  We’re talking about you and your actions. Additionally, you are making the problem worse.

  And then low cost grocery stores close and neighbors starve. How about you help them pay for it since you are there? Is a little personal ownership over the things you see too much for you?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's a word that means a common saying which is arguably untrue?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s actually the point. Nobody agrees that potato=ottoman but if enough people agree on a meaning it starts to become the meaning or at least a partial meaning. Maybe the point is moot with you but I get the feeling you wouldn’t understand the joke.

  That’s called a private plane these days and it costs the equivalent.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's a word that means a common saying which is arguably untrue?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If enough people agree, yes.

  But what waste do they have that they wouldn’t want to eliminate for production reasons? They assemble cars from parts they buy. A lot of times these parts come from smaller machine shops. A pallet of parts comes in, it gets out on the car, pallet returns to the supplier for the next load. I’m not sure why people are confused here. It’s not like they want the parts to be individually packaged.

  Caveat: I’m not a manufacturing expert but I have met some of these machine shop people.

  The shareholders lost out too. They have never issued dividends and their stock has tanked. Stop spreading ignorance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Very few people realise how environmentally devastating this game is.⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This post is somehow managing to offend on a personal level almost everyone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Thank you For Your Service"... During the Revolutionary War!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Their service to the country. It’s not a great deal to put your life on the line for an average paycheck. Public service is still viewed as service, even if of military.

  This doesn’t apply when you are forced because you didn’t choose to do it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Thank you For Your Service"... During the Revolutionary War!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Therein lies the difference. In your system it is compulsory. In ours it is ultimately voluntary, hence the thanks. That being said, folks should know better than to thank a sailing ship hat wearer unless it is the USS Constitution.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yo brother sick car yo!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think it was badly written for the time but it’s definitely been gamed to the point where pickup trucks need to be part of emissions standards instead of exempt.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People who back into parking spots: Why?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This is exacerbated the longer your vehicle is. It is impossible to turn wide enough with my pickup truck to park forward because the front end swings too much. The more efficient car I take on normal commuting doesn’t have this issue.

  Quaint

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Day 9] Posting the Lemmy logo every day but I do whatever the top comment says⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You know who likes beans? Ukrainians like beans. Put a big Ukraine flag behind it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Reminds me of stories told around the campfire.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FOUR whole parking spots⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  That would be the US EPA and whomever influenced them in the Carter administration to classify trucks as regulated differently than other passenger vehicles. It unironically financially encourages SUVs over vans and bigger bodied trucks over smaller ones.

  It’s killed the work truck, the small truck, and literal pedestrians.

  Their intentions were fine at the time and it has resulted in average miles per gallon within their class going way up but it needs to be amended. The shifting of sales eats into any fuel efficiency gains. Regulate them the same as any passenger vehicle and give me my utility back.

  If this is the definition, I would like to submit the song We are Young by Fun. The music video definitely supports the idea.
