This is a genuine question from someone wanting to be more educated, why is it being downvoted?

I think most are inclined to buy something like a t-shirt, but my girlfriend does collect CDs in the same way I collect records

Country boy here - cows are pretty harmless most of the time if you leave them alone, they might wander over to have a look, but they’re usually pretty docile. If you don’t want them near you, clapping your hands or making yourself big with your arms and shouting usually makes them go away. I will say that you should absolutely not approach them if there are calves nearby and bulls in general are typically more aggressive, but if you keep a safe distance you should be fine

You try arguing with idiots

I’m a massive Doctor Who fan and discourse surrounding it has been ‘difficult’ for the last few years. As the quality of the show has varied, some fans have denounced more recent series, and others have become angry that they don’t enjoy the same things as they do. At the end of the day we’re all fans of Doctor Who, we just can’t agree what Doctor Who is, but I think we should accept that and all let each other enjoy the Doctor Who we want to.

Most optimistic lemmy user

You seem to be rather fond of this sort of question

I had knockoff coco pops once and they tasted like cardboard

You can’t really get any more outrageous than Death to all but Metal

Sounds exactly like what happened to me when I had bad anxiety. Definitely worth talking to a therapist about

I was a huge fan of steam engines when I was younger, so I used to go to heritage railways a lot as a child. Also when I had an LPG car, the place I used to go for fuel also sold coal

No, but I think this is only because I’m the ‘tech guy’ in my family and I’ve had years of helping my grandparents in their misadventures in using Windows, and I know it’s not their fault that they don’t understand, so I’m naturally patient with them

Least anarchic lemming

I studied early soviet history and Lenin was a total nutcase - the USSR was totalitarian from the start. It wasn’t a popular revolution, it was a hostile takeover of a nation

I’ve used ios for a while now and it’s always just worked, but imessage is a bag of shit though. When I used to use android I was always coming across bugs and issues, especially with the settings app, but this is going back about 5-10 years ago now, so it’s probably different now

I think thats a pretty good way of seeing it

It’s not so bad if there’s loads of other cars, but if you set off onto a quiet road, it can be quite easy to zone out and forget where you are if you’re not careful

I think you might be on the wrong instance

This is something I wrestle with sometimes as an engineering student and I think it does vary from country to country. You’ve got to ask yourself how the world would be different without those companies - whether other less friendly countries would come to prominence and whether the removal of the such a deterrence would make wars more common. But on the other hand, you should think about how those weapons are used and whether it’s ‘right’ like the defence of Ukraine, or more objectionable like some of the more polarising conflicts around the world. It’s a very difficult question but personally I don’t think I would work for a weapons company coz I don’t know how I’d feel about making something that is designed to kill people

Your first mistake was thinking large companies care about customers - you’re just an obstacle to your wallet
