I check all/comments/new, see what people are talking about and if anything catches my eye I may subscribe

throwback!

Not all of the countries problems can simply be attributed to ‘the enemy’ on the other side of the planet. The dysfunction I’m pointing out is home grown and enabled on both sides. The republicans are obviously worse, the democrats prevent anything better.

Russia is affecting those things in the us though.

People being unhoused, going hungry and without healthcare is bipartisan consensus in the US and Russia has nothing to do with that.

MS-13 or Russia

neither of those are real concerns tbh. Americans should be concerned about housing, feeding and providing medical care to everyone before worrying about external threats.

If I react to a message with a 👍 it’s innocuous, but if I reply to a message 👍 it’s actually me being passive aggressive like I can’t be bothered to type a real response

I would point out that the system we live in now is also maintained by violence and a lot of bloodshed, all alternatives are aggressively opposed, many people live in awful conditions already, and more often they tend to be the people on receiving end of US weapon systems. The actual death toll of capitalism is extremely high if you include social murder and neglect too.

Oh that sounds like it would be good with just vegetable broth! I do struggle traveling trying to find vegan options, or explaining that I don’t want meat/eggs. Personally I would want to see what the hiking trails are like there!

No, I want to visit there!

Gotta second this, it’s a little hard to find from a separate instance- you need to go to /c/news@hexbear.net and pick it from the pinned threads

when I say ‘fediverse’ people think I’m saying ‘fetiverse’ and sometimes they ask if it’s like open source fetlife. 🫠

I’ve been having a ton of fun, I like the cultural exchange a lot.

Personally I don’t care if China has data on me, it’s not like it’s useful for them and I’d rather them than meta or the US government or whoever.

There’s also way more queer/trans content than I was expecting.

yes

I’ve been having fun on XHS

Lame, I would totally have bought one.

Biden didn’t want to provoke the Turks and so Greece is also a tier 2 country

I’m inclined to agree, they don’t want people starting to consider social murder as a crime worth seeking justice for, because the entire government is complicit in a vast network of social murder. An enormous yearly sacrifice all in the name of preserving ‘markets’ for housing, food, transportation, and healthcare.

I had a friend in college who I was briefly interested in, she was nice but I found her to be way too conservative for me to really feel comfortable with so in hindsight I’m glad she ended up dating ( and dumping) one of my other friends instead.

Lemmy is my only social media interaction these days, the content has improved, and the communities feel more distinct than they did a year ago. That could just be me getting up to speed though.

It was a nice surprise finding out that the left wing instances on here are actually pretty chill, way more so than on Reddit these days.

I don’t own one, but the previous (non wheeled ones) have been around for a while, they’re on Amazon with mixed reviews, people on Reddit seem to have been using them too.

This list price for this bigger more performant one seems pretty high though at $100k
