I don't see this as a dick move. The rules were clear from the start, they just started enforcing theme. It's not a bait and switch or something.

Yeah, but just a reason to re-evaluate if the content they have is worth the money. It's not like they have some moral obligation to keep the prices low. I don't see it as a dick move. I don't have any other video streaming subscriptions so it wasn't a big difference for me.

Why? What did they do before?

Yep, I guess it's time to cancel Netflix.

When your founding narrative is the violence is the answer to problems, you continue to govern that way. When it is that peaceful negotiations that achieved independence, you continue to govern that way.

I was wondering what's the principal reason is that USA is so fucked up today. Clearly the main issue there is that they think USA is the best country in the world. This isolates them from the rest of the world, stops them from leaning from other countries, makes them unable to recognize their own faults and prevents them from ever improving their system. So economically the country is doing fine but the society is (and always has been) completely dysfunctional. But why? It clearly started with the revolution and myth that it was such a heroic fight for freedom but why were the American colonizers so susceptible to those lies? Why Canadians or Australians didn't fall for it?

Ashamed of your history? Don't worry, just whitewash it and pretend the ugly parts didn't happen. Now you can be proud again! Hurray!

Maybe it's because majority of people think that NFTs are a joke and don't agree that there are any benefits to this? Maybe they don't want to engage in a discussion because they already heard all the arguments and still think it's BS? I don't know, I'm just guessing.

Because addiction.

Ok, so I've checked. If you want to get 100 kcal from food, for beef it would be 4kg of CO2, for chicken 400g of CO2, rice 400g of CO2. potatoes 50g of CO2.

To charge a Roomba in US you need 800g of CO2, in Spain 400g, in France 160g, in Australia 1kg, in Poland 1.2kg.

So as you see, it really depends on what you eat and where you live. In extreme cases yes, just don't move and let robots do everything, it will produce less CO2. If you live in Poland, broom your apartment, eat one potato more and you're saving shitload of CO2.

Carbon footprint of a roomba is around 400kg of CO2. Again, in extreme cases it's possible to offset that during it's lifetime.In some cases you're not offsetting it at all or it will take more than roomba will last. In other cases you're just adding to it.

Please, stop spreading Catalan propaganda. You're clearly ignorant about this subject. Spain is divided into Autonomous Communities. Each region has a lot of autonomy, exactly like in USA. Catalonia has even more autonomy than other regions. They have their own police force, healthcare system and parliament. The only things managed by central government are the ones they can't be trusted with like taxes. It's been proven that Catalan government defrauded a lot of money to pay for the illegal independence movement, clearly they are not fit to collect taxes. What they want now is full independence so that they can steal even more money without any oversight. Catalan parliament voted and passed a law declaring full independence (which was later declared null by the courts). To say now that they don't want to part with Spain is simply a lie. That's exactly what they tried to do.

The don't pay to keep the lights on, that's another lie. 90% of their production is sold in Spain. They make money because the rest of Spain is a good market that buys their products. Without Spain they would not be able to sell their products and grow their economy. This is basic economy, really. To imply that they are the only ones working and they somehow support the rest of poor Spain is simply disgusting. Please, educate yourself before writing about this subject and spreading lies.

Reducing intake by 100kcal by changing volume while maintaining composition is always going to be carbon wasteful. Do we agree on this?

Yes but I think it will be difficult to calculate and will still depend on the exact thing you're eating. I think at this point you're focusing on psychics while ignoring all the practical aspects of the issue.

Yes, we can agree that brooming daily for years while eating exactly the same things will over many years result in reduced weight which for some individuals might be problematic and result in increase of the volume of food consumed and increased carbon footprint.

Is the increase in carbon footprint greater than the energy used by roomba? Depends on the energy source and food source. It's possible that in some specific scenarios the extra food consumed will have bigger carbon footprint than energy used by roomba. Is it greater than the carbon footprint of manufacturing a roomba? Definitely not.

Your arguments are getting so specific that soon we will conclude that any physical activity is bad for the environment and we should just lay down as much as possible and avoid any excess movements.

Yeah, but they are free and you're not /s

But dead dead or mushroom zombie dead?

Relax people, of course it's fake. It's a joke.

Rice, pisto from mercadona and fried egg.

If by 'contributed to the movement' you mean 'Catalans are using their strong economy as an excuse to disrupt Span's internal politics and demand more money and privileges for themselves to the detriment of the entire country' then yes, you're right. Not sure how that does make it any better.

Also, it's not their matter. It's Spanish matter.

Well, they don't want the debt. They just want all the infrastructure and independence. What should we tell them?

Some. They have big chemical industry so a lot of cleaning products and cosmetics come from there. But it's always easy to find substitutes. Also because of their criminal behavior a lot of companies moved to other regions so it's even easier to avoid them now.

They can leave it they are willing to pay for the national infrastructure build there and take their fair share of national dept. Now take this offer to Catalans and see what they will say.

Well, you know wrong and your 'arguments' don't make any sense. Every country has a region that's an 'economic powerhouse'. Do you believe each of those regions should become independent? You know why Catalonia is an economic powerhouse? Same reason as regions in other countries:

• geography: this region is simply conveniently located to build industry there, has proper resources and good climate
• politics: Spanish government purposefully moved a lot of industry from other regions to Catalonia. They didn't simply build it, it was uprooted from other regions and moved there
• migration: a lot of hardworking people migrated there after industry was moved and worked to build strong companies there
• strong internal market: Catalonia is selling it's products to Spain. Without a strong market in the rest of Spain they would not be able build their economy. Until Spain joined EU they would face tariffs and would have difficulties exporting.
• investment: central government invested a lot of money to build roads, railways, port and airports in Catalonia.

Obviously there are other regions that could be an 'economic powerhouses' of Spain. Without Catalonia Spain would simply invest in other regions and consolidated industry there. The idea that Catalonia grew in a vacuum and built it's economy independently from Spain to later be invaded and exploited is simply a lie. It's a integral region of Spain that have seen a lot of investment. Investment made by Spain with the cost of big national debt that Catalonia want's to avoid paying now. That's what it comes down to: Catalonia want's to take the money and run away.

Now to you 'cultural and ethnological' reasons. Historically (until 1990') only bout 20% of Catalans considered themselves different country and wanted independence. That's because till 1990' the independence movement was based on cultural and ethnological values. It didn't really worked, 80% of Catalans still felt they are Spanish. In 1990 Catalan leaders started talking about money. Their arguments shifted to "we are the economic powerhouse, we should keep all our money" (sounds familiar?). Suddenly support for independence grew to around 50%. It's not because their culture changed, it's because people there understood that disrupting Spanish politics and fighting for independence will give them money. That's what it's all about. This rhetoric also ignores the fact that 50% of Catalans still consider themselves Spanish citizens and want to live in Spain. They are being actively discriminated by Catalan government and in case Catalonia becomes independent will entirely lose protection given them by Spain. Supporting Catalan independence gives Catalan green light to discriminated half of their population. Keep that in mind next time you will promote Catalan propaganda.
