@BalpeenHammer@Dave , not intimidate but without checks and balances it sounds like a recipe for disaster.
We generally do want a press we can trust and not one that spreads falsehoods/lies.
@ViperNZ@Ilovethebomb , thinking about it: Shouldn't the country responsible for its sinking pay for the cleanup?
Or like with capitalism, are profits privatized and costs socialized?
Ie is the damage done by war faring countries forgotten and is there no accountability?
@stellargmite@MightyCuriosity , that's the cool thing about Mastodon, most pics have an alt txt, not just for visually impaired users but to add clarity and info.
@eagleeyedtiger@Dave, some vehicles have totally sound motors into the high 200k kms.
(service history and check up is good, also shows what's been changed/new and how long ago)
Check rubber mounts and suspension, they add to a quiet, comfortable drive and a more secure one, they often show wear at around 100 to 120k km, check replacement.
I'd go for a model that sold plenty so there are spare parts if necessary and an economic one (saves money on petrol and better for environment).
@GBU28@JegVilleSeShitposts , all property is owned at the whim of someone else !
The person that chooses to work for you, the customer that chooses to buy your goods, the person that chooses to sell their house, etc ...
You're just a care taker for a short while and if you're mistreating that privilege it should be able to be revoked!
@GBU28@TDCN, really??
You happily can endanger other people's lives but can't have your means to do so taken away?
Same for CEOs of companies going bankrupt: you can take away others livelihood by your decisions but nobody can touch your hording.
That sounds like rich person's privilege syndrome!
@BalpeenHammer , yeah well, no wonder then that people don't want to pay for it !
