  • Since most governments are filled with people who have way more money than they can spend in a lifetime probably never.

    I will never understand why people who live in poverty or barely get by look at some rich CEO/billionaire whatever moneybags person go “yeah this person will probably understand my hardships and make it right, let’s make him governor or president”.

    A lot of politicians are completely out of touch and as long as they’re doing well everyone must be doing well (or they simply don’t care).






  • As someone who lives in a country that actually has this system. No. It’s a shitty system. It results in old shitty cars that pollute like insanity. Some cars are more economical and safer than some badly built cars with less safety features and those safer cars are actually punished with this system.

    You are literally better off buying an old banger that is falling apart and a road hazard than a new car because of our stupid tax system. And the people who drive SUVs here are usually rich and don’t care about higher road tax.





  • A platform is as good as it’s users. I left Reddit because it turned into a shithole. I’ll do the same with Lemmy if that happens.

    I actually like the multiple smaller communities here, it’s part of the charm. If you think an instance is becoming too big just go to another one.

    You can’t really do that on Reddit since everyone is on the same big instance.

    Also leaving Reddit is the best thing for my mental health I’ve done in a while


  • Why does the packaging need plastic though? It’s absurd to me that coffe cups and stuff have to be degradable and made out of wood/carton (which is a good thing). And yet for a product where it shouldn’t matter “hey let’s use as much plastic as we can for this packaging”.

    I’ve been keeping SD cards in a drawer unprotected for years and I have yet to see one break.
