    The rules are simple:

    1. Don’t be a communist
    2. Don’t be not a communist
    3. If you have a car, do not talk about it

    If you follow those easy steps you should be fine

      1. Don’t not hate Capitalism, even as a joke.
      2. Don’t post anything a child can’t understand.

        1. Don’t admit you use Windows
        2. Don’t talk about any browser other than Firefox, Librewolf or a spinoff
        3. Linux, Linux, Linux.

          I always poke those bears.

          “Linux isn’t an OS, but you GNU that.” Haha, gets 'em every time.

          This. I dared to say that I like Brave and I vehemently hate Mozilla and… Oh, boy…

            Hanging at dawn then?

            I try to use Firefox and Librewolf as much as I can, but the fact is that I’m a student and the websites my school uses for certain classes do not work on Firefox/Librewolf. I’ve also run into issues with certain other websites not running right and then when I switch to a chromium browser everything is fine. I don’t have the knowledge to properly troubleshoot if the problem is on my end or just a shitty website, so it’s just easier to use Brave when I need it.

      The car thing is insane, even when you explain that you live in as regional area with limited options AND that I can drive to work in 20mins vs 60mins on public transport, you still get yelled at.

        Just check the 15min-Town idea created in France.

        We must realize that most actually town-concepts and public transport are build to seduce you to buy a car. (Mostly in western countries, where the car industry is one of the main successors.)

        Oh the market is 40 min away and outside of the town and the bus only drives every two hours, well better buy a car or get lost.

        Back to the 15-min Town, the concept is, there is everything you need for living (market, doctor, schools etc.) in an area you can reach in 15 min without a car.

          Australia, 7.8M Km², 26M people.

          France, 0.5M Km², 65M people.

          You can’t compare rural France and rural Australia, the cities sure, build your 15min cities anywhere the population density suits it, but it doesn’t work in regional Australia.
