It uses my likeness. This might lead people to believe, consciously or not, that I endorse the message, that's the point of the technology.

It doesn't matter if I or my likeness has convinced someone of a view in a practical sense, so does it matter morally?

Y'know, in my darkest moments, I've taken solace in the fact that suicide would also mean I wouldn't have to partake in capitalism anymore.

This feels like literal hell. Not even suicide will let you escape.

I feel like these people are incredibly disingenuous. If I'm in a hot car and want to make an exaggerated example out of what I think is bad design, I act like these people. If I'm in a hot car, stuck and panicking, I'm thinking about how much a window costs for about half a minute, and then I break a window.

For some reason they also ask how many you need.

I've done that once, and honestly wrote I needed four screws. A few days later I got an envelope with like, 20 screws. I get it, but still found it a bit funny.

... What? I have Ikea furniture that's lasted 10+ years, through 5+ moves including disassembly and reassembly every time. Nothing took more than 20 minutes to assemble, and I definitely believe this furniture can outlive me.

Oh wow, I just looked up Lemmygrad and was shocked and dissapointed at the results, seeing the Exploding Heads results changed that dissapointment to complete disgust.

In general, I feel l like Europeans experience a healthy amount of shame in situations like these, like USians completely lack.

I'd lie awake at night for the rest of my life because of the shame I'd feel knowing I left something behind looking as trashed as that.

It is definitely not the right answer.

I can make wine, to prevent me from making wine you'd have to make literally every fruit illegal, and even then there are millions of wild apple trees in my country that you'd have to cut down. It's impossible to prevent people from making alcohol.

In contrast to that, you can't grow anything that produces caffeine in my country. I'd have to import it, and checking mail in customs is a hell of a lot easier than checking the vast areas of empty forest to see if I'm illegally growing apples.

Hi. I'm autistic, as in I've had the diagnosis for close to two decades now, and on behalf of the autistic community I'd like to ask you to not associate your abhorrent psyche and worldview with us.

[-] Dashmaybe@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 10 months ago

Sure, and I don't like any of it.

Could you/anyone take a screenshot of the tweets for us non-twitter users?

Truly. I don't get this new "switch to Firefox!!" hype, are the people writing this very young, or am I missing something? I've been using Firefox since beta, I've never seen a reason to switch since it's always been the superior browser, why have people been running anything else in the first place?
