1. Don't buy crap
2. Don't keep crap (recycle, don't trash them)
3. Stop wishing of buying more crap.

Any impression this incredibly wise list of advice could be based on personal experience (and on multiple failures at following them) would be correct. My life changed and the clutter vanished the day I stopped wanting to buy always more stuff and decided to only keep what was... worth keeping aka actually of any use/importance.

This is the contrary to good faith:

What’s considered good faith? The reactions I got - pure anti-Chinese racism?

You're new and act like you can decide who's the nice guy and who's not because you decided it? Listen and observe and maybe you will realize you're light-years out of touch, here?

No need to thank me, and just in case: no need to insult me either, unless it really (really?) helps make you feel better. I don't care about insults, why should I? Have a nice day (and don't waste all your hard earned money on silly ideas)

You're welcome ;)

Well, federations are a broad political system ranging from say, Switzerland (or even Germany) to much larger collections like the USA, the Federation of Russia, or the EU itself (which Germany is also part of). It can also be considered in variety of forms, say the UK is not officially a federation (not that I'm aware of at least) but it's also a collection of various and at time very diverging populations and countries/states/regions, not all of them subject of to the exact same exact laws.

I would say a... federation? ;)

No ads, no tracking, that's exclusive to Lemmy and I would like it for that alone.

People (aka, in Reddit language, 'content' or 'the stuff we write but they earn money with') are the same everywhere, I mean assholes and nice guys are not exclusive to any platform. There are just a lot less of us here than on Reddit. So, there is a lot less noise.

Plus we have decent filtering tools, so we can even have less noise ;)

Lemmy is tiny compared to Reddit and the niche communities I'm interested in are not very active but I don't care. I will keep posting here and not on Reddit as long as they won't change what I disagree with (which won't happen).

Not current US politics. Election happened 7 months ago.

I know, with TikTok brains becoming the norm 7 months ago may seems like veeeeery ancient history, but isn't Trump the current US president? Isn't his election the active presidential election? Trump is US politics, dude.

So, come on, if you want to troll try at least to put in some efforts.

rule 6, maybe?

I think it's what I said

My spouse and I have been together for almost 30 years and I see no sign of us parting ways anytime soon. We're both persuaded we've lasted that long because we were both ok with the fact that the other is not perfect or faultless.

I will let anyone decide for themselves what limits should be made in a couple, and I will keep ours to ourselves, but even crossing those limits it should always be ok to try to fix it provided both parties are doing it with the right mindset and a willingness to be/to act better.

That's what we both think and that's how we managed to get through quite a few... difficult times, but that doesn't make it an indisputable truth either. It's just our 2 cents ;)

People discussing their opinion is just that: people discussion their opinion. There is no rule, end of the story. No matter how well formalized said opinion may be.

Ulysse 31.

Say "Hi, nice to meet you" to the next Terminator and see how well it works for you?

First thing first: it's absolutely normal to feel anxious.

Maybe you could see him as you would see a stranger or, say, some remote uncle, come stay at home for a while? Don't have expectations because you don't know him? Like you said, you have little memories so take that as a starting point: your memories will be the ones you may start building together once he gets back home.

Let him come home and see how things unfold. Also, be ok with him being and feeling awkward too. And with having some... adjustments issues. It's a huge change for him, too. Plus he may have more memories when he arrives, that coudl also hinder your first attempts at being together. I can't imagine being in prison for so long won't have left some deep marks on him, too so be ok with him screwing up a little.

If I may ask, haven't your parents discussed him coming back with you already? If not, maybe it is something you may want to discuss with them openly?

Not knowing you or your parents and your brother, it's hard to be more specific I'm afraid.

All the time.

There is no such thing as a (modern) language that is not assembled from borrowing from other languages. So even speaking a single language, one may already be 'borrowing' from quite a few more. Add to that many of us will speak at least two languages (native + English), or more.

So yeah, like many, I borrow words and expressions from any of the languages I speak, even more so with those words and expressions I have a sweet spot for ;)

Yes of course the answer is stop eating fast food. Live in a cave, don’t reproduce, that is how we create the least waste. Im not suggesting that. Im saying it’s gross that these companies willingly waste so much when we don’t really need to.

• Not going to fast food does not mean to stop eating, hopefully for your health.
• Nor does it mean to stop reproducing... I don't now about you, but I seldom fuck in public places.
• And it does not mean living in a cave either unless one considers going to a fast-food the apex of a great night out? Which I don't... but I also don't consider a fast-food a restaurant at all.

that is how we create the least waste.

Wrong. We produce less waste by closely studying our habits and usages and figuring out ways to change them to produce less waste, not by expecting a corporation to do it for us because they will only change (but they will) the second their financial results fall because they insist on selling (shit food and) wrapping their consumers refuse to buy. Until then...

Meanwhile, I'll go back into my cave that's surrounded by wonderful places one can go eat in the streets nearby, places who serve some real food without any wrapping. Odd, I know but we also have that stupid giant metal tower around here, and those fancy museums, the entire world likes to visit. And we eat baguettes.

Have a nice day.

Edit: typos

Thx :)

Then again older peiple probably waste the most, but I’m just guessing.

You may be guessing wrong, then. That is coming from a 50+.

when eating at restaurants, wrappers, cups, drink carriers

Stop eating at fast-food, maybe?

My spouse and I have not been offered a straw, or a cup with a lid, packages or wrappers of any sort since we've quit going to fast-food (or joint selling any kind of industrially processed turd food), that was some 20 or 30 years ago.

We get served in a real plate, use real silverware (sorry, I don't know the English word to say 'fork, knife and spoon'), drink (no soda) in a real glass and have our coffee served in a real cup. LIke we woudl at home save the food is not cooked by us but is also fresh and not prepackaged (it helps to locate those restaurants that are real restaurants, not the many that are just microwaving prepackaged stuff)

“Together, we argue, these cases suggest that deliberate full extinction might occasionally be acceptable, but only extremely rarely,” the team states.

• Such humility.
• Too bad we're extinguishing many species already, as we're trying hard to destroy our very own ecosystem, without much consideration if it's not the stupidest thing we can ever do and maybe the last we will ever do? And since we're good at what we do, we're doing it at a scale and at a speed that is not leaving much hope to be able to change direction, and that won't leave much hope either to quite a few other living species we're dragging to their doom alongside with us. At least, we can rejoice knowing we will have reduced economic waste in livestock.

If I can't go out for a walk? My bookshelves, any public library, a (used) bookstore.
