It’s about time! I’ve wanted to buy a European for years but never knew where to look

That’s a man not a bear though, what does bear mean in this context?

Life is strange haha

The fuck is going on with that bloke in the bottom

I wonder if it’s English, or American English 😅

(Thank you for the tip by the way I had no idea!)

Fascinating and bizarre, has he published any print books on this subject that I could pick up?

I don’t think it’s used as a verb, a Goon would perhaps hench? Even that feels like a stretch though.

Hmm, I’m not sure what singular verb you’d use to describe a hired henchman/goon’s job…

There is no point, we don’t exist for a reason, we’re just a thing that happened in the universe by random chance.

That’s not an inherently bad thing though, heck, the concept of “bad” isn’t even “real”, it’s just an invention we came up with.

But I digress. We must find out own purpose and meaning in life, it won’t be handed to us. Think of the journey as a fun ride with no rules, there are no gods, the universe doesn’t judge you, you are unique and weird and amazing and can interact with the universe in ways no gigantic star or powerful black hole ever could.

Don’t judge a book by it’s cover.

Boost, it was the perfect Reddit client for me and now it’s the perfect Lemmy client, I didn’t have to sacrifice any aspect of the experience.

God I love you, Boost my beloved 😍

I’m on Android. It’ll be a cold day in hell before I give Steve Jobs a penny.

I use the Boost app for Lemmy so it basically feels exactly like the ideal Reddit experience felt back then, which is fantastic.

As for being put off, the only thing that really bothers me is the extreme hatred for Windows and the deepthroating of Linux. It’s creepy.

Like, I love Linux and use it for many things alongside Windows, but I don’t get obsessively weird about it to the point of creating memes or going out of my way to tell people why they’re wrong for using one over the other, you know?

If that were toned down I’d certainly feel a little more relaxed, but on the whole the Lemmy experience has been lovely <3

…You want their security to be bad enough that they get hacked, so that they’d have to face repercussions for having bad security? What?

How about they just don’t have bad security and people don’t risk having their private data stolen?

Nice to know you’d sit there with popcorn watching people who just want to play video games suffer, a small price to pay for you to hurt Sony it seems, who I guess you hate for some reason.

Kinda ruined by having website branding slapped in the middle of it, especially as the majority of the poster is, if we want to talk creative property and such, ripped off from an old WWII poster.

But yeah, regardless of the why, it is very poorly placed and draws the eye far too much. There’s a reason such copyright statements are in small text in a corner, not plastered in the literal middle of an image.

What an unusual place to see news about my city! What are the odds haha.

Fascist tossers can go back where they came from that’s for sure 👍

the last inauguration

When you say the last inauguration, you don’t mean the last inauguration… r-right?

could we ask the UK and rest of Commonwealth to help us out if things get too bad?

The UK need not have entered the last conflict against aggressive fascists when and how she did, but did so as much out of a sense of obligation to one’s friends and the moral right as anything. When conflict loomed, the UK made a defensive pact with Poland, when she could have easily just sat back and watched.

The same is true of Canada. We are no longer an empire, no longer a large and powerful nation, but if and when the US eventually takes direct aggressive military action, the UK, backed by the Allies of the new Millennium in Europe and beyond, will come to Canada’s aid.

To do any less would be to side with the fascists.

Thinking of the USA’s current lying, deceitful leader, and their increasingly aggressive moves, I’m once again reminded of Chamberlain’s address to the nation…

We have a clear conscience. We have done all that any country could do to establish peace, but a situation in which no word given by Germany’s ruler could be trusted and no people or country could feel themselves safe had become intolerable. And now that we have resolved to finish it, I know that you will all play your part with calmness and courage.

As such a moment as this the assurances of support that we have received from the Empire are a source of profound encouragement to us.

…Now may God bless you all and may He defend the right. For it is evil things that we shall be fighting against, brute force, bad faith, injustice, oppression and persecution. And against them I am certain that the right will prevail.

And if you’ll forgive me a little more quoting of particularly famous speeches, this line about the new world comes to mind also…

we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God’s good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.

Even if one of us falls, the others will step forth to their rescue and liberation. Freedom from fascism is a universal right, and we will enforce it until we no longer can ♥️

I don’t live in that country, but while I like Lemmy, no, I don’t have hope any more. I’ve not had that for a long time now.

It’s interesting though, to see the US slowly turn into our enemy, and to consider that Germany will be one of our strongest democratic, antifascist allies against the new axis of evil when the time comes.

Thankfully I’m too old to be forced to fight in the next war against fascism, but I suppose poverty and climate change might kill me before then anyway. There truly is no hope left for me.

You don’t live in a very dangerous area, then.

I keep an eye on everyone, even a woman with a kid in a pram (assuming the pram isn’t just an empty decoy) could try to mug you, people get desperate and chavs get violent. Always keep your head on a swivel, don’t trust anyone at face value just because of their gender or what they look like.

or have they

Peertube, a voyeurism site for vids of people peering in through window curtains? :P

“The fediverse is for everyone”

Everyone? Are you sure? I can think of a lot of truly, deeply evil people we wouldn’t want anywhere near anything we’re involved in.

There’s inclusivity and freedom of expression, and then there’s groups of people that do things that are so evil and illegal and so on that I might get told off just for mentioning what those things are by name, so I won’t.

But yeah, in principle I completely agree with you of course, that there shouldn’t be barriers and limitations to who can interact with who and such, but in practical application we have to realise there are groups that absolutely should be ostracised for our own safety and to limit their growth and power over our society, sadly :-(

I don’t know what feudposting is though, but I can take a guess. I’ve never taken part in any sort of beef between instances, I don’t really notice what instance stuff comes from much at all, I just join communities that I think look cool and trust the mods and admins to handle what’s appropriate and what’s not. It’s worked very well so far, touch wood! :-)
