I enjoy life. But I am very aware that if I die, it all just stops.
If not for the pain I’d cause my loved ones, I wouldn’t mind dropping dead tomorrow. As long as it’s instant and painless. Like turning off a pc. When it’s off, it’s over. Easypeasy. No more stress, hunger, love, joy, nothing. Doesn’t sound horrible to me.
Suicide though? No way. There’s too much good to actively keep living for.
That one guy’s dead wife obviously.
Except for musquitos. They’re fair game.
Dutch can do the same. You can just keep slapping words together. It never ends.
The father complained that his daughter got refused entry into Canada and was then detained in the US. If she would have had the correct paperwork for Canada, nothing would’ve happened.
But I agree, my rant is a bit out of place in here. Not the right place to relieve stress about dealing with entitled white people :)
While the US is going batshit insane, fuck white people that ignore visa requirements.
Most countries have very clear visa regulations, especially for short term visas. If you travel to the US and Canada as a European white person and you get refused entry because your paperwork is not OK, that is entirely on you. I deal with those entitled people on the regular. It’s satisfying to see them not being able to use their white card. L2read and prepare.
If you’re not white and European, that’s a different story unfortunately…
(and just to be clear, I absolutely do not agree with what Drumpf is doing, the guy and his cronies and enables are criminals…)
Screenshots are so much faster than a link though on a phone. I do crop mine before sending, but I send a lot of Screenshots in my group chats.
Where I work, it’s a non issue. As long as it doesn’t impact your work and nobody notices it (foul odor or behaviour), nobody could care less.
Have you seen his ears? It’s Macro Dumbo Rubio
To be honest, books are the only form of media I don’t pirate. They deserve my money. Sucks that I have to use big shops to get them digital, but it’s so easy…
After some more thinking, I guess the original piracy has to come from somewhere :)
Genuine question : why not just download a pirated version of the book then? Seems like a huge hassle for the same end result
The weird thing is that once you get a foot in the door, Japanese immigration policies actually aren’t that strict. You just need a guarantor (company) to be willing to hire you.
The language barrier and hesitancy of companies to hire non-Japanese is the actual barrier, not so much the immigration policies themselves. The government could ofcourse encourage companies to hire foreigners…but Japan changes at a glacial pace.
I’m sure they’ll be ready to deal with the new world under trump by 2035-40
Lemmy has a hardon for FOSS, and an irrational hatred for windows.
Aside from that, it’s quite nice imo
Being overly Paranoia? Can’t think of another valid reason.
Swap to a 0 calorie version and just keep enjoying it? Fizzy drinks are a pretty harmless vice in the grand scheme of things. Hollow calories, so if you can replace it with a 0 calorie version, it would at least stop affecting your weight.
I know everyone is against artificial sweeteners. They won’t kill you faster than microplastics, pollution, break pad dust, war, alcohol, smoking,…
Enjoy life! Enjoy a fizzy drink! I thoroughly enjoy my daily coke zero can.
I use windows. I haven’t paid for a windows key since windows 7 iirc. Windows has been free for years. (I know you pay with your data etc. Good luck convincing average Joe who uses all social media services that this even matters)
For me personally: I really enjoy tiktok. My feed is curated enough over time that I only see stuff I’m genuinely interested in, comedy, science, tech, fitness and ofcourse skimpy dancing ladies. I do not suffer from the so called propaganda on it.
I agree that tiktok melts brains of teenagers, but so does Instagram reels, facebook and YouTube shorts. So that isn’t a tiktok issue in itself anymore.
My grandfather for sure. No way he would be able to understand the current cultural climate. He basically died from getting worked up about stuff the entire time in the late 90s. I’m 100% sure he never stopped rolling around.
It’s not a genocide anymore. We should start calling it what it is, a holocaust. The entire systematic destruction/eradication of a people, not just the murder of them, but the entire structural destruction of one.
