American public transit does not rule

This is again a US only issue I'm afraid. It works great in Europe and Japan.

Is going to? It actually is. We are rn putting alarms to open the house on the half an hour where the temperature drops below 23°C. We have 31 days and 24 nights. The usual here on hot season is 16 nights and 24 days so we don't even have air conditioning. We literally are strategically airing the house to cool it a little bit...

The "recruiters are X more likely to contact you in this period" is real, which might have given inspiration to all the other shit post due to the double entendre of the word period.

Be Vegan Be Rule

Reducing meat intake and replacing it with veggies where you can does heaps for the environment. Your best is phenomenal, if everyone did your best, I bet the industries would adapt and offer more alternatives you aren't allergic to, so you had more choice to evolve what "your best" is.
Sadly this is probably going to be a generational change, multi generational even, so please don't chastise yourself for not being able to do more.
Me for example, I try to use vegan/vegetarian ingredients where I can but I'm lazy and also eat meat every 2-3 days. The moment I learn of a new lazy healthy product that tastes good I introduce it to my diet, it's a slow process lol.

As an European, we need to realise that AC also throws hot air if needed, it can be used as a substitute for radiators.
Technically it is more energy efficient that radiators at heating the place, so if you are mainly in a single room its cheaper to switch on the AC than the heating.

Oh man I got banned from AITA years ago for calling the clearly incredible asshole third party "cunt", cuz that's a slur.

No, they probably used AI but the walls are very intentional. The whole post is promoting the Norwegian football team to stick it to England.

YSK: Deezer, the music streaming service, is owned by a company whose Founder and CEO is a Russian Oligarch with connections to the Kremlin and donates to the American Republican party.
Tidal was originally European but DayZ Jay-z bought it up so it's technically American now; Qobuz is french but it doesn't have a "brain-dead radio mode". Both have unofficial Linux clients.
Rn I use tidal because it's on the top 3 of the ones that pay the most to artists iirc(quobuz is up there too) and it hasn't had a huge American influence that I know of, but do your own research on the alternatives to see which suits you the most, there are tons of articles about them all.

... Like AI.
AI=Death Star
Machine Learning=Lasers
Machine learning has been around for a long time, and it's true that we have used the AI term for several thing before, but since LLMs popped up every fucking thing that before was a predictive algorithm, image processing... Now it's AI. Everything is called AI even if it doesn't use LLMs.
Plus the stuff about putting death stars in everything and that generating issues is also quite on point. C'mon it's a good post.

Tell that to all the non US specific named communities created on LW, that are actually US specific according to rules.
Politics, news... All those communities are actually US specific, while having a nonUS name and being hosted on Europe. It irritates me.

You clearly don't live in a tourist heavy zone. Also the fact that you generalise what some locals in selected very tourist heavy cities are doing with the whole fucking country is very telling. We are better without you <3

It's a metaphor. The Abrahamic god is not technically in the sky, but he has been called the almighty father and heaven has been represented to be in the clouds enough times even if technically isn't that everyone understands what "Sky daddy" means. It's a derogatory term, sure, that's the point. The term being derogatory doesn't make it a strawman though.
It's an insult and the Abrahamic god isn't a protected individual so whatever.
