- Comment on Big booty meteorologists are best meteorologists 21 hours ago:
I’m happy my country doesn’t do bullshit like that. Having a women report the weather solely because of their appearance is absurd.
We have meteorologists of both genders and yeah they usually look pretty decent, but they are just professionals that usually happen to look good and they are in no way whatsoever dressed like that.
Why even bother with being sexist about the weather?

I absolutely agree that this will lead to more piracy, and I might pirate it myself for this reason.
Warning: the rest of the comment is just a rambling rant and nothing is directed at you specifically.
But I think it’s a terrible justification. If you want to read the worst takes on piracy go to r/piracy or the Lemmy equivalent on the db0 instance. Most users on there really think that they are in some way entitled to a game and they genuinely try and justify their piracy is a million different ways. Usually the argument is basically “company did bad thing so give me your game for free”
It’s like they would like to have some moral high ground, which I believe doesn’t exist.
I think piracy is wrong because actual people worked on the games and they need to earn a living and a fuck ton of money and resources was spent on making the games. I don’t agree that piracy is the same as stealing but somewhere along those lines. I don’t need to publicly justify piracy, I just do it when I feel like it’s appropriate considering stuff like money and wants For example I have automatic downloads of movies and TV shows and multiple terabytes of pirated movies and shows.
The only time where I could agree that piracy might be completely justified and not bad in the slightest is the piracy of stuff like knowledge like science papers that were published in a journal that demands fuck tons of money and give backs nothing to the author(s)

I pirate myself but if you play the game in some way how haven’t they earned your money?
If you want to boycott do it with some backbone at least. Don’t play the fucking game and don’t talk about it whatsoever.

What’s up with Lemmy and Reddit users having to justify when they pirate stuff? Most of the time I simply don’t give a shit. I do keep in mind that it’s a “wrong” thing to do though. I don’t go around thinking I’m superior and that I’m fighting the evil corporations when I don’t. Some Lemmy/Reddit users seriously seem to think that.

Like wake from sleep? My work laptop wakes very quickly from sleep. I just touch my finger on the fingerprint reader and it wakes unlocked in just a few seconds. It’s a Dell latitude 5430

I do know though that smart cards are very common in the healthcare industry. I know that the police also use it.

Daycare close at 16:30 in Norway‽ How can any parents find time for that?
In Sweden in my city all daycares run by the municipality are open between 06:30 and 18:30. They can close earlier if no parents need it to be open later.

used in English, yumi refers more specifically to traditional Japanese asymmetrical bows, and includes the longer daikyū (大弓) and the shorter hankyū (半弓) used in the practice of kyūdō and kyūjutsu, or Japanese archery.

If she was so worried about divorce what about cheating which is way worse?

Force?
I haven’t watched the show in a while but did she file for divorce or not? If not I don’t care if she was trying to “force” it or not when she obviously didn’t.

Divorce is the answer.
- Comment on Royal Mail waives £5 penalty charge for fake stamps 2 weeks ago:
Maybe, I was just thinking about a video our postal company released a few years ago that said what I said.
- Comment on Royal Mail waives £5 penalty charge for fake stamps 2 weeks ago:
The mail volume is decreasing quite quickly though. Letter volume has decreased by 65% since 2010 and most of those letters are probably not from private individuals.
The national postal company recently decided to only empty postal boxes every other weekday instead of every weekday to the boxes often being empty.
Before that they also decided to only deliver mail every other weekday instead of every weekday. First class parcels are still delivered every weekday.
Sending letters is uncommon so I’m just surprised that there is a black market for stamps.
- Comment on Royal Mail waives £5 penalty charge for fake stamps 2 weeks ago:
My postal agency dislikes when you send objects that aren’t small in letters for example keys. The odds are quite large that the automatic sorting machines will tear the letter open and/or the letter will get stuck in the machinery.
- Comment on Royal Mail waives £5 penalty charge for fake stamps 2 weeks ago:
You do that in the UK?
We do absolutely buy a fuck ton of shit online and post some parcels here and there, but actual letters are extremely rare nowadays.
- Comment on Royal Mail waives £5 penalty charge for fake stamps 2 weeks ago:
Lol, is the UK like that? Where only computer people have figured out SMS, email, chat apps, telephone and so on?
Here the only letters that actual people send are the very occasional Christmas/birthday card and maybe an event invitation for something like a wedding. No one writes letters that actually tell something important. I can’t see why anyone would bother with pirating stamps.
Hell we can even send letters without buying a stamp, we can buy a postage in an app which gives us a code to write on the letter.
- Comment on Royal Mail waives £5 penalty charge for fake stamps 2 weeks ago:
Can you send parcels with stamps?
And yes people send way less letters now. Our national postal company has been scaling back on letters and normal posts for quite some time now. Because suprise suprise no one sends letters anymore except different governments and even then there are now electronic ways to receive those letters.

- Comment on ‘Huge disappointment’ as UK delays bottle deposit plan and excludes glass 3 weeks ago:
The trash can be sorted. So why not make it a problem of the rubbish companies to properly sort the plastics and getting them recycled?
Because sorting like that is very inefficient, expensive, imperfect.
The attitude of wanting to just throw everything in one pile and want someone else to deal with it, is so early 20th century.
It’s your trash. If you don’t want to bring a ton of bottles every few weeks, either go more often or drink less soda.
I’m living in the UK for a year now and I totally love the fact that I can just buy a bottle to drink somewhere and once finished get rid of it without wasting 25p or carrying that empty bottle around all day
People like you are the reason deposits exist at all. If everyone could be trusted to their part there would be no need for a deposit.
