Yeah, I’m still waiting for a GOG Linux client, a Uplay Linux client, a Linux client from Epic etc.

In a way they’re right: the radical left wants radical change for the good of the people

N-no-no, you don’t understand. In order not to face the enemy, you have to gain territory towards it and complain that nobody helps you do this.

Yep, it’s Johnny Sins

Welp, I just played Stardew Valley again 😁

I can’t deny there were some cases where the authorities have exaggerated. Especially recently. But you know where these people are actually coming from.

You maybe know that it’s not these cases they’re referring to when they talk about the lack of free speech.

Ah, of course it’s about the serious violations on free speech in *checks notes* the brutal dictatorships of Britain and Germany. The dictatorship of common sense dictating you how not to be an asshole.

That’s so terrible!

I wish this worked with my local far-right party as well

I am sorry for what happened but I hope you’re well aware that Trump only solved this conflict by threatening to join Israel in the killings. Not sure if that aligns with you.

I hope no more violence will occur in the region for the foreseable future.

Take care!

Out of curiosity, I just checked that cesspool that calls itself a Lemmy server after 1000 years of not giving a fuck (I mean, I likely checked it seldomly lately as well, but not as thoroughly as going through multiple pages and posts). Here’s what I found:

• Typical commie propaganda (I’m not going to go into details)
• So much US-centrism. Of course, there was some user from Poland (some will know who am I talking about) that admitted somewhere that in Poland there are multiple parties, but, just like for any serious tankie, those parties cannot be anything else than fascist. So no other party than the all mighty “single pluralistic” Communist Party (whatever that shit even means) like there somehow is in China is good. All of them are fascist.
• Being from the US, you’d think they treat the current situation in their country in a mature way, pointing out the actual fascist from the White House - while this happens in, like, a bunch of their posts, mostly, if you think this way, you’re DEAD WRONG. They spend most of their energy pointing out how bLuE aNd ReD aRe ThE sAmE and how oBaMa aLsO dId X sHiT tHaT tRuMp DiD aNd YoU tHe LiBs WeRe OkAy WiTh ThAt (oh, and not to mention the meme about how the No Kings protests are actually a CIA psyop or some shit. Yeah, if you go out and protest for a cause is not because you’re fed up with all that shit you see in your daily life, it’s because the intelligence told you so).
• When they actually do speak about what’s going on, they point out how imperialistic the US of A is and always was. Somehow, China and Russia were never imperialistic. But USA is the alpha and omega of imperialism (okay, they probably also bring up the former imperialistic powers of UK and/or France in other threads, but I didn’t check them, and it’s late here - let’s just assume there is something about this as tankie propaganda also likes to bring this up). Yeah, what happens now with the US is borderline imperialism (threatening Canada and Greenland and Panama with invasion). But stretching it so far and thin like they do is just crazy.
• They laugh at you when you bring them sources to support your claim - reputable sources. But all they bring to support their own claims are recycling memes that they thought they’re funny a few days ago - and somehow Dessalines points you to his blog/website/whatever - not even trying to bring up their own propaganda mouthpieces into discussion. Yeah, bro, I’ll trust you (I’ll probably even make a meme about it these days if I care enough about it).
• Their entire meme community is tankie propaganda. I tried being sympathetic to them and tried to view the memes from their own perspective, but I couldn’t bring more than a smug on my face. Oh well, maybe these crack them up. Good for them, I guess.

In conclusion: it’s fucking late. I spent some precious time doing nothing and learning nothing from their bullshit (and also typing this entire thing). I would like Dessalines to point me out on his website thingy how can I get my wasted time back. Thank you.

This one cracked me up, that’s for sure. And I’m not even in Russia.

That makes sense. Thanks!

Even the middle click?

*middle click and right click link>open in a new tab*: are we a joke to you?!?

I was just about to give up on WhatsApp, until I landed in my current job, where I’m using it for work…

It usually only takes one serious incident to start a full riot on scooters. Last month there was a tragic event where one woman was killed by someone with a scooter who didn’t see her crossing. Total outrage! Ban these things immediately. There’s even a draft law in the parliament to forbid anyone riding a scooter unless they got a license of some sorts. Meanwhile, there was another accident where a guy was speeding and hit a woman on a pedestrian crossing. People were like “yeah, but maybe if she hadn’t run on that crossing, and if she made eye contact with the driver, maybe it would’ve saved her life…”

Well, my salary just went in, so I started paying my bills. Just now, I renewed my monthly public transit pass, and I am pretty much debt free - until next month, that is.

The only alternative that the Bucharest authorities at that time had, was to either ship it or risk letting it fall into German/Austro-Hungarian hands. It’s more like having to choose between storing your physical money to your friend’s house or keeping it with the high risk of having it stolen for good by someone you’re not even friends with.

Edit: and that wasn’t really a “friend” either. It was a country that tried to take advantage of our fight for independence against the Ottomans in order to annex us themselves. And it was a “friend” which previously annexed parts of former Principality of Moldova which was inhabited by Romanians. As the saying goes: with friends like these, one needs no other enemy.

Luckily, they learnt their lesson, so BNR hid what was left of the treasury in a monastery during WW2.
