You’re good, no “gotcha” intended, I just think potatoes are too good to overlook 😁

I’m sure all of this is correct, but you’re forgetting one thing: potatoes are the only one of these you can grow enough of to eat at home, as long as you have space for a bucket or sack or two of soil, and which basically require zero processing aside from applying heat to consume.
I agree with you that we shouldn’t actually need to know or use any of this information, and as a poor disabled person I also know that growing your own food isn’t always an option for everyone, but if it is an option, I think it at the very least puts potatoes back in the running.
They’re in the business of making money, simple as.
I don’t know where you live, but for example
19% provide only private care, with no NHS, and a further 14% said they worked predominantly (over 75% of their time) in private care. Only 15% of responding dentists are fully NHS, with no private care, and a further 27% said they worked predominantly (over 75% of their time) in NHS care.
And I’m sure the numbers are similar or worse in every country where a capitalist government is running a pseudo-social service. Because they’re still more concerned about the bottom line than they are about your wellbeing, so they’ve sold large chunks of the service off, and us poors who can’t afford to go private have to put up with a deliberately underfunded, sub standard service.
Either way, you’re not getting the top notch selfless service you think you are.
They might not be buying the toothpaste, but they may very well be in partnership with or owned by the same people as the toothpaste company. I’m sure they know the brand of toothpaste you use makes very little difference in the grand scheme of things, and if they were to recommend one it wouldn’t be because they’re wanting what’s best for you, but because some money exchanged hands.
You had me in the first half, but fuck insurance companies, they too are for-profit, not for-benefit-of-patient. If anything, they’re some of the worst offenders at it.
Oh yeah, I’ve had my fair share of disaster, backing up lesson learned the hard way lol
I’ll do my best to remember to update when I get around to trying the upgrade out. Thanks again!
Wow, thanks! That does look promising (to me as a lay person anyway!), I’ll have to give it a try once I’ve sorted out that extra memory I’ve been meaning to buy since my backup space is running out, and I definitely want to make sure I have a solid back up before trying anything.
Better, fair, but is it possible to upgrade an existing install? 😬
I have a lot going on right now and convenience is priority over ideal if I’m honest…
So far I’ve managed to avoid most this kind of crap with minor tweaking, but with end of life coming soon I’ve been meaning to make the switch for ages, but there are always more urgent priorities… If you don’t mind me asking, and if you know - is it still possible to switch from win10 to win10 LTSC, and if so, what does it entail (do I need a fresh install, or can I just upgrade?)?
Good old nan…
And that’s fucking classic… 😂 Tbf if it was me, I’d probably have just used the lighter shade and then lightly applied some tea or maybe even a light dusting of dirt to get it to “could easily be missed if not pointed out” lol though that wouldn’t work in most of the rooms in my place now, since it’s all artex wallpaper (painted magnolia, of course) so any scratches would be visible in the texture, if not in the paint 😑😭😂
Go ask a straight man how many dudes he’s slept with recently and get back to me…
Yeah, it’s an important distinction to make. And I have to agree, it would be nice to have more exchanges like this, but with the state of the world it isn’t really surprising that people are generally angrier, be it for good reason or bad (anti-racist vs racist, for example), it’s when people are mostly on the same page that the animosity really confuses me lol. The last part goes back to the top - we’re all learning all the time, the important thing is to stay open to it and grow from it.
Tbf my levels of patience vary a lot lol. I would never berate anyone for not knowing something, no one knows everything, and we all learn something new every day (E: and also in different ways), though if someone clearly doesn’t want to hear anything that doesn’t confirm their bias I won’t waste my time and might call them out for not wanting to know, and be blunt about that since I think some people need the rude awakening. On the other hand, if someone is already taking their own steps to explore outside of and challenge their bias, and I happen to know something about the topic or have a relevant resource, I’m more than happy to help. So the credit is yours as much as it is mine, but thank you.
On a side note - comrade(s) is a great gender neutral alternative to both ladies and gentlemen, and dude.
No worries, and that’s fair. You also don’t need to read a whole ton of theory to get the gist in most cases (also, if videos are easier for you, Andrewism on YT for example, does good videos about anarchism), but it’s always best to rely on sources from within - from people who practice the ideology and want it to succeed, rather than misinformation from outside which leftist ideologies suffer a lot from, because capitalist propaganda has done its utmost to twist and subvert what they mean and stand for.
Enjoy the ride!
Oh, I get why it happens, and that it’s all a feature of the system not a bug, doesn’t make it any less frustrating to see…
keeping everything at the local level
This only happens because within capitalism only small anarchist communities have been able to survive, anarchism doesn’t say anything about keeping everything local (I’d say the opposite, it encourages cooperation between communities to cover all bases, ideally on a global scale)
Having some form of government is helpful
Anarchism doesn’t mean there is no government, just no hierarchy, horizontal governance is a thing.
While a complete lack of structure
Again, not a thing in anarchism, even the symbol of anarchism literally incorporates the word order (the circle around the A isn’t a circle, but an O)
In the UK rental market it’s perpetual magnolia… 😑
“I’m not X”, proceeds to describe X.
Might as well said “I’m not like other girls”.
OP is basically a “pick me” move where you’re so desperate for approval from the “in” group despite them completely rejecting your values and value, but whose acceptance you’ve been socialised to believe you should dedicate your life to getting.
You’re going to be waiting a long long time (or else get used as a token or “one of the good ones” before they discard you back in the reject pile for not fitting in their exclusionary exploitative systems).
Have some fucking pride in your convictions, opposing capitalism and the status quo are nothing to be ashamed of, but the exact opposite.
And the entirety of Africa is framed as nothing but both of theirs pawn and playground… 🙄
