Like becoming rich?

Similar story with my wife. She had cancer and should not catch something as serious as Covid. So, everytime we are among a lot of people, ecpecially in places with bad ventilation, we wear masks.

I haven’t kept count how many times we were talked to about that. The amount of conspiracy mythics among them was rather high. And not always were people polite.

This is really idiotic. As if even other diseases, which required such precautions, haven’t existed before. Too many stupid people around.

Service needs workforce performing the service. Workforce are usually human resources. Thereby, limited again. Or did I get it wrong?

You can by creating more accounts.

They literally said:

Perpetual growth in a finite system is impossible

I don’t see how your comment applies to that.

Knowlegde growth may be sustainable, but it is also impossible to grow forever. (Supposing knowlegde is finite, which is, as far as I see it, the case as long as we make the definition of knowledge depend on characteristics like repition-free and new. For example, you could learn the number pi to even longer lenghts forever, but doing that is not necessarily something new to know as it’s just a manifestation of a repition which was already discovered.)

I’m intrigued how you would explain that economies could grow independently of resources. From my perspective, it looks a lot like each and every form of economy relies somehow on some form of resource or resources. As resources are finite, economies can’t grow forever.

Water? Over here it’s just a plethora of sugar pearls.

Stress. ADHD. Low iron levels. Whatever. Multitude of reasons for this. Sillier things have happened.

Funny as long as no harm is done.

One of them is an asshole.

If that’s fine for them, why not? But I’d rather like to have a taste of myself. Always wondered what I would taste like.

I assume they meant meat in general. Supposed lab-grown meat aims to be a similar experience, the given answer is self-explanatory.

Btw, you can get lab-grown meat in a reastaurant in Singapore iirc.

Wow, quite an extensive list. Haven’t expected that. Thanks for sharing!

Yeah, I guess there is some truth to it.

Not just republicans / politically right-wing oriented folks. From my experience you encounter this everywhere where people haven’t learnt how to have a civilised discussion. An important part of this is the ability to self-reflect and distinguish emotions from opinions from facts. Humans are emotional beings in their core and therefore the most are fallible. It’s only natural to resort to an emotionally driven and often stubborn defence mode if one encounters a contrary opinion. Even more so if that opinion is expressed in an emotionally loaded manner. It’s unfortunately a very counter-productive human behaviour.

And we have that a lot on the internet. Sadly.

What is the Lemmy narrative from your experience?

If you have a lawn to get rid of, sure. If you don’t have an area to grow a tree yourself, a tree donation still is a feasible alternative.

That wouldn’t end the war, that would result in the continued wholesale slaughter of eastern Ukranians by their own government

Did Ukraine do that? Genuine question, not really educated in the pre-war history. Sounds a bit unbelievable to me at first glance. Feel free to provide reading material.

Please stop thinking about geopolitics in childish terms of maniacs and minions, life is not a Marvel movie.

Of course not. I wanted to keep it short and on point.
However, war will continue as long as there are forces at play who want the war. Putin is certainly one of these war-driving forces, as well as his minions his top-people in military and politics. Given the expansionistic approach, the numerous threats, even against children, creates a pretty insane picture.

The only way to end this war is to retreat from the war, stop fighting and killing and just chill already. But that will never be the case with a maniac like Putin and his minions in charge.

Lemmygrad being Lemmygrad.

Yep. Nothing more to say in this matter.
