Kia and Hyundai use a lot of the same parts, so if one was doing it, it’s likely both were.
Didn’t they also use child labour in the US?
Yeah a box/bag of oatmeal would easily be cheaper than that box of cereal, takes three minutes to cook, and would be much healthier than the cereal, even if you need to add a bunch of sugar to it to make it palatable to kids.
This photograph is just a unique situation that seems to occur in industrialised nations with food deserts. Where this kind of food can be made very cheaply, and even the poor have the purchasing power to afford it. These kind of ready made meals and snacks are usually very expensive in South Africa (except for the ramen/two minute noodles, those are always cheap). No way would a poor person here buy some microwave pizza over a bag of rice or pap.
I don’t see any food in that shopping trolley. Most of that is snacks and microwave meals.
Well you can, but the consequences of doing so are much worse in adulthood
Only android phone with tensor is Google pixel. There is much more to android than that. I still get 9-10 hours screen on time, off of one charge on a three year old android device with a 120hz screen. Apple definitely tracks you and free apps definitely have ads. On Android, private DNS allows you to essentially block ads system wide. And Android has advantages such as pop up and multi window apps for multitasking, I’ve been using that for 10 years now, since the galaxy S4. Apple still does not have this feature on the iPhone, only the iPad.
The advantages of an iPhone are the cohesive software experience with top class hardware and a premium feel, with top class video quality. In that they are alone at the top.
30? Damn I wish I made it that far. I think I’ve had chronic back pain for as long as I can remember. But that’s because my spine is all messed up so I know I’m not a representative example here.
I mean a lot of hexbear, and Lemmy in general, is like that. Just shitting on other people’s happiness over the most trivial of things, bringing out 500 reasons why thing sucks. And it’s done in a hypocritical manner too, if you were to apply their own logic to things they liked and criticise it, they’d get really angry or give you that fake “I don’t care” attitude that everyone can see through. This happens with every discussion about “treats” on hexbear in particular.
a little meme
Me shitting on other people’s “treats”
Other people shitting on my “treats”
It’s the start button, I agree
I have the opposite problem, I’m struggling to get enough calories. We’ll come back stronger next week I hope!
Yeah the big trucks suck and are pointless. Here in South Africa they keep making the Ford Ranger and Toyota Hilux bakkies bigger and bigger to try copy American trucks. Honestly only a matter of time before a Ford F-150 or Toyota Tundra model is available at a car dealership in South Africa. Also EVs won’t get popular here until rolling electricity blackouts are solved, and since they’ve been an issue for 15 years now, it’s not looking good.
The first world lifestyle/“American Dream” of everyone owning a car and living in a nice house is unsustainable in the first world itself, nevermind a world of 8 billion people. EVs or no EVs. If we want to actually start tackling global warming, these people need to get used to the idea of public transit.
And? How does that make non-binary gender any less real? Which is what you implied with your original comment, by asking if it exists or not.
Many things are matters of social practice, doesn’t make them any less real.
It’s like, a person disagrees on a leftist issue like do non binary genders exist (a matter of sociological theory)
Go ahead and tell all the non binary people that they actually don’t exist, it’s just all sociological. Is this the new “it’s all in your head” stuff they used to tell gay kids back in the day?
Not even going to get started on the transphobia in your comment, trans kids shouldn’t get the medical treatment now because some countries are banning it. Great logic, it’s not like countries have ever prescribed incorrect medical treatment to LGBT people before. Alan Turing? Who’s that again?
What the hell is wrong with artificial hair colours? I’d never dye my hair an unnatural colour myself, but it’s a cool look on some people. What is the “blue haired leftist stereotype?” Is it some right wing American meme?
The funniest part is when two instances federate, but the userbases of both instances want to defederate with each other immediately afterwards lol.
What is Nazi about hexbear? Seriously just making up stuff now
I’m South African, I know who F.W de Klerk is. Don’t lie about what he did, there’s a reason he was unanimously booed while receiving his joint noble peace prize. He didn’t help end apartheid, he was forced into a position where it was the only viable option. Pure pragmatism. He was a member of the NP for many years, he willingly joined that organisation at the height of apartheid in 1972. If he was actually interested in ending fighting apartheid, he would have joined a liberation movement, not the apartheid party.
de Klerk was an apartheid president that was so corrupt he ordered the incineration of evidence of his, and his parties, corruption and crimes against humanity to be carried out by industrial steel smelters. Not to mention what he did with all the “third force” shenanigans towards the end of apartheid that almost caused civil war. It’s been revealed that he knew all about it. Or all the racist things he said later in life that revealed his true character, such as refusing to call apartheid a crime against humanity. Yes, I also used to be a liberal that thought de Klerk was a good guy that helped end apartheid, that was until I actually decided to do some research into the matter. Nelson Mandela said it best when it comes to de Klerk:
“Despite his seemingly progressive actions, Mr de Klerk was by no means the great emancipator…He did not make any of his reforms with the intention of putting himself out of power. He made them for precisely the opposite reason: to ensure power for the Afrikaner in a new dispensation.”
Yes the ANC is now extremely corrupt, it was effectively couped by corporate interests in the late 90s and early 2000s. Remember the move from RPD to GEAR? Thabo Mbeki and Trevor Manuel? Ramaphosa running away to make money in McDonalds and mining instead of succeeding Mandela? Leaving the door open for Mbeki to become president, a self described Thacherite who instituted austerity measures, underfund Eskom and give South Africa it’s first bout of load shedding, and denied that HIV causes AIDS, killing hundreds of thousands in the process? This all paved the way for Zuma’s corruption and ineptitude, and for Ramaphosa to come back, even after his shameful involvement in Marikana. Yes the ANC is shamefully corrupt, incompetent and useless, and it’s interesting to look at exactly how it got to that position.
