I’d say it’s like a tailbone. It was once useful (when we were apes), but has long since lost all purpose. Now it is just a useless appendage and if you touch it the wrong way, you can end up paralized for the rest of your life. We can’t go without though, because it’s attached to out spine and muscles.
Oh sweet memories
Do you need pilots? Can’t you just program the coordinates in? 25,8761060, -80,1358367
I watch on my phone all the time in the train to and from work. I don’t really care for the aesthetics, I’m in it for the story.
When I download, I go for the 700mb rather than the 15gb movies. I only have a small, dumb tv that’s 10 years old. So watching it there isn’t really a theater experience either.
I haven’t seen this one in the wild for quite some time. Brings back memories.
Is it just me or does this shadow look like a penis?
Thankfully. It wouldn’t be fun otherwise. But they’re not pictured on this map
Nobody’s making fun of the Dutch. Good!

Also people are idiots, or at least easily influenced. If you ask someone “you dreamt such and such, right?” They’ll be more likely to agree with you than when you ask “What did you dream?”

Same with YouTube, honestly.
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
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.
Also, we’re actual intellectuals, obviously. Contrary to those reddit wannabes
