I see. I think I’m starting to understand. It makes sense when you mention that energy has been very cheap.

Why spend money on new windows when the difference in the energy bill is just a few bucks.

Windows like we have? It’s just two panes of glass with a gap between the panes for air to act as an insulant.

Even with plastic windows, you can have two panes with a gap and it will work too.

I believe you. I just really struggle to comprehend that not being standard in parta where you get snow and cold. Or it being considered “extra”. It’s not alien technology. It’s two panes with a gap between them. That’s it.

The US. Got it. Say no more.

Yes

That’s the dumbest thing I’ve heard. The part about there not being good or bad winter drivers.

Honestly. Most of your tips sounds what someone says that was a tourist somewhere cold once in their life and now pretends to know what they’re talking about.

Sincerely. Someone born and raised in the north.

What is north for you? I see so many tips being the dumbest things I’ve ever heard of.

Like plastic wrap on your windows. Sounds like something stupid Americans does instead of buying proper insulated windows.

Not saying I’m a expert. But I am a Swede and deal with snow and cold every year.

Doesn’t have to be.

It’s quite incredible how much one can manage to post when it’s your full time job

Carbon is no longer an element and doesn’t exist.

Tiananman square massacre is the name for the entire tragedy that took place. You trying to say how people didn’t die at the square itself does nothing.

And it doesn’t matter if they were protesting for more, or less communism. What happened is still an absolute tragedy and disaster and trying to downplay it is pathetic. It was fucked up, how do you expect to learn from the past if you deny it ever happened?

You if anyone need to see the documentation of the events. The tank man got famous because one. It was incredibly brave, it had a good ending with him not ending up in a puddle.

Moat other images and recordings are not very media friendly. Though if you want to see what happened. Here you go.

There are multiple words that describe numbers.

Couple, pair, and two are all words that describe the number 2.

I can’t say it better than weird al https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Gv0H-vPoDc

Unfortunately, I’ve had plenty of conversations here with people who think exactly this.

So yes, there are people who literally think this.

Not about that. They have some misguided notion that Russia stands for some imaginary form of communism that is the answer to everything.

And everything bad in the world is because of Capitalism. And also, everything west of Russia is “The west” and the entire “the west” is one entity.

It’s a .ml community. What did you expect?

All you have is trying to insult me because you think I’m white. Pathetic. I’m not American. I’m not part of your little race war. Don’t include me in it.

If you never comment, and only vote, it’s not going to doxx you. Your account can be assumed to live in a certain city. That’s it. Please tell me how that is used to dox someone. “Shit they know I live in Frome, I’m done for!”

But now you bringing up posting local pictures. Which is so far from “just voting”. That’s not your voting doxxing you. That’s you posting local pictures doxxing you.

You really didn’t think your argument through did you?

How very American of you. Me disclosing my ethnicity to you would do a lot more on the way of doxxing than any voting pattern ever could. Don’t you think?

How exactly do you imagine “never commenting, but showing votes” might dox someone?

My home adress is not on display here. Imagine if pigs had wings. Imagine living on Mars upside down. And how long is a rope?

I don’t mind because I don’t care who knows what posts and comments I vote for. I’m more than happy to stand up for what I think and why I think so.

Worst case. I get banned from .ml communities for seeing through the blatant ccp propaganda. No loss there.

As you wish, and probably a good idea;

Voting on lemmy is not private because anyone who wants to find out. Can. Be it moderators, adminis, or users on federated sites that simply show it for everyone.

You don’t. You never have. Voting already is not private
