(I mentioned that at the bottom of my post if you had kept reading)

Not everything has to be about earning money.

Early youtube was beautiful precisely because it was normal people making videos as a hobby, not trying to earn money.

This is how it should be lol.

I dont get why its not more common to just buy a pack of beers and a bottle and sit in the parc with the lads.

like who wants to spend half a days worth of salary for some meh beer in an overcrowded bar with shitty music.

(I guess the problem is the US has puritan laws against drinking alcohol outside, thankfully we don’t tend to have the in europe).

Since this came right after a post from !theonion@sh.itjust.works on my feed i honestly thought it was the onion.

Space stopped making sense,

walls laughed,

directions stopped directioning,

the endless maze of hallways became the process of living.

It’s been influenced by both spanish and french cultural erasure to the point modern catalan is quite similar and readable to people who speak Spanish or French. (Though still quite a distinct language).

Definitely just a dumb joke that got taken a bit too literally.

Merci per la idea de negoci. (/s)

Others are tho. For example lemmy.zip blocks UK users from signing up for this reason.

As always to do with Bluesky, Lemmy way overreacting to news exagerrated so much its essentially false.

Yes this has been a known fact for like 30 years. But somehow it feels like no one internalised it so I keep sharing examples.

Probably also a lot of propaganda.

You get told by every mainstream news everywhere on social media that this is an “evil socialist”.

It’s been a trend for atleast the past 30 years that policy wise the average US voter has been way further to the left than the average party they vote for.

I have first name lastname too. And tbh… It’s a bit of a curse.

I have 2 swedish people wirh the same name as me give it to whatever websites they sign up for at random.

(I’m pretty sure its two people, but oculd also be one person)

do you mean the holy grail of

firstname@gmail.com

or the slightly uncommon

firstnamelastname@gmail.com?

It feels nice to feel seen and not be dismissed as a political issue for once. Thanks.

(the latin alphabet is the same alphabet english is currently written in.)

German and Italian manage to be phonetic using it.

You dont need IPA to make it phonetic though:

You can stick with latin and just make phonetic rules consistent so if you hear a word you automatically know how to spell it. Like in german.

People trust the fucking police and army more than unions. That’s just a fucking sad state.

Oh, interessant! Mein Deutschlehrer hatte ein Lernburn aus 1985, vielleicht ist das der Grund, warum ich es so gelernt habe.

I’m armchair Freuding a bit, but I think that’s one of the reasons “Femdom” type pornos seem to be enjoyed by some men.

Like I totally get wanting a woman to take control. But the “femdom” stuff online tends to be degarding, straight up mean. (Which some people like and is okay, but it’s more mainstream than I’d imagine).
