This is only the case for cheaper models. There are models with inverters that actually run at lower power.

I am like original commenter, I gotta turn down the power because my microwave is a deadly lazer (1200 W)

Everytime there’s piss on the seat or the floor I just think: who the fuck are these people and do they do this in their own house?

Like, go use the urinal, why you gotta ruin the seat?

And if it’s an accident, at least wipe up after yourself!

This is great, meane she’s giving the game stakes too

Gentleman vs Gentleperson

Seems like a legit substitution to me

I like using “gentle people”.

Would the gentle person care for some more wine?

Works for all genders

So, along with continuing the genocide, hell, even advocating for it to be done quicker with Trump’s beach resort comments, the US is literally overtly more fascist now (instead of just an unjust capitalist hellscape).

This is what pisses me off about high horse moralising. The righteous are so concerned with being righteous, they would prefer do nothing to mitigate the worst, if it means getting their hands dirty and voting for people they also despise, even if they’re the better option to the worst option.

How exactly is having an despot in power going to help the leftist cause? They (not the democrats in large part, the people) are scrambling to react to Trump and the Republicans rapid fire undermining rule of law.

Sure, under the democrats it’s business as usual of capitalist exploitation, but at least you wouldn’t have the president literally directing federal officers to target cities with kidnappings as political reprisal.

I’m not advocating for voting for the democrats forever, but until you stand a reasonable chance of electing someone who will implement voting reform.

Am I advocating for voting against Bernie Sanders, even though he’s technically an independent, and not a Democrat? No. Am I advocating for voting for the democrats in a very safe seat? No.

But Christ on a bike, if you live in an electorate that’s on the knife’s edge and can’t dirty yourself with accepting the awful voting system for what it is, and voting against the worst outcome, then there is no reasoning with you because you don’t understand the spoiler effect.

Voting reform is the first thing leftists in the US need to get implemented. Above everything else, literally. You have some states even outlawing ranked choice voting, because they correctly identify it as a threat to their stranglehold on power.

While the US is going to hell in a hand basket, our voting system (in Australia) means the socialist party can expand outside just Victoria. It’s still a small party, that’s what decades of eroding unionism, the Labor party losing it’s way, and living under capitalism has done, but there are little electoral barriers against them making gains (beyond obscurity and incumbent’s advantage). Our Overton window is shifting left. Our conservative and country parties (the Liberal and National parties) are further left than your Democrats.

Your Overton window is ratcheting further and further to the right, and at accelerating speeds partially BECAUSE Trump and the Republicans get back in power.

Do you really think the US electoral system is going to be left in a better position to be reformed after all this?

I reckon the US has pushed electoral reform at least a decade down the line, if not more. Everyone will be so concerned with “righting the ship” they won’t meaningfully change the system. Not unless it gets so bad you have some sort of revolution and seizure of power, and that’s not exactly a recipe for stability and actual democracy.

Anyway, I just came back to gloat (morbidly), but hopefully get through to you that bring righteous isn’t helping anyone.

I am still sad that Trump won over Kamala. We in the provinces need to live with it too, since the US is the preeminent imperialist power.

So, if you live in a competitive electorate, as a leftist you had better bloody vote for the most likely candidate to unseat Republicans at the mid-terms, and in the meantime organise like hell to have a chance of unseating both the Republicans and democrats WHEN ELECTORALLY POSSIBLE.

You can put your fingers in your ears, but it won’t change what your voting system is.

Christ.

It’s not the multiple partners that are a problem in my opinion (You do you. Polyamory is not for me, but no hate), it’s the many-to-one relationships. Even in cases where an immoral power dynamic doesn’t exist, you’re still setting up for societal shenanigans if it’s consistently many women to men, or vice versa, which seems prudent to avoid.

That being said, monogamy in a legal sense has probably only persisted so long because involving more than 2 people would be a massive headache for the courts lol

Probably only works in countries where one “partner” has more rights than others.

The percentages of respondents in surveys on infidelity answering “not a moral issue” from France are a bit of a cultural difference (from Australian perspective, anyway)

Your boss would be breaking the law in Australia, now explicitly under the new right to disconnect legislation, if they said anything about it.

(Though, could have probably been argued in the past also as unpaid overtime in the past)

Thank you, this detail had me scratching my head. D≈1.56" makes so much more sense.

Not knowing the difference between circumference and thickness? Instant turn off.

Work forced our update and it’s massively slowed down everyone’s computers.

The IT guy gave me this knowing look when I came to ask if I could do anything about it.

Nope.

Bloody ridiculous because in terms of functionality it’s a step backwards in many areas, some decent little improvements in very few areas, and overall trash performance.

Really wish they had paid for extended security updates.

If we know each other, I’d tell you in a heartbeat. On the internet where someone will just vacuum it up into their dataset? Not a chance.

Ah I guess that’s fair

This would be diabolic. No one makes something due at a time ending 59 other than 23:59.

I could totally imagine this happening by mistake, due to 12 hr time error.

I wish people would talking in 24 hour time, even

I took it as more of a PSA

I haven’t seen it, but the problem is that dairy is consumed to ungodly levels in the US, and even mandatory for school food programs, I believe. The problem with dairy is the myth that it’s vital to a healthy diet, despite like 50% or more of the world not being able to properly digest it.

If it’s addictive, then seems like a bit of an issue if it’s being pushed on kids.

It’s not gonna kill you in moderation, though.

The US really has a weird obsession with cheese, in my opinion. I live in Australia, a western country with the majority having European ancestry. As such cheese is consumed, in large qualities also. But my lordy, the US is on a whole other level with cheese.

The most revolting thing I’ve seen is “gooey” liquid cheese “sauce”.

🤢🤢🤢🤢 Yikes.

Haha, sorry for the rant, kind internet stranger, I am glad you enjoy your cheese, and if it makes you happy, then bless your heart, even if I don’t understand personally

I don’t mind cheese, but I have never understood the obsession with piles of cheese.

Cheese pizza has never made sense to me. Margarita is already plenty of cheese to topping ratio.

Just enough cheese to hold it together. That’s it, that’s the right amount of cheese (my opinion, of course)

I recently came across the question whether cheese or sauce is more fundamental to pizza.

The sauce. It’s 100% the sauce.

A better suggestion for Chinese is Pleco, but you have to download an app for that (if one is learning Chinese, one would already have this)

I’m keen to find something else for universal unicode character recognition, but haven’t extensively searched.

If you have any suggestions, feel free

Your country had better have a state owned grid, with a state run retailer, else this is still the same sort of shit, just without hidden fees.

Sincerely, an annoyed Victorian/Australian that wishes their electricity was just managed by the state.

There may be no hidden fees where I’m from, but when there’s a private company with a monopoly, what’s the difference?

Capitalism/privatisation is such a scam

:(
