Please send help, fascists don’t give up power easily.

Actually, most countries that could actually help are hoping to see you burn… because they’re your biggest contenders in world domination.

It didn’t used to be like that… but you had some horrible decisions made (or not paid attention to is more like it) over the years and this is the result.

Generally speaking, most people are just uneducated. Thus, that is fixable. And you can even get a lot out of mentally challenged people if you work with them a lot.

A better education will, at least partially, solve the problem… in the long run, of course… but the long run is like 20, 30 years from now. Things might get a lot worse by then and beyond fixing.

Things perpetuate and there is no fixing this. The real issue is capitalism and money. You can’t have an incentive to care about the people and how they are raised and educated if the only true incentive in this system is money. There is money in education, of course, but there is so much more from taking advantage of stupid people, regardless who does it (big tech, politicians, fast food chains…).

The education system in the US is screwed beyond oblivion, that’s why this is happening.

And it’s not just the US. I live in the Balkans and things are… well, very bad to be honest. We have the lowest average IQ in Europe.

The problem is, stupid people benefit both sides, left and right. They’re easy to control, as voters. No one wants voters which can think critically.

Democracy is flawed IMO. There is no fixing this. People do rule, but at what cost. There are alternatives, but, let’s face it, none of that will be implemented, at least not in our lifetimes.

We call them NPCs here sir.

Especially kids with BMWs.

It’s basically an indicator if your body is producing coagulants in higher ammounts than it should be.

You probably just bumped into something without noticing, it’s probably nothing to worry about.

Though bruises appearing out of nowhere, by themselve, may indicate a serious illness (I’m not gonna mention it so you don’t get spooked), so it’s best to see a doctor and do some blood work, including D-Dimers.

I just mind that memes get deleted for no apprent reason… sometimes they give a reson, most of the time, they don’t. I mean, come on, it’s a joke…

But whatever. If people here are happy with what they get out of stricter moderation, hey, who am I to judge.

It is possible they are young and searching themselves, yet to understand how the world and online discussions work.

Yes, that is what I meant when I said young.

lemmy.ml is not as nearly as bad now, lemmy.world on the other hand…

I believe OP is young and just more into philosophy than politics… ot maybe a combo of both. I know a time when I was like that, so it’s perfectly normal.

But, unfortunately, yes, there are very few individuals out there that communicate on that level.

And if that eventually happens, other problems will follow.

I kinda like it the way it is. I also use Reddit, so that kinda balances things out I guess.

Torx, yes, hex, no.

Basically, a fraction of the intellectual workforce. Everyone else has to: medical professionals, carpenters, builders, civil engineers, electrical engineers, server hardware maintenance staff (in some cases, also the IT personel’s job), plumbers, clerks, social workders, barternders… there’s a lot more that need to actually show up for work.

Well, it wasn’t obvious to me.

Some people do actually need to physically be at work… in fact, it’s how most work is done. Just because some are devs/IT workers and see no need to actually show up to work, that doesn’t mean the rest of the world keeps on turning without maintenance.

Ummm… I must’ve missed a lot after the jeans thing.

Exactly! 😂

Or you just lay in bed at night and just try to properly edit the score notation to a song you really like, but it’s kinda niche, still all your friends know it, and then brag about it when you meet up “yo, check out my ringtone 😏” 😂.
