What country is this in?

You don’t see ads that contain tips on how to use less product these days.

Sick patina.

That sounds pretty liberating. I’m investing by buying ETFs and if I’d like to move my money from one fund to another I’d have to sell and pay 30/34% tax for the winnings.

You’re American? Can you do the thing you described without getting taxed?

The originator of the term is the late Terry Davis, a paranoid schizophrenic and developer of TempleOS. He used to go on angry rants about “glow in the dark CIA niggers”, or glowies for short.

I only picked the two biggest things I could think of that require fossil fuels, but you’re right. Plastics are used for everything because they are a wonder material. And so are fluorocarbons by the way, that’s why they’re also everywhere.

Thanks, looks interesting.

Increasing fuel prices would increase the cost of everything else too, lowering living standards globally. It would effectively be a flat tax for the whole humankind. I agree this would accelerate the green transition, but there’s currently no direct replacement for diesel/heavy fuel oil (which container ships, heavy trucks and tractors require) and natural gas. Well there is biodiesel but that requires turning fields from growing food to growing oil plants needed for the fuel. Current battery tech is still only satisfactory for personal transportation.

Regulating the companies would at least be better than just pulling the plug on fossil fuels (that would in the current situation basically stop the world and cause untold amounts of famine and misery).

This is a flawed take. The fossil firms sell because everyone wants to buy, and everyone wants to buy because the world is still absolutely dependent on fossil fuels. Stuff won’t move without diesel and most of the calories humankind grows needs nitrogen from the Haber-Bosch process.

How can a country be in such a hysteria over egg prices? Don’t they have anything to eat but eggs?

Why on earth are you eating kratom at work?

It’s a pretty amazing racket. Maybe the long term value for the scouts is to learn not to blindly agree to bad business arrangements.

On a personal level I would be pissed if had saved money for decades and had to piss it away by blowing up orcs because the fucks can’t stay in Mordor.

How? Even though Lemmy has lots of commies, it has nothing inherently to do with communism.

Oven cleaner, plastic bag and wait overnight. Repeat if necessary.

Eight weiners Jeremy, eight? That’s insane.

Does the CPU thermally throttle without a fan in your case?

Wow, that’s way worse than I imagined. No wonder people watch illegal streams!
