I'm not talking about Valve giving things back to us. I'm talking about the fact the owners of the company get money simply by owning the company. They take money they didn't work for. Even if the company isn't manipulative or scummy, they're enriching people who don't deserve it.

Are you lost? I'm responding to the previous comment

The American government is not giving Ukraine bags of money. They are giving them weapons. These weapons were made by American companies. All of the money spent on these weapons was either spent years ago, or remains in the American economy. The only thing that is moving is metal, plastic, explosives, etc. Money is being pumped into the defense industry, which you would think would make conservatives happy.

Recycling is hard. That said, carbon emissions aren't the only reason to do more eco friendly manufacturing. Not having giant piles of garbage and polluted environments are also pretty decent reasons.

Thanos was a fucking stupid character in the MCU. The human population is currently doubling every 61 years with a growth rate of about 1.14%. Assuming similar numbers across the galaxy, he didn't do anything except cause suffering. He's a very poorly written villain.

I guess to stay on topic, they would have looked at population growth, and determined that his plan was moronic, and fought him.

Even when capitalism serves customers well, it still takes the work of people who make things, and gives it to people who own things

I think you got downvoted by people who thought you were asking for proof that India murdered that fellow.

I found it pretty clear you were mocking India's government for not providing any proof of Canada being a terrorist sanctuary.

Magazine size laws aren't really effective at doing anything. Up in Canada you can't have a rifle magazine with more than 5 rounds. However, almost all of the magazines are full size magazines that have been modified to hold fewer rounds. All of the responsible owners leave them at 5, but with a minute or two of work you could turn most of them into full size again. We don't have mass shootings every day.

Gun violence in America is a culture issue. You're broken.

Up in Canada (at least my part), McDonald's coffee is a great affordable coffee. It's better than Starbucks or (🤮) Tim Hortons. It's not going to compete with a bespoke artisan coffee shop that squeezes cat butt glands or whatever justifies selling a $5 cup for $10, but it's better than almost everything else for the price.

I put a screwdriver down beside me and have to take 2 minutes to find it. I couldn't imagine if the screwdriver had legs.

 
 

When you delete your comment, you will be backed out of the post and see your feed. The problem is if you have "mark posts as read" and "hide read posts" set to true, then the post is hidden and you can't correct what lever mistake you might have been trying to fix, like posting a top level thread rather than a reply.

 
 

When you search, look at a single community, or look at similar screens, the hamburger menu is replaced by a back arrow to take you to the main feeds.

Sometimes I want to change some settings, send a message, or look at my inbox while on one of these pages without loosing my position. A great feature would be the ability to open the app menu without having to back out of your current screen.
