Sup bro?

Indeed First Nations Australian’s had many more “seasons” and Australia being a huge country differwet areas had different seasons.

Well that and these folks never paid their bill, so even if it was gas via “the good guys” they’d get no more gas.

Wait until you cone across MAGA’s who are runimg the entire fucking world :)

Not defending tankies (fcuk Russia!) but they’re a tiny minority. Normalising the appallingly repugnant behaviours of vast numbers is even more repellent. (Ttreatment of First Nations and refugees for example)

You can make your own Lemmy iinstance and be your own censorship police, that’s the difference. Thats NOT an option on Reddit.

Hell, you don’t even have to be on Lemmy, Mastodon, any if the Bins etc can interact bacause they alo use ActivityPub.

There are plethora of instances people don’t federate with becase they don’t agree with them, that’s how it SHOULD be.

I’d quit stop using Reddit quite some tine ago, mostly a philosophical thing. Saw on Mastodon mention about a Reddit (aka Usenet 2.0) like replacement on Lemmy so, here I am.

I had been using Boost on Reddit, so I grabbed that as well as play with other apps like Jerboa, Raccoon.

I’m reminded of Harry Patch

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2009/aug/01/first-world-war-harry-patch

Mr Patch, a Passchendaele survivor, thought all war was organised murder and refused to talk about it at all until a few years before he died,

Like, Joan of Arc, the Knights Templar blaj blah blah, let alone the Spanish inquisitions and various macelvelian Popes

You forgot the last part, people will flock to it. /s

Likely more introverted and make the world a better place for most but Canada and Mexico might be in trouble. Eg here in Australia you’d hope we kick all the US bases out of Australia, which were a bad fucking idea in the first place.

The externalising of the shit show of inevitable consequence of being a dictatorship might be a neighbiir issue eg instead of just rhetoric about those damn immigrants, invade Mexico to sure up the borders. One hopes the rest of the world would rally behind Mexico, except perhaps like minded “bros” like Russia, Hungary, North korea, Vietnam, Camboida, Myanmar etc etc.

Tasmaina, Austalia here, gets to 23c around Christmas where I am.

I’d not live somewhere where it snowed, id not live in the tropics (I used to do the latter from being a kid until it got too much and I left)

You know you’re going to die right ? How do you deal with that ? Philosophically, Stoicism has some of what I need for coping.

I’d also suggest that journalism is mostly interlectual trash that clutters your mind. Really important events will find their way to you.

An example, I’m not an American (i did live there back in the mid 1990s, before I relaised it wasn’t for me) and I will likely Vote Green until I die. I’d prefer a livable biospbere and little better treament of minorities. Others prefer the opposite but their entreaties to get me to think their way won’t work so why would I bother listening?

Journalism isnt really about reporting “news” but selling advertising.

What abimout heathcare CEOs?

I don’t know what the problem is. Is it a lack of empathy? Is it willingness to swallow the bait surrounding conspiracy theories? I

I think it’s education, so many of us are now "educated ", this makes us confident idiots, a superb pinnacle of that example might be Linus Pauling and vitamin C for example.

If my hypothesis is correct, more education wont help.

Empathy is always lacking, just have to look at the refugee debate, its not new. Jews were turned away when Hitler sent them overseas, telling other countries to take then or he’d start killing them,

Japense interment camps in the US in WW2, slavery, endless wars prosecuted on other countries and participants lionised, it’s part of our makeup that’s difficult for most people to overcome,. I’d posit they don’t want to overcome it. . Then there’s the whole treatment of native peoples all over the world. US, Australia, Sweden, New Zealand, Russia and on and on.

The one thing that unites Demorcats and Republicans ? disdain for the homeless, again a lack of empathy.

If somebody you knew like a family member, partner or friend told you they had NPD would you still talk to them?

I’d tell then they should run for President of the US, they have qualities and traits a majorty of people admire…

Nope, just find it better then a corporate shithole.

Capitalism is the extraordinary belief that the nastiest of men, for the nastiest of motives, will somehow work together for the benefit of all."—John Maynard Keynes

Arizona law is clear: no company has the right to endanger an entire community’s health and safety for its own gain,” Mayes said in a statement.

That’s a ridiclious assertion, the entire system is based upon doing exactly that; from private healthare to cars to alchol to guns to processed foods to…

Grew up on enthusiast BBS, Lemmy is like a bunch of them are linked up.

Dislike for profit internet as it must inevitably lead to enshitification, just never had a term for that in the past :)

I don’t have an issue with “toxicity” as i just ignore it, like a dog shit on the side walk. I prefer the “BBS/Usenet format” to Twitter like Mastodon though I am over on Masto and had been there for many years. I don’t participate much though.
