Technically she’s carpooling no?
Diesel is sailboat engine are generally very efficient. Most the time she probably spends sailing, but if the wind isn’t strong enough or in the wrong direction you don’t really have another option.
Source: I’m a sailor and own a sailboat
What’s it like being sail?
Windy
It’sail good man, just go with the flow.
Breezy
Aren’t you legally required to have some kind of backup propulsion source anyway?
You do to sail into some ports, for example, but there are a lot of sailing vessels that are pure sail.
I’m sure this varies widely by jurisdiction, but at least in my part of the states no. I just have a (smaller) sailboat and my “backup” is just ors and the coast guard haha
You want to rely on motor in really bad weather, or when you get stranded in the middle of nowhere with no wind.
Even if it weren’t a legal requirement I would hope people would have the common sense and desire for personal safety that they would have it there for a backup. I imagine our knowledge and surveillance of weather makes it a lot easier to sail if you have that information, but you could easily be stuck for a very long time if you only relied on sailing. From what I have read the Mayflower was delayed for over a month at sea due to the changing of the winds.
Not sure about legal requirements but it wouldn’t surprise me
Beat me to it. If the sails aren’t up you just drift if you’re not under motor. If there’s not enough or too much or the wind is in the wrong direction then you don’t have any choice.
My friend usess this argument all the time and it’s so annoying… Why should the wealthy suffer for destroying the environment when you also drive a car…
Your friend is a cuck for the rich.
Probably, like most men his age.
And a little bitch boy
He’s definitely been called that before lol
It’s not his fault though. It’s due to all the techno-optimist propaganda spouted out by various media channels by the techbros and the people profiting off of fossil fuels.
I’m subjected to the same propaganda as he is.
Surely that’s not accurate… I’m sure you haven’t listened to as much Joe Rogan was he has lol.
Is your friend very wealthy?
On a global scale, yeah, probably top 10%
Locally, not really. Just the average American income.
Stop being friends with idiots
See, structures dont exist and there are only differences if kind, not if scale. Anyone who says otherwise is a filthy fucking commie and needs to die in the camps.
So your feiend sounds great. Great friend. Keep that one close. He (because clearly someone i agree with wouldn’t be of an inferior sex) is one of the good ones. Keep him close and never call him on his shit.
Twitter is full of nazis, we don’t need to keep seeing screenshots of genocide enthusiasts to know that.
Everytime someone posts a twitter screenshot, you’re just feeding the trolls. Because someone had to keep using their Twitter account to take the screenshot.
According to this Lemmy user Mastodon systematically removes their anti-genocide posts https://lemmy.world/post/30798872.
Explains why I barely see any anti-genocide content on Mastodon whenever I visit it.
People need to stop thinking that twitter is more credible than 4chan. We need to start trolling reporters with this comparison if any of us ever get the chance.
Sadly Twitter is still the platform with the most journalistic presence, scoops and active community.
I try to use Mastodon occasionally but I do not often find great content on there.
but I do not often find great content on there
Because you’re looking for Nazis saying Nazi shit… You’re always gonna find that where Nazis hang out with other Nazis
What I’m saying is we’re well past the “raising awareness” stage of things.
Pointing out there’s Nazis on Twitter is like saying they’re on 4chan a decade ago.
As far as this:
Twitter is still the platform with the most journalistic presence
I don’t think that’s true, but the reason the last few journalists are there, is because some normal people are still there
Which brings us full circle to why I made the comment about people should stop giving twitter oxygen.
Agreed.
Most non-nazi people there have accounts on either mastodon or bluesky. So if you want to make a point to them by quoting a Twitter post, just screenshot from xcancel.com and post elsewhere.
If you want to make a point to nazi, doing it on Twitter has no use, you should consider do it politically or economically (I don’t suggest physically but technically it works too)
Meanwhile I would say I haven’t found any value on Twitter, it’s just nazi found different way to say same nazi things everyday. After all, medium is the message.
Going to Bluesky is utterly pointless it’s literally Twitter 2.0
Mastodon is the only real alternative but there are few interesting people on there which are not major tech nerds. The signup process is still too complicated.
I think the real issue here is that you just want to keep using twitter. You keep coming up with inane excuses like the lack of “interesting people” on these platforms or falsely equating Bluesky with Twitter. It sounds like the nazi social media is just your preferred space.
You sound like you use neither Twitter nor Mastodon.
I want to use Mastodon. But there is no content.
It’s not though. You can find major scoops on Twitter hours, often days before it gets reported by the news. Reliably from people on the ground and reporters such as @ytirwawi and @ireallyhateyou translating them.
These are nowhere to be found on Mastodon… News sites subsequently add no real info to those stories and often provide even less information than the original posters. Even Jeremy Scahill from Dropsitenews recently pointed out the despite being a Nazi platform, Twitter contains tonnes of content which cannot be found on other mainstream social media platforms.
Remember kids. When you keep using Twitter you are endorsing nazis.
Ah ha, I have pointed out a minor hypocrisy, your entire existence is invalid!
Everyone is a hypocrite. It’s pointless to point out hypocrisy for its own sake.
The other day you said that no one is a hypocrite so what am I supposed to believe now?
Oh, that doesn’t sound like me. I’ve literally never been wrong about anything or changed my mind about anything ever.
Why would you change your mind? Right?
Why would you go Right when there’s all this Left
I’m not conditional soup, but clearly because left is not right.
Well, somebody shit my pants, and it definitely wasn’t me.
It’s that serial pant shitter they got me yesterday too.
It could be if you tried harder… Or just two more times
Only the absolutely perfect can be the enemy of the genocidal apocalypse cult. There are only two lebels of morqlity and no such thing as structural forces.
Is it hipocrisy tho?
Like if you say to someone that says that we shouldn’t use single use plastics for food, that they still use single use plastics for their surgery, that’s not hipocrisy. Context matters.
Of course she isn’t going to deliver critical aid to where a genocide is happening via bicycle
Doesn’t even matter: https://x.com/brianoflondon
Brian got 2.1M views, Bashar got 1M and boosted Brian. Brian won the engagement game.
This is why Twitter should burn to the ground.
indigenous rights activist
Decolonizer
Zionist
Woo lad, the gymnastics of this guy put the Olympics to shame
Engagement are fake statistics. Look at the likes and retweets. Bashar is ratio’ing the Zionist 10x.
Engagement are fake statistics.
Is it?
Either way, being ratioed doesn’t matter. The troll was fed, en masse.
Reminds me about what they used to say about Al Gore on Fox “News”. They said he takes private jets. It’s a bad faith argument because those people then go on to deny climate change. Also he’s a former vice president, I’m sure security reasons are part of that decision. Also if those private jets allow him to be more productive in fighting climate change the net benefit of him using it may exceed the additional carbon generated by the jets.
Greta actually follows this priciple pretty well and does not fly unless absolutely necessary. In this case she is taking a boat which is one of the most efficient ways of transporting goods such as humanitarian aid.
Minor addition - in this case, it’s literally the only possible delivery mechanism. Any other mode of transportation is functionally impossible.
Israel should build a giant railway leading into to the Gaza concentration camp.
For environmental concerns, of course.
That’s a good point, makes what Brian was saying about Gretta even worse.
The first name “Al” has been ruined, my first thought was “they’re making AI gore?”.
I wish fonts made the difference between uppercase i and lowercase L as clear as possible. I don’t understand why most computer fonts don’t put lines above and below the uppercase i like I think everyone is taught in school to do.
Those lines are called serifs, and that’s where the term “sans serif” for different typefaces comes from (“sans” is French for “without.”) That Wikipedia page mentions claims that sans serif is more legible online, but I have not looked into the sources and don’t know enough about webpage design to make any claims about that myself.
Serifs were always considered beneficial to reading fast or for conveying info. This is debated now I think because of course it is. Sans fonts mostly stayed in the headline and ad copy toolbox until shitty screens were shitty at displaying serifs. So they took off and leaked a little beyond their true stature among font styles.
Serifs are better in the same general sense that OpenDyslexia is better as a font for both sufferers and some others. Your brain can do its thing, reading at any speed needs some of that back door stuff like serifs to stop you reading that letter (like Al and AI) and and tossing all that buffer to wonder what the fucking word is.
Just my stoned opinion as a former graphics guy from the print days until Adobe went real extra stupid.
If adding serifs to the I is bad, I think a good alternative is adding a tail to the l (like a t without the bar). Some fonts do this and I’m a huge fan.
He never HAD to take a private jet. Why are you shilling for millionnaires?
meh weak trolling at best
Decent troll attempt, 2/8
