Companies DO irradiate non organic ginger though, sterilizing it, before shipping it to stores.

You both are making such massive assumptions about the other, with these grand sweeping accusations, that I can’t tell if this is satire.

I lived through George Bush, and then Obama. Yeah, we fought a war. The US was at war before either Bush took the reins, and we were still at war after Obama left office. Yeah, hundreds of thousands of innocents died. Shits no different today. We just had a guy assassinated for profiting off the deaths of hundreds of thousands of US citizens by denying care they were entitled to. No different than the war profiteering of yore or today, but far more impactful on the actual lives of most here in the USA I’d wager.

Evil people exist fucking everywhere, take a gander at your local sex offender registry. Usually has a map.

“Most degenerate generation”? Come on, if they’re too young to remember Bush they haven’t even had enough time to make a difference. All the shit you see in the world is two generations removed from them. Look at every person in high government; nearly all of them are over 50 years old. Last time I checked, the oldest gen Z person is half that in age.

Neither of you are making adult arguments, and are reducing yourselves to insults to feign a superior argument. Ya know, the same tactics kids at recess use.

All of you are hilarious. YOU WIN EITHER WAY. But all your calculations are wrong, because you can breathe fast and take small steps.

Are you really using the same arguments as big coal?

“You, the consumer, are the problem. Not us, no”, like consumers are killing the chocolate farmers. No, the people killing the chocolate farmers are killing the chocolate farmers. If you drive a car in the USA, you aren’t responsible for the 100 million tons of CO2 pumped into the atmosphere, or the millions of gallons of crude oil spilled into the ocean— companies like Exon and Shell are. You merely live in a country where automobile companies lobbied hard for cities to be built dependent on cars.

You had no say in that, just like you have no say in what produce is at your supermarket, or what baby formula, or what your kids favorite drink is going to be.

That’s like saying, “if you eat bannanas you endorse the murder and rape of south americans and the colonization of hawaii”. Shits just not true.

I think someone else already posted the information above about hosting your own account on a private server, so I won’t double dip there. But yeah, you totally could host your own server with accounts :)

Well ain’t that a sweeping generalization. Almost like it can’t possibly be true…

Bluesky is built on an open, decentralized protocol. There are appications that allow the AT protocol to federate with Mastodon, even. So yeah, move to Bluesky. Its not like Mastodon isn’t also a private company.

Literally anyone could build apps on top of the AT protocol to create a parallel Fediverse to the ActivityPub protocol Fediverse. Best case scenario is we fold them in.

I am so confused by this comment, and further confused as to all the upvotes.

There is clearly an inside joke that I’m not getting, or people are really hot for gingers.

Naw, we are talking about the same thing. I bring up infrastructure, as many have, because that’s the reality of the situation. The entire continental United States is built for cars, and that’s not changing anytime soon. The reality is that cars are necessary, and at this time, it is near impossible and a safety hazard for most americans to try and use bikes due to the hostile road infrastructure in place.

It is NOT economically more feasible here, at this time, and unless the investors that have put billions of dollars into lobbying for car-dependent cities suddenly want to default on their near-hundred year investment, it isn’t going to happen.

Ahhhh, good to know! Maybe that’ll take off!

Holy wow, I’m so disappointed in myself for not seeing that xD

I take it you’ve never been outside a big city in Texas, California, Colorado, Kansas, Montana, Wyoming, Minnesota, Arizona, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Et Cetera.

I’m only listing places I’ve been. An e-bike would just not cut it, especially if you have small children. There are places you can not go without getting on a freeway, and there is NO WAY IN HELL I’m putting a small child on the freeway or highway on a bike.

Thank you for the reading list! I’ll take a gander :)

Okedoke, well I just learned that I have no concrete grasp of political labels and need to do a LOT of research.

equals delta? confused math noises

Yeah, people suck.

You’re still not correct. Here

You are correct that 12:10 is 00:10, but that’s not what was said. I said 12am is the 24th hour.

Plop in 24:00 into military, guess what you get? 12am my guy.

I’ll explain why this is the case. 12am is marking the 12th hour of the evening, 12:01+ is counting into the first hour of the next morning. Same with 24th hour, 24:00 is the end of the 24th hour. There is no 24:01, it rolls around to 00:01 marking the first minute of the next day. 24:00 still exist though, it marks the massing of the last minute of the last hour of the day.

12am is the 24th hour, so yes it still works. I could be wrong, but I’m not.

I’m not criticizing your conclusion, I just want to know how you got there xD
