I often do surveys online and the American ones always ask this. They like to lump all people who look alike together and don’t even bother asking where you’re from. They really believe we are split in different species or something.

I’ve never heard about Peter judging or the gates etc. in all my religious upbringing and didn’t realize this was an actual belief.

I just knew this pearly gates thing as a movie cliché, from Tom and Jerry to modern shows copying that idea.

You mean all those Poles coming over every year are not white, or migrating for work doesn’t make them migrant workers?

Why Brits and Americans? Every major city has expats.

You go abroad for a job, usually temporarily -> expat

You give up your citizenship to move to another country -> immigrant

No. Retirement age is already higher than the age I’ll probably reach, considering hereditary bad stuff. Aside from that, I have no skills and keep getting fired. Not to mention our planet will be on fire by then anyway.

Try to start over. Go to a new place, try to meet new people, etc. I was in a very similar situation and just leaving it all behind helped.

I started with a clean profile: I never log in to YT so it’s just using a local cookie you can always clear to start over.

Anyways, I just searched a few sciencey things to feed the algorithm and now I’m getting loads of crazy fake “science” and conspiracies and the rest is all extremist right wing bullshit.

YouTube is getting useless.

Probably there’s some motivation to be able to identify people who protest or people who don’t want to be filmed in public (especially with facial recognition technology becoming a reality).

But just say the law is there to annoy religious people and people will agree to a ban.

People who act like they are blind to others in the supermarket. Not making space for others, blocking us with their trolley etc. It’s not a museum.

Does Lutris require some special setup?

Using fitgirl repacks are a bit hit and miss for me. But if they don’t work, Lutris doesn’t help.

I was also told to get any diploma because it would somehow prove you’ll be good at an unrelated job.

Finished my studies during a recession, nobody would hire someone without work experience and I was suddenly overqualified for other jobs.

Getting a diploma wasn’t a good idea.

I wouldn’t take it that far, just as far as my finger can go

I switched to just using toilet paper. Not sure how much safer it is.

It’s hard for men. Big stores that just squeeze in a small section in the back for men. Trying 3 different items: one’s too big, one’s too tight, but they’re all the same size.

It takes some time to block out stuff to make Lemmy usable. So much anime, bots and dumb American politics.

It’s nice there are a bunch of apps for Lemmy, but using it without an app is not very welcoming. It needs a lot of improvement (e.g. manually compose urls to subscribe to communities on other servers).

I hate those long distance busses. If you sit up straight, the headrest is in your back. If you slouch down to get your head at the headrest so you can get some rest, the question becomes where to put your legs without pain and discomfort.

It’s also fun that we can go to Germany and still get cash out for free whereas Germans have to pay a fee for using their own ATMs.

Just lost my job so I have this time. I want to travel a bit later, but until I can leave, I’m doing nothing at all. Years of fulltime work just killed off all social life, any motivation. Now that I’m finally free, I feel so dead inside that I just want to do absolutely nothing for a while.

Why is this downvoted? I tried it out and it works well. It also does image generation.

Sometimes the reading mode bypasses paywalls and popups.

Also make sure to block “annoyances” in uBlock.

For the rest, I’m using the Nuke Anything extension.
