Who the fuck uses instagram for group chats?

But for the Quran, “in public” is sufficient to meet the standard of “at” them?

Hinduism often has a belief in, “sanctity of the cow, … the belief that the cow is representative of divine and natural beneficence and should therefore be protected and venerated” (Brittanica).

One could argue that eating beef is inciting and degrading to [probably a select few] members of Hinduism.

Just checking: this is using a different PrivateKey and Address than the Windows and Android devices?

I do too, but it’s a hard sell for the masses right now. I want Fairphone to succeed but it’s tough.

Their subscription program is even less competitive.

Fairphone sounds great but currently has a poor price to performance ratio

Old Firefox - are you talking about version >79, with no security updates and designed for popular phones of 2019 like the Galxy A10 with 2GB RAM?

8 tabs on the latest FF android uses like 900MB RAM which isn’t a problem for most 2023 devices with 6+GB

Yes, but what does race account for that income and location do not? Unless you’re a racist, not very much.

Why not use income and where you live rather than race, then?

As opposed to…? Are you saying that collective ownership over the means of production would solve this problem, or that under communism people just simply wouldn’t be able to have cars?

I agree with your edit. Those below the poverty line shouldn’t/can’t finance an EV battery. Combustion cars can be purchased for ~$500 and are usually fixable for only a few hundred dollars with enough time and tools. Most engine problems are more expensive in labor than in parts, so almost anyone can fix for cheap with YouTube tutorials. If all else fails, junk yards are full of parts, including engines and transmissions.

Even if EVs may have better reliability, when it comes time to sell it, someone in poverty can’t afford to buy and fix it. The raw materials in the battery are worth too much, and the batteries don’t last forever.

People may not have (or have access to) banking, financing, etc and shouldn’t need to finance everything in their life. Financing is like a tax on the poor.

Hopefully these things change in the future, public transit improves, we make combustion cars cleaner, or batteries get cheaper, but right now it’s the poorest that will be paying most for this environmental crisis.

The original thread was about how houses with pools have more children die than houses with guns. Your point indicated that this was only because guns are less commonplace (sharks are less commonplace than vending machines). However, guns are more commonplace. The guns sitting in a safe aren’t harming anyone. The pools sitting in backyards might be.

Nope. Under 10% of households have a swimming pool, but over 40% of households have a gun in the USA. When we’re talking about owning one as opposed to actively using one, the pool is more dangerous than the gun.

Now, if you just left your loaded gun out in your backyard 24/7, it may be a different story.
