I prefer promotion of humility and a lifestyle which puts the emphasis on values relationships, nature, personal time etc, for instance...

In August 2020 the Chinese government launched "Operation empty plate", a campaign to stop food and beverage waste and cultivate frugality.

However banning materialist fetishes will probably do more good than harm anyhow. Slippery slope though.

Because it depicts teenagers, yeah. It would have been fairer if it showed a dozen people with a more representative spread of ages. It would still skew young though.

I am Gen X, a computer scientist and often use my phone while walking.

Have often jumped on the wrong train because of my lack of attention. Not life threatening but results in extending my one hour journey by 30 minutes. But that kind of error did also happen occasionally pre-phone so at least now I have entertainment for that extra half hour :)

If it was sunny then why didn't your clothes dry? Why did you leave them overnight?

I find weather forecasts reliable.

In Sydney recently it was raining all week but two days of sunshine were forecast a WEEK in advance. Not that a one week forecast is usually right. All you need is 24 hours and that is very accurate.

That is why the comparison is with 2019. It wasn't a pandemic until 2020.

It is a privacy/security issue, not moral. A QR eatery will probably not accept cash either.

Get out of here with your pinko agenda. What are you, some kind of long haired, bleeding-heart, sharey fairy, hippie, Jew?

Behold: The supply-side Jesus.

Amazon also sell faked AI products if you search for (bizarrely)...

“goes against OpenAI use policy”

Try that string and see what happens.

IANAL But my understanding is that a contract cannot void basic rights.

You are describing r/Worldnews not other Reddit subs.

And Lemmy has been 50-50, with very little actual personal attacking.

False equivalence.

Russia bombed Kiev for the hell of it, not even pretending there was a military objective. Russia also is conscripting Ukrainians to fight against their fellow countrymen as cannon-fodder on the front line. It is kidnapping children into Russia.

Biden to Bibi: "don't make the same mistakes we made in 9/11. There's no reason why we had to be in a war in Afghanistan."
