The government would be the accuser?? Just because a camera is used for evidence doesn't make the camera THE accuser. Civilized nations have a way to fight the camera-issued fine, for example if the photo doesn't show your face.

Sure, though the resource saving ∆ is quite small when adhering to tenet 1 instead of 2. After all, it takes hardly any energy to send a few kibibytes of data across the internet. Even all memes combined use a relatively low amount of energy and storage, since the vast majority of internet traffic is videos and streaming:

In 2022, 65% of all internet traffic came from video sites

A significantly - in the order of thousands - more efficient way to reduce would be by installing an ad blocker. It prevents web pages from loading several megabytes of tracking JavaScripts and you don't lose any functionality.

No, it's a day to marvel at the implementation of the core tenets of saving resources: Reduce, reuse, recycle.

This meme uses the second tenet to its fullest. Just imagine how much energy and resourves would need to be spent to create a mature movie as popular as this children's cartoon. You could use the third tenet, recycling, to create the mature movie by editing Disney's "Lion King" into one but that would still require significantly more resources than just using the second tenet.

Sure but in Buddhism it's still like a trillion years in hell which is more than enough to break you

When purchasing new appliances, choose more efficient appliances over less efficient one's. Replace all your incandescent lightbulbs with LEDs. Limit your use of air conditioning to reasonable temperatures. Choose energy-saving programs for your washing machine and hang your clothes outside to dry when it's warm instead of using a dryer.

Stop driving unnecessarily. If there is decent enough public transit, use it instead of a car even if it takes longer. If the distances are short, use a bicycle. Choose food that causes fewer carbon emissions - locally grown vegetables are the best in that regard.

On its own none of these matter. Combined however they will significantly reduce your emissions. None of these cause significant sacrifices.

Not only should we ban plastic straws, we should continuously ban more and more plastic. First plastic straws, then plastic bags, then plastic packaging. The systematic change will happen either gradually or spontaneously. I prefer the latter but if the former is all we have it must be encouraged as much as possible.

I'm not a Greek expert, I just know what little math has taught me... 😅

The pronunciation thing came directly from Wikipedia because I was unsure how to spell it phonetically in English and then I threw the Greek pronunciation in because that's how it's pronounced in German too (since I am German and was only certain about the German pronunciation): Xi (letter)

Huh? Phonetically it could sound like "ze males" with a thick German accent but that's not what I meant.

I quote:

No one likes xi. It is impossible to write, I mean which great mind thought it would be a good idea to turn a tornado into a letter, simply preposterous.

Edit: I can kinda see where the slur is now, bur that's not how you pronounce (the Greek letter) "xi". Xi is pronounced /zaɪ/ ZY or /(k)saɪ/ (K)SY in English and [ksi] in Greek.

I despise xi males, they have the worst Greek letter.

Forced arbitration and picking jurisdictions is illegal in the EU so that clause doesn't apply to Austria. An Austrian would file in any Austrian court that has jurisdiction for contract/civil matter. Therefore, the section with King County includes:

For All Subscribers Outside the European Union and United Kingdom: [...] You and Valve agree that all disputes and claims between you and Valve (including any dispute or claim that arose before the existence of this or any prior agreement) shall be commenced and maintained exclusively in any state or federal court located in King County, Washington, having subject matter jurisdiction.

But how was life 5 punched?

Looking at Wikipedia, besides the languages calling it cursive it seems there are two camps:

• Germanic languages seem to call it "Writing letters/style" (German: Schreibschrift, Danish: Skråskrift, Dutch: Schrijfletter, Swedish: Skrivstil)
• Romance languages seem to call it "cursive script" instead of just "cursive" (French: Écriture cursive, Italian: Scrittura corsiva, Portuguese: Letra cursiva)

Interestingly Italian calls italics "corsivo" and cursive "Scrittura corsiva" so the Wikipedia page for either has a disambiguation link to the other.

God dammit English why must you copy the French for everything
