that would arguably be the reason i made this comment, depending on how you read the room. But ultimately, it is a negative social behavior to engage in.
There is definitely some truth here to this being a “group behavior” but in this case, it was one other person, there are three people here total, you are literally just showing up to the hunting party after the fact to grub some free food at that point. Hence my part about “dont this it this blatantly” to elaborate on what i mean here, the social aspect i’m referring to would be a community, people you’ve known and that people you know have known for many years. It’s why when somebody new shows up, everybody is cautious about the new person. And slowly warms up to them. If you instantly warm up to someone, there is either something funny going on, or you’re a very specific type of person, which may be advantageous, but in this case, probably isnt.
you’re either putting yourself in a position where you look like a bad person, or a really opportunistic person, and neither of those are good. It’s just bad vibes.

This comment was unneccassry but just letting you know about my thoughts.
i just came here to be funny so.

if you’re referencing that specific graph, the graph where oil production starts fairly high, and then drops significantly due to covid, and then rose back up a little bit higher than where it was previously. Compared to the 2016-2020 period where there is a very clear and distinct rise in production? Even including the 2017 lull.
I wish this graph was a little cleaner, and didnt include 100 years worth of oil production, and also had a rate of change average over the top of it, that would really demonstrate the point i’m making.
Yes, I want them to adopt popular bipartisan policies, like m4a, green energy subsidies, food subsidies, new government housing, etc
i would like for them to adopt these as well, but i fear almost none of these are going to be “bipartisan” the political climate is just too much of a disaster for this stuff to matter right now. Also, doesn’t the IRA bill literally subsidize green energy? As well as appliance and utility upgrades for home owners.

ikr, if only saying things on the internet would manifest them into reality.

you could also download a car, and then sell that car to pay for more ram, that’s another valid option.

i would’ve bought a 5800x, but the prices for the 5800x were crazy, so i just bit the bullet and spent more money on the 5900x as it was a better value, and admittedly, probably more useful to me, especially moving into the future.
5000 series was a flagship line up for ryzen i think, just before AMD started really killing intel in performance, and also before they started chasing performance so hard. It has great power efficiency, and even better performance. It truly is the chip of the era. Especially with the x3d series for people who want more cache.
i imagine whatever comes after 9000 series might be a more worthwhile upgrade for you, unless like me you like to wait for things to become more cost effective as it falls a few generations behind. That’s another great strategy as well. I also tend to find that anything less than 3 generations between CPU upgrades and you’re close to the “this isn’t really worth it” line. 2 gens might be, it might not be also though.

yeah but i feel like that’s the perfect encapsulation of the meaning though, extrapolating it to anything else would ruin it’s meaning… Wait now this is just the opposite argument.

short answer, this is why american politics is fucked.

I would argue it’s worse than reddit in terms of the average political leanings of users. I have seen overwhelmingly far far left users around here. The few reasonable moderates I’ve seen are getting downvoted for incredibly normal comments.
i think it’s gotten considerably worse since the election, which is to be expected, from both sides.
I need to go make a eudaimonia post i think.

Seriously I am very worried about the mental health of like 97% of the people on here.
im worried about the US voter populous, they seem to have left any semblance of intelligence where they were born.

You’ve met different online right wingers than me lol. Maybe you are just on left platforms. I think both sides have the full range. We just see nicer right wingers on a left platforms like lemmy. That’s the only way they’d survive lol.
this is 100% true, it’s just that the right tends to be more politically engaged and active, than the far left, because the far left is a little bit too busy swimming through its own shit half the time.

I don’t think you’re right but you make valid points on xyz
this is 100% just cope btw.
to be clear, lemmy is the equivalent of being on like, far right community forums. So it shouldnt be surprising that people are very commie coded here.

its because they’re not, anarchists are the grown up version of libertarians.
Libertarians discovered anarchism and were like “we have that at home!” and they really didn’t.

getting downvoted is my kink though. I live for takes bad enough that they just bait people, while some others realize it’s actually just satire.

maybe in a more traditionally defined sense of the word, but neo conservatism is anything but equal to tankie based behavior.

- Comment on [deleted] 3 days ago:
i’m not conservative, by any stretch of the definition, though i do appreciate some of the more classically conservative values (none of which actual conservatives stand for ironically)
Nor am i progressive, or any flavor of communistic. Although that might change given enough problems with the US voting populace. Though not to the amusement of any lemmy users im sure,
Frankly, to be honest, i’m anti humanist right now, in my political satire arc. Take from that what you will, but if you take it the wrong thing, i will outlive you politically.
TL;DR im disappointed in everyone, you should’ve done better, you should have higher standards for yourself and your conduct, and you don’t and that makes me sad.

I mean I do agree with you. Planned obsolescence and whatnot is very real.
it’s complicated, a good example, actually probably the ideal example, of planned obsolescence is airpods. Designed to not be repaired, thrown away, and then replaced.
It can also apply to things like “lifetime” designed products, you may design something to mechanically wear out, before it needs to be maintained, or perhaps, require no maintenance, until you need to replace it. It’s harder to say whether this is strictly planned obsolescence, or just cost cutting engineering, which in the long run, probably doesn’t change much.
i think the most semantically accurate version of this would be releasing a product that is 100% good, and then a year later releasing a product that is 200% good, surpassing and replacing the previous product entirely, removing the previous product from the product line up, and only supporting the most recent product. I.E. it’s planned to become obsolete, shortly into the future.
Vehicles are also a weird market segment, they’ve gotten considerably more reliable since the early days of the automotive industry, they’ve gotten significantly more comfortable, they’ve gotten significantly more safe. They’ve also gotten several orders of magnitude more complicated since than as well. To deal with the aforementioned advances. Though there have been a lot of issues in recent manufacturing leading to parts that are just, bad.

The Xbox 360 was designed to be as annoying to take apart as possible, possibly to hide the cheap components that lead to the red ring of death…
actually, this was probably to fit it into the very weird and particular form factor that microsoft wanted it to fit in.
The red ring of death issue was actually due to faulty chip manufacturing, rather than bad cooling, it was an inevitable flaw due to manufacturing defects, rather than design failures. The heating and cooling cycles just greatly exaggerated the effect of the problem, that’s why it’s so closely linked.
Also you could’ve mentioned the update fuses in the CPU, IIRC there are fuses that are blown when the system updates, to prevent you from going back, no matter what you do.

honestly, im at a point where i’ve become anti-humanist.
The political satire is strong this year, and it shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
Perhaps the world will crash and burn, who knows, exciting times we live in!

wasn’t most of the fossil fuel increase under the obama admin an increase in natural gas? Rather than oil/coal, in order to replace, said infrastructure, as it’s cleaner.

if some industrial plant uses a diesel engine, and replaces it with a diesel engine that uses less diesel to achieve the same outcome, does that not reduce the overall consumption?
strictly speaking, generally, yes it would. However for the sake of the argument, including this kind of detail is.
Not important.

so you mean all the oil production that trump created, that biden kept relatively linear wasn’t good enough?
You want the dems to reverse everything the republicans do, and more? Good luck with a political campaign.

you and me both my friend, you and me both.
People, throughout all of the cool things they have done throughout history, are also the single stupidest organism to ever fucking exist and i cannot express my rage over how stupid people can be without being banned.
So, please, random lemmy users reading this, reactionary engagement is bad, use critical thinking, and don’t use quippy retorts. They don’t actually do anything.
People just want to watch the world burn, and so do i, not because i think my version of the world is better, but because it brings me enjoyment when i get to see people suffer the results of their choices. I will do nothing to stop you, and laugh all the way down. The world is in your hands my friend, choose wisely.

I hope this medal makes up for 2024 being the year of highest oil production in US history.
i’m actually curious to know how it compares to global production. With the war in ukraine and what not, kicked a HUGE export market right off a cliff.

The word is incredibly vague
isnt that, the point?
It’s supposed to refer to “normal” people. an incredibly broad and vague selection of people, who are, rather indistinct.
