Just use schwalbe marathon. They are puncture proof and last forever. I once got home and picked a shard of glass as king as my fingernail out of one.
Oh like a security for further borrowing? Could be.
Any update on this?
I couldn’t find any comment from the devs. Was there one?
There is an extra problem, not mentioned here. When there are subs with the same name, it is actually impossible to know of choose which sub I am posting to. Like here.
How do you mean “a powerful tool”? Tool for what?
The argument is mostly valid. But the real point is that capital gains tax needs to change. That would solve the stated problem, without reducing home ownership.
As a result, a majority of the population is literally invested in seeing the value of homes always go up.
This is actually not true. In general, ome owners do not benefit from global house price increases.
This seems like the right approach. You can get different answers depending on which measure you use
You could compare
1.Willful killings in total
willful killings per year
willful killings during the 1920s-40s
willful killings during Churchill’s regime versus Hitler’s regime.
I guess the UK will have higher numbers by every measure except 1. The figures should be easy to find.
here?
most of those behind were for being “reactionary” or “not an answer”. sounds more like general censorship of ideas and opinions. there was even a post banned for “bad faith arguments, downplaying severity of western settler-colonialism, and both sidesing Ukraine conflict”.
the mod logs interesting. but i don’t see anything relevant. or maybe i don’t see how it is relevant.
is there any evidence that this actually happens, or would happen?
all i ever see is humans being blocked or frustrated by the bot. i have never seen any kind of malicious spamming that could have been prevented by such a bot. spammers are normally thwarted by human mods.
the bot seems obsolete.
The lemmy devs and users are rigidly against hate speech / free speech. they are afraid it will push away many users who are more sensitive, and ruin the quality of discussion. they don’t tolerate free speech instances.
but who knows, they might be right.
This is exactly what happens. The highest quality land in a country is used for tillage. The less productive parts are used for grazing. This is how farmers make the most money. They’d be fools to use productive land for grazing and grow crops on poor land.
greenhouse gases and water usage are different issues i didn’t address here.
the usa is one of the “few parts of the world” i was talking about, that it is a bad example of sustainable farming.
yes lots of people cant understand that others can have other ideas about the world. in fact the historical norm for humans is for everyone in the same community to believe the same thing. this time of ideological diversity we live in is anomylous.
of someone says “i believe the earth is flat” most people will not accept that immediately. it’s triggering.
people are triggered by alien ideas. it’s not bad. it’s just being human.
or at a stretch or could be an argument against beef. but the question was about meat generally.
what kind of erosion?
are you thinking of “overgrazing”?
depends on the land. normally livestock are put on land which won’t grow anything else.
that’s true in a few parts of the world. it may not be valid at all, depending where op is from. in general livestock is the most sustainable land use food.
people have lots of different reasons. some don’t like the idea of killing a big animal with feelings and expressiveness. some because of how farms abuse or torture animals in some countries. some think Anibal farming is worse for the environment. some have religious prohibitions. some think it’s bad for your health. some people don’t like the taste or can’t afford it but don’t want people to think they are weird so they tell people they have a principled argument for it.
In general we are open for constructive feedback
My one big fear right now is that a mod could delete my words, and they would be lost forever.
Sometimes I write long essays here. They are ideas that I think are important and original. I write them so people will be able to read them many years into the future.
It’s important that anything deleted by a mod or an admin can be saved by the creator afterwards.
I’d argue it’s necessary that nothing can ever be fully deleted, if you want people to ever write anything important here.
That’s why historically most of the most important world-change essays were written to newspapers. Once a newspaper is published, it is available forever. It can never be expunged.
Who says otherwise? Same people who say the UK won WW2?
The USSR put the first satellite and the first man in space. The USA was so embarrassed about losing the space race they made a huge effort to go to the moon, to save face. You could say they won the “moon race” if you like. But I don’t think anybody else was racing.
It is useful to have lots of stupid laws. It makes people feel powerless and frustrated. It means the police can always find excuses to persecute you.
The technicalities of the individual laws are not important. It’s the psychological effect of the whole body of laws on a people.
