Reddit is a really good site - have you tried it Grimreaper? I think they would like you

Newspeak: “In the 1949 dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (also published as 1984), by George Orwell, Newspeak is the fictional language of Oceania, a totalitarian superstate. To meet the ideological requirements of Ingsoc (English Socialism) in Oceania, the Party created Newspeak, which is a controlled language of simplified grammar and limited vocabulary designed to reduce a person’s ability to think critically.”

You already did this one: https://lemmy.world/post/38119616

If they are very devout they have probably been taught that homosexuality is a sin. They didn’t know what to say so went with “that’s nice”

That’s what I would expect anyway.

“The rich are too rich, and the poor remain poor… (and people) lack confidence in their future, so they may be unwilling to have children.”

Sounds like it’s the same problem everywhere.

So question: will people accept the growing divide between rich and poor or will there be revolutions at some point ?

What would it take to make people rebel anyway ? I guess when there is nothing left to lose e.g. already starving to death ?

“I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters,”

Or the support of the press !

Some do apparently or they wouldn’t keep making the videos. Same thing for people who send out phishing emails and other scams. It must work sometimes.

“Spiritual gurus”, “self help gurus”, “crypto gurus”, “business gurus” they tend to be full of shit because if they were as good as they claim they would be making money with their skills and insights instead of making YouTube videos.

Why people fall for it just because someone claims to be an “expert” I will never understand, but I guess you could say the same about many things: advertising, politics, religion etc.

Police and government should not get to decide what we can protest or not.

Because according to Chris Minns, pro-Palestine rallies were to blame for the Bondi attack (it’s definitely not religious extremism everybody!!!).

https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/dec/19/anti-protest-laws-extraordinary-powers-nsw-premier-linking-gaza-rallies-bondi-terror-attack-ntwnfb

“The New South Wales premier wants parliament to grant his government “extraordinary powers” to effectively ban protests for three months, claiming the “implications” of pro-Palestine rallies could be seen in the Bondi terror attack that killed 15 people.”

…

“When you see people marching and showing violent bloody images, images of death and destruction, it’s unleashing something in our community that the organisers of the protest can’t contain,” Minns said.

“The truth of the matter is, we can’t risk another mass demonstration on that scale in NSW. The implications can be seen, in my view, on Sunday.”

It’s weird because the words desynchronize, de-stress, decriminalize mean un-synchronize, un-stress, un-criminalize

So it would seem like depress should mean un-press (let go of the button).

But depress = press !

Don’t really have any local ones.

Does a boomer count ?

Ha ha now this is an answer I can get behind !!

It’s true. With COVID and the cost of living it is has been a bit depressing for the last 5 years.

What can we do to make 2026 better ?

Using a butt plug will mitigate the poo particles.

“Human rights groups said famine conditions in Sudan had been worsened by the Rapid Support Forces looting cities and destroying harvests, while the Sudanese army restricted humanitarian aid deliveries by blocking food shipments into RSF-controlled areas, severely limiting access to life-saving assistance.”

Sounds like both sides want the general population dead.

“Thunberg, 22, was earlier arrested under the Terrorism Act for holding a sign that said “I support the Palestine Action prisoners. I oppose genocide”. The British government has proscribed Palestine Action as a terrorist group.”

The group uses direct action to disrupt the UK arms industry, which it accuses of being complicit with Israel in conducting a genocide. Palestine Action have mounted 45 documented direct actions in the United Kingdom.

“We are concerned at the unjustified labelling of a political protest movement as ‘terrorist’,” the experts said. “According to international standards, acts of protest that damage property, but are not intended to kill or injure people, should not be treated as terrorism.”

The Government asserts that the group is “terrorist” because some members have allegedly caused criminal damage to property, including at military bases and arms companies, with the aim of progressing its political cause and influencing the Government."

Bit dark OP

I wonder if the jerky is good?

Ah so it’s like “I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream”

Scary!

If they can live 150 years without food do they really need help?

Sounds like the elves are immortal to me ?
