The pricing is preposterous…no option to forego the windows license, and only a 12th gen i7 and 16gb ram for $1400…on plastic with a shitty keyboard and no IO? Why not just buy a macbook air at that point and jail break it?

Lenovo is absolutely stomping Dell right.

Old or new taliban?

Very appropriate metaphors — Hamas tying people to the tracks is really surprisingly on the nose.

Preaching to the choir here.

What percentage of the us population do you think is vegetarian?

Jesus fucking you ARE THE PROBLEM.

It’s not “no point in opposing polution because china would”

It’s literally the same people and they are providing a service that YOU consume (whatever form lf food you eat, any shit you buy off amazon, the car you drive, the phone you use, etc…) all you have said is “it’s fine if you pollute as long as you do not do it in front of me” “it’s fine if you torture animals if it’s not in front of me”

It’s more the fact that this movement spends all its energy shutting down Fois Gras and Angora and has had ZERO impact on the wholesale slaughter of sentient beings across the meat industry except to shift a growing portion from farms in the US and Europe where there are some meager standards to farms in asia that have zero scruples and will torture without reserve to make an extra juan.

Fucking useless caricature of activism. All your outrage would be more effectively spent on literally anything else.

People who advocate against animal cruelty are a special kind of stupid. Totally destructive of any (fundamentally not so bad) businesses that give time the time of day, and utterly ineffective at actually meaningfully changing the mass cruelty of the meat industry. Absolutely catastrophic virtue signaling. PETA “shelters” have a higher kill (euthanasia) rate than any other organization.

Ah, but a short glance at my comment history will reveal that that is not how i like to enjoy Lemmy…

Spoke to some EU lawyers recently at a policy meetup and this is pretty consistent with their prevailing sensibilities: target and dilute power that is being held over consumers.

Shit like this is why people will leave reddit and never come back.
