Right. Two minutes is nothing. I live in Florida my water bill for 4 people is $50. Water conservation is the very very least of my worries.
Maybe if there was a way for me to send my hypothetically unused water over to Cali I’d care more, but.

I maintain that it’s pretty simple, actually. Humans are animals, just like any other. That comes with irrationality baked in. We think we’re so much better than, say, orangutans, but are we really? I’m not impressed. I often think about how we would behave if we didn’t have language or opposable thumbs. I realized one day that all we have to do is observe traffic.
Okay so here we are speculating about this, but there’s data on this isn’t there? Is it not the case that countries who tax tobacco more have all but eliminated it? I’m not well versed on the subject, but I think it’s a bit silly to just pull this out of your ass as if it were fact. Here’s a link to an ncbi article that talks about it. I’m sure there’s plenty more out there to show one way or the other, so I’m interested to know whether you have anything to back up your stance.
People don’t know what words mean anymore. Everything is hyperbole
I’ve heard two theories for this that I think are plausible:
A feeling of familiarity even though this is a brand new situation. Your brain is always trying to determine the best course of action from experiences where you’ve encountered that problem before. Sometimes we have a false positive where the situation is so similar you “remember it”, but it’s obviously slightly different and new.
Essentially a memory read/write error. Your brain is recollecting as it’s consolidating the memory causing wonkiness (technical term) in your experience. You think you remember, but what you’re remembering is actually the present experience.
I still say “bless you”
RIP Sync for Reddit.
– Sent from Sync for Lemmy
That may also just be a resources issue. Too many tickets, not enough reps, and the expectation of low average handle time are not exactly conducive to encouraging those deeper dives.
Insta buy indeed lol. Probably double paid to remove ads and get ultra but that’s alright, it’s for a good cause and LJ deserves it.
Yep! My sentiments exactly. My favorite app is back and I couldn’t be more thankful. Sync was that missing puzzle piece that has completed the Lemmy experience for me. The rest is just gonna be gravy now!
Lemmying from Sync right now and it brings a tear to my eye. I don’t think anything other than Sync would have made Lemmy feel “right” to me. And now it does.
Same here, I’m so excited!
I’m more than happy to pay for a service I enjoy so I legitimately cannot wait to give him my money.
Here’s to new beginnings in the Fediverse!
Or maybe proper care for a kid really does cost $20k a year and half the population could not care for one without assistance or a partner to help cover those costs.
Plenty of children go without in this country.
