Not bad, not great. I buy my veggies from a grocery that specializes in that, it’s much cheaper and less plastic. No yogurt? No solid/brick cheese? No nuts and dried fruit? No canned beans or dried beans?
What you really need is a $/portion table to see what’s actually expensive here.
I think the muffins tip you over the edge into junk food land. They are very empty and basically the same as the rolls, the kraft dinner, and whatever is in the red box. A fair bit of this stuff is basically sugar and bread.

That’s… hmm. Definitely not worth a YouTube commentary video.
- Comment on Why is living with your parents considered a bad thing? 4 months ago:
Because the last gen of parents struggle to let their kids grow up

piped’s been really slow to load lately, if at all

T&R is a thing

Playing Last of us 2 while I’m in the middle game of covid.
- Comment on What game has a great story and is worth the time investment? 8 months ago:
I’m replaying it right now on Survivor. Great game but so grim. I can’t do long play sessions because I find it too taxing. It’s extremely polished so you can play it at any difficulty level and it works well.
I’m here now because I want to find another game to play alongside or after that isn’t so heavy.

Wow fuck that.
I’m going to home on lemmy.today or lemmy.sdf.org.
- Comment on There's a steep decline in pay compared to the value workers add to the economy, closely tracking the fall in union membership. 10 months ago:
This is where UBI payments could come from
- Comment on we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas 10 months ago:
Think about it… housing, medical care, transportation. These need to keep up with population growth. If growth is achieved through immigration, then you need infrastructure to support more people. I’m in Canada, immigration has been seen as a positive thing for a long time, but there is a resource squeeze right now and increasing immigration is seen as adding fuel to the fire.
We are trying to address those issues, but it would have been a lot better to put infrastructure in place before aiming to increase the population size.
- Comment on Is there a more politically conservative part of the fediverse? 10 months ago:
If you think about it in terms of species adaptation, then liberalism is what allows our society to integrate changes and conservatism is what helps maintain stability. We need both and in different proportions at different times.
- Comment on Is there a more politically conservative part of the fediverse? 10 months ago:
I agree with this but we aren’t talking about castings votes here and I’m assuming OP is voting as if he is a sane person, but what are they supposed to do with the values they hold that don’t align with liberalism?
- Comment on Is there a more politically conservative part of the fediverse? 10 months ago:
That was like 15 years ago as I remember it. Being a conservative was about being a fiscal responsibility, and there was an expectation that we were all moving in the same direction socially. Now it’s all messed up.
- Comment on Is there a more politically conservative part of the fediverse? 10 months ago:
It’s because their political leader at the moment is a populist. They can’t help but be a bunch of cunts. Monkey see money do kind of thing.
- Comment on Is there a more politically conservative part of the fediverse? 10 months ago:
This is my issue as well. There is nothing inherently wrong with conservative politics, but most arguments I see about politics online are about highly charged topics instead of actual policy discussion. Lots of heated emotions from people whose easiest outlet is anger doesn’t make for good conversations.
It often feels like we represent media interests and are arguing on behalf of whatever source we spend the most time immersed in.
- Comment on we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas 10 months ago:
Definitely not that simple. Immigration is good, but you need the physical and social infrastructure to manage it.
- Comment on [deleted] 10 months ago:
Not the question though
- Comment on [deleted] 10 months ago:
It’s the party vs. the people. The people are Americans and the party has members who are Americans, and these people still largely support access to abortion.
- Comment on You didn't bought it you rented it! 10 months ago:
Ya it’s a shit idea to go subscription in any situation. You really do not need any kind of ongoing updates/subscription unless the product was built around a subscription model. If it can done mechanically on basic programmable outlets then it can be coded the same way. I would be fine buying a laundry machine, asking my utilities provider what time to run it, and then programming that into the machine manually.
- Comment on You didn't bought it you rented it! 10 months ago:
There are cases for it, eg programming a wash to occur when energy demand is low.
In my opinion we should be pursuing technologies to do this that don’t require an internet connection. Even being able to program a schedule into the machine and it can detect if something is in there or not. That would be enough since energy usage follows a relatively consistent plot. These companies don’t give a shit about anything other than coming up with ways to make more money.

Socialism is the thing you’re looking for. And in my opinion, market socialism.
- Comment on Switch 2 would arrive in the second half of 2024 and development kits are already out 10 months ago:
Sales: 5.22 million standard Nintendo Switches, OLED 7.69 million units, 2 million Switch Lites. unit sales were down -21.3% year-on-year due to the global chip shortage, though the OLED Switch almost doubled its sales figures compared to the previous FY. (2023 - techspot)[techspot.com/…/97520-nintendo-switch-reaches-1225…]
I have a switch lite. It costs me $140CDN used (as opposed to $250-$300 for an OLED). No complaints. Just wish I could play games like RDR2, Ubisoft on it.
- Comment on I just subscribed to Lifehacker a few days ago, and now I've unsubscribed. The articles are nothing but tech product-shilling, non-stop. Mostly Samsung and Apple. 11 months ago:
I feel like I’m turning into ‘that guy’ again but cryptocurrency could help this out.
a) connect wallet to lifehacker b) have fractions of a cent taken out to unlock articles
I know people can bypass it/copy paste, but at the end of the day it would be another source of revenue. They are surviving as is, but barely.
