That's not what fascism is either lol

I wouldn't call china fascist, though doubtlessly authoritarian. But I don't have nearly as much info on china, it seems to me the persecution of minorities is less of a central political scapegoat and more some weird side thing. But without speaking chinese, I might be wrong. The US had plenty of fascist characteristics at this point and is rather open about the persecution.

  1. The dairy herd seems to be about beef from a dairy herd. So still meat, but offset by the fact that milk is produced as well. Not sure how they calculate it, nor have I ever seen beef labelled as that (...granted I also haven't bought any in years), but it makes sense.

  2. This just seems like a pet with a byproduct to me but maybe someone knows more about the effects of breeding for egg laying on chicken quality of life

It's just p2w with extra steps. Pay to get stronger, or pay someone to play for you to get stronger. When games are designed to either make you play a lot or pay to get stuff to make you stronger, some people will gladly pay to either feel powerful, or just skip enough of the grind that they can focus on what's fun.

I kind of get it, but at the point where I'd be spending hundreds or make someone play for me, I'd just look for a different game.

Being apolitical to the point of not even voting implies being fine with whatever the outcome is*. So you don't get to complain. If you truly don't, then go ahead. But generally, people still do.

*and they wouldn't actually know the specifics, even if I'm not sure how it'd be possible to not at least notice that whatever the alternative, trump is probably worse

Just fyi you cannot really stop seeding completely, torrents work in tiny chunks and the moment you have one of them you can provide it to others.

My problem isn't my job, I am completely fine with that, it's the way I barely function in my personal life, and a lot of that isn't related to the structure of our society at all. There could be less friction in a few places yes but that wouldn't completely fix my issues either.

Heating. Swapping which is far above the price of a used car.

Edit: i realize now you said water heater, but switching off gas generally involves swapping the entire heatinf system, the costs of which are usually 5 digit for a single family home.

HOA plus calling a priest to have the house blessed certainly point in that direction though. But I don't think that would be legal everywhere even there. Isn't much use to you though if the neighbour is the kind of psycho to shoot someone over this.

In nem ökonomischen Kontext könnte man das schon so bezeichnen, wenn jetzt plötzlich jeder veganer wäre, aber selbst dann ist aber ganz klar mit Absicht so formuliert, um das als was schlechtes darzustellen.

In solchen Fällen macht die freie Marktwirtschaft halt mal das, was sie so macht bei sinkender Nachfrage. Das passierte ja auch nich von heute auf morgen, man hätte ja schon vorher auf was anderes umsteigen können. Mal davon abgesehen, dass Deutschland insgesamt immer noch verdammt viel Fleisch isst.

It would need to have an atmosphere, so asteroids and most (all? Idk not an astronomer) moons are out.

Mars might be feasible at some point in the far future, but there's still the lag problem of 3-20 minutes depending on time of year, so not very useful for anything user facing.

Same in germany. One of many things that disproportionately affect poor people.

I should've clarified, with "this" i mean more the general sentiment about regulation of these lootboxes that I've seen in other contexts as well - other than the general topic I don't really have an opinion on this other than it seeming a bit ridicous to reimburse every customer in full.
