Thanks! I’ll have to check it out when I get back home. I’ll leave this post up as a resource cause I do think there’s some valuable information in here still.

Top Gear UK seasons 1-22

I’ve checked and that’s not true of the public trackers I use.

Ripping. I’ve searched the sidebar for guides but nothing jumps out to me. I’m sure I could find it eventually, but I don’t necessarily want to waste a couple hours browsing if someone knows where to look off the top of their head already. Any help is appreciated obviously!

*unless it’s product is collectively owned by the public and for the public as a civil service.

Lawnmowers only take about 16oz of oil and you can buy 5qts(160oz) for $23 here in the states. So that $23 would last 10 years of oil changes if you replace it once per season like I did.

Not sure what that would cost you in Europe. So maybe that’s where the disconnect is.

How often were you changing the oil in your mower? I own an electric lawnmower now, but before that I just changed the oil once at the beginning of each mowing season.

.world defedirated from this community so .ml and hexbear trolls are looking to capitalize on that.

You’re looking specifically at the metaphor I used instead of the principal. Let’s use a more direct comparison. Operation Paperclip brought more than 1600 former nazi scientists to America to develop technologies that they worked on for Hitler and Nazi Germany. Aeronautics, genetics, medical studies, etc.

I’d imagine that most worked for Nazi Germany under the threat of death or imprisonment, but there’s more than a few that worked enthusiastically for the nazi party given a sample size that large. Am I supposed to respect Josef Mengele and the people that worked under his supervision for the medical advancements made under his cruel and torturous experimentation of jewish prisoners? And no, that’s not a rhetorical question. I actually want you to address that question with a simple yes or no.

Ope, must have struck a nerve 😂

Maybe I’m wrong, but the fediverse and technology like Activity Pub existed long before Lemmy. So irrespective of the “creators” it would have been developed by someone eventually. Do I respect the work that they put into it? Sure. Do I respect them? I guess in some fashion, since they’re human beings. Do I respect their hateful ideologies? Fuck no lol

And Steve Jobs believed he could cure his cancer with acupuncture and dietary supplements. Does that mean that I should respect him because he innovated the iPhone? Lol

Lol. The classic. “I’m not going to read that.”

They’re a pretty textbook example of a tankie group. To even join the instance you have to copy and paste a paragraph from 1 of 2 communist texts and any criticisms of China and/or Russia gets you banned lol. I would honestly not be surprised in the slightest if Russia or China were funneling money to the Mali government to actively encourage radical communist behavior on the .ml domain. Mali was another failed communist country afterall. The .ml users often support Russia in the Ukrainian conflict and act like Western countries are forcing capitalism on the world because sovereign countries like Taiwan and Ukraine are actively trying to assimilate into western culture and establish capitalist democracies. Their proposed solution to another nation choosing to distance themselves from the failed communist autocracies they were part of is to forcibly invade, detain, relocate, and resettle the land with communist friendly nationals.

Unrestricted capitalism is bad, but it’s demonstrably not as bad as the attempts at “communism” over the course of the last century that almost always end up becoming a communist autocracy. (East Germany, Soviet Union, Cuba, Taiwan, Afghanistan, Belarus, Cambodia, Czech Republic, Poland, North Vietnam, Hungary, North Korea)

Communism ≠ socialism.

They have literally zero to do with the reason I can post. My instance is still federated with @lemmy.dbzer0.com

I will never give a shoutout to lemmy.ml for anything. They run a tankie lovefest of an instance.
