I’ve had 20€ kettles that work for years and and 20€ kettle that break once the warranty is over. Cheap electronics are a gamble. So is expensive ones, but I feel that with those you can at least try to find a trusted brand.

I think You hit a nail on it’s head saying " This post is basically saying anyone who doesn’t consume - buying bigger houses and a meat and eggs breakfast - is a victim, which is just stupid". I agree.

I’m not shitting on suburbs. I don’t like them though. And I don’t just say “people should live in a way they enjoy”. If you would avoid twisting the words and reading until the end You would notice a whole sentence saying: “And One should be able to enjoy his mega mansion and his huge truck if he wants to too, providing it is done in environmentally safe way and all the taxes (and I mean appropriately and proportionally calculated taxes) are paid”. If, by any chance, you are still reading, let me say that we are free to define the system of living in any way we want. And If you can find a way to do what you like in a way that is safe, constructive and not infringing on our planet and society - go for it!

Well not really, but I get what you mean! As one German guy wrote long ago - it is always a class struggle. And I’m writing this as a person who knows how shit the communism was. No matter the system, there will always be someone who exploits it and someone trying and being in charge. Even in Anarchism, everyone then tries to be in charge, even if just over themselves.

At that point - why don’t just live in a motor home.

I think You can have a huge house if You build it smart. Like 100 m long earth ship or something like that. I was a bit iffy about trucks though wen I wrote this, so I know what you mean. But if you scale back to normal not Murican size car/truck and go hydrogen or electric, it is still bad, but better than I can realistically hope for with current trends. I agree with your opinion about jobs. I feel that big corporations are allowed too much free space to do what they want. I love to see innovation that big resources can bring, but it is always being overshadowed by their exploitation and lobbying in self interest. There is not enough control and they always end up exploiting their position.

Well tough balls. If You wanted to have a person back sooner, they should have recalled them sooner. Seems like a mess of a scheduling and I’m not informed enough to make any conclusions. All I can say I have travelled in cargo ships, and I loved it!

I think this is very toxic post. I live in apartment in a size of tiny house, and I have no wish to move to suburbs and slave away my life in traffic jams. People should live in a way that they enjoy. Comparing is just a dick measuring contest. And One should be able to enjoy his mega mansion and his huge truck if he wants to too, providing it is done in environmentally safe way and all the taxes (and I mean appropriately and proportionally calculated taxes) are paid

I feel that a lot of people are stuck in cheap furniture, because they either do not know better or just can’t afford anything better. Both of them good reasons to learn to do simple repairs. In any case it is good to not produce more waste!

Good luck with your project. It sounds a bit more intensive but I’m sure it’s doable!

Glad to be of use!

Best title I’ve read today. I had to read through the title at least 10 times to understand that they are saying that “library is popular with women” NOT that “someone is beating library with women”. Yes, English is not my first language…

Well it is not old internet anymore. It’s new generations and a lot more poeple here with lots more identies and wishes.

I bought for 20 last year on gog. Loved the game. Sank some 300+ hours in. Found some cool mods. Game is definitely not broken. Looking forwards to dlc!

Right?! Sometimes it’s good to chill and not to try memorize all things you must do to activate something. I think there has to be a good balance on active v passive skills, and by balance I mean a good way to personalise it to your needs.
