Saved that for later!

- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
There are some who vote that way so the lira stays low so it’s cheaper for them to go back and visit.

Loads quickly
11 seconds here after a five second wait thinking I could be a bot.

Filipinos included, oh and Turks.

Good ol’ ASD.
- Comment on Switch 2 GameCube controller will only be offered to those who pre-order the console 2 months ago:
Because you need it to play them on Switch.
- Comment on Physical Nintendo Switch 2 Edition games are reportedly Switch 1 carts with codes in the box 2 months ago:
But everyone doesn’t, piracy is still rampant.
- Comment on Physical Nintendo Switch 2 Edition games are reportedly Switch 1 carts with codes in the box 2 months ago:
I mean, PC games are constantly pirated across the world, but Steam has done things right. Switch games somewhat, although the difficulty means it’s not that popular.
- Comment on Physical Nintendo Switch 2 Edition games are reportedly Switch 1 carts with codes in the box 2 months ago:
Because of physical media.
- Comment on Switch 2 GameCube controller will only be offered to those who pre-order the console 2 months ago:
Sure, but that’s a different issue; I agree with that. Don’t forget that if you even are allowed to ‘buy’ them, they will close the online service for that platform in the future with no guarantee you can use it on another platform.
- Comment on Switch 2 GameCube controller will only be offered to those who pre-order the console 2 months ago:
But you don’t have the sub (cheap when sharing a family pack) so you can’t play the N64 games anyway.
- Comment on Switch 2 GameCube controller will only be offered to those who pre-order the console 2 months ago:
Right, but he sub is shareable and a pretty cheap barrier for entry… and required to play those GameCube games anyway.
- Comment on Physical Nintendo Switch 2 Edition games are reportedly Switch 1 carts with codes in the box 2 months ago:
So there will not be a way to play it when they eventually turn off their online service for the console. Uh huh. They were what we thought were the last bastions of protecting content/games, now… yeah, okay, they are just shooting themselves in the foot again and again here.

Was it? In Syria it seems pretty open.

I guess second-hand in that my dog was doing it.

Dogs do like butt stuff.

Sigh… and how would you like to quantify that when there are so many factors?
Obstructing traffic is not an effective means of protest. Target actual agents and entities associated with the oil industry, not the victims.
They are effective and bring about awareness among other things.

I am telling you when their trend started. Norway’s consumption has not increased, it is down on 2018, as I said. It had a slight decline in 2023 (the increase between 2020 and 2022 is when people stopped driving during COVID then came back to restart its downward trend).
Japan’s decline since then is commensurate with its population decline.
Actually no, if you know what commensurate means. The population has dropped around 4% since 2008, yet oil consumption has been decreasing since 1996.
Germany is similar in terms of consumption, Sweden likewise.
- Comment on fuck this asshole 3 months ago:
If that is the only metric you are looking it, kind of. It slumped during COVID and has looked like it’s tailing off somewhat. Without tax breaks, subsidies and support for other forms of transport, say, we will not shake our dependence.
But, we can look at specific countries and see if those things have helped on a national scale, like Norway, for example, which has seen consumption decline since 2018. And Sweden. And Japan. And Germany. And…
- Comment on fuck this asshole 3 months ago:
I can cite many news articles which show that protesting in this way is more effective.
- Comment on fuck this asshole 3 months ago:
Blocking roads in protest has proven effective at exactly one thing: Increasing the enforcement and penalties for jaywalking.
Well… no.
- Comment on fuck this asshole 3 months ago:
…but you’re not banned. Are you pre-emptively complaining about something you think will happen? It hasn’t, so, err… okay?
- Comment on Why do some people assume all immigrants are illegal and should "go back to where they came from"? Shouldn't that logic apply to all non-Native Americans? 4 months ago:
Because they write their narrative, or subscribe to one where they are the defenders, not the peoples who were dominated a couple of centuries ago.
- Comment on Why do some people assume all immigrants are illegal and should "go back to where they came from"? Shouldn't that logic apply to all non-Native Americans? 4 months ago:
So… looking at the context and the intent, is it pure racism even if they didn’t come up from the south? It’s bigoted, I guess?
- Comment on How alarmed should I be to see stool in my blood? 4 months ago:
Very alarmed. Go to the doctor now.

Do you still have it?
- Comment on Dylan is my new soulmate. 5 months ago:
That’s assuming it’s not cooked and wasn’t handled properly when butchered.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 months ago:
That, and the loan system.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 months ago:
Honestly? Because stupid people like you keep paying it. Sounds nasty, but you are paying it, and that’s fucking stupid.
