Few retired people I know can ignore the price tags off stuff…

Anybody who doesn’t have to work for the rest of their life because it’s voluntary + they don’t really have to look at the price tags of the things they want.

If the US implodes, will its resource usage finally drop? They are the most wasteful country on the planet.

I don’t get it. What does it do?

minecraft is closed-source? there are no open-source clones?

Woops, it was Europol that was involved in that, not Interpol.

It’s a joke about a commie instance ;)

lemmy.co.my incoming…

Have you heard on ANOM / Operation Trojan Shield?

Nobody. It just was.

Why not?

But during that year he finally grasped the concept of living each day and no longer worrying about the future and how life was fucking him.

Indeed. But living in the moment knowing when you’ll die and living in the moment not knowing are two very different things.

I mean, yeah, he had cancer and that sucked, but there is the advantage that you know things are going to end soon. That means no long-term planning necessary - a luxury we with a future do no have. I could live the best life for the next six months, but after that, I’d be homeless or back at my parents or friends and the next 5-10 years would be shit. It might also completely fuck over whatever little retirement I have left.

So “living in the moment” is good advice, but like everything: everything in moderation, even moderation.

That I’m part of the group of people who might never own a house, work until I’m 80, and never be able to just work on my dreams until they are reached. Sad thing is that lots of people have it worse. It’s unfair that 99% weren’t born with a golden spoon up their ass and can live on the work of the rest. Shit rolls downhill.

I wish there were a fact checking website that allowed checking any article and calculating scores e.g how many claims are linked, where do the links point to (available or not), are the linked pages trust-worthy themselves, detecting link circles ( A -> B -> C -> A), and so on. Or at least something that provided us the tools to do community fact-checking in the open.

How will he ever recover?

Oh, those “premium” ones. Yeah, those are clearly plastic. Premium cancer dispensers. But the … oh, yeah, even the “normal ones” are paper fiber “sealed with plastic”. Sometimes biodegradable, sometimes not, and sometimes not plastic.

• FSC-Certified Paper Bags
  Many of Twinings’ traditional string-and-tag tea bags now use paper certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). These bags are reinforced with plant-based sealants instead of conventional plastic.
• Compostable Tea Bags
  Twinings offers fully compostable tea bags in selected product lines. These bags decompose in home composting systems, making them convenient for eco-conscious consumers.

Amazing. Learned something new again and how I’m being poisoned by my lovely tea containers. Ain’t the world grand?

I’d argue that most people can’t see nor taste the difference between similar products unless they are literally beside each other.

Microplastic? I thought teabags were quite organic. Do you have a source on being microplastic?
