Holy crap what country do you live in? /s

Can use a website like idealo to search multiple stores at once. I just wish they had a filter to block amazon results.

I saw this the other day, in north Germany

Since they apparently have the same volume, could one of you be a hero and steal one of each and weigh them?

Same with Arabic when Alexander became Skender and Alzheimer's became zheimers.

"Cops search for hero to give him cash reward"

"Anonymous karma donor refuses to reveal himself"

"Colossal POS whacked, nobody sad, cash reward less than what the guy wiped his ass with, America united"

In a hyper-individuelistic society where everyone is constantly being compared and judged, the feeling that you're better than everyone else brings incredible relief. Of course the concept of being better than others is deeply flawed but you never learned to question these things. So how do you achieve the feeling? Study hard, lift others around you, save your money. Sure, but that takes years, and it's hard work. So what if you're inherently better than others-- that solves it. Race, language, gender, nationaliry.. All things that cost you no effort. There's another shortcut to these feelings. All you have to do to in order to become better than most of the population and get into to heaven is say that you believe the Bible. That's it. Just gotta say you believe it and you're in the club. Zero effort, all the dopamine. Supporting some sports team. Buying a particular car. Using what you buy to signal to others something about you. Bumper stickers, adding a ribbon to your profile picture, posting some cringe on LinkedIn, attention seeking on your birthday.. All attempts to showcase how excellent you are with minimal effort.

So if your entire sense of self worth is based on attributes about you which you were either born with or cost you no effort, you'll want to support anyone who places importance on those things. Nationality, consumerism, race, gender, religion, etc.

That's where you find the bisexual she/theys in hetero relationships.

This is correct. Everyone in the US calls a kcal a calorie. I learned to distinguish them with big "C" and little "c", but I've just looked it up and this is apparently not so common. I guess ppl who are aware of these things just go with the SI unit of kJ.

I don't think conservatives endorsing the "left" candidate is the good news you think it is.

Sure thing! Thanks for saying.

Do you think it's more cuz of drivers on their phones, pedestrians on their phone or equal parts both?

That one episode of Rick and Morty ruined all heist movies for me forever.

And where do you even go? Civic centers, bowling alleys etc are dead. Moderate churches are disappearing. Car centric everything means if you have a disability or not much money you're screwed.

That's a good point. We can start with what we control by not buying crap from them directly.

This list aligns pretty well with mine.. It's easier and more satisfying than you expect to boycott companies like amazon.

My brother in Christ, finding a different service isn't the difficultly. It's moving everyone else. Fb holds the keys to a network of literally billions of ppl, which for many is the only feasible way of keeping in contact with their loved ones. Yes if everyone just left the enshittificated network suddenly and all went to the same place.. but you need incentives, alternatives and coordination. "if everyone would just.." could solve a lot of problems, but we need to find realistic pathways to get there. Also your tone sucks, maybe open a window and let some fresh air in. I'll do the same.

It may not be fb's fault directly, but they hold the keys to an enormous resource which should be properly regulated. Telling op to just make the choice ignores the structural issue at hand. It's a bit like saying if you don't like all the problems of your country, just emigrate. That's everyone's choice, but it isn't practical as a general solution. Emigrating in a digital sense is far easier, but do we wait for these common goods to be enshittificated and reinvented or can we skip some suffering and seize control already.

Isn't that incredible? Turns out that connecting people to one another in this way fosters some healthy interaction for those who choose it but also amplifies loads of unhealthy bs. I'm one of those idiots who 15 years ago thought the internet and social media would bring about something of a second enlightenment, a golden area of progressivism, being well-informed, connected to one another in new and beautiful ways.

If it makes your day, here's an excellent mashup: https://youtu.be/MKXp17Udsjk?si=nJosSc9_vxwOodi9
