While I agree with most of what you said, the stories about Arab countries have some truth to them. I guess those who say that those placrs are safe for women come from an upper-middle class background who go there as professionals or tourists. But for women who come from poorer countries and go to work there as maids, they know the risks of being abused or killed.

I do wholeheartedly agree that more Americans should explore the world (or their own states) to expose themselves to different perspectives and norms.

@xx3rawr@sh.itjust.works

it is sad. and also weird theyre offended for something not directed to them. the person who was being replied to was not offended in the least.

@Gullible@sh.itjust.works

thats part of the joke, which i found funny. exhausting how something witty devolved into this. dont understand where the anger is coming from.

@Gullible@sh.itjust.works

the set up and punchline worked, i think. maybe people are just sensitive to ribbing that involves mild insult about lack of education.

@TheDoozer@lemmy.world

youre kind for providing the explanation. been laughing my head off over this conversation.

Additional suggestions for pc/laptop

ffmpeg for audio and video
pdftk for pdf

Used these for simple tasks, eg cropping/converting movie formats, taking out/combining pdf pages. Both are fast and light and havent failed (so far).
