Many urinals do have dividers. But also it's just not an issue, everyone is there for the same thing and no one is looking anywhere other than in front anyway. I very much like them because thet mean I don't have to touch a public toilet seat, plus they're the reason there's rarely a line on the men's bathroom.

Got one of those as well. I knew that pw was in multiple data breaches though. The concept preys on the fact that many people don't know how passwords are usually acquired and think it means someone has access to their pc.

That really depends on how much is stolen.

If margin is idk 30% then losing 3 sales to prevent 1 stolen item loses you money, assuming you account for the stolen item at what you paid for it rather than the selling price (which makes sense unless you expect it to sell out, i guess you can add a bit for storage+set up cost but that'll be near nothing for a single item).

Is anyone here aware of the concept that you can both take some personal responsibility and attempt to change the system?

Changing the system sufficiently WOULD result in many of the changes people could make on their own already. You don't have to be the perfect sustainable human being in a society that doesn't care. You also don't have to be the person driving 3km to work in a car instead of using the perfectly fine public transport or bicycle infrastructure. There's a middle ground.

It's a far cry from the average smoker that can't go 2 hours without tho

They were rather obviously continuing the joke...

I don't want to stand up for him, I want to stand up for prisoners as a whole. It's ok that his conditions improve if everyone elses do too, just like a bunch of other vile pieces of shit would have better conditions. And no one remotely on the left is going to rally behind him specifically.

But it does mean that him crying about it changes nothing because my stance has been the same before.

It's a common practice, twitch does the same. It probably just scales with a very large amount of payments that would be needed otherwise, especially with all the shovelware steam gets these days.

I'm saying that currently running ones are rather pointless, not the new one. Both the one in japan and china are pretty great applications.

Imo people should strive to be better than average for where they live. Leads to continuous improvement. Never make the mistake of trying to be the end goal society needs to reach while everyone else is still far away, the mass of changes is important, so you'll just make yourself miserable and not save the world anyway.

Japan has been building a long distance one for a while now. It got held up in one prefecture because of environmental and political reasons though. Currently running maglevs anywhere are all kinda gimmicky (really no point in going super fast when the distance is very short anyway, waste of money).

A web frontend for lemmy that silently included a blacklist that blocked users for just about everything the dev didn't like.
