I’m not interested in being polite to people who want to take away rights, promote discrimination, and try to overthrow elections.
The idea sounds great in theory, but seems like a bad idea with the massive rise in fascism.

How the US inspired the Nazis: not so much.
…and then we fought a war over it. Do you need to be introduced to a calendar?
It explains what it does, it does not confirm that it is what was intended.
The president can’t be charged for any crimes they commit when on duty, just like cops and CEOs.
You do know that is a problem, right?
Glad to know I’m getting downvoted because I don’t support becoming the very thing we’re supposedly fighting against.
“Don’t fight back, just lay back and take it!”
Wartime spending is temporary and will lead to massive layoffs and a recession when Putin’s failed attempt to start WWIII finally ends.
It isn’t like the US post WWII where there is a world waiting to buy the excess US manufacturing output to rebuild. Our decline in manufacturing is a combination of less need and the eventual shipping overseas as rebuilt nations started to crank up their lwn industries and US companies decided they would make more short term profits by outsourcing.
Russia on the other hand has made bedfellows with China and North Korea, neither of which is likely to have any interest in Russian manufacturing in the short term, if at all. If China keeps leaning into renewables, Russia’s fossil fuel industry will also collapse.
Putin doesn’t have only his ego to worry about when it comes to admitting defeat in Ukraine.
He also likes to say he is in favor and against things, often in the same sentence, so his followers can latch onto whichever meaning suits them.
…they knew they must be wendigo because they looked like normal people but something just felt wrong about how they behaved.
Humans have a pretty good knack of recognizing things without understanding the cause. Wendigo sounds kind of like a cannibal who got a prion disease, with the unusual physical behaviors.
I don’t understand how you thought this guy was being a dick just because he said “fucking stupid”…are you really that sensitive?
Of course not, what a stupid fucking question.
Thank you for answering the question!
As a third party user, I also see the icon only on feddit.io view of the community and not on the lemmy.world view of the community (or on midwest.social). In fact, I don’t see any icon on LW or MS, just feddit.
I wonder if the community had it up last month and the change to the icon didn’t federate.
I didn’t double down on anything. I pointed out not being aware of knowledge being the reason for asking a question.
You are doubling down on being a jerk though.
Solar stills are only useful in certain, niche circumstances and are improvised with materials on hand.
Finding some transparent, eco-friendly sheeting and packing it just to run a solar still is fucking stupid.
Seems like you are being a dick because someone else didn’t know that this was something that could only be used in emergency situations and nobody plans for those. I mean you could have said ‘filter straws are a better option if you are planning ahead’ if this method is worse, but I bet you feel a lot better having trash talked someone for not being aware of some additional context not present in the OP.
People are often romantic and playful during the wedding ceremony and afterwards as well.
It’s gonna be rough when they get married!
Guess there is no reason to plan ahead to take something that isn’t plastic for emergency situations then.
You know, like something that could be kept in a car or in a backpack on a long hike.
Is there an ecologically less damaging alternate to plastic that would also work?
The user is always right about what they are willing to spend money on. That doesn’t mean they know what they want, although a lot of people don’t want to change.
That doesn’t mean all change is good, and it isn’t like any UI will ever meet everyone’s preferences. For example, I hate adaptive design interfaces that are significantly different in confusing ways on different resolutions. Like I understand switching a static menu to an expandable menu, but not moving the relative location of certain buttons from the bottom of the screen to the top or vise versa. But that might make sense for some use case that isn’t how I interact with it.
Effectively, it’s a small, single-seat helicopter with automatic quick-fold rotor blades,
The fear of the swinging blades of death on top are going to mean take off and landings will end up regulated to private land, airfields, or helicoptor pads. That isn’t saying they are a terrible idea, since they are little helicoptors you can drive on the road, but it isn’t going to be something that will be allowed to land in a parking lot around the general public for an easy transition from flying to driving.
This punishes the poor in rural areas. Unless you are referring to only cities that will also be improving mass transit at the same time, increasing costs has only downsides.
