Same with YouTube, honestly.

Just talked to a woman from a company in the same holding as mine. They still run their computers on windows xp. They’re in health care and deal with sensitive, confidential patient data.

Gouden combo. Lekker ff dippen ook

Lekkah bakkie pleur

I never have that problem with Digital Ocean 😆

I miss maps. I still have the map of Skyrim and various GTAs on the wall in my old room at my parent’s

That’s not really how it works, mate. He’s still innocent until proven guilty.

After all, he’s not gay, black or an opponent of Trump.

Yes, because apparently you can purchase “social services” there

I assume you’ve made a typo and meant to say “the far left morally or materially equivalent to the far right”?

Well first of all, I appreciate this discussion. Second, maybe…?

I for sure can see the pendulum swing the other way. You’ve got a nazi regime now, we bring out the far left, defeat the nazis, the pendulumswings to the other side, but it swings to far and we suddenly find ourselves in a Stalinistic hellscape.

You can call me a liberal for that. I can see why you’d say that, but I disagree since that’s not where we’re at. In reality the left are the freedom fighters now. They’re the good guys. I’m not a realist though, I’m a dreamer. I failed to communicate that in my original post and that is where I fucked up

And thirdly… yeah I think lemmy.world people know you’re trying to insult them when you call them a liberal. I haven’t yet met a lemmy.world person who calls themselves a liberal. It’s like call a Mexican a “bean eater”. No Mexican calls themselves that. It’s only other people who call them that.

Yeah I see that now. I fucked it up by phrasing it the way I did. Not the first time that happened. Probably won’t be the last either.

There’s definitely a very big difference between the far left and the far right, in the sense that one side is the literal nazis and the other the freedom fighters. But there’s so much to it. So much dynamic, so much nuance, so much context. It’s a difficult topic. It’s nazis and not-nazis, sure, but there so much more.

What I meant was that both sides are doing extreme things. Things that shouldn’t belong in a world where I want my kids to grow up in. Not the entire big, complex issue. Just this one aspect. Easy, comprehensible, small.

Anyways, it was a dumb remark, shallow, objective, out of context. And I failed to frame it the way I meant it. Just… I’d delete it, but that’s not how the Internet works.

Yes. Imagine we meet at a train station or something and I say. “Hey, you look like a racist piece of shit, but we’re starting a campaign to end world hunger, would like to hear more about it?”.

Seems pretty unlikely you wanna hear me out more, right?

And we’re on Lemmy. I’m pretty sure " liberal" is a generally acknowledged insult here.

That tends to happen when you start namecalling. People stop hearing the things that you actually want to say because the name calling bears more weight.

No not at all, but I see what you mean. I forgot that you’re not allowed to discuss topics that do not conform the hivemind.

But I’ve kicked the bee’s nest now, so I’m the liberal today. It’s like when you’re in school and you say that you wonder what it’s like to kiss a boy and the rest of the week everyone calls you a faggot. Until some other dumb kid does something dumb and they forget about you.

I like to talk about the dark side, think about the dark side, find out what makes the dark side tick. I find comfort in the search for meaning. It’s not productive but other than apathy, that’s what helps me cope. That’s not how this platform works though and sometimes I forget that I should not post in news communities.

Great argument. Just call the other a liberal and now you’ve won the discussion. Congratulations

Who’s talking about protecting people? The article talks about actively encouraging violence and murder, just for the sake of it.

Well of course. The far left isn’t any better than the far right. It seems the bigger the far right becomes, the bigger the far left becomes.

Thanks, I guess

What?

Nintendo: “Hold my sake”

People do say “hi I’m from the US” and “hi I’m from canada”. They are both countries and people can tie their identity to it. There certainly are people who say “hi I’m from europe”, but not many. Europe also isn’t a country and doesn’t have the level of autonomy that the US and Canada (or Germany for that matter) have.
