  • I could repost this every day for the next three and a half years and it would still hold true

  • You forgot the part where the USA has been loudly proclaiming itself "the land of the free" or "the leader of the free world" for the last 60 years. Most Europeans know about the flaws of their countries, that's why you don't see them shoving their flag everywhere. The USA has been terrible to other countries and their own citizens for decades while touting "freedom" and "American dream". Now that the lie has been exposed you feel hurt, but don't blame Europe, Canada or Australia: do something to improve you country.

  • I keep reading this complaint every time FairPhone releases a new model, and it's nonsense. The millions of people who didn't buy a FairPhone 5 in the last 2 years are not going to buy a 2 year old model when they need a new phone in 2 months.

    You bought a FairPhone 5 or 4 in the last 4 years? Keep it and don't buy a FairPhone 6, you don't need it.

    You didn't buy a FairPhone and your current phone is dying? Then you have a modern FairPhone and don't need to decide between a FairPhone with old specs or an up-to-date phone that is not repairable.

    Putin facing new 'invasion' as 1m-strong antelope swarm destroys Russia's crops

    Jump

  • I would understand that "swarm" here is used as a noun, destroy is the verb. The verb uses the third-person singular form (destroys) therefore the subject can't be "1 million antelopes" (plural), but should be singular, like "one swarm of antelopes".

  • Absolutely! Take care of your earth! But you don't need to fine people for a loitering crime they haven't committed. Not all bottles have Pfand in Germany: soft drinks? Yes, juice? No, beer? Yes, wine? No. It's a hypocritical bullshit system.

  • Rulecycling

    Jump

  • No, it's not: it's a fine you pay because it's assumed you'll litter some bottles: not all bottles have Pfand, which is nonsense: soda yes, juice not.

    And the number of bottles lying around? Germans come back from Spain praising how clean the streets are and Spain has no Pfand system. That's just not true.

  • Nah. Fuck the Pfand system. I don't like being fined for a crime I haven't committed (not recycling the bottle) with the excuse of "you'll get your fine back when you return the bottle"

  • Rulecycling

    Jump

  • Nah, in Germany you're not paid for cleaning anything. You aren't getting any money: you are fined 25 cents (for some glass bottles it's 15, for some 8) when you buy the drink in case you don't recycle. You might get that money back if you bring the bottle back to the supermarket, they accept it, and the return machine is working at the time. It's a scam.

  • The country overnight decided...

    Your country was changing...

    you do realise you're on the World Wide Web, right? Please stop acting like there's only one country in the world, and that's the omnipotent, wonderful USA. That's what the message you're replying to refers to: 9/11 was important for the USA, but the world is much bigger.

  • Good to know, thanks. I'm fairly new to Linux and reading that this or that distro is based in Ubuntu always makes me wonder how much they share (and why they don't base those distros on Debian, being the mother of Ubuntu)

  • Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu. Wouldn't it be better to go for one of the distributions everything else is based on? Debian or Fedora?
