Not an American, but yikes does this have “Vote with us… Or else!” vibes.

That’s not to say I support Trump, but I personally don’t think this is the way to convince fence-sitters at all.

Noooooooooooooooooooooo

Don’t make it triple A, make it indie or at least from a smaller studio. It will be more of the same slop with nothing inovative if it’s AAA :(

Same

Afaik it used to be the Saharan Jungle when the world was a few degrees warmer

In Eastern Europe even the most illiterate citizen of a town/city knows the neighborhoods and where they are in relation to one another, if that’s what you’re asking.

Video Games, friends and my dream of buying a sailboat someday to sail around the world.

Add migraine aura to that list. It sucks.

As the shortest person in most Basketball games during my childhood, I would have loved this so much! I enjoyed the game very much, but I always had to work twice as hard as my taller friends.

Depends on the part of the world you live in. I’m that age and coworkers (!) constantly joke about having to find me a wife and find it a bit odd that I’m not even in a long-time relationship yet.

I had this colleague a few years back who was 28-29 at the time, and people were bad-mouthing him because he wasn’t married, saying that something must be wrong with him. Societal pressure is very strong here.

You wouldn’t believe this is happening in the EU, right?

These exist and are widely used in rural Romania. Even public institutions like schools and town halls use these there. They’re not the worst you can get though. About 10-15 years ago you’d also stumble across houses that had no toilet paper, just newspapers. You were supposed to wipe with those. Not a fun experience!

It sucks. As a dude, I feel it’s almost impossible to balance being confident and approaching women you don’t know and also not being a creep or bothering them. I’m not the best but not the worst when it comes to looks, I have many friends of different genders (shoutout to my enby fellows who have to deal with this mess and also discrimination) and I’m confident in most things I do aside from dating. It’s gotten to the point I just won’t ask women out due to anxiety over coming across as a creep or bothering them, and instead endure loneliness. Which is not great, but it is what it is.

That must be horrible! Did you move far from your old home? She might try to make her way back there if it’s close enough

“Angry bitter pathetic woke feminist betraying the white race by refusing to grow up, who actually wants to have kids but is too ugly to attract even a beta cuck”

God I feel filthy just writing that, I can’t imagine how people are okay thinking things even a quarter as nasty as that.

I like the way you’re thinking

A tad perplexing.

If Reddit pulls these kinds of moves two more times or so, I’m 100% certain Lemmy will have all the niche communities you’d ever want. This place is much better!

Who would have thought that relying on fossil fuel from a country invading the middleman between you is a bad idea? I’m shocked!

From what I’ve seen, there’s a big divide amongst the tankies. There are those who are basically Stalin MAGA, base their political opinions on Soviet aesthetics and don’t consider much the practical implications of their actions. Some simply lash out against mainstream liberal ideology and others are just trolls.

Ane the other camp is made of people who read a lot of communist philosophy and are absolutely convinced the only way to achieve an equal society is by forcing everyone into it. This has its own problems, but they at least have an internally coherent ideology.

That’s not to say I agree with either camp. Their ideology promotes a vanguard party which can quickly spiral into “some are more equal than others”. Absolute power corrupts absolutely and all that. But I do understand where the second camp is coming from. I think the path to a better world lies in trade unions and people coming together to defend common interests.

Not an American, but increasing SC members would seem like a good thing to do. The more people on it, the harder it is to stack.

To be fair, I only joined .ml because .world wasn’t a thing when I joined and srlpnk and a few others had closed registrations at that time
