Oh I see then, thanks for the explanation. I'm not great at understanding the tone of online comments so now I understand better what you meant! Indeed there would be countless other examples throughout history of similar events :)
Most news outlets nowadays are the equivalent of Buzzfeed. They do whatever get them clicks. Journalism is optional. And so is any sense of ethics
If their customers don't punish them by withholding their money/support, their rich owners are definitely not going to push for a change. You saw how the main tech giants bent their knees at Trump's inauguration
Thank you so much for all the related info you provided. Very kind of you!
I already have used several tags in my previous bookmarks, so I doubt that's the issue in this particular case. I might simply have to check the add-ons I have at this point and see if any one of them is creating this problem
I'm on the same boat. But my "what the actual fuck?" moment came when (for those unfamiliar with it) YouTuber Idubbbz came out with a sincere apology for many of his videos that used extremely racist or ableist terms. While aware that his apologies did not automatically translated into being forgiven by the memebers of the groups he insulted, Idubbbz still felt it was important for him to apologize.
And in this situation, Penguinz0 just said that "Idubbbz shouldn't have apologized and it felt like he was exaggerating the whole thing". Way to inject yourself in something that did not involve him at all. Also, that really told me the kind of person Penguinz0 is: someone who dismisses others suffering when it's not his place to do so and someone who just goes off his own gut feelings alone.
I have watched the video and if you think he wasn't being honest, you probably are one of those people you mentioned that fall on the spectrum.
He might've used the tone of a joke, but he's been saying for a while now how he plans to "get back at those who wronged him". Hell, he even said that the GOP is impeaching Biden only because "they did it to him first".
I am shocked people like you think he's not being serious: he's literally telling you.
That's not true. The rich are extremely rich and with immense amount of power and influence, while the working class has little to nothing. That's capitalism working perfectly as designed, my friend
I agree that the beauty of Lemmy is also within the universe of different instances. But a) as you can see in that question that I received, some users might simply not know how/which instance is defederated from X instance and b) I can understand both points personally. But as I wrote at the end, (new) users shouldn't expect a whole instance to go one way when the admins made clear that's not a direction they want to go to
Oh now I understand, thanks for giving me extra details! :)
However, looking at the website you provided it seems like in only the last 2 months this community grew by over 9k (from 11,838 to 21,178 to be specific). We became the second most active instance in the whole of Lemmy
I'm sorry but I'm a bit confused by your comment because the link had more details about the server itself. I feel like I'm missing the correlation with my post
Mental health is never an on/off thing, my friend. It's a spectrum and you could potentially still be relatively high on the spectrum but not high enough for a full diagnosis. Nobody is stopping you from incorporating some more ADHD friendly techniques in your life too :)
I also had to develop the habit of having a piece of paper+pencil always nearby, but now I feel weird without them. The app and laptop combo works great for me but only as a next step. The phone has too many distractions for me so the good old paper works best as first step but then I'll break down the task and organize it on my phone or laptop.
What note app do you use?

...this is quite literally the community about history. If you don't care, you are not obliged to participate :)
Those are more current events, so not really the place for that

Are you surprised the genocidal regime that has been slowly eradicating a whole people for the past 70+ years could go this far?

Because our society says that if you have money, you must have earned it by being smart and savy...and some people still believe that
What specifically did you find shallow?

Best of luck with it to you then!

Lol I have! But I also couldn't bring myself to cheat on Joplin
Hahaha too relatable. My solution was to buy a bunch of tiny pencils and literally leave them everywhere (pants, coats and hoodies included)
