Fan of breaking echo chambers by being devils advocate. Other than that, centrist. As in in USA I’d be considered left.
Yeah duuuuh. Women leave their claw marks everywhere, blood splatter, and oh my god throw that tampon to the trashcan it’s literally there for that reason!
But also yeah duuuh, men take personal offence at the idea of not pissing all around the stall, and washing hands has to include splattering water, somehow, behind the stall. Also never manages to drop the paper towel to bin.
We are all terrible lil shits <3
Dunno if it has some funny, wide-area name in my country but my parner and her mother simply say aunt visits them. xD
Hey, what you descibe is a power user. And that’s valid, but power users also don’t tend to have problems with linux, and they ain’t anywhere close to majority of computer users. Also, to even download a game nowadays you need to have store installed so that’s crossed out, and then game drivers are installed by the store so (or added to cd installer in ye olde times) so wtf you on about.
But again. You are power user. Linux is, IMO, better than Windows for power users because you can do whatever with it. Windows is, however, better for granny, weird office lady and that quite dense kid who, while wanting to use computers, cannot be bothered to learn anything more than where the web browser icon sits.
Is it? For most users, windows takes care of absolutely everything and if something lacks, just google, download and done, especially because most software is written for windows. With Defender they even removed need of antivirus for a normal user.
If something lacks on Linux, half the time you need to say hello to console. You also need to learn about software alternatives, because there’s high probability that the default, well known option won’t work.
To both of which most people will say no to from the very start.
Poland. It’s not that summer is amazing - it just sucks the least.
It’s hot and everything wants to eat you, but it’s colorful and sunny and summer nights are ahhhhhh…
Autumns tend to be pretty. And rainy as hell. Meh.
Winter was pretty when I was a kid. Nowadays it’s autumn, minus pretty and plus balls freezin off. No snow, fuck you.
Spring is wet and green, but also cold. Good contender against summer, barely loses IMO.
Edit: Additional context - when it gets cloudy and grey in Poland, it gets fucking uber depressing. I dunno what it is, but almost can feel thr grey communist past creepin up…
Worked shortly nights on a gas station. 12h shifts. Went homr and slept like a baby. No regrets because not full job, I averaged 140h/momth.
It was glorious…but I am a night owl xD
Seen this in the wild where I live. Post reminded me of it. xD
Edit: Forgot context. Proudly displayed hiring advertisement on a wall of market known to be overworking it’s employees. A lot.
And I’m not even 40!
Oi, I am planning on using edge when I switch to linux xD
Except you give consent in advance for warrants by living in the state and thus agree to it’s laws, whether you like it or not.
As a teen came to conclusion age is just a number and this still holds. Met smarter, more conscious teens than most of the adults I know and met more childish and dumb adults than most of the teens. The only thing word “adult” connects with for me is conforming with what others expect of you at the cost of your own happiness
Screw that. Gonna frolick in grass, learn new shit, do sports or jump into puddless and see how far I can make them splash ;p
Using Edge daily. I like it, it’s comfy, it doesn’t hog all resources like chrome.
I admit I had to learn more about USSR during our convo. And however much I hate admitting this, it would me insincere of me to not admit USSR had more sensible politics internally than I thought when it comes to food. They were, however, still insanely brutal and sadistic regime while dealing with anything comparable to opposition to their goals. So yeah, thanks for broadening my horizons, but please never state USSR was in any way or form good guys. They massacred, murdered, invigilated and abused, not unlike Nazis, at least in Poland.
Checked with my friend and checked few other sources on this. Friend, who studied history, knew about these - other articles also mention that such tries were held, and the Nazi hate towards communists is known to me, however the reason why it failed is different for each point of reference I have so I am unsure what to make out of it. Still, learned something new. Thanks.
Western Powers did, in fact, take offense. But it was too little, and Poland fell quicker than anticipated. Also, Polish goverment didn’t collapse so wtf are you talking about - it went into hiding but was still very much active. And it’s kinda hard not to see Soviets as aggressors when they also attacked and massacred Polish side and were comfy enough to, after “freeing” land on their way to Warsaw, just sit outside it and wait for Nazis to do their cleanses. -.-
Feeding those who need it? That’s why people died of hunger under USSR? Yeah, in Russia they took care about theirs. Every country other than Russia was, however, at best ignored, at worst plundered. And yeah, there were stores - famously empty stores. I heard about them from my family members, about the lines, waiting whole day, about exchanging goods for favors among people. Also, I am not from US and trust me, I am not seeing them as paragon of virtue either.
People were incentivised to basically snitch on each other for any and all hints of not following what the “glorious” USSR wanted. So it was common that people used them to go higher in standing or get what they wanted. Especially folk who liked the newfound power that USSR granted them over their neighbours.
I know they hated each other and never said otherwise. But they cooperated to fuck everyone else. Only after Nazis attacked USSR, did USSR move against Nazis.
What in the everlasting embrace of god. Soviets, who - I’ll admit - simply chose to work people to death painted as the good guys? The same soviets that starved, beaten and let people freeze to death? The same that put people in cattle wagons and rode them out to syberia in nothing more than clothes they had on their backs?
There are at least 5 places around me that have only FB account for news lol. No physical bulletin, no mails. And it’s kinda normal for small, local buisnesses like bars, milk bars, fast-food, activity parks etc.
Aaand it connected via neighbours 0000-passworded network
Lemmy’s Rookgaard. After 30 comments, you’re forced to register somewhere else.
Was raisied with everything - media, people, history teachers - calling them Indians and I automatically look for context each time lol. With no context, native americans are the default for me, with people of India being called simply peopple of India xD
Doesn’t help my native language has another word for people of India than Indians. xD
