Ok look advertising has clearly done a number on your brain because that is a fucking absurd amount of money to spend on a chair.

Like nothing in it is worth that much, you can get a very comfortable chair for 200 usd. You're not getting 1000 usd extra value from this, just think about how much money that is and what materials this is actually made of.

Things marketed to business are absurdly overpriced because spending someone else's money is easy, but you don't need a chair adaptable to any body shape and capable of taking 500 kg of load. you know what body shape you are, and you probably aren't that heavy. Features that sort of make sense in an office environment if you're high on your own farts are completely unnecessary at home.

This is about status, hence why OP literally leads with a brag about how much money they can afford to light on fire in this post.

Hell medical evidence suggests you don't even want too comfy of a chair because you should move around and engage your core muscles. Stuff like lumbar support is actively harmful to most people.

So get a nice chair sure but it's a chair, you shouldn't spend 12 weeks groceries on abs, mild steel, polyester, and maybe some polycarbonate. That's stupid.

Counterpoint: What if media was instead strong man directs violence at the right people thereby solving society's problems 🤔

God how I hate how fashy most superhero media is.

It could be skipped steps, a warped Z axis, lash in the axis. It doesn't look like ringing to me.

If your steppers run too hot or against too much resistance that'd be the first thing I'd check. As well as give the axes a bit of a yank and ensure it's all to the German spec.

Yay we're connected again.

Oh destroy property or whatever just don't be cruel to people :p

Even if that was true effectiveness is never acceptable justification for cruelty

Me approaching Foss developer with bug: Pardon me, if you could grace this lowly worm with but a moment of your attention; I with me a bug report, and I believe I have found the section of code responsible. This inadequate being lacks the technical expertise to fix it and would be eternally indebted if you would turn your monumental skills upon its trifling problems. It would please me immensely if my paltry efforts were of some assistance.

I think we should let people say what they mean themselves if we want to understand each other.

So firstly that is a non sequitur. Either we are talking about whether the sacrifice demanded is unethically steep or we are talking whether the initiative is ineffective.

Lets put that aside though, just making a note this is a separate point to explore.

I would first ask what you mean by voting quality. Could you explain?

Are you talking about feeling too tired to spend 20 minutes voting 3 times every 4 years or cutting out your own heart to give to someone?

Cause in the the latter case I agree and in the former I say buck up mate, we live in a society and that means doing stuff for people when we don't always feel like it.

Yeah we do have single member seats in the lower house though which is a completely broken system.

Most of Europe recognises that, our frienemies across the ditch recognise that.

Consensus seeking and coalitions are much more representative forms of government than single member winner takes all seats.

Hmm Aussie.zone is on 0.19.1 but I'm not seeing updates from them via this instance since the bug.

Any thoughts?

EDIT: is this the bug? https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/4330

You're cool and I like you.

Huh, must be sold out. Maybe panic over this ban?

luckily Elwood's has you covered if you're in the Americas https://www.elwooddogmeat.com/

In oceania I have to go hunt roaming pet cats to get something reasonable to eat.

Dude 1200 is too much to spend on a chair. I wouldn't brag about it.

Like idk maybe it's comfy or something but that's bespoke carpentry throne money.

That fucking name is reason not to buy it already.

It's not even claw, it's CLAW grrrrr fear me and my pocket Cheeto dust.

It reminds me of when yoyos (yep I'm that old) were trying to be like "this is the spinanator 6000 XL Xtreme fireball mushroom cloud"

Better than most but I couldn't find mention of anything that prevents them from complying with secret requests to begin data monitoring.

Potentially where they're based that's unconstitutional or something but I didn't see evidence of such.

how do they prove that they both don't and can't?
