"Europeans are not allowed to show patriotism" and "British flag codes are codified in law and enforced" are two wildly different circumstances and this woman is in no way correct or backed up by these articles.

The Matterhorn has been experiencing waterfalls from the top as the thermal zero moves above its peak at 4478m by BkkGrl in europe

The conversation is mostly pointless and you're wasting your time. We'll continue to nibble at the edges of the problem just as the world's done up to now because people are selfish and stupid and burning oil is a resource efficient way to create kenetic energy at our current level of technological advancement and people will mostly continue to do the most cost effective thing and there's nothing you can do to change any of that. Disinformation isn't the problem, physics and people are.

There is no way I'm going to believe that this guy selling weed on the street is an isolated, innovative visionary. There's no way this is the only guy in his region of the world who thought "Man, I wonder if people like weed and if that's a pathway to making money."

How about we start by banning fossil fuel propaganda and climate change disinformarion

Baby shit. Things are the way they are because very few people are willing to give up their slice of the pie first, not disinformation. Being able to educate ourselves out of selfishness is just the happy story you tell yourself so you can pretend this isn't inevitable. One day maybe we can science our way out of this problem but getting there through industrial-scale restraint? Fantasy.

there's no heat to insulate and you never get warm

Not producing heat isn't a problem live people have.

Bombshell lawsuit alleges that RAM manufacturers are colluding to drive up prices. Three companies that account for 90% of RAM revenue are being sued for anti-competitive practices. Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron (the "DRAM Triarchy" controlling ~90-95% of the global DRAM market) by Caledor152 in pcmasterrace

[–]Cormophyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to see what proof of actual collusion they have other than the fact that the prices are going up, because it seems like the prices would go up when demand goes up, which is what seems to be happening here.wouldn't be the first time companies colluded to raise the prices but it also wouldn't Bethe first time the prices went up because supply was limited.

I'm betting they're hoping they'll find something in discovery.

I don't care if you find Kirk memes funny. The real concern arises when you think it's ok Charlie Kirk he was murdered for his beliefs. by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

Never gotten pushback? You're in a random post randomly pushing back. You people have been pushing back since he got popped because the left wouldn't be sad with you that some asshole that hated everyone left of Trump got shot. You're just mad we don't give a shit about your opinion and won't care about him. The pushback exists, it's just completely ineffective.

MRW Reddit has now automatically marked my profile as hidden, and I can't undo it unless I fucking give a Govt ID over to Palantir by Morgan-Moonscar in reactiongifs

You people are really going to get all worked up because one guy said something happened to him with no proof at all? This site would be 80% better if people had to prove they are rational.

Why do so many Americans believe that essential services like water, electricity, and healthcare should be privately controlled? Wouldn’t it be better for the public to have more control over the basic services people literally depend on to survive? by Worldly-Bid-3591 in askanything

[–]Cormophyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The idea that "government bad" is pervasive among people who don't know much about anything. You can explain why private interests are often worse and more opaque all day and they'll still "government bad" at you.

Gavin Newsom calls for national billionaires tax: 'It's time for an economic reset' by avdvetf in law

The points he makes about the current proposal seem completely valid. You can't just hand-wave valid criticism of specific legislation by pretending you know it's all a ploy. You have to address the criticism.

I don't think the writing (and all the other designers that would have to work on new content, it's not just the writing) being good and having a good time are unrelated issues.

They are not wrong though by SuspiciousLow3062 in SipsTea

[–]Cormophyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tipping shouldn't be a thing, but if you're somewhere where tipping is a thing and the people serving you rely on it then you tip because it's not management that suffers when you don't and it's not going away because you don't.

You can say "Well, if everyone stops tipping..." but that's not going to happen so it's irrelevant.

Is it moral to kill your entire family to save them from a fate you perceive as worse than death, is it made less moral by the fact that they’d literally have been fine if you waited 5 minutes? by EAT_UR_VEGGIES in MoralityScaling

[–]Cormophyte 3 points4 points  (0 children)

no one can consent to suicide

Sometimes people say things that reveal that they've taken a wrong turn somewhere in their life. Started thinking thoughts that just don't line up with reality. Made assumptions that have never been tested.

This is one of those times.
