It’s a swiss story about a little girl who lives and herds cows in the alpine pastures.

And it got turned into a really popular japanese kids anime.

Yeah the pronunciation is german but Japanese people tend to pronounce it Haiji ハイジ.

As a person who is Swiss and has lived a while in Japan, everyone says “Heidi”. I think Heidi/the alps is the biggest stereotype of Switzerland to japanese people, not banking.

A few random ones off the top of my head

Honestly chatgpt with memory is pretty great, although privacy wise I’m very careful with what I say.

If you care about privacy more than your AI friend being smart try Claude or Mistral but that’s a significant downgrade in conversational quality.

And pushing for a better system to break out of this mess. !rcv@ponder.cat

Might consider that a lot of people have alts, maybe even 5+ alts, and there are a lot of bots.

40,000 monthly active users is probably a more useful number here.

Same. That’s what I mean by reusable bag.

Then you probably live in a middle class or rich neighbourhood.

Poorer neighbourhoods usually wouldn’t bother removing unless it was on a window.

Graffiti can be nice :)

In France we get an anonymous code and we can plug it into a website and it tells us if our ballot was counted or not, and if it wasn’t counted why. (markings on ballott, multiple candidates selected for one spot, etc.)

The western countries don’t even have realistic statistics.

The estimates for deaths per million are vastly different than confirmed deaths per million. After 2021-22 we basically stopped testing.

So it’s biodegradable material?

I guess bags for the bins makes sense as a reuse strategy.

Hmmmm. So what happens to the bags after people buy things with them I’m not sure I understand. Why don’t they just stay in the car for next time?

How can people afford to pay for plastic bags everytime they shop though that must cost a fortune and it’s inneficient in so many ways.

That’s not just a… normal thing to do?

It’s expensive to buy grocery bag bags… And they are super inconvenient to carry on the bus or train or while walking.

I signed up and never got the verification email. It happened to basically everyone else that signed up too. Weird. Looks like the “official launch” was actually the “beginning of beta test”, weird how they marketed it as an “official launch”.

Can’t go to shops I’m immunocompromised unfortunately (thanks Covid)

Nope. Now that maccies is gonna get way more customers who will go because they think Trump having been there is cool.

Leninism maybe.

Marxism advocates for a utopia without heirarchy (specifically capitalist heirarchy) where the state withers away. However, I’d note that I differ with marx in one key aspect, which makes me an anarcho-marxist or anarcho-communist. Marx thinks this heirarchyless utopia could only be achieved if we gave the workers power, and had what he called a “dictatorship by the proletariat”, the proletariat would rule in good faith until the state withered away. I think that when any strata of society gets more power than another, they will try to keep it, and they have power on their side, so they usually do. The state exists for two reasons, to keep itself alive, and to benefit it’s upper strata.

Which is why I advocate for achieving heirarchyless and stateless society without Marx’s middle step. Which makes me an anarcho-communist.

In my opinion, the 20th century showed pretty well that “dictatorship (by the proletariat)” does not end up working in the proletariat’s favour. As the proletariat just changes.
