody else came to their aid when that is just not the case.

Some thoughts I have which oppose your argument:

1. A mod can only be expected to be responsible for their own community. It is not reasonable to expect them to know the rules of other communities to know a post applies.

2. Some posts do not have an applicable community. The posts may not have a general place to be sent to.

3. There is no tool I am aware of to allow mods to send posts elsewhere without simply posting from their own account. I’m not sure that the use case here would justify the work needed to create that tool.

4. Removes posts have been determined to be problematic by nature of being deemed to need removal. Is incorrect posting not a problem?

5. When a mod removes a post, they would presumably tell you the rule which was broken. You may be able to adjust the post accordingly and resubmit.

6. Bigger is not necessarily better, and Lemmy may not need a growth advantage. Being hard to use keeps out much of the general population, which I’ve seen suggested as a benefit more than a hindrance.

What makes you say his accent is fake? I’ve seen some videos, and disagree that he hates Canada. In fact he seems to be a big fan.

I’m heading far into the future - say 1000 years or perhaps 100 if communication would be an issue. I’m going to grab all sorts of portable devices and tools to take back with me, and I will maintain the remainder of my life without sharing my goodies. The world is screwed because they get no fruits of my intense labor, but that is fine since I hate them anyway. For that afternoon of work, I get to live a great life while everyone else must suffer in modernity.

Yeah looks like I did something wrong. Must have just been looking at the numbers raised by powers of 2. Good find! Thank you

There is no generation war. There is a class war though, and this guy is not on our side.

That video feels more and more real the older I get.

Some quick math tells me you need 256 bits. Big numbers are wild

I think that is an interesting thought. But it’s not necessary to be a repost to be a meme. The propagation happens not only from the reposting, but the voting. It’s more likely to be viewed more if it’s up voted by many. The theme itself can be Dawkins’ meme without being copied verbatim via reposting.

He knows how bad it is and still became a parasite.

Ancient people used lead dishware for millenia. I honestly don’t think any modern lead poisoning is new or worse than it has been in most of the world. Id buy it if lead poisoning for the common person was more likely now, but there is no chance it is more severe with all of the regulations most of the world has today.

Yes, perhaps global food scarcity is less manufactured than I made it out to be. I agree with that solution, too. But the fact that people in the “richest” country in the world are dying of hunger is downright despicable, and there is no doubt that it is manufactured here in the US. We have the food and the owning class lets it rot so they can have cheaper servants.

From what I’ve come to understand, local governments are your friend. It’s the corporations running a train on them that messes up money allocation! Not to mention investors coming in and buying up swathes of land and using all of the public water for their alfalfa in the desert

I am not an expert in any relevant field, but I have thoughts. I’d love to be told I was wrong by experts.

1. Are governments actually in more disarray today than in previous periods of history? Or do they just seem that way due to the media sensationalizing the bad? Do we just not hear about wins around the world due to their inability to generate clicks and therefore conclude that the world is only horrible? I posit that we tend to overestimate the bad when compared to the good.

2. Again, not an expert, but have the richest had this much influence across history? We have never been so reliant on the goods owned by huge corporations? We (humanity) grow so much food, but let people go hungry to keep the cost of food high, because the bean counters determined it more profitable. In a post-scarcity society, we shouldn’t need to work 3 jobs or skip insulin. Scarcity is artificially baked into the economy so that the rich can exploit our labor. Late stage capitalism, basically.

If you cannot afford to shop elsewhere, then I don’t see how it’s reasonable to fault you for that. But if you can justify spending a little less and want to avoid it, then I’m sure you know what I would suggest. Do or do not, a wise man once said.

Are you frustrated that you can’t muster the willpower to avoid shopping there? The website was literally designed to get you addicted to it. The man himself has said as such. There are browser extensions that will block specific url families. I wouldn’t be surprised if entire extensions were designed for that website specifically.
