I don't think anyone is asking for perfection just basic human decency, but I guess that's like asking for a thousand talking unicorns in politics.

I'm sure people that base their lives on pissing people off and shitting on others will be satisfied now... in c/[email protected]

This is how much sugar you are [possibly] eating. in c/[email protected]

Yes just a pinch, only if necessary. The second one says 'no sugar added' so it might as well be the sugars from all the ingredients.

This is good advice. And also carrots.

It's pretty common to add a bit of sugar to tomato sauce tho.

What is the argument for making poor/working class folks shoulder the burden of taxes? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Don't be fooled, taxes are just a way to extract the fruit of the poor folks' labor and give it to the rich and powerful. Always have been, since their inception. Not just in America, here in the (highly idealized by lemmy) EU I cost my company 3200€ a month, 1850€ go to my bank account and 1350€ to the government, plus up to a 21% vat from the things I purchase. Amazon pays literally 0€ in taxes.

What is your favorite inconsequential fan theory? in c/[email protected]

I always thought that about Jessica Fletcher. Too many people dying around that woman.

Light emitted farther than 46 billion light years away will never reach you. While traveling an infinite distance the universe expands faster, and light emitted not that far will get so red-shifted that it won't be visible anymore.

Is it true you work well under pressure? IS IT?! [Comiclicious] in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

As I said I never put it in my cv, because I know what it implies. In my country we have a similar thing with English proficiency, everyone would put 'mid level English' which actually means 'barely able to order at a restaurant while pointing to things with your finger'.

I mean I've never put it in my resume and I work better in a healthy environment, but under stressful and chaotic circumstances I perform much much better than most.

My secret: I'm always super anxious, you can throw all the chaos you want my way and it'll barely move the stress-o-meter needle a bit.

Abandon Harris endorses Green Party's Jill Stein in c/[email protected]

The only realistic option is to try and change the stance of one of the two that can win the election

How would you propose to do that while also offering said party an unconditional vote? I'm not American, but if you have an answer it would be useful here too. Parliamentary systems end up pretty much the same.
