Of course. It wasn't meant to be taken literal. It's a comment about the clickbait nature of the video.

Holy fucking shit... seriously? "I made a mistake.... I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT MORE OF THOSE LAPTOPS!!1 lmao"

That's ridiculous. I don't know why people waste each others time so much. I immediately closed the window.

Why do you think so? With a cargo bike, the weight is always to be moved whenever you lean to the sides. The bike itself weighs more because you have to create the structure that holds the cargo on a longer bike: higher weight and longer lever (technically speaking) means you have to make everything two times stronger, not just one time stronger.

Also, a trailer gives you the possibility to get through narrow edges better, because it can move. With a cargo bike, you have one long non-bending bike. Also, you can disconnect the trailer and use your hands to get the trailer to the offloading site, be it indoors or somewhere else, where bikes might not reach that easily.

I seriously only see benefits. I've yet to read from someone to show benefits of cargo bikes. I've had this discussion quite a few times, but that never happened.

I personally don't really understand the hype for cargo bikes. Sounds to me like something that can be sold because it's a novelty. A regular bike with good (!) bags can carry quite a lot, and a bike with a trailer even more. And it is modular, meaning that you can just disconnect the trailer or the bags, and you have a regular bike that weighs way less. Also, with a trailer, you don't have to balance the weight, and they can have additional brakes.

I just don't see the benefit of cargo bikes over bikes with modular equipment.

Happens here as well.

They can't help themselves from inventing ever more things that are now Putins fault.

One could consider to stop drinking coffee. Coffee itself has a rather large environmental impact as it is. Or drink it without milk-like substances.

It’s just imaginary internet points, relax.

Honest question: Then why are we having these points? If they are of no actual use, and nobody should care about them, why are they implemented? For what reason?

Yeah. What about Asssange for example?

If you think not using deo is "revolting", then that's exactly the problem. But, it is as you say, lets stop talking about this. We won't find common ground here. It's all wrong, and there are no opinions about this. Of course.

Dude. Are you seriously suggesting that people can't be fine with farts or something?

I never thought that people THIS square would be found on Lemmy.

I give up. You are simply waaaaay to ingrained with trodden paths to be able to look left or right. You only know forwards, and any deviation feels like an insult to you. I don't have a problem with every form of conservatism, but the one that can't explain itself and simply does things because they were "always" done is dangerous.

I know that you are sure that you're progressive and shit, but you're not. You are hung up in old ways that you don't question, and hate on those who do.

By the way, I have a buddy who doesn't use deo. It's okay for me. It stinks a bit when he comes, but I forget about after a few moments, and from then on it's okay. He asked once if it is okay for me, and I replied that it is, and that I think it is cool that he does what he wants despite social pressure.

And you're suggesting that this is wrong?

one’s offensive smell is a massive barrier to employment

Of course. I know. Everybody knows. I'm simply suggesting that something being a fact isn't making it okay or good.

I really don’t understand people like you.

What kind of person do you think I am?

Are you doing everything that will better your chances at getting a job or a date?

That's a problematic workaround only possible with the "advanced view".

I started to use Mastodon recently. I'm sorry if I sound grumpy, but... that's a hell of an awful user interface. Basic features seem to be missing. I wanted to collect some topics I'm interested in... and you can't do that. You have to type in the hashtag of your interest every single time. You can't mix multiple hashtags for an overview. Simply put: You can't follow hashtags. That's a feature that is discussion since more than 5 years. I honestly don't get it.
