I sure as hell hope so. But I can’t be certain anymore. So much weird, hyperbolic shit has happened or been said in the past 3 months, it makes headlines from The Onion seem reasonable in comparison.

Besides Pearl Harbour, was American soil ever invaded?

Pretty sure The Netherlands didn’t hold elections in that time. Pretty sure England didn’t hold elections either. Or Poland…

And yet Russia isn’t exactly winning either. A smaller country is putting a much bigger country, with a supposedly much bigger, better equipped military, into a back-and-forth stale-mate that has lasted well over a year.

Yes, there is a lot of gung-ho propaganda out there. But if it’s truly completely wrong… Why wasn’t Ukraine conquered already well before the first aid from allies arrived?

You want to have sexual intercourse with Ukrainians?

Out of all the conflicts in the world, Ukraine is the simplest, most black and white one there is. It’s one country invading another, and quite openly stating they want the other country to do as they say, or else.

Ukraine didn’t attack Russia. There are no Ukrainian terrorist cells bombing places within Russian borders. There are none of the things in this conflict that wouid make it complicated.

It’s one country invading another.

So ask yourself; do you condone unprovoked invasions?

Looking more like modern Europe means you’re going to have to fight, maybe even physically fight, the rather distressingly large population of very rascal right wingers your country has.

If your government collapses and it’s not you who’ll stick your neck out for it to be remade in a different way, then there’ll be someone who comes along and remakes it in an even worse way.

That very optimistic, considering what Musk is doing g with AfD, and how they are distressingly gaining power.

Or the right wing situation in France…

I’m up for it, down for it, up for it, down for it. This is me jumping in excitement.

Oh that was already obvious with how he writes his self-proclaimed “snark”.

Repair > replace.

It’s not just about how much money it costs.

Yes, because a foreign climate activist trying to appeal to politician for a cleaner future is the same as an apartheid billionaire funding and endorsing a fascist party to get them elected.

Trump says and wants a lot of things.

But that is a healthy way. I got some real good reaction memes, and they work well in place of the kind of reactions I would have if I were in the same room as someone.

See, written conversations tend to lack the body and facial language interactions that comes with talking to a person in the same room. A good reaction meme is a substitute.

Currently using Voyager on my Android phone. I like it. Quite the upgrade over Boost (which I was using before, as I really liked Boost for Reddit in the before-times).

Don’t like going into Lemmy on PC, though. It looks fugly as hell, and the UI looks like something from the 90s. I wonder if there’s a different way of accessing Lemmy through my browser.

No, I’m setting a perfectly reasonable standard that everyone should follow.

It’s not complicated at all. Stretch your arms out as far as you can. That’s your personal space. No need for exact measurements, and everyone can make consessions on crowded condition. We already do so anyway.

I don’t think it’s that complicated at all.

You have a right to your own personal space, so long as it doesn’t encroach upon the personal space of others. Use your personal space, but also be respectful of the personal space of others, as everyone is entitled to the same rights you have.

Unfortunately Organic Maps doesn’t really work well. I gave it a shot yesterday at work (I work food delivery on bicycle), and it couldn’t find half the addresses I needed to go to.

Same here in Europe.

This is highly irregular for several reasons:

Google adheres to official government positions, yes, but as far as I’m aware the American government hasn’t made the name change official yet. Members of the government have said that they’d do this, but I don’t think this idea has passed any process yet. So then why is Google “updated” their maps?

When Google adheres to official government positions, they are local. In example, when you’re in China and look up Taiwan, it’ll appear as part of China. In other countries it’ll appear as either an independent country or a disputed territory, depending on that government’s official position on the matter. What we DON’T see is something like “Taiwan (China)”, as Google supposedly has no intention on forcing the policies of one government upon another government, and as far as I’m aware the rest of the world hasn’t agreed to changing The Gulf of Mexico to The Gulf of America.
