saying that “gas” is able to catch fire on its own is stretching it :) A gas mix typically still needs a spark, unlike: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypergolic_propellant <- that stuff can “catch fire” on its own. But even there - it needs to be mixed, so technically, one component requires the other to ignite.

It’s frustrating that people are so bad at dates that ISO8601 lives rent-free in my head because I constantly have to tell people ;)

That may be but my annoyance was with the lemmy UI not allowing direct blocking of a user from an inbox message - when it is possible by going to the user profile.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
I got the first one yesterday and was mildly annoyed that you can not block the sender of a PM directly from your inbox - as you can with authors of post responses. Had to actually click that stupid profile (after reporting it) and block it from the profile page.

It used to be a legitimate choice to publish for Windows. Even when Microsoft started trying to force every private file into the cloud, I wouldn’t have chosen such drastic words. But with the fall of the divided states of america to an authoritarian regime of rapist / pedo billionaires, if you still develop for Windows, where do you draw the line? Gas chambers? And my objection to Windows is not because of Microsoft. It’s because of being the government system, that the totalitarian government has its hands on all kinds of backdoors and will use them to sabotage democracies whereever they can.

My point is Windows is an ecosystem enabling totalitarian regimes and exposes all user privacy to corporations. Developing anything for Windows-only strengthens that ecosystem and is thereby anti-humanity, antidemocratic and just overall an awful decision.

Windows only - no interest.
- Comment on Doordash deserves it's fate 2 months ago:
Exactly. You buy one and… you get two :) If only there were words for that… Like… Two-for-(the-price-of-)one or Buy one get one free or Buy one get two :)
- Comment on Doordash deserves it's fate 2 months ago:
doesn’t mean it any less logical :) but then again, marketing people were never known for excessive logical thinking skills…
- Comment on Doordash deserves it's fate 2 months ago:
the only times I heard it before, it included the clarifying “free”. That was in the - then united - states. " buy one get one" just sounds like either a scam, or tautological…
- Comment on Doordash deserves it's fate 2 months ago:
“Buy one get one deal!"
That’s not a deal, that’s a normal sale. Did they actually phrase it like that? “You pay for 1 item, you get 1 item”? What you mean - and what such a wording might mislead you to believe - is “buy one, get one free” (a.k.a. BOGOF)

The CEO is the one that got sacrificed to the gods with the hope that the system changes…
Moving the goalposts much? No one in support of Luigi would dream of considering that CEO mass murderer as “one of their people” as you put it. And since you know that, you absolutely did not mean that mass murdering shithead.
- Comment on "Images of 'Saint Luigi Mangione, The patron saint of health care justice' have been making rounds on social media" 3 months ago:
That’s really fucked up take on this. First, Luigi is innocent until proven guilty. Accordingly, he’s very much alive and not “sacrificed”. Also, you seem to mistake a wave of support (I am afraid our filter bubble suggests there is more support than there is in the average DS citizen) for celebrations. Also, by trying to ridicule the movement, you do propaganda for the establishment. So please get lost, troll.

The other two have corrected you on the lifespan of red dwarfs.
*They corrected me on which star the meme was about.
Either way, thanks for the mention of a theory of a second, “dark” big bang - that was an interesting web research just now.

see above - missed that it wasn’t supposed to be our sun.
- Comment on Think twice before gifting someone an M dwarf this holiday season 3 months ago:
that’s not the sun
Yeah I missed that reference, as it is an artist’s impression it didn’t occur to me this could be any other star since the last format of this meme that I saw was still using something on the planet Earth as subject of the joke.

Unfortunately, in the
USADSA, spending money usually means handing it over to the ultra wealth hoardersLet’s not kid ourselves and call them “united” anymore. Anyways, this is lemmy.world, not lemmy.dsa, so while I am pretty sure that even in the DSA, spending money helps the economy, I was talking global.
- Comment on I'm pretty sure all of us have given up on any boomer giving us anything anyway 3 months ago:
I don’t think you understand what “spending money” means. It’s a good thing because one of the bigger problems in today’s world is wealth-hoarding - accumulated wealth grows and when it’s spent, it actually helps the economy, by people earning money from the services / manufactured products bought.
