Right, but why are you ready to live green when 8 out of 10 people would take the cheaper oil that you didn’t buy? Just keep doing whatever you like, we don’t matter on the grand scheme of things.

You’re confused.

The money comes from you. I welcome you to no longer use a car and walk to the job. Poof, suddenly their profit falls. Multiply that by a society, and suddenly much of these firms can no longer exist.

The question has always been about how much humans are willing to sacrifice to save the earth, and the answer has pretty much always been “best I can do is blame a placeholder (some CEO/company, doesn’t matter which one, because it’s just demand from society and there will always be new companies as long as there is demand from you and me) and assume it’s 100% their fault”

Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t really an individual problem, it’s how society/humans work. We’d vote for someone who speaks against oil, but hang them as soon as the oil price goes above 5$

Whenever I see posts like this, I really don’t understand if people really think they produce oil/gas/fuel/food packaging, etc. for themselves.

If someone offers a money for a product, there will be someone else willing to sell it to you. You are the consumer.

Think of it like this - a electricity company generates electricity, as much as it’s needed for current demand. I’m the final consumer, the demander, the reason infrastructure exists. And I shall be happy burning my RTX 5080 while looking into ACs to cool the room from that PC at the same time, hitting 2kW usage just so I can do nothing and game, because who cares. I tried living green, but when you see MFs producing more footprint in their shitty trucks in a day than you do in a month using Ebike, and people still decide to blame some placeholder instead of our own society and way of living, then it’s quite clear nothing will change and it’s a lost cause.

I genuinely don’t understand their play, especially google with nearly 100b in stocks. It was known that SpaceX opening stock price was overvalued, so statistically there is a far better chance of it going down than up once the trading starts. It’s been steadily going down ever since launch as expected. If they think SpaceX will accomplish some breakthru in the long term, then why buy at start instead of when it pretty much stabilizes

I know I don’t have any insider info, I’m not trading guru and I’m probably missing something here, but it’s just weird to me

The easiest way to explain this if you have no clue how fediverse works is - imagine there is a third party reddit, discord, X or some other platform’s client that lets you browse their website/content. The developer of that client made a list of users whose comments/posts are hidden in said client. In reality, the client does not have significant user base and this affects almost nothing. Some users might not see your comments, but that’s really their problem more than mine/ours at this point.

Step 1: Go to a richer country for work

Step 2: Sell everything you don’t need, take a loan

Step 3: Use the money to buy out rentable private property (preferablly from government to get rid of cheap housing, aka. anti-socialism)

Step 4: Push for highest possible rent someone is ready to pay

Step 5: Repeat till satisfied

Step 6: Lay back and watch the news in peace about how there’s property crisis, rent is skyrocketing and how 1/3 of the workforce isn’t doing anything. Then talk about how much capitalism sucks.

I know many people who do this. Seems to work.

Sounds like a conspiration

Greece has enemies? I’m aware of history with Turkey, but… that’s history

It actually slipped my mind how painful the chaos machine was. My subconsciousness decided to hide it to heal the PTSD

His reason for banning people is transphobia, hate, bigotry, etc. but since I live next to Russia, I’m used to reading “titles” in the opposite direction (says X, means Y), but I have genuinely no clue what’s going on here

Isn’t that a good thing? Your comments essentially become hidden to bigots and downvote army.

That’s a nice observation and definitely goes to show your critical thinking skills. Let’s delve into this;

Do you feel like everyone around you is speaking in ChatGPT?

EDIT: Just in case so people don’t think I’m mocking OP - I was mimicking ChatGPT/making fun of it

You joke, but I have a 1TB doomsday gaming ssd stick (HP 911) filled with all sorts of games

China making an example out of AliExpress Jack Ma is probably leaving a lasting effect

friendly to the whole rest of the world right now.

Yeah, except for the support, drones, troop training, etc. to help invade an European country

Dislike is not comparable to genocide. I dislike all religions, including Judaism (Jews) and Muslims. That does not mean I’d personally do something, I just avoid it/disregard it/dismiss it.

While I’d probably protest any form of Islamification (sharia law) in my country, that does not imply I’m against Palestine. It’s just vastly different region. It’s safe to assume they’d protest against European values.

I get what you’re saying, but I think you meant Palestinians, not Muslims. US is in bed with some Muslim countries and much of Palestine is christian. Muslim is not a race, it’s the world’s largest religion spanning across all races and continents.

I need at least 9 of these

3 years is a long time. It still feels weird that they managed to level cities, but not presidential palaces, including kremlin
