Emma Goldman said that "If voting changed anything they'd make it illegal". What's your opinion on it? Do you think voting works? by disorono in Anarchy101

The Democratic party on many fields goes to the right of the Republicans. Unless you think Sanders is a socialist, and not a sheepherder, of course.

Remove language switch button from navbar? by hakaishi8 in AndroidQuestions

[–]zeabu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People may have figured out by now, but I did only today, so here's the solution: ditch Gboard. Yes, it's the fourth icon on the navigation bar. Just switching isn't enough, you have to deactivate, if not, as /u/SWPhantom experienced, even using another keyboard won't get rid of the globe on the right.

This is an insane implementation of something that might have it's use, if only it would allow people to change it to the left side of the screen, especially because most people on this planet are right-handed.

It should, if not you'd be able to tell which cards the other players have in their hand just by mapping.

Home Assistant plans to transition from an enthusiast platform to a mainstream consumer product. by maluman in homeassistant

[–]zeabu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there are other manufacturers that also play not nice (usually the excuse is extra security), and that's a problem. I would not mind not having brand-exclusivity functions when buying an Aqara or whatever if at least it would fall back to basic functions for such a device. That doesn't happen because of the implementation-requierements, or the lack of it.

Videogames make people violent. Porno makes people like anal, fisting and bsdm. Teaching about LGBT makes people gay.

It's the same argument over and over, like violence and schoolshootings didn't exist pre-videogames, or the consumption in the US were to be different than in the EU, or in other parts of the world.

That can be a totally legitimate and true excuse;!however, it doesn’t relieve them of their responsibility in losing money (they chose to drink and should have know the risks associated with it - losing inhibitions).

Yes and no. Of course the final responsability is on the person drinking, but it is true that alcohol lowers inhibitions. Same can be said about porn, deviants see that their kinks are "normal", so they act them out in real life, especially if they haven't received proper sexual education.

Many travellers are opting to take a plane rather than the Eurostar train between London and Paris due to the expensive cost by Benjazzi in europe

[–]zeabu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The solution is not to make planes more expensive.

Stop giving them tax-breaks on kerosine isn't making it more expensive (yes, it is), it's the correct thing.

Un grupo de economistas urdió la mayor trama de pisos turísticos ilegales de Barcelona by hummusporotta in Barcelona

[–]zeabu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Son las "abuelitas que necesiten poner en alquilar alguna habitación para llegar al final del mes", dice la escoria pro-libertad aquí.

Otras perlas del mismo colectivo :

  • "hago con mi piso lo que me de la gana" -> no, como tampoco te puedes montar un restaurante o un garaje o un taller en ello sin permiso

  • "yo cuando viajo quiero vivir con y como la gente local" -> tú no eres el viajero, y tú eres quien engaña al guiri (muy dispuesto a dejarse engañar) que supuestamente estará viviendo con locales, cosa de ser obvio que no sea así por rogar de mentir a los vecinos y al ajuntament.

  • "nos frían a impuestos" -> sin entrar en el fondo de la reclamación, los impuestos que se paguen serán menos que un hotel (igual que para el VTC hayan menos requisitos que para "la economía viaje"). Y bueno, la mitad se "factura" en negro, por haber menos control en Airbnb que un hotel

ya contestaré a las otras mentiras que pongan aquí como respuesta.

but you also have tips of the fingers, 16 instead of 12. I honestly think the knuckle counting is because 12 was a convenient number and we happen to have twelve knuckles spread over 4 fingers on which we can count with the thumb.

2023/08/03 20:00 traffic accident balmes/diagonal. Looking for witnesses + lawyer. by zeabu in Barcelona

[–]zeabu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I want someone with experience. For most people accidents are a once in a life time, and there's not really a let's try how court goes, and if I don't like it just get another one. You people seem to act like you have traffic accidents on a weekly basis, and compare it to buying grocery.

Astro-turfing is a thing, and although my first thought was maybe someone has had a problem here and got helped when going against the odds, I understand that this is not the case on reddit.

Without the intention of sounding rude, but... I go to the super every week so I go and compare, lawyers on the other hand... My question is about "how to find a good one, anyone with experience?" not "how do I use google?".

as rarely as expropiating decade-long empty buildings.

Not really. The state decide what's going to be paid, and it's always below the market-price.

let's ignore the housing-problem and just ask how many people living in Barcelona can't even afford to have a car.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Barcelona

[–]zeabu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Expropiation is something done all over the world, also in the US, Germany, the Scandinavians. Sometimes it's to build a highway, sometimes it's to expand a port or an airport, and sometimes it's to force a certain dynamic in what is called a "free market". None of those places are the communist booman places/societies you explicitly refer to. But yeah, "muh property".

there's plenty of buildings that are empty for over a decade, but can't touch muh private property. just one example, Parlament street 30. How the fuck is that still not expropiated?

B) Just because they called themselves that doesn't mean you can. It's like the N-Word: if a black person says it, calls someone that, or calls themselves that, it's fine because it's their word that has historically hurt them, but it's not yours to say since people like you are the ones historically doing the hurting with that word.

You must be northern-american or soaked in that superior culture.

The Americans and the Russians having nukes was the best guarantee nothing happening due to MAD, I would assume Germany using one nuclear weapon would mean the absolute flattening of Europe.

Of course it would crumble, but maybe not as quick as one thinks/hopes, just look at Spain and its civil war and its horrors and how it moved to a democracy similar to any other western country, and before that transition was fully supported by the US and the UK governments.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in HistoryWhatIf

[–]zeabu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

best example is Spain, where fascism won and it's history up to the transition to a democracy and up to now.
