42 million people suddenly not receiving money for food would certainly have some impact on the overall market would it not?

Aside from the politics of the situation, and being solely pragmatic

Should everyone prepare for the worst eventuality?

It is odd that you would assume there would be no theft increase. Survival isn’t a mark against a person’s character

Desperate times call for desperate measures

When it comes down to a basic choice of paying utilities or paying for food when both are needed it is easier to steal food than utilities

Life generally takes the path of least resistance

Certainly, I believe most people would avoid theft if possible, but when faced between dignity and survival it may be an easy choice to steal from those who are objectively price gouging

Though this is is going into a steep tangent while focusing only on theft and does not address the overall question

Genuinely controversial or just bad?

The Lost finale is probably both

Unrelated, just realized how the advent of streaming has changed the way we talk about past TV series.

Before streaming we would say the Lost finale was

past tense, because it had finished airing

Nowadays, no show really finishes airing so it’s discussed in a present tense

Sorry, I’m old

Defragmenting…

I just recently saw a video where it was the distributor that was causing the crankshaft position sensor error to throw

I never would have figured that out

Getting ready to do another one myself, the part is in transit

I’ve done quite a few of these over the years, I’ve never had one with its own wire like that. They’ve all had a plug on the side of the sensor to plug the wire into

Is this one located in an otherwise difficult to reach location?

No. Oddly enough I don’t support genocidal delusions of grandeur

Yay me. Got my first comment removed on Lemmy.

What an honor, especially considering it broke none of listed rules here

“With all due respect, throwing around the term genocide in relation to Gaza is deeply offensive to many Jewish people who have suffered actual genocides.

Yes, solid reasoning. New genocides can’t exist because there were old ones

Pretty sure there have been many genocides since WW2

Is this how we all get AIDS?

Obvious plot twist: he did not shoot himself

Makes me wonder what Ukraine could do to force mobilization without increasing (maybe even decreasing) Russian public support for the war

That seems like the quickest way to end the war favorably for Ukraine

Really? Sounds like it’s been there the whole time

Venison, and for the same reason as lamb

Spez has been laser focused on trying to make reddit profitable

His actions speak like he hired some kind of machiavellian ham fisted axe wielding corporate consultants to make that happen

…but at the same time, Spez also want to fully control the main political narrative on Reddit as another revenue stream

Probably a good thing they asked volunteers interested in the study to do it instead of someone such as yourself, who isn’t.

I remember the researcher saying that it took some time for the participants to get used to the routine of being mindful of their thoughts and journaling at the drop of a hat

I know I wouldn’t want to do that either
