Just a reminder that pedophile is not synonymous with child rapist.

We Finns tend to be leery of Russians by default, given our history with them. Everyone gets a fair chance from me - but the moment someone confirms the stereotype, I can’t help but think, this is why you have the reputation you do.

Wearing a jacket like that while there’s a hot war happening just 1,000 kilometers from our border shows poor judgment at best - and at worst, it signals support for that war.

If you want to accuse me of being biased against Russians - well, damn right I am.

No. Reddit was better in almost every possible way with just few exeptions. I'm simply too principled to go back and I see Lemmy as the only viable alternative.

I don't get her logic at all. No amount of mental gymnastics allows me to find anything sexist in that.

No, I went inside. I doubt they ever reached him.

Hay bale - or multiple.

Could be. Maybe they're running out of motorbikes too and are about to start storming Ukranian positions with bicycles next.

 

I was delivering an order for a customer and saw some guy messing with the bikes on a bike rack using a screwdriver. Then another guy showed up, so the first one stopped, slipped the screwdriver into his pocket, and started smoking a cigarette like nothing was going on. I was debating whether to report it or not - but then I noticed his jacket said "Russia" in big letters on the back, and that settled it for me.

That was only the second time in my life I’ve called the emergency number.

This applies to every single site that hosts adult content - not just reddit.

It’s a bit sensationalist to say someone “faces possible jail time” just because the maximum sentence for breaking a law is up to three years in prison. Also, he’s not being sued for reviewing handheld gaming devices - it’s about the ones shipped with copyrighted content.

I’m pretty happy having four distinct seasons. I don’t like winter and snow at all, but I think suffering through six months of cold and darkness is exactly why the warmth and sunshine feel so damn good when summer finally comes. Also, with climate change, the climate where I live has - so far - only been getting better. I’m not saying it’s good overall, but it’s not all bad either.

I mostly downvote bad faith, hostile or just generally angry/mean comments independent of whether I agree with them or not. Basically I'm using it against the people that are polluting the air here.
