You're right. I should just not go there at all, watch the business collapse, and see them beg for jobs at the next shitty restaurant. That's the better option apparently?

Denmark just happens to have strong social programs, significantly better than the US has ever had. Free education, healthcare, employment benefits, and wealth distribution through taxes. Not comparable at all.

I mean, that sounds pretty reasonable. But can you list any countries with isolationist economic policy that are more prosperous than America? I can't. How do you account for the loss of inflow of foreign money into America after America stops spending money elsewhere? You can't.

Was about to pull the trigger on a new car, but decided to go a much cheaper route and replace my nearly dead computer instead. A mid-tier computer and me sitting at home gaming for a few years will be insanely cheaper and less financially risky than an SUV under Trump's uneducated shenanigans.

Who's going to pay for all the expensive American stuff? Nobody, because they already barely afford the cheap Chinese stuff.

I'm personally totally cool accepting that the majority of my countrymates are selfish pieces of shit. It totally fits with own experiences and the things I've seen on the news. I no longer have to wonder. Also probably true for most of the rest of the world, I dunno

Cops can't even tell the difference between a cellphone and a gun

Yeah. It's about as childish as it gets. People need cars to get to work and that's about all there is to it in the US. If people don't want cars, then why don't they do something productive like design better public transit and lobby for better city setups which don't require vehicle transportation, or something along those lines? But because it's hard to do things that make a difference, they instead sit there and complain about "fuck cars" which does nobody any good.

At some point, there was this shift where the technology was no longer being designed to benefit the user, but to benefit the creator. The problem is that the creators are now trillion-dollar multi-national organizations who also lobby against my wellbeing and safety in areas of rulemaking and regulation. So now I am fine foregoing the "technology" whenever I can.

You're just being so needlessly confrontational. I hope you're not trying to convince people or change their minds, because all you're doing is causing people to be less receptive of your ideas.

For reals. This is the browser equivalent of being concerned that your car only has 14-way adjustable seats instead of 16, or whatever the marketing team dreamed up last year.

 

I've found myself looking for a really good can opener. I purchased my last one, a KitchenAid, from Target and I've been disappointed in it the whole time. Sometimes it doesn't puncture the lid right, and it feels like it got rusty kinda fast--not at all what I want out of a utensil I hoped would last for a decade or more (who wants to keep buying can openers? lol).

I'm looking for a manual handheld can opener. I've always had the type that opens from the top, but a little bit of Googling shows that there are types that open from the side. I'm in the USA if that matters!

What does Lemmy think?
