    To be fair, on the meme they aren’t saying communism is the solution (although there any many memes that do).

    I think it’s easy to criticise capitalism because people live with it on a daily basis. If these people lived under communism they would criticise it somehow.

    This kinda reminds me of something I heard someone say. It’s something like “Democracy is shit. But it’s the best shit we have”.

    Is capitalism right? Nope. But I don’t feel like communism would be a solution either. But I’m all up for criticising whatever needs criticising otherwise things don’t improve/change.

    Also speaking as an European we might not have it as bad as the US (which is where most people are from here). Just the fact that our healtcare is free is a huge plus. When I was younger I dreamt about living in the US or even just going to NY, SF etc. Now I’m afraid I might get shot, get a huge hospital bill and come back broke. 👌

  • Oh, people do say that but maybe it has to do with the straw quality? The ones I usually use are from McDonald’s or Starbucks and those are fine. Unless you leave them there for a long time (1hour + maybe?).

    I’m not US based so maybe in Europe they are sturdier? I dunno…

    Nevermind, it seems the commenter above my initial comment is also based in Europe. Eastern Europe while I’m in Western Europe but it’s Portugal so, essentially, eastern Europe.

    When all this started about the straws I bought a set of metal straws too but I’ve never heard of collapsible metal straws. That could be a handy item to have on you

    Same, I usually don’t really participate but I love seeing people discuss political opinions objectively and willing to learn.

    But hex\grad people were always “What do you mean [any post] isn’t political??!?! It’s clearly political because [absolutely unreasonable reason]”

    The ragebait/sea lioning was getting too much. Eventually my mailbox was full of those trolls so I just went on a different instance that had both banned and I’m a lot happier. On the downside it’s now closer to an echo chamber but I guess I’ll just browse the memes and random crap then. I can work with that…

    I use Firefox and also got that pop-up. Eventually I just grew tired of clicking the “X” button so I went on uBlock origin and added that stupid banner and the banner background to the blacklist.

    It’s like nothing ever happened. And if shit continues to get worse, either someone comes up with a fix somehow, or I’ll just find a way to run ReVanced YouTube apk on my pc or something. I don’t care if I have to emulate it somehow.

    Also, on mobile GrayJay is a good alternative to ReVanced. Made by LouisRossmann’s team apparently.
