Showerthoughts @lemmy.world

The solar industry is full of parasites because it's easy to sell solar to uneducated customers

  • To counter everyone saying "they do," could you be referring to more high-profile cases?

    Trump was shot at, but not killed. Would've made history if he was.

    The US doesn't have political assassinations on the level of say, Mexico, but they are frequent enough for someone to be able to point to them still happening. Usually it's about some congressperson that we've never heard of.

    I'm not sure if there's greater protection based on the popularity of politicians. It would make sense if someone like AOC gets more protection than, well, someone we haven't heard of.

  • It's up to you whether or not it's important. I see your point on whether or not it's possible, and I'm inclined to agree with you.

    I'm glad that pretty much all of the artists I enjoy didn't do anything like drug and rape women or come out in favor of oppressive nonsense (as far as we know.)

    It doesn't surprise me that the businessmen posing as artists routinely end up being pieces of shit. It's always good for a laugh when the morons who liked their art find out for themselves.

  • I dunno about brita specifically, but my walmart water filter has served me well throughout the years.

    Back when I moved in to a friend's house and started drinking his tap water, I would get sick all the time. I knew it was the water, I could feel it. Every time I drank it, it tasted weird, metallic, and I could tell I was poisoning myself.

    Ever since I started filtering it, I stopped getting sick. Haven't looked back and have been drinking walmart-filtered tap water ever since.

    Haven't been sick in years, either.

  • It's really just preference.

    What you really should be looking for are "circumaural" headphones. These are headphones that cover your entire ear.

    Whether you get open-back or closed-back is entirely up to you. Don't let anyone convince you that one is strictly superior to the other.

    They both have their benefits and detriments.

  • I genuinely think that a lot of these people's brains are to small to comprehend what's going on in these transactions.

    There are so many socially awkward losers that end up believing the women they're giving money to actually care about them, so they keep doing it.

    It's sad and pathetic, but as long as it's legal these people will be taken advantage of accordingly.

  • I honestly think it'll be pretty funny if the first world destroys itself from the inside out and everyone else that had to support it has no idea what happened, but they still move in to take their place.

  • Black Lives Matter is a fine name for what it supports.

    I didn't study the etymology of feminism, but in practice it has always resulted in fighting for women's rights while ignoring or paying lip-service to men's rights.

    There's no feminist platform that advocates for removing men from the draft or including women in it, for example. I don't believe that the differences between men and women, especially today, are great enough to give any preference to one sex over the other. Most of us are suffering because we are poor.

    From my experience, feminists will say feminism is about equality to fool people who don't know any better into supporting a cause that is practically about female superiority. They believe it's woman's turn to be the oppressors and to them that is 'fair.'

    This is exemplified by how it's socially acceptable (even encouraged) to make disparaging comments about men, but making similar comments about women will get you ostracized. You can't say you're for equality of the sexes if you laugh when somebody says "I hate all men" but get angry if someone else says "I hate all women." Neither is acceptable, but feminists will disagree.

  • I'll accept that feminism is about furthering the rights of women.

    It's not about equality, though, which is why we never hear feminists complaining about men in the draft or a lack of female representation in sanitation services.

    It's also a terrible word to use if it is about equality because it clearly favors one group over others. If you want to support equality, you should use a different word.
