If a plausible zombie virus were to exist, it would definitely be those long-incubating stuff

They’re not even using thorn rn why are they still downvoting this guy?

I am the same, but I got diagnosed with ODD lol

I remember when ICE took down Zlibrary…

Knowing all you can about cats!

Light Novel Titles:

The rich are never satisfied, and they’re always in competition with other rich people. That’s why even if they have the best life they’ll always seek for more even if they make people suffer.

Why this question?

You know how the Romans collected taxes in there less “Roman” providences?

Well that would certainly explain why the tax collectors get such a bad rap in the Gospels.

Pretty sure it’s a bit related… And there’s nothing wrong with learning a bit more about history

Students, especially in the Philippines and some 3rd world countries. You can basically use Messenger and Facebook without data, just without images or video. For the sake of accessibility schools tend to use these services.

I am one of those people who are forced to use these social media for school.

Using thorn is pretty innocuous (even though it’s mostly used incorrectly), pretty sure I saw you or at least one of you. The fact people will downvote thoughtful responses just because the way it was delivered annoys them shows a lot about humanity. And especially when people hunt down your comments to downvote them, even when there’s no thorn at all. People tend to do more annoying stuff that is way more inconvenient than using thorn, and I’m talking about certain internet etiquette practices.

Welcome to the fediverse!!

Okay wtf do elaborate

I am stealing that too

When people say that higher grades don’t make you successful, many don’t realize that that probably means students who sacrificed their performance on school assessments to challenge themselves, work on personal projects and gain experience rather than trying to get a perfect assessment score in school. A portfolio is more important than grades when it comes to applying for jobs.

But don’t they use Portuguese?

I’m sorry for blowing up on you. It’s just that I feel powerless and I feel like it’s hard to change anything if I do things more directly. I’ve been trying to get people involved but it’s so hard to get the momentum going that it tends to fizzle out (kinda like c/Philippines). I really wanted free internet to be a thing here in my country (not only that, we pay more for lower quality internet cmp to other countries due to underdeveloped infrastructure) so that it would break the monopoly of facebook but I’m not sure if they’re doing their promise. I’m just used to my actions not having an impact unless it was supported by some external circumstance. Like how Lemmy became popular because of an external event.

Apathetic attitude? Not everyone has the privilege of having ever been under an authority figure who actually cares about their job. My university can’t even bother to fix their drainage system, my city has had its reputation dragged in the mud on national TV for its shitty (literally) garbage collection system (btw, I still see NOTHING came out from the publicity), even though people have been complaining about these for months. Do you seriously think they’ll take my opinion seriously? If I try to rally people to my cause, which would most likely be on Facebook, people would just snarkily say I’m overreacting and that I’m a hypocrite for using Facebook (which is the only way I could reach them in the first place). Even when I complained about the drainage system I was being name-called and insulted by someone who thought that making any demands to a school as a student was being entitled and what did I get out of it? Nothing! Do you think the geriatrics at the upper level even care about privacy or information? They still admire Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg goddammit! Have you ever had to really fight for a cause? Because you are painting an unrealistic landscape that I’ve never been able to see my entire life.

It is not feasible unfortunately, and if I were to put that as a complaint, I would most likely be called unhinged, out-of-touch, or trying to discard a perfectly usable system. We can only raise questions and influence people as of now. Besides, the reason why Messenger is popular is because of the freebasics service which allows people to use Messenger for free.
