Revealing clothing is inappropriate ; for all genders.
I dont want touchscreens everywhere, I hate subscriptions, and I hate software that forces me to connect to the internet. I want more software and hardware similar to older tech, I want chunkier laptops, I want phones with keyboards, I want software I can modify, and I do not want my OS to be an always online subscription service.
Touchscreens suck. They’re used because they’re cheap, not because it’s good for usability. They’re not accessible to people with vision problems. They absolutely suck as controls for things like earphones. They have their place, but that place is not literally everywhere!
And the “everything online” trend was old and ugly in 2000 already. It hasn’t improved with age. I’d like to be able to use my computer without having to connect to the Internet.
I have a kitchen robot with buttons. All the new models from the same series have a big touch screen.
Touch screen. In a kitchen. Where things get wet and greasy. And let’s not talk about the login.
I am so damn happy I bought it before it was enshittified.
I just found out this exists because that’s the first time I’ve heard the term “kitchen robot.”
Agree. Physical buttons please. It’s insane that cars keep replacing their control panels with tablets, I shouldn’t need to look down at a screen to operate the radio, just give me a button I can feel for while keeping my eyes on the road.
Everyone should learn how grow a garden and forage, and anyone who eats meat should kill, butcher and eat at least one animal. People would have more respect for life, nature, and where their food comes from.
This absolutely - eating meat without being willing to kill an animal and prepare it is, in my opinion, morally wrong.
A few weeks back I was in the meat department and walked by two ladies. one probsbly 80+ and the othet 60ish. Mom and daughter I guessed, the older lady walks past the split breast (with all the bones) and she says abruptly, “Thats disgusting!” and the younger lady does a half eye roll and walks her to the breast meat. I had such a good chuckle with that, it was kind of adorable. But,
you can tell who is familiar with raising meat animals, and who has been sheltered from it.
I agree, I think most folks should understand not only how meal is fully raised ans butchered, but also feel the same for veggies. In my personal expierence, in learning both, I do find I have a lot of reapect for animals and nature. Im also often vegan, but not always
Oh yes, on the plants too … things like working with muck spreading, harvesting, etc, all by hand woild help people appreciate what they eat
eating meat without being willing to kill an animal and prepare it is, in my opinion, morally wrong.
Being willing to kill something does not make it morally right either.
Maybe by your moral framework it doesn’t.
Don’t confuse what I’m saying as condoning killing for fun. That’s repugnant to me. But killing for food is, in my opinion, morally right.
This decision also doesn’t take place in a vacuum, and given how much environmental damage modern farming does I have reduced my meat intake to very little.
Other examples of morally right killing, in my opinion, are culling wild animals where an imbalance of predators exists, and putting people guilty of serious crimes to death (in the case of incontrovertible evidence)
I don’t think it’s never wrong to kill, but I don’t think the state can hold itself or be held to high enough standards to prevent innocents from being killed.
Not a single state, no. I agree with the hangings done by the Nuremberg Trials, which was a multi-state effort with good evidencial rigor
Fair. I can agree with that.
I agree with this. Murdering other people for any reason is dangerous rhetoric. It only sounds okay when people believe they’re capable and in control of that judgement.
We should be willing to eat the people we murder.
As a meat eater I agree
Most people don’t even know where water comes from.
Most people wear clothes despite not knowing how to sew, weave, or spin thread.
You haven’t really lived until you’ve used a drop spindle.
They’re so annoying!! Even as a kid I was bad with them, and I had nice fine motor control back then!
I find it meditative. I can spin all day.
Water?? … you mean like in the toilet?
How about also making their own clothing and shoes, and building their own cars? Might as well respect where their clothes and transportation come from.
I mean, yeah. Why not?
Mainly those are skills that take time to master, and we live in an age of specialization where we make a living by doing specific things well and getting paid by people who do things we don’t do. I’ve learned a few skills related to home maintenance and remodeling because I found them interesting. Years ago I rebuilt the engine in my old VW bus. That was enough car mechanic work for me in this lifetime. Just my thing. I’m also not interested in raising and butchering animals, and I find vegetable gardening tedious. Just a different point of view I guess. I don’t see any ethical problems with paying somebody else to prepare my meat, or put out fires, or arrest burglars, replace roofing, etc.
You’re being pedantic about my old fashioned idea.
Yeah but it’s good old-fashioned pedantry, as our ancestors would have wanted.
Books should be written by humans, not AI.
That’s not old-fashioned. That’s just sanity.
If feels old-fashioned
you should derive math equations yourself, from scratch, even if you already know them by heart. you might not always be able to look them up, and even if you can there is knowledge and understanding to be gained in the process. plus it helps you practice doing derivations and troubleshooting mistakes, since you already know the answer. ive often found equations that are commonly used in my work are based on assumptions that no one will ever tell you about, which is dangerous because people will blindly use them in situations that violate those assumptions. this matters a lot to me because im an engineer, but its true for pretty much everyone.
also computer algebra programs are no substitute for doing the algebra yourself.
Political figures should fight on the frontlines of the wars they start.
Cutting my own lawn. Never seen landscapers growing up and I didn’t know what happened that made them so popular now.
Also, there is only one Matrix movie
My parents paid a company like $40 a week to have like 4 dudes come out and get their whole yard done in like 15 minutes. I can see how that would be appealing. Somehow after witnessing that they were like “Why are we paying so much for that? they were only here like 15 minutes!!” and cancelled. Now my dad spends half a day every weekend doing it himself.
Is your dad using a ride on mower or one with a wide deck? That may help speed up, but it’s good exercise.
He’s got an electric push mower. Their yard isn’t that big, he’s just slow at it and honestly he could use the exercise but there’s better ways to get that than wasting half of one of the only 2 days you have off work every week.
Well hell, I don’t have a lawn, but if that fits the category I do my own plumbing, electrical, cooking, etc. Lately I’ve been on about people who buy bags of pre-grated cheese and pre-shredded lettuce. Srsly??
Agreed
I tie an onion on my belt so when it comes back in style I’ll be cutting edge.
Tyrants should be put to the sword.
Men’s socks should go up past their ankles.
I dont think mens shorts should go above thier knees, and mustaches should be outlawed. I jest though, Its not a solid opinion
Every generation has a fashion trend that they’re going to look back on in embarrassment. For zoomers, it’s going to be no-show socks with full length pants.
Yeah, for me it was flared bluejeans.
For my age of millennial, it was furry uggs/leggings for the women, super skinny jeans for the guys.
Polyester disco shirts.
Probably the deities I worship are my most old fashioned beliefs, the main one predates writing.
Also I’m a classic cheap midwesterner who has called people spendthrift as an insult.
