Capitalism wherever it is found. Not just the USA.

Or Islam, Judaism, Hinduism or any other major religion.

But no, suddenly I am the maniac for believing that – in reality – we are pink elephants, hopping on the moon and imagining life as we believe it to be true. No one can prove I am wrong. But uh oh, sky grandpa mad.

(/s I don't believe anything. Just making a sarcastic point.)

The petition doesn't seem to be active, i.e. signable, right now.

I assume they meant meat in general. Supposed lab-grown meat aims to be a similar experience, the given answer is self-explanatory.

Btw, you can get lab-grown meat in a reastaurant in Singapore iirc.

The fact that I have negative points for asking a simple question is a textbook example of ideologues' hostility to even the slightest bit of what one would strain to even call 'dissent'. Pitiful.

I'm going to take the rage bait on this one, in hopes that you're not trolling:

No. It's stuff like this, which makes several of your comments here earning downvotes.

If it were "a simple question" you wouldn't whine about getting downvotes. The fact, that you care about votes here and in this context at all is a sign of your "ideologues' hostility" towards contrary opinions. If it were "a simpue question" you wouldn't be so condescending to call downvotes "ideologues' hostility" or "pitiful".

Your "simple question" can still be suggestive and carry a message which clearly show that your intentions are not to neutrally ask a question but to challenge the readers and the common opinion found among them. Given this context, such questions can even seem ridiculuous to ask at all, as the amount of wealth accumulated by wealthy people is insane. (See for example this one of many illustrations: https://mkorostoff.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/ ) In other words: your question seems a bit like rage bait.
Combined with your other comments here, a clear picture cristallises about your opinion on this topic, which further hardens, that it's not just "a simple question".

It's totally fine for me and probably a lot of other users here if you've got a different opinion. If people disagree with you or don't like it, you get downvotes. That's the way of Lemmy. Heck, I'll probably earn a downvote from you. Do I care? No. Not really. Of course it would be nice if we could agree. But I accept that you probably won't like what I've written here and that you're giving me a downvote for that. It's an expression of your opinion. And that's ok.

If you were about to get banned for your "simple question", or your question got removed, then we could talk again about hostility. Until then it's political discourse. Isn't democracy beautiful? ;)

It's more of a slap than a punch.

I assume because they run on windows.

In that case you could pay tuem for their USB A plug-in service.

Some may not have the money for such expenses.

Some may have ethical issues regarding how the CEO invests his profits into military companies. And Spotify makes less money with ads than with the subscription fee.

Some don't want to pay for ad-free Spotify, since the subscription fee is much higher than what they make with ads. They don't see the price as justified.

Some prefer other ways to listen to music, since they have an issue how a plethora of artists don't really benefit from Spotify and are rather exploited. (Okay, those listeners are probably not meant here anyway as they are not affected.)

Some have a problem with such subscription services, especially if you do not own a copy of the music and there is a risk of the music, they like to listen to, being removed from Spotify's library.

Some especially don't want to pay for Spotify if they removed a feature, miss a feature or moved a feature behind the subscription, if that feature was previously available or should be available, because there are some things which are taken for granted or are usually expected and they protest against a business model of "creating value by taking something away".

Some may be cheap, yes.

But surely not all of them. There can be many reasons and it's usually a good idea not to shove all people of group X into a single drawer and judge them in such an inconsiderate way.

Lol, not even Windoof is compatible with all video games.

I hope you're joking.
Obviously that is not the only criteria for the diagnosis.

Besides that, the post clearly addresses introverts.
