Well, now I need to choose between dictatorship with a free speech and without. What are my options really.

If those kids could read, they’d be very upset.

I thought we were building a better reddit here. But turned out we’re building an echo chamber where snowflakes can whine to each other all day long. Not sure what this really achieves as 99.9% of them always agree with each other.

Political activism is only valid if it actually reaches someone who disagrees, and when done in a way that it might convince the other party to at least consider your points.

Lemmy fundamentally fails at both simultaneously. Kinda explains why US politics is such a shitshow.

There was a pond called reddit. The water got too warm and all the yellow frogs migrated to the swamp nearby. They now claim that if you’re not a yellow frog, there’s something wrong with you, and they’ll kick you out of their swamp if you don’t turn yellow tomorrow.

Is a french flag fine? I don’t have any other at hand

It’s a bigger echo chamber than any niche reddit community. Literally a hive mind.

It’s their private website, they do on it whatever they want. Right, lemmy?

You can run your own federated streaming service that will have no ads and will be free of charge, yeah?

I mean, he’s kinda right though. Dems are known for suppressing free speech. Look at lemmy, it’s 99.9% blue and you once say something like “Trump gud, illegal immigrant Kamala bad” and instead of a factual argument with a birth certificate attached, you just get a ban.

Dems want an oppressive regimen where everyone who disagrees with them is silenced. So, I understand why he’s worried.

And if this does happen, you’ll see lemmy cheer. Lemmy values free speech and independent opinion only when it aligns with their.

The other day someone on lemmy kept trying to tell me that if google wanted to shut down ad blocking they would. But they don’t, so it’s ok.

Lol, spawn me that person plz.

Here’s a pro tip: sleep a lot the day before, and ideally the day before that too. On the important night don’t exhaust yourself with gaming or whatever, but don’t force it. You’ll end up sleeping maybe 4h, but if you slept well the previous two days, you’ll be fine.

Sleep deprivation only really shows over prolonged periods of time. You can ace a lot of tests with the above method.

Jeez, you fools. How about rolling into the lab at 11, drinking coffee till 11:30, have at most half an hour to reminiscue about yesterday’s failures, while looking at results well-knowing they’re unsalvageable, and then going for lunch with the crew?

If you start your day at 8:30, you misunderstood that it’s not your paycheck that makes a PhD great.

some? How about better thermals, better battery life, and a better integrated graphics?

That’s cuz you never had a proper napolitan pizza you uncultured swine. You’d never open your mouth about pizza again, or call anything you can buy in your America a pizza.

For those peasants who’ve never heard of olio peperoncino

If you jump high enough you’ll end up on mars cuz the earth is moving hella fast. And so does the whole solar system. The secret to space travel is just jumping high enough at the right moment.

Tourists are not culture. They’re a zombie plague.

I promise you, if you move there, learn Spanish and start working for a local company, you’ll learn that people there are extremely welcoming to foreigners.

But if all you want is an Instagram shot in the same spot as the other 16 million people who visited just this year a city of 1.6m, and an “authentic” paella (you won’t get an authentic one, trust me, but you’ll be told it is and you’ll keep bragging about it to your colleagues once you return from your vacay, even though the thing you tried tastes nothing like what a paella should taste, digression end), then you bring a negative cultural value. You’re an annoyance, and a one that’s not worth whatever financial benefit it brings.

One could also argue that most of your financial contribution goes to making hotels and landlords richer, and nobody really needs that.

So, I’m with people of Barcelona who paint “fuck you tourists” on their walls.
