  • I wonder if it’s sensational or it really hits. Some pieces of grocery felt off my list, but since Centrobank measures and completely unobvious pricing of goods (sales, loyal customer cards, new noname brands replacing those who ‘left’, normalizing poor men’s stores - warehouses where items are staying in storage packgages and employees are minimal to cut prices down) and a long-term habit of prices keeping cimbing at ridiculous rate, it’s not the breaking point. How it would hurt the big players tho is the question because big firms cutting their wants = unemployment, and their budget is as challenged. When I drop another portion of meat from my diet, they drop a dozen of employees off.

    My perspective is too small but I’ve noticed an old off-tone joke reposted more frequently.

    Dad, you having your wage cut means you’d drink less?

    No, my pleasure. It means you’d get to eat less.

    For what it seems, there’s still ground for maneuvers in average Ivan’s grocery list. More lifehacks and thrift options are discovered by many. The frog is boiling on slow fire.







  • That’s how majority-vik party becomes the government on display.

    Denying big powerful entities from controlling you is both anarchist and communist, and is based.

    I’m sure if it comes to being ruled by Meta, many previously .lm users would get it.

    From the side of Fediverse, there’s like no argument to accept Facebook but WE NEED TO GROW. And no, the influx of some millions of users won’t bring life or quality to Lemmy, it would replace it for what culture of communicating is in the Insta. And I don’t feel like many people there would vote to have this.

    Once you accept it, your community is overtaken (and you need to serve another thousands of users as an admin). I don’t feel anyone would be open to include them.








  • I am on board with creating less violence but I weight it with not creating the ground for more violence in the future. Would violence stop after getting ceasefire now? Won’t it repeat? When it started in 2014 but then came to a slow burning everyone forgot about, it set a precedent that one may do that with minimum repercussions, and so it restarted anew in 2022. And so it may once again until doing that would be impossible for one reason or another.

    Global MIC is evil but that’s a different issue. It should, in my mind, being fought against with international treaties for disarmament and creating allianced armies like NATO so no one would have or need it’s own military. But it’s a long game and we are likely to die from heatwaves before we agree to give up bombs.


  • This came to a logical problem of naming a coalition by several group names’ initials. And a very loose one at that. I felt the same about the flag updates.

    It is a conclusion to what they stand for and why they are created – to get united under one banner to be seen – but at the same time it counters that in how it is disunited in these exact banners, also to be seen and recognized but individually. And a rainbow flag, iirc, wasn’t meant to mean something by each colour in it, lol.

    I feel like switching to the name and a flag that don’t include that self-expansion and would just stay the same would be better – but then I catch myself realizing it is nothing other than creating another acronym\flag and asking to be argued by those who promoted these expansion for I deny their effort to gain visibility.

    Shit’s a mess.
