FarraigePlaisteach@kbin.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•She scolds me about not buying anything in the bar we hang at45·1 year agoName-calling isn’t necessary at all, if that’s what happening. That said, would you behave this way in a restaurant?
I organise a small group gathering at a local pub sometimes with people who aren’t close friends. If it’s just one person not buying in a decent sized group, then it doesn’t cause a problem for the venue as far as I know. When we’re huddled in a corner it’s hard to tell who has what drink.
But you simply wouldn’t get away with that if it wasn’t for the others buying drinks and we do so to “pay the rent” so to speak. So when that happens there is a vibe of “I’m fine with you guys covering me here”. Saying “I don’t spend money in bars” isn’t that different to saying “I let others spend their money at bars”.
Now if this was a group of good friends, or someone I knew was struggling financially, I’d be fine with it.

Update: I see a few differences. It’s mobile friendly and is more simplified in some ways. That’s all good. They say to expect breakage so it mightn’t be as stable yet.

FarraigePlaisteach@kbin.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What lesson that you didn't see when you were younger and now can see, you would teach to your younger self?4·1 year agoTake the time to develop more understanding, and therefore empathy for yourself and others. You’ll never truly do anything worthwhile without empathy.

I wish I could believe that. I think most Israeli’s who destroy the lives of Palestinians will enjoy it without consequence.
FarraigePlaisteach@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.world•Sellafield nuclear site hacked by groups linked to Russia and China7·1 year agoThat’s really serious. The hackers seem to have achieved almost total coverage, which sounds as if they could influence any operation at the plant. And the staff coverups since 2015 (at least) just compound the issue.
My first thought reading this was “humans just aren’t ready for nuclear”.

FarraigePlaisteach@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.world•Candy company Mars uses cocoa harvested by kids in Ghana, CBS News investigation finds41·1 year agoAbsolutely true. But under what system is there significantly less exploitation? Too many people are selfish, cruel or both.
FarraigePlaisteach@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.world•Candy company Mars uses cocoa harvested by kids in Ghana, CBS News investigation finds61·1 year agoThat’s a silly comparison. Chocolate is ubiquitous in Western society. Ferraris are not.
Does that third also take into account any differences in manufacturing them? In other words, the entire lifecycle.
