Def depends on where you go. As a german who has visited most European countries at least once, and a bunch of others as well, I found my preconceptions confirmed more often than not.
Or in a case where I went without any due to deliberately not looking up any information beforehand I was severely let down. Looking at you, Serbia.
“Weekly action report!? Oh, that means war for sure”
Probably, though I really don’t want politics being shoved into a literal shitposting community without any prompt in the op either way. I have my own political issues to worry about over here in Germany and have only so much mental capacity for gloomy copeposting now that trump was re elected.
There is also a wide range of communities available for political venting elsewhere, why does it have to be a non political post in a shitposting community? Where am I supposed to go if not here to avoid that stuff?
For the next storage revolution go with the opposite of your prediction maybe
Can we have one fucking post without american politics getting shoehorned in?
I get it’s important to you but perhaps keep it to topics or communities at least somewhat related. You know, for the two people in the world not living in the us.
For that time when you look at your motion detector alert footage, but are unsure whether you are looking at a package or a person?
I only moved to Linux myself last year, and went/stuck with bazzite. I use my computer for gaming, browsing the Internet, consuming media and occasionally some basic office work, which all work just fine right out of the box.
I haven’t even had to use the CLI much yet, and am still very inexperienced using it, but the fact that I am able to use the OS as my daily driver without any real need for the CLI should speak volumes to its user friendliness.

Brown note? 👀
I would immediately try to weaponize it. Spend a weekend making putin telepathically shit his brains out without pause should probably be enough to make him die from the sheer loss of matter and nutrients.
As a daily smoker, yes.
Though I will contest that it is largely psychological, when i go on a break after a couple days of poor sleep and appetite i am back to normal.
Wait am I still on the left side
In short, the authoritarianism happens because it requires a large amount of power to make the societal changes happen in the first place, which would then give rise to a generation that can maintain the system without overreach.
Now the problem obviously is that humans are corruptible, and very few people in the history of our species have ever been given totalitarian powers and not abused it for their own power and benefit.
My participation has dropped a lot compared to when I only just joined. There is only so much us centric doomer content I can stomach, and Lemmy is so extremely political that it is impossible to just browse cat memes and have a good time. So I spend less time here I suppose.
I mean, thats asking the fox what he did in the hen house, to coin a paraphrase. Chinese citizens are generally very nationalistic and have a very skewed perspective due to the near total control of information the government has.
Your first mistake was choosing to debate one of the most argumentative people on Lemmy. Can only get weird from there
Literally thousands of hours in stellaris and space engineers. Recently satisfactory as well.
When I was younger I also played a metric fuckton of world of Warcraft, though that thankfully is a lot less addictive nowadays.
I feel very sorry for the beggars where I live but also hate them with a passion. I can’t go for groceries without two or three hawking the entrance to the store, ready to barrage anyone who looks mildly compassionate with sob stories.
Worst I got taken was by a young woman who looked very in need of help, asking me to buy some food for her family. Gullible me thinks alright, I can spend 10€ on some kitchen staples so these guys don’t starve over the weekend, and took her into the store. Woman proceeds to absolutely stuff her basket with expensive meats, brand laundry detergent, diapers, to the point she literally can’t carry the fucking basket any more. Cost me almost 120€ in the end, about 6x what I spent on food for myself.
Ever since then I will immediately recoil from anyone asking for help beyond the “classic” sitting quietly on the ground with a cup in front of them, because my scam alert has been readjusted in a bad way. I suppose I resent the woman more for destroying my compassion than for the money she tricked out of me.
He’s remembered as a figure who wanted to kill all of Parliament
and return the nation to an absolute monarchy.
Why is carcinization suddenly being referenced so much?
Probably because the dark magician would just look like some random homeless dressed in weird robes, sifting through garbage.
