Living the lifestyle ethically is more work then being monogamous with someone.
But if its what everyone wants who am I to say no? I’ll do my best.

I dont prefer it but it lasts forever considering the coffee I watched steve1989 drink out of old MREs. I keep one jar as a backup.
UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.mlto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•i truly believe that there's an open war between Humanity vs. Advertisers and their allies.English37·2 months agoPeople are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you’re not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are The Advertisers and they are laughing at you.
You, however, are forbidden to touch them. Trademarks, intellectual property rights and copyright law mean advertisers can say what they like wherever they like with total impunity.
Fuck that. Any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It’s yours to take, re-arrange and re-use. You can do whatever you like with it. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head.
You owe the companies nothing. Less than nothing, you especially don’t owe them any courtesy. They owe you. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don’t even start asking for theirs.

You can use matrix and still keep in touch with the lazy people. Having a place for people to go when they eventually get fed up will help a ton.
UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.mlto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The situation got so bad that actual news overtook memes in top posts on LemmyEnglish2·4 months agoScreaming “vote for my preference or else” every election is what got trump elected twice.
The First Past The Post (FPTP) voting system has squashed competition in our elections, resulting in both major political parties being filled with weak individuals. Our people are unrepresented by FPTP voting, thus the large non voter block. Things don’t have to be this way.
States have control over their voting methods, meaning we don’t need to wait a federal miracle. We can change how we vote and make room for third parties without risking a spoiler effect.
Alaska has already taken this step. In fact, Alaska has recently held a referendum on whether to go switch from Ranked Choice Voting back to FPTP, and the referendum was rejected. Republicans were frustrated when Sarah Palin lost to a more moderate conservative under Ranked Choice Voting, but the people of Alaska made their choice—they don’t want FPTP any more. Meanwhile, states controlled by Republicans are passing laws to safeguard FPTP.
So why are Democratic states continuing to use the voting system that Republicans favor? And why are Democrats turning down the potential for more votes from increased voter participation?
