@Der_2Nachdenker @libertas_HH Mund auf und fragen

@libertas_HH Doch wenn man es vorher gar nicht so richtig weiß? An der Fleischtheke herauszubekommen, wie dieses oder jenes heißt und kostet ist nicht immer so einfach!

Man sieht es immer wieder Leute lassen sich an der Fleischtheke bedienen Und plötzlich ist es ihnen doch zu teuer Statt es zurückzugeben wird es einfach irgendwo hingelegt Diesmal lag es wenigstens wieder in der Kühlung Oft landet es aber im Regal und verdirbt komplett Am Ende wird es weggeworfen Ganz ehrlich Wenn du es dir nicht leisten willst oder unsicher bist Dann bestell es gar nicht erst

@lord_bodom @IonaItalia @AlanAlanAlan26 Thats not my problem tho

@IonaItalia @AlanAlanAlan26 + the most important minus: cars are not a scalable solution, so if everyone takes cars to their destinations, you get bumper-to-bumper traffic.

I am strongly against free buses. More people will take buses if there are more frequent, faster, better connected services. That costs money. Fares also stop belligerent drunks and schizophrenic homeless people from riding the bus all day, deterring normal passengers.

LA banned this device that protects lampposts from having their copper stolen because it would prevent the union overtime hours generated by repairing said copper thefts.

As I get older the more I realize the homeless are not some unfortunate Bubba angels but more often than not genuinely evil people

Here's where this goes... Firstly, kiss successful insurance claims goodbye. Any accident will be blamed on "sub-optimal driver performance", and that time your hands moved briefly from the 10-and-2 or your eyeline wasn't correctly picked up by the mirror sensor will be used to blame your fender-bender on you. Secondly, there will be a big "people drive dangerously" propaganda push. "ADDW data harvesting has shown up 80% of us might be driving more recklessly than we think", or "most veteran drivers slip in to bad habits, reports show". Then comes the new legislation to act on this totally fabricated problem. What is it? Oh, it's re-certification. Every driver has to be re-certified after X years on the road. Or maybe your driver monitoring data will be uploaded to a database and scanned for errors. Those errors put points on your license and if you go over a certain number of points, your ability to drive is taken away pending recertification. You can appeal, and drive while the appeal takes place. But the appeal fee is greater than the recertification fee, and if you lose, you have to pay legal costs, and you're not allowed to drive for double the usual amount of time. You'll have to pay a "processing" fee for re-certifying, of course, and if you fail, you'll have to wait X amount of months before you can try again. Headlines will celebrate both the (fictional) decrease in traffic fatalities and that the smaller number of private vehicles on the road has improved the pollution levels in the inner cities. An opinion piece from an anonymous "former driver" will appear in the Guardian "I lost my drivers license, and it's the best thing that ever happened to me". It will talk up how much money they're saving on petrol and road tax, and how much fitter they get walking everywhere and how they know their neighbours so well now. And all sorts of cosy anecdotes about the charming characters and life-affirming tableaux that public transport exposes you to.

The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money. Americans, being an industrious folk, managed to get there in only 4 months.

About 15 years ago stuff like this would’ve just been a small part in a larger game full of other stuff you could do

@VerdantAntheia @SqirrelC @fluffygirlpaws No lol

@SqirrelC @fluffygirlpaws You’re one accident away from being one of those homeless smelly people. Have some empathy.

i think anti-homeless architecture is a crime against society and can only be created by someone who lacks a soul and any capacity to relate to others

100.000 Brutto, etwa 62.000 netto, davon 24.000 für Wohnen. Verfügbares Einkommen also 38.000€ Nach GKV "Reform" -2800€ für Ehefrau -1000€ wegen höherer Beitragsbemessungsgrenze (KK+ Rente) -2500€ wegen Lars' Steuerplänen Verfügbares Einkommen nach der "Reform": 33.100€ Also 16% weniger verfügbares Einkommen. Dazu: Mehrwertsteuererhöhung mutmaßlich, absurde Tank-Steuern, mehr Zuzahlung, Zuckersteuer und so weiter. Das ist ein beispielloser Raubzug an der Mitte der Gesellschaft.

inventing a sacrifice nobody needs

@rihwooby @ggetzie @StijnWenders A private jet and a Ferrari might be beneficial for me too, but not feasible nor realistic lol

@ruch483 @ggetzie @StijnWenders Maybe i am, but hopefully I've helped you imagine some scenarios where a dryer is beneficial

Aside from the fact that clothes simply last longer when you hang dry them, I also think it's just an enormous waste of energy to use a big electric appliance for something you can just do with no environmental impact at all?

Ich bin generell dafür, dass Politiker mehr „dogfooding“ betreiben *müssen*! Beispiele: - GKV Pflicht - Rente zu 90% DAX ETF Anteile - Inland Reise ausschl. ICE - Kinder müssen auf öffentliche Schule - etc. Damit würden Politiker ihr ganzes Leben die Auswirkungen ihrer Entscheidungen selbst erleben. Und wir hätten SOFORT Reformen bei Bahn, Bildung, Migration, Wirtschaft und Gesundheitssystem. Heute wird Kram entschieden von dem Sie selbst nichtmal betroffen sind.

Tapping the sign and looking into the camera

@rihwooby @ggetzie @StijnWenders So youre just lazy lol

@ruch483 @ggetzie @StijnWenders Sometimes I need specific items quickly, eg a swimming costume or uniform. It would be good to be able to do multiple loads because I forget for a long time and it builds up. The motivation and energy required for putting things on and off the airer is more than to use a dryer

@jasonc_nc Oatmilk is cheaper than real milk tho

Hi. Restaurant and coffee shop owner here. Almond milk runs 2.2x the cost of whole milk. Oat milk is 2.4x, macadamia is 4x and soy is ~2x. We charge more because it costs us more, not because all of us are engaged in a rightwing plot against people who prefer alternatives.

“Let’s subsidize a loss leader at a membership-only warehouse store” Just absolutely retarded

@knalltueten_ag1 @theworldiscrazy Was weisst du über zucker dass du über aspartam nicht weisst?

@theworldiscrazy Weil ich keinen Sinn in einem (künstlichen) Ersatzprodukt sehe, wenn das Ursprungsprodukt vorhanden und bewährt ist. Plus all das, was man nicht so genau weiß.

Die Kinder wollten Limo trinken. Ok, kauf ich. Dann stand ich im Supermarkt vorm Regal und musste suchen, bis ich eine simple Limo gefunden hatte. Kein Zero, kein Light, kein Kalorienreduziert. Einfach nur Wasser, Zucker, Farbstoff. Aspartam u.ä. bei Kindern ist irgendwie uncool.

@ggetzie @StijnWenders When? I cant imagine a single scenario where I'd need one piece in 40 minutes instead of just wearing something else

@StijnWenders Sometimes you want your cloths dry in 40 minutes instead of 10 hours.

@reisburgerin @DerGanesha Nein lol

@DerGanesha Angebot und Nachfrage.

Es kann mir doch keiner sagen, dass das normal ist, warum ist der Unterschied so krass ?

@Variant_Number @txjrian @StevieBlunder__ Chicken is generally the worst meat out there

@txjrian @StevieBlunder__ If you take the salt off of beef or pork or lamb it still has a flavor. It's not about seasoning, rotisserie chickens are just bland as hell.

not fun fact outside of the oil and salt these things taste like absolutely nothing. its like eating an oily, shredded sponge.
