His whole plan was to avoid jail, I don't think he gives a damn what happens next beyond his own enrichment.

That's actually super cool! (Admittedly, one of my favourite youtube channels is practical engineering so I am not an authority on actual coolness.)

Honestly, carefully looking on marketplace, being willing to travel to the bougie end of town got me a high end microwave for cheapish and I'm never ever going back.

Sensor reheat, just heats my damn food. Frozen food setting, hell yeah, all thawed perfectly.

The rich live better and I'm fine enjoying their leavings.

It's always "cut government spending except for all the government spending that benefits me!"

Your last post is a TIL once you have peed yourself, public transit has all sorts of unspoken rules.

This is what I always find amusing about the Communist argument.

Like, the elected politicians and bureaucracy can't be trusted enough to regulate industry under capitalism so we'll centralize things and then trust them to regulate industry under Communism?

Edit: whoof, should've thought about human nature when I dared to criticize communism. Almost lime there is another lesson somehwere there.

so, it's the goddamn weekend. How does everyone have so much free time this late on a Saturday? I'll do my best to get back to y'all on a dirty capitalist's time slot.

How do folks bemoaning the lack of a global communist revolution in the 1910s reconcile that with the mass starvations that happened in the two largest communist countries? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

could reply that eating food falls well within a communist system, therefore you can't blame communism for famines.

Try again when you're sober, that's not a particular cogent argument.

A carbon tax falls well within a capitalist system (much the same as any other tax or method of dealing with externalities) so I'd put that as a failure of democratic systems more than anything.

I'm also not convinced communism would actually solve the problem. Communists have historically been pretty reluctant to share bad news, from letting folks know about mass starvations to, oh, most of the world news in China.

Having large numbers of people starve to death seems like a pretty damning indictment of a system. But I dunno, maybe I'm overly attached to food?

Do really large people need special bathtubs/showers to keep water from getting everywhere? (lemmy.world)
 

Hi! I'm trying to figure out if my anti fat biases etc are colouring my view. Background: I've lived in an olderish apartment (1970s) for about a decade, got a new upstairs neighbour a couple of years ago and now my bathroom ceiling leaks, grows mold etc. The maintenance folks have cut through the drywall a few times, confirmed mold, replaced the pipes, checked and watched for leaks without luck.

My guess as to what's happening is that the bathtub is an older one and the new neighbour is really big (for a Canadian. Like, not infinifat or whatever but would definitely take up more than a seat in the movies or airplanes) and not just belly fat but quite wide as well. I can't imagine he can turn in the shower without the sheets coming out of the tub and spilling water all over the ground (and with our poor molding etc I could easily see it working its way down)

Unsure how to bring it up so I figured I'd check and see if that's even a thing that actually happens or if that's just my inherent anti fat assumptions going to work. I don't know anyone socially even close to his size so don't really know where else to ask.

You could just use subscribed but as Lemmy is fairly small, if you want new content with anything approaching regularity, searching by all or local is all but essential.

Everyone's opinions differ for sure but even in fairly popular communities there aren't that many posts a day, especially when compared to larger, other, less API friendly sites...
