My mom bought a car in my home country for 1.4 million local currency, sold it 2 years and an accident later for 1.6 million because Japanese imports stopped.

Decades ago? This has always been the case. It was the case 50 years ago. Still is now.
I cannot for the life of me remember,
This won't even stop LLMs, ones from countries that don't respect copyright will simply advance past the ones that are. Like a Chinese tech company could simply ignore all that, and what, is Sarah Silverman going to sue Tencent in China? Good Luck. Tiktok uses copyrighted music constantly without permission, yet YouTube Shorts had to set up a system with the publishers. All that copyright laws in their current form do is hamper basically everyone for the sake of a few large companies.
They have a different texture and mouth feel and taste. Also roti (or rather chapati which is the type of roti most similar) is made with just flour and water and sometimes oil. No leavening or anything or salt. Chapati is also much more stretchy and robust.
Honestly, for a while on Reddit, downvote was the only action other than posting comments that I engaged with on Reddit, mostly because I never felt strongly enough to upvote or block or save. And then I went in and seriously prunes Subreddits and basically cut all the Subreddits that I would ever downvote in and the ones that were negativity based like all the Subreddits dedicated to showcasing trashy, racist or otherwise shitty people. Also, any subs generally based in being down on something, even if it was something that everyone should be down on. Also nixed subs like latestagecapitalism because while I broadly agreed with the sentiment, they very vitriolic about everything. Reddit really improved for me since then. Highly recommended, I then spent a lot more time upvoting and commenting. Obviously don't have that problem on Lemmy.
You always get this kind of outrage when you tell people to do anything less. Eat less meat: How dare you tell me I cannot eat meat! I work hard every day at the blue collar job and all I want to do is to come home to a nice steak!
IMHO twitter OP's take basically amounts to climate change denial.
There is less kerosene burned in all aviation in the world than is used in lamps and cookstoves in Africa and Asia. Aviation is really not the driver of climate change. Of all transport emissions aviation is 8% (in the US). 80% is cars and trucks.
Moreover, the aviation industry has a profit motive to reduce emissions because ever gallon of jet fuel saved is money saved.
The same applies to shipping (11% of global emissions), modern container ships are so fucking massive and slower than some wooden sailing ships from the 19th century because efficiency is the only real way they can make more money.
Angry Birds. I bought a ad free version for like 2 bucks and it's the original angry birds with no MTX.
One of the subs I miss the most is AskReddit but as someone who has been a regular reader there for 5 years, every single thread has bot reposted answers that have been kicking around for years.
I suppose Microsoft is glad they didn;t buy SEGA then.
