… that is not how race works.
we already ARE the same race. we constructed differences to divide us, elevate ourselves and put down outsiders without having to accomplish anything.
Imagine a world where everyone taller than 6 feet is considered a different social class. that’s race.
I just wanna know if they think CEOs are really really cool or something. like what’s the bannable opinion?
pro landlord?
so… you envision one last boomer dying out and suddenly the sun rises? like who do you think is behind the mass fucking of the public? no one born after 1970?
I’m just bitter because they dont give an option to cancel policy online, they force you to dial a robot and sit on hold if you wanna attempt to cancel with them. so i said fuck that and just removed payment method and let it lapse. but instead they just renewed my policy anyway without asking me, and when there was no payment option they just sent me to fuckin collections! for services never rendered!
you get paid to fuck people, what’s not to like
it’s 짤방 to protect from censorship. blame algo
well said! I should check out Enshrouded. I just bought Factorio after finally learning it never goes on sale, lol. and then immediately got lost in two other gangs, now doing a fourth Stardew Valley playthru
also fyi there’s no hyperfocus type of ADHD; that’s just a broad effect of executive dysfunction
is Evan on Lemmy? he seems like a lemmy kinda dude
yeah that was my first thought, for me it’s at least 35% “isn’t it my turn”
and another big chunk is, “before you continue, there’s some important information i must share that may alter the course of your remaining speech, so i will cut you off as a favor”
why would there be a “final way”?
reminds me of Korean internet, where you need to go through rigorous and complex verification using your national ID to even create an account on a shitty website. and then you need to login daily and post consistently to even unlock basic features. and the points accrue slower than karma; people’s reactions don’t matter nearly as much as just logging in daily and waiting a long time.
Korean website design is by far, hands down, the worst design we’ve ever come up with in the internet. but hey they got fast speeds!
first off, we need to drop this false dichotomy between arbitrary words like patriotism and nationalism. it’s not as simple as “good vs bad” or “moderate vs excess”. you’re talking about two completely different points of pride.
nationalism is pride in a shared identity between people; patriotism is pride in the state of a country. and you ask for my opinion: both are bullshit.
I like how someone referenced schopenhauer. I prefer Sartre. In “antisemite and jew” he wrote about how the bigot, by putting down another group, instantly promotes himself into a group of the chosen ones, the good guys – all without doing anything.
that’s what pride in a group identity often does. elevates yourself based on the accomplishments of others. it’s a substitute for character.
HOWEVER we cannot dismiss all collective pride this way. when a group we actually belong to and contribute to actually does something good, why not be proud of it? the trouble is, the more people you involve in this collection, the less any single individual needs to actually DO to contribute.
that’s why I honestly believe nationalism is less toxic than patriotism: because there can be many smaller groups (nationalism) within a country (patriotism).
the anarchist perspective is that a nation is a PEOPLE and the state is a parasite. patriotism is pride in the state, not the people. why be proud of tapeworms?
arbitrary bullshit, we’re just picking which words to like and dislike now. neither of those words mean what that comic says
I dont think whales ever had legs. the lungs were a neofunctionalization of digestive tissue like swim bladders
sounds like you don’t understand the problem
ugh it didn’t taste good to me and gave me three days of diarrhea. Balut was definitely my worst meal
on Lemmy? you’d get banned? what, do you think CEOs and cops are really, really good? and they ban for that?
why do you say that? seems like a pretty ironic thing to say. found it!
it’s part of a broader conversation on attitudes towards substance use on lemmy. I’m saying i see inconsistency in the attitudes in lemmy between one drug and another, such that alcohol = good drug; nicotine = bad drug. and we seem to see no hypocrisy with this!
none of you seem to consider alcohol a drug. I’m absolutely disgusted that you guys think you should be able to buy drugs with money intended to prevent starvation. YOU can fuck right off with that.
how about heroin, you wanna buy dope with food stamps too? fuck. off. WHY is alcohol so special that you think beer with food stamps is okay?
if you can’t see how bringing up other drugs proves this point, then you might be an addict.
lol right. I wonder what race OP imagines
