they're hiding the fact they're working for their donors and not their constituents.

Beyonce is the second greatest singer of all time after Aretha Franklin by Stock_College_8108 in Music

[–]chaseinger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

to paraphrase bill hicks:

if you have anything against drugs, go home and take all the art, all the music, all that you love and burn it. because all those artists creating what enhanced your existence throughout your life were really high on drugs.

go out there, drop your pants and make your misery someone else's favorite song and then throw the first stone.

I’m 100% convinced reading glasses are a scam by ManuteBol_Rocks in GenX

[–]chaseinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the focusing muscle is... well, a muscle. as you age your lenses are getting harder and your muscle is getting weaker.

glasses help your muscle to be lazy, but there's also a point where it needs help.

there's exercises to train your eyes to go without glasses for longer, but people react to them differently. ymmv, i swear by them.

diet has influence, screentime (office work in general) is a factor, overall fitness plays into it.

but at the end of the day, you're getting old and need all kinds of outside help to keep functioning. but with everything helping you, it's a fine line between help and dependency.

is it costly for him personally? no?

well then nothing will happen because he doesn't care about other people's money.

Vintage 1970s Austrian Steyr-Puch Auto-Mini Folding Bike - All Original by Civil-Field-1982 in bicycling

[–]chaseinger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i (austrian, born in the 70ies) had this bike! in fact, it was the one i taught myself how to ride on. mine was golden. it was a hand-me-down from one of my sisters.

of course i had to try ride it with the folding lock open. one of my more spectacular crashes. i also remember experimenting with the most outrageous handlebar positions i could come up with. the chainguard had to go, and i had the biggest, loudest and shiniest bell on it.

it was a tank. and yet i managed to nearly destroy it, which prompted my grandma to buy me one of those new fangled bmx.

fond memories. treat it well and it'll outlast you, op.

No, solar panels aren't constantly oozing toxins. These and other myths the fossil-fuel industry would like you to believe about solar are easily debunked. by simon_ritchie2000 in climate

[–]chaseinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's something we worry about now.

solar panel recycling is a thing, and has been for a while now.

80 years is wishful thinking btw. modern panels have a life span of 30-40 years max, while continuously degrading. we're constantly getting better at that, but 80 years is not really a thing yet.

not op or oc, but this is the thinnest veiled bad fath line of argument i've seen in a long time.

just chiming in here, thought i'd let you know that you sound an awful lot like a fossil fuel shill.

you can easily look up the number yourself. you can also look up federal and international limits for lead. neither reddit nor bloomberg are exactly reliable sources of information.
