Yep that’s why I don’t understand all those people with Kindles and huge Amazon book collections. They can literally take it all away on a whim. If I want to own a book I’ll purchase a physical copy, but ebooks? High seas for me. I feel like a ‘free’ ePub in my Dropbox is safer than whatever proprietary format in my Amazon account.

Edit - getting mostly replies defending ebooks and stating disadvantages of physical books (also, yeah I know books “aren’t for showing of” lol, like that’s the only reason for owning a book).

Just want to add I have both and get their pros and cons. I read tons on my ereader too, just not a Kindle because fuck that closed system, it’s not for me (for reasons mentioned above).

Petition to put all of the races in Europe

And then call it the World Championship anyway!

Are you memeing? I hate Adobe as much as the next guy but Inkscape is absolutely horrid compared to Illustrator or even Affinity.

If you’re getting Google results, you’re using Google lol

Oh wait, you can’t, they’re dead on your plate.

Your phone is probably the most secure device you own, provided you don’t download shit like TikTok.

Sadly this isn’t just common in the bacon industry, similar abhorrent practises are common in literally every livestock sector. The workers develop a sort of disassociation and don’t see them as animals anymore, or just straight up don’t care.

the good graces of another species who raised us

Lmao what? Would you feel the same if some extraterrestrial beings just landed here on earth and started to breed us to be as fat as quick as possible so they can eat us? Would you thank them for their good graces?

Hah! That’s part of what I like about salmon dials actually, they kind of blend with my skin tone.

For me it’s not about analog vs digital or mechanical vs quartz vs smart. I just like shiny things, and quality products. Might be me being shallow but I like holding or wearing something that you can tell is made well. Watches are one of the last remaining items left that revolve around craftsmanship. The fact that they tell time is kind of secondary to me haha.

You’re literally on the reddit community though

Lmao this bullshit again. PETA only euthanizes animals that are suffering and beyond saving. They accept animals that are rejected by those “no-kill” shelters that are more concerned with how their statistics look than helping suffering animals, which sometimes means euthanizing. The whole “PETA hates animals” thing is just another way for people to justify their own behaviour against animals. Do you honestly believe PETA is some kind of evil organisation that’s out to kill animals out of pure spite?

Edit: see here

The animals that are being eaten, presumably

Sync for Lemmy maybe? That’s why I’m here at least.
