Yesterday, I was reading a thread that asked what's the point of buying a new phone as often as as people do. In the comments there were a variety of answers, but what interested me is that there were a wide variety of answers for how long each person liked to go before upgrading. So I've attempted to come up with justifications...
I usually replace my phone when it becomes impossible to both use the manufacturers version of Android and maintain the illusion that it is my property.
Ford was innovative because he used the scientific method to find out how long the work-week should be from a factory-owners perspective.
And then he set it to that.
If you're a cog in a wheel in a factory that is still the ideal work-week from your owners perspective, sorry.
Everyone, almost, in the EU want Turkey to accept our values and become more us, and would be happy to support it if it had any chance of succeeding. (For differing values of "our" and "us").
I can wear a dress to work and nobody criticizes me. I’d be really sad if I had to wear pants all the time, they’re just not as comfortable. Let’s normalize pretty dresses for dudes!
At some point - its hard to say when - I stopped being annoyed by the fact that the actual instructions for cooking a dish are burried at the bottom of a long, involved backstory and blog post.
I actually read them now... and, beyond all reason, actually enjoy them!
I just graduated optometry school and I feel like I’ve lost a bit of my identity. I didn’t have much free time to focus on the things that make me happy and now I’m lacking inspiration. I can’t work until my license is approved so I’ve had days of doing nothing since May 7. It’s been great but it’s starting to get...

Unfortunately there are people who will trust you if you're well meaning.
Whether or not you have any inkling of how to do what they trust you to do.
Or any intention...
In the present, where we have the opportunity to ask the makes of such knick-knacks why they made them, it turns out that often idle people made the thing.
When you link to a video on here because it's good, don't forget to also post a link to your fediverse thread on that video in the comments of the video so that creators on nebula, youTube, etc. gain an awareness of the fediverse as a place where people talk about and share their work!
example:
We were discussing your video on the fediverse and a lot of people seem to like it: https:// link
I've sort of decided to make a go of making contents for PeerTube, but finding an apropriate instance for someone who doesn't yet quite know what he's doing ...
I just went out to take a closer look at the one spot in my garden where I have goutweed and I notice that they are limited by dense trees, nettles, Clematis, and the occasional application of a scythe.
I guessing you wouldn't want those, so Hosta?
Just note that I have to meticulously fence my Hosta, or the deer will hunt it to extinction.
I'm a patient man but I will admit that if I could I'd kill off all the Clematis on my grounds.
And the clamatis would stop killing my trees and bushes.
Mayby I'm just unlucky, but then again the Clematis had decades to establish itself before I got here.
As for Hosta I'd suggest you choose them for their size. You want them to outgrow the goutweed, but otherwise work well with the space. I'm not sure that the smaller Hostas are tall enough to shade out the goutweed.
As far as I can tell, with the very limited harvests I've had, they all taste more or less the same though.

given how little one vote matter, it seems to me that stripping felons of their right to vote is both petty and counterproductive if the point was to reform them into civic minded individuals ?
Also, seems kind of scary that this implies a future where so many people are in prison that their vote could actually tip the balance ?
