I meant in terms of commerce. You IT people are on your own.

I just don’t think the people who believed him and used his lines of argument were taken seriously either except by people who were already in their bubble and weren’t going to come out.

I don’t think that ever happened with Colbert, did it?

Very much so. They were never going to get the Pope on board, and without the Pope, they wouldn’t have had much of Europe on their side.

It would have worked if the rest of the world (or at least the major European powers) were on board. But since most of them were still ruled by kings, that wasn’t going to happen.

Wikipedia tells me it was come up with in 1923, long after both global trade and the industrial revolution. You need all the countries to agree on the same calendar system or commerce is really hindered. It was way too late to change in 1923.

The French tried to change the calendar to something more sensible and closer to metric after the French Revolution. It did not last long.

Things seem to work just fine with the calendar we have anyway.

Also, it could be worse. The Mayans had three different calendar systems- a solar calendar, a lunar calendar, and a 260-day calendar which we don’t know the origin of, but I like Dr. Ed Barnhart’s theory that it’s very close to a human gestational period.

Every so often, I see a car with an InfoWars bumper sticker.

I wonder what those people will do?

Considering what The Onion has been able to do with manipulating video for the sake of comedy, I can’t wait to see what they do with any of their footage.

What problem did that cause? It only made everyone else laugh at them harder.

I was wondering that too. All I hear about is BlueSky and then suddenly this.

My Prius has a voice control option built in already. The only time I’ve ever activated it is by accident because it’s a steering wheel button. It’s a 2016 Prius so I doubt it’s able to do a whole lot anyway. Thankfully, most of the controls do not require the touch screen or voice control. None of the essential ones do.

Not being able to quickly change wiper speeds sounds like a bad idea.

Oh! Lowest setting! That explains what happened…

Or until Trump decides to have an army of hackers like Putin.

I did not say that. Do not put it in quotes because that is not what I said.

I said:

I do not have the willpower (or the money) to be a vegan.

Because we’re fucking poor.

Also there’s this issue: https://lemmy.world/post/18940775

Believe it or not, the plant-based version of Ensure is a lot more expensive and I’d like to not starve to death if it’s all the same to you.

Maybe learn a little about a person before pointing fingers, especially when they’re on your side.

Your paste:

adopting a vegan, vegetarian, or flexitarian diet could slash your food bill by up to one-third.

Me:

I don’t eat meat

Either you did not read my post or you ignored it to lecture me anyway. Either way, you are not here in good faith.

Will do, thanks!

I’d say it depends on whether you were singing it to me or not. Songs kind of have to keep these things brief a lot of the time. Also, the lyrics of this song don’t make much sense to begin with. 🤷

100%. That’s why it took me until the end of June to join Lemmy even though the blackout was on June 12th.

And I was already hating Reddit before the blackout. But FOMO made me stay and I feel bad about it.

No vegans dispute this.

I’ve actually seen vegans dispute that. I have no problem with veganism. It is not a bad idea. I don’t eat meat, but I do not have the willpower (or the money) to be a vegan.

But I have seen that.
