Who is wasting resources on this? Seems a bit pointless.

Also, I think its rather perverted that if someone makes it clear they want to be left alone/anonymous, the society/media declares "NO!" and goes to insane lengths to figure out who they are.

Same thing happened with Lordi, the Finnish metal band. When they won eurovision, the main guy said "I would appreciate if we could stay anonymous, or at least not have our real faces plastered all over." So of course the largest gossip magazine in Finland felt the need to plaster his face on the cover of their stupid magazine.

Though that did lead to a funny thing.. There was a "campaign" to boycott the magazine called "käännä Seiska" - "turn Seiska." My friend didn't get the full idea, since "käännä" is a slang for stealing. So he stole a bunch of those magazines from a shop, only realized he was supposed to turn them upside down not steal them, after he got home with a pile of Seiska magazines.

Ah, that does warm my European heart.

The world is on fire, climate change looks to be a thing that will just happen, wars, everything getting more expensive with no hope in sight... but at least the US has less bombings!

I get that things have been shitty all the time, but generally the direction has been towards better things. I dunno if we reached a point where things are as good as it gets and getting better is more and more difficult, but I personally feel that things are in some sort of a turning point. I know I'm a grumpy fuck, but I've really tried to always look on the bright side of life (whistle) but I haven't really found anything worth looking forwards to. Plaargh.

lol thanks for reminding me. Gotta go delete that lemmy.world account =D

I have no qualms about banning negative, bad-faith or douchy losers to save people from blocking them. And if a community is bad enough, I’ll ban the whole community.

This is excellent. I've never understood the attitude that people should tolerate arseholes, because of what, free speech? Nah, bugger off with that silliness. I've moderated some places over the years and I've been told that I ban people too easily, but I've also been told how nice and wholesome the places were. Its pretty clear to me that having a low tolerance to arseholes is positive for the community.

What credibility?

Mostly stuff relating to Ukraine. Though I do have some complaints about him with that as well. But on the whole he's handled Ukraine related things agreeable.

Look up “brief aan de Nederlanders” ffom 2017.

I don't speak Dutch so I'll skip, I'll take your word for it. I don't respect him at all anymore, so there's really not much to gain to go through translating that stuff.

Rutte has been burning his credibility in my eyes at a alarming rate.

I get that he needs to do at least some level of ass kissing towards the US but he does it with his tongue very far up in there and with a weird eagerness. I don't understand what his strategy is with trump.

Your headlight level adjuster might be stuck or broken. Have your mechanic check that it works.

Why is Herra Alikersantti in English but recruit is not "alokas"?

Also, shitty Herra Alikersantti. When I was a Herra Alikersantti, I made the morons in my squad show me that they had everything packed. That's the only way to make sure.

I support the Americans giving their money to the waiters and whatnot, I'd even encourage them to give their money to everyone they come across here.

I do not support normalizing tipping and cutting the pay of people.

I don't have experience about that. Every time I've been invited to a group, I've removed myself immediately lol

I’d be depressed if I had to endure the darkness of a Finnish winter

Funnily enough, winter is my favorite time. I love going for winter hikes etc. Its so peaceful and quiet.

TBH in principle I’m ready to give up on the Whatsapp boycott, it’s just so costly socially

I just use good ol' SMS with the people who don't have Signal. Though thats like one SMS message per year or so..

"Norwegians and Polish people, I would like to inquire about the attitudes of your people towards immigrants"

"American here! Let me tell ya.."

:D
