Synthetics are terrible anyway

Christ, you'd think

Oh you sweet summer child

Realizing the US Army is the most socialist institution I've ever encountered didn't happen till years after I was out, lol

You want school? Get it! You want food? Get it! You want clothes? You already fucking got em

This is exactly what I would want a compulsory service to look like.

Fuck the military, let's build bridges and houses and schools, and cafeterias, and farms, and staff them. Roads and hospitals.

Nobody ever needed to make a fucking bomb

Maybe, but look at the pinephone (also all linux users should be banned from ever naming anything, ever)

I want one. It has so many features I fucking love.

I'm way too computer stupid to make it work

Went on a spontaneous trip very recently.

Spent a little more money than I'm comfy with.

Truck sprung some issues.

Saw some things I would never have seen otherwise. Some beautiful things, creatures, happenings, and places.

I'll fix the damn truck. Make the money back (or so)

Is it risk, or are you just being a pussy? Yeah, the human world sucks, but you don't need all the garbage they sell you, and there's worthwhile experiences you won't get with your nose stuck down to the grindstone.

I bet you risk your life, limbs, and liberty every single day driving into work.

I've had multiple friends die driving. They never thought THAT was a risk.

Go somewhere you don't plan to. It aint gonna last forever

National currencies ARE fiat currencies.

Like the Chinese have been fixing the value of their currency to the dollar, and the federal reserve does exactly that thing where they inflate it at will. Or keep it at zero, and the rest of the corporations inflate it nowadays. Whichever.

Either way, it's a scam. And I'm not saying the gold standard was a great idea either. It worked at the time, i guess? I don't know, I wasn't there. This fiat currency situation seems possibly workable, but I haven't seen it doing so. At least not for anyone who isn't already in the club.

The value of money is all made up bullshit anyway, can we at least get some healthcare out of it? Maybe some roofs? Food?

I like my friends not starving or freezing to death.

Ah, typical human problems that disrupt regular power generation is somehow specific to solar?

Nah, wars and climate change fuck with the grid already, just ask texas. Or north carolina. Or palestine.

And panel degradation is wildly over exaggerated.

My old as fuck mono crystalline panels (I have owned for ten years, and they were outdated when I got them) still kick literally 99% of their sticker rated juice. Even when dirty. They're dirty right now. I'm not bothering to clean them, cuz they still kick every volt they say they will.

They also literally produce all of the electricity my entire household needs.

SOLAR IS BETTER THAN YOU ARE WILLING TO ADMIT

And yeah, I probably pwned your ass at fortnite or rocket league or something

On solar power

Bitch

My battery powered router is smarter than your bullshit

Hi! Made an account over on some other lemmy server, and apparently the guy running it was old, had health problems, and (rightly so) stopped giving two shits about an internet forum.

Reddit sucks enough I've tried again. It's going okay. I don't give enough of a shit to really figure how the whole lemmy/fediverse works, but at least it aint corpo garbage

Imagine, if you will, a world where things weren't shitty for the sake of being shitty.

Where perhaps, good things could just be good.

I mean, yeah I am. I don't trust a shop to do it

Ah yes, thousands and of other products built to be as or more disposable than the first element that blew.

Why do the boats keep coming, filled to the brim with garbage you never actually needed?

When I'm camping I take a memory foam mattress topped with a sheepskin.

Which is what we were sleeping on during that story.

Which is approximately 10,000% more comfortable than any cot I've ever used

This must be on modern monstrosities, I've literally never encountered this.

The newest vehicle I've ever had was a 95, and I am entirely unimpressed with anything made before 93

Are you stupid?

The vast majority of people living in Florida, didn't build a fucking house there.

Most of the people living there, can't afford a house.

Like yeah, fuck the vacationers, they're probably the reason we're reading an article about house insurance. But the people who were born there with all their family and friends there, what the fuck are they supposed to do

I'm never using biometrics on any device. Fuck that

Oh the hell it will.

We could have a functional colony on the moon and mars if NASA got a quarter of the military budget.

Maybe, just maybe, we stop spending billions to kill brown people for no good reason, and spend a tiny fucking fraction of that to make our own part of the world Less of a shithole, instead of more

You know, not everyone living in Florida has a beachfront vacation home, right?

Not everyone living there chose to live there either.

Did you know people can be born places? With family? That aren't rich?

Eh, I'll say it.

National currencies are a scam. No pyramid needes
