Magic Earth is closed source but it claims it respects the users privacy, it uses open street maps and it has decent traffic data for navigation for some countries. It also has the advantage that you can configure it to stick to the original route if you prefer. This is very important for me because sometimes I want to take a scenic route, or just routes I prefer but that are not necessarily the fastest.

at this point in life I think I already saw all the bands I wanted in concert. I think I can afford to boycot these mfs and stick to local concerts that dont use that garbage company.

I dont do it but I can see the appeal of photographing a wild animal. Its like hunting, but instead of shooting a gun and killing the animal, you shoot a picture and you get a nice souvenir without hurting anything.

Im not sure what you mean by socialist countries. But communists countries are more oppresive:

• They have leaders that stay in power for decades. Opposition is often punished.
• There is nor freedom of speech, speaking against the government gets you in jail or worse.
• In some of those countries, people are not allowed to leave the country.

And for the record, I agree that poverty is extremely oppressive as well and we need more socialist reforms in capitalist countries, tax harder the rich, break monopolies, foster more unions and so on, I just dont agree that communism is the magical land you all think it is and the solution to all the problems. Nobody seems to want immigrate to North Korea for a reason.

considering that all “communist states” to date have been oligarchic autocracies

And you think that is a coincidence?

I thought the same many years ago, until I saw how it went for every single country that implemented communism and then I didnt like it so much. You all seriously think is a coincidence?

because otherwise it would be like a peck from a bird and yes, that would be weird

My feelings? not that I remember. My faith in humanity though…

I have to, otherwise I wouldnt listen to music at all…

Telling them how a steam engine works. That would start the industrial revolution earlier and it would end up speeding us up to a more advanced and better future… or to an early extinction by global warming… hmmmm

Maybe explaining an electricity generator would be a better gamble, but it may be very hard to make one back then…

did they have soap back then?

you… im listening you… and you should be ashamed

Where can I find some of that free fuel? Asking for a friend

The same way it works in all other countries. Is not a coincidence that the US is the only country where gun ownership is a right in the constitution and the country #1 in school shootings.

my dude… of course I would, thats why I dont support gun rights… thats my point…

“I support face eating leopards and would run from one”

Every post on linkedin. Bunch of fake ass people kissing corporate asses.

Back 4 blood. They added so much nonsense to it, I just want to slash my way through waves of zombies with fun weapons, not to manage a card deck and play in a very specific way to be able to advance in the campaign.

yeah I remember that guy, I stopped watching his linux channel during the pandemic as soon as he called it “plandemic”. It looks like it just got worst from there.

because it has 0 informative value:

• We dont need to know every time somebody in this planet kills somebody else.
• We dont need to know the horrible details about it.
• The source is not serious and is writing this for clickbait.
• This is a.k.a. yellow journalism.
