  I kinda doubt you are allowed to ride a horse drunk

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Zero to Hero⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Hu, we always complain Brussel sprouts aren’t bitter enough anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How a small but vocal minority of social media users distort reality and sow division⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Same here, almost everything I read on Lemmy is very left-leaning.

  Honestly no idea where people are seeing these comments.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ailanthus⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Stay the fuck away from those. Phototoxic weeds are no joke.

  In all seriousness, there’s a list of plants EU nations are supposed to weed. I think they do as much as they can for plants like Giant Hogweed (mostly because they tend to hurt children and people who don’t know about their properties)

  In the case of Japanese Knotweed, they have basically given up, so it just flourishes everywhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ailanthus⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  We have a saying here that applies to Japanese Knotweed: if you can’t beat it, eat it.

  The young plants have a rhubarb like taste, we made cake with it once.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨#StopKillingGames Update: Netherlands passes threshold⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Multiple ways.

  Companies can completely erase the idea of ownership. If everything is subscription-based, they can simply stop the subscription and have no further obligations.

  Or Europe just gets completely locked out of functionality, as already happens in some European countries.

  Of course good things can come from this, but I’ve read here several times that this just isn’t a good proposition and might just lead to the anti-consumer practices disappearing in a negative way too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨#StopKillingGames Update: Netherlands passes threshold⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Or kill it completely. The only reason I’ve held off signing this is that the wording is so vague that it could work in favor of gaming companies. I’d rather not see that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon wants to go to Nuuk⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Greenland is not a country though, it’s part of Denmark, although it has autonomy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It genuinely upsets me that Valve spent their time and resources on another Dota variation⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, stuff has leaked about a possible new Half Life game, I guess we’ll see soon™

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Deadlock (Valve's Unannounced Title) Passes 12k Peak Players in Closed Alpha⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks! Will definitely pass it on!

  Happy to keep it going toohttps://steamcommunity.com/id/Hawked/

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Technically Correct⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You forgot the most important part:

  The final decision rests with the TSA officer on whether an item is allowed through the checkpoint.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If 1 million people sign a petition, a ban on rendering multiplayer games unplayable has a chance to become law in Europe⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  While this would be great for those “online needed to play” games, wouldn’t this also lead to companies preferring subscription models?

  I’d assume it’s easier to not include multiplayer in the “base” game and just charge a monthly subscription for the online part. Now the proposed law wouldn’t apply, since the customer only paid for the base game.

  It’s pretty obvious what the intention of the writers of the proposal is, but I feel like it could have an opposite effect and push even more to the “games as a service” model those greedy publishers so desperately want.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon orders pizza⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nobody is forcing these people to take on the challenges. And clearly they enjoyed them enough to personally write a get well card.

  Guess having fun isn’t allowed anymore ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Quite a poor performance imo, lower than expected⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The target must’ve been white.

  I dunno, he’s not denying it!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pi Day⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  22/07 is already known as “Pi Approximation Day”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Artificial price increase so that you can post “discounts” on Prime Day⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think this applies to the EU too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gladiator II - Official Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why do trailers nowadays always start with the useless TRAILER STARTS NOW preview. I’m watching the damn trailer, no need to announce it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tethered Bottle Caps⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, only some bottles do that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I ordered my daughter a pizza, something I don't usually do. I got Domino's smallest size with two toppings. I got her cheese sticks and two sauces and tipped the driver 20%. $31.07.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I pay my delivery drivers exactly 0 tips. They’re paid a living wage, no tips needed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I ordered my daughter a pizza, something I don't usually do. I got Domino's smallest size with two toppings. I got her cheese sticks and two sauces and tipped the driver 20%. $31.07.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s an insanely high tip

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you get people to wash their vegetables when you're at their house and you don't wanna seem rude?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not about the absorption. They get soggy/slimy if you don’t immediately cook them

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can Trump still run for president now that he's a convicted felon?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I just don’t get how someone convicted for ELECTION FRAUD can still be a presidential candidate

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-balancing commuter pods ride old railway lines on demand⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Old railway lines in Europe often aren’t complete anymore and only cover relatively small distances.

  There simply isn’t enough infrastructure to handle a full train network and fixing them up would probably require existing infrastructure and buildings to be disowned and destroyed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-balancing commuter pods ride old railway lines on demand⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The wheel is just there during the testing phase as a backup, seems the final pods don’t have it, as it would make the idea useless.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This used book that I bought for 12£ on the internet was apparently previously bought from Oxfam for 1.99£⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, not according to these organisations, like Oxfam here who boast about the ecological and social aspect of second hand products.

  Clearly you have no idea what these organisations do or stand for?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This used book that I bought for 12£ on the internet was apparently previously bought from Oxfam for 1.99£⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think about the price, It’s about reselling something you got at a charity.

  Plenty of stores sell cheap, used stuff that everyone can fit in their budgets. More and more of these resellers are picking the stores clean, leaving a lot less available for those who “need” it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This used book that I bought for 12£ on the internet was apparently previously bought from Oxfam for 1.99£⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah yes, libraries. Those mega buildings with every book on Earth inside…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cruciferae⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol I would if you could still find them
