I mean, wouldn’t be too out-there. How many Americans are living paycheck to paycheck with some sort of massive debt? How many can’t afford to have any assets? How many more accrue even greater debt to either survive, or drop money they don’t have on shit they don’t need (like that latest BMW) just so they can keep up with the Joneses?
What’s horrifying to me isn’t that VW used ‘everyone does it’ as a defense, it’s that multiple carmakers are apparently gassing monkeys for emission tests.
Reminder that VW was established by Hitler.
There’s just so many of these fuckos who want everyone except themselves to RTO.
Holy fucking shit, those people sound like the scum of the Earth. How the fuck do they live with themselves?
TIL the Brits who colonized Africa, India and hordes of other nations were actually natives
And it’ll only get more expensive. Eventually, not using renewables will be too expensive to ignore.
Well we’re not quite where we can replace it, and won’t be for a while. Keep in mind that oil isn’t just burnt for transportation, we use it to make plastics too. And steel. And a ton of other shit.
Depends. Will this save on all the oil wasted to ship new oil into the UK?
As the other guy said: we can’t. We still need oil to set up the infrastructure needed for a net-zero future, which means we’re still forced to use oil for a while longer.
Oil will become prohibitively expensive at least a decade before reserves start running dry, so we’ll be driven to net zero before that anyway.
It would be funny to watch though
Yeah, I know…it’s just such a shitty thing, being forced to drive when you’re not even in your senses.
It is. Do not drive unless you’re focused.
If the copyright holder no longer provides a legal way to acquire any piece of media directly from them, making it so that the only way to acquire it legally is in a manner that prevents the copyright holder from seeing any profit, and the legal option is essentially a grift where you’re sometimes paying 100x the sticker value for something where the copyright holder won’t see a single cent…
Is toxicity a function of size, or is it a function of an environment in which toxicity is encouraged?
Both.
I’d say the downfall started with the AMA fiasco. It was never the same once they fired Victoria.
Reddit didn’t start out like that either. If Lemmy is to grow, it will take years of dedicated active use from us.
On the bright side, people like him are unlikely to be happy with what they have. He’ll spend the rest of his life dreaming about the billions he ‘lost’, rather than being satisfied with the obscene amount of wealth he already has.
