I’m from Europe (Hungary) and I watched the first 20 minutes of the debate (with the intent of finishing the whole thing in one go) before turning it off while basically being on the brink of crying. The US presidents basically have as much say in my life as my own government (if not more) and even though I can’t vote for them, if I had to I’d be lost. Because it’s not that one is old and the other is crazy it’s a freaking Venn diagram of crazy RFK jr., demented Biden and then of course crazy and demented Trump. Seeing the debate and how these people basically can’t put two sentences after each other without breaking up is terrifying. And one of them will be voted into the most important office on the planet.
I mean it’s shit over here. We can choose between a guy who already stole half of our country, someone whose messy divorce somehow made him the most important member of the opposition and this other guy who stole the other half of the country before the current dude did. (And that’s just the tip of the iceberg). But maaan are we a lot better off than the world’s greatest country where two unsupervised parties get to point at the people you can vote into this ridiculously powerful position. And then they pick these guys.
We’re all going to die and I can’t even vote for whoever gets us killed, which is ultimately for the better. This way I can die with a clear conscience.
Just watched that episode for the first time and somehow it didn’t even occur to me
I hear that’s been an issue of debate in the Vatican since around the 70s and one of the cardinals is very keen on summoning a council to settle it.
Shouldn’t a woman and a man with the same height, weight, and body-muscle percentage be basically identical in terms of athleticism or am I wrong?
I like this. It’s not really helpful in the sense that it seems almost as hard as being perfect yourself, but nonetheless it’s possible, contrary to the alternative.
And I removed the “the” in much the same way.
Me: Did you eat my sofa? Cow: nooo
“I thought of that, but not enough to act on it!”
One day I realized I developed a skill for correctly inserting the USB on first try and I’m in an existential crisis ever since.
My favourite was “The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don’t.”
Douglas Adams was really a master of subversion.

If someone is seriously a supremacist about using darkmode I think their input is invalid enough to be discarded.
On the other hand I don’t think downvoting someone you disagree with on anything is in itself toxic, but going out of your way to downvote someone over something this - let’s be honest - unimportant is sort of stupid.
EDIT: To be clear I’m saying darkmode is unimportant not the issue of people being toxic.
sorry, but i tend to downvote intrusive thoughts
Since I switched just a month or two ago yesterday was flakes-figuring-out-day for me. It’s terrible in the sense, that the first thing I had to do was actually figure out what flakes even do and what is it you can use them for. The guides didn’t help a lot because they assumed I alreary knew that. I think I understand now, but there is an offchance I got it compeletly wrong and that bothers me.
I used arch btw until i switched to nixos fr. Kind of like a splinter group, a cult if you would. Less aur. More flakes. Still mostly unusable.
My take wasn’t that ethnostates are good, but that they are not inherently bad either, it’s just the tools usually used to establish and preserve them that we must condemn.
But lukewarm and mid isn’t.
