Something that's not super controversial, but you still really stand by it.

Private soil farming is a great business model. Low cost, high demand. With fewer chemicals and wider practice, the trade will be more sustainable.

More houses will be 3D printed — and smaller — in the future.

The internal combustion engine is the largest technological mis-step in human history.

I think components being 3d printed is more likely. It's pretty hard to do cookie cutter complex objects like apartment buildings and family homes. Things like bricks, supports, ducts, pipes, insulation are much more adaptable. I think a hot take of mine is that 3d printing isn't gonna be the next big thing in construction and manufacturing. There's really sophisticated and efficient methods of doing those things on an industrial scale now that I don't see 3d printers matching. I do think 3d printers will play a bigger role for personal use. Having a tool that could print out many different household objects just for one person seems useful. Things like toothbrushes, housing components for electronics, ceramics like plates and glasses.

Different strokes for different folks.

As a stroke survivor, I knew I was always getting the short end of the stick, but damn I really struck out

A violent revolution won't solve anything

That's warmish on Lemmy, although even here 99% of them are armchair revolutionaries and actually quite comfortable as things are.

Wherever you go, there you are.

People who destroy public toilets with piss or shit should be forced to sit down for a year. Public bathrooms would be cleaner for it.

If you can't say something nice...

Being online would be lot better, and I think we would learn more. Trying to implement this in myself. I wasn't raised right.

Anti-Stratfordians are classist kooks who completely ignore historical research, historical context, and evolving literary criticism, and thereby miss what actually makes Shakespeare uniquely enduring among his peers. I know I'm actually in the mainstream here. I just hate them sooooo much, it... it was like flames... FLAMES on the side of my face...

Whelp, never heard of that movie before, but that clip has convinced me that I have to watch it now. Thanks!

Clue is very good. Enjoy!
