Well I mean, I am interested in knowing the things I ask. It’s not just politeness.

Vacations are expensive. I appreciate any first hand information on places that I might potentially go to.

I already have kids, so my interest is mainly in sharing my own experiences to anyone willing to listen.

It gets easier to ask relevant questions when you have some experience in those things.

Regarding vacations, I like to ask about the nature of sights in the area. I’m not interested in what food was in the buffet or how many pools were at the hotel, but I would like to know if the area has anything of interest.

For people having babies, I like to ask questions about how they’re going to handle it, just to check if they are on top of the situation or if they need help with anything.

Part of his staff is pushing him him to be on stage, while the other half is trying to keep him from saying anything. Trump himself would rather be golfing. This is what you get from a tired old man, and that’s how it’d work if he was in office too.

Yes. It’s down right scary to think about what the consequences of private ownership will mean.

In best case it will turn into a profitable business which means burning a shit ton of fuel in the atmosphere and leaving tons of garbage in orbit.

Yes it’s impressive that it’s possible, but is it less impressive if it means screwing up the option for others to launch anything in 50 years just because the richest man on earth right now wanted to earn more money.

It’s a small step for a large corporation, but it’s a large step backwards for humanity.

I’d rather see new technologies like the slingshot launches becoming successful than seeing SpaceX launching the same old dirty rockets over and over for profit.

Yes. Bicycle pedals for instance.

The odd left-threaded screws are called Linksgewinde in German. Knowing this, you can sort of figure the rest out.

If anyone actually wants the option to vote for 3rd parties, then a landslide victory for Harris is the best option in this election.

The Republicans are already torn. They stand together with the MAGA insanity hoping to get enough votes by including the crazyness. If the election clearly shows that it’s a losing strategy, they will have to regroup and the GOP will be split. Then when Democrats are clearly outnumbering the opposition, it will also be more tempting for radical left wing to branch out without risking the opposition winning.

When “both sides” are then fractioned into smaller groups, it will finally be possible to get a majority to vote for getting rid of the 1st past the post problem, and make it possible for 3rd parties to get any influence.

But the first step is to make sure the Republicans lose really hard. Voting 3rd party won’t do it in this election.

Don’t walk in the bike path.

4th. of July is celebrated in Rebild, which could be a nice excuse to drive through the country and meet other Americans in Denmark.

It’s a trick. There are no roads north out of Denmark.

“uu” ends on a down stroke. W ends on an upstroke, just like the difference between u and v.

Well, I’d rather have free ice cream.

WTF is this tactic? Throwing pearls at the swine?

All threads starting with “Why” and ending in a question mark, can be answered: “Money corrupts people”

It would be nice if they would stop pushing the update on computers that can’t run the update anyway.

Tbh the whole Darling family seemed a bit weird even back when they made those budget games.

Because it shows power to those that need to know.

As the top post says: Republicans denied it happening. They might as well have played a soccer ball to Putins feet even though they’re supposed to play on opposite sides, and then wondering why he kicked it back in their face.

They did that to show that they are in control. They can get whatever they want from a republican and spit in their face afterwards, because some idiots in the GOP are under their control.

The Russian mobsters like to remind people of their reach like that.

Its the same reason why they keep confirming people falling out of windows with two suicidal bullets to the head and such. It’s mobster whistles.

Reading the article, it says that both men and women attended the protest against rape culture in France, so the real issue is that France has a rape culture. People vs culture.

This comment section however is about a few of the signs that a few of the protesters carried, and/or the comments from the self proclaimed feminist representative who says they’ll use these protests to promote their own agenda. That’s different, because that’s a gender issue. Men vs. Women.

I understand why some people are annoyed by that, because it splits the people instead of uniting them against the primary enemy: The culture.

Anyway this is just a lemmy thread, and it doesn’t matter who is right, but it shows that even talking about it is a distraction from the “real issue”, because while we are discussing signs and rape statistics, nobody is talking about the rape culture.

I don’t know exactly what the feminist representative wants to do, or if she has a point, but I do believe that we need to be able to unite both men and women to speak freely against the culture, because rape culture is enabled by people who don’t speak about it. Alienating half of them is bad timing in that regard. To stop rape culture we need both men and women to speak against it.

I hope this makes sense. This thread has gone completely off the rails…

Whatever you answer to a question like that is going to be attacked. The best way is not to answer, but reply with a different question, for instance “what are you afraid of?”

But 100 clothespins. Glue them to the back of your closet door.

Edit: example

They don’t even need “they/them” when they have ranks.

The stove top kettle might get a comeback since modern induction stoves are faster than an electric kettle. I’m about to get one and look forward to having one less appliance on the table.
