- Comment on US will allow truckers to drive 16 hours per day instead of the previous limit of 14 hours 19 hours ago:
As a non-American, I find it baffling and hilarious that many Americans are proud to work 80 hours a week. It’s not a flex. They’d regret having done so when they become too frail and forgetful at the old age. And all the money they saved and pension being collected will be spent on healthcare and medication instead.
They did not even live their life when they were young and they won’t even enjoy the remainder.
- Comment on UK train operator nationalised by government after 30 years of privatisation 1 day ago:
I’m a progressive but i am open to privatisation where it makes sense. The privatisation of public transit in UK seem to be successful. I’m in Ireland and the public transport here is shocking so I look to UK and I think it might not be a bad idea to privatise some routes. That being said, there is a fear of private transport companies cancelling unprofitable routes, especially in rural areas. Which in that case, the publicly funded buses or rails should remain servicing isolated areas.
- Comment on Employers ditching health coverage 1 week ago:
Even Trump before said he favoured affordable healthcare because it means not tying healthcare to employers. Now, he did a u-turn probably because he’s going senile and having been bought by the insurance industry.
- Comment on Why are lemmings so touchy about downvotes? 1 week ago:
I thought we are above Reddit with petty clamouring of points.
- Comment on Right back at him 3 weeks ago:
The media always claim “new” immune based drug therapy which uses the body’s immune system to fight cancer, even though the technology has been around since the 1970s. And people often think cancer is one disease even though there are many types. So, these immune based drug therapy only target one type of cancer.
- Comment on Left Wing Rage # Right Wing Rage 3 weeks ago:
Ah yes, a self-proclaimed cEnTriSt and yet sympathises mostly with the right.
Most honest right winger.
- Comment on Left Wing Rage # Right Wing Rage 3 weeks ago:
Yes I am a potato. Now are you going to say right winger instead of pretending you’re not?
- Comment on Left Wing Rage # Right Wing Rage 3 weeks ago:
Say you are right winger without saying you are right winger.
- Comment on Left Wing Rage # Right Wing Rage 3 weeks ago:
Lol. If you are not trolling, you do realise that many Republicans say “Democrats betrayed them” for pursuing progressive policies? Ronald Reagan said the he didn’t abandon the Democrats, the Democrats abandoned him. Trump himself was a Democrat until he echoed the same sentiment as Ronald Reagan.
- Comment on Meanwhile at Meta HQ 3 weeks ago:
The problem is that a lot of people don’t care. They are getting the dopamine hit.
- Comment on Meanwhile at Meta HQ 3 weeks ago:
It doesn’t help either that in developing countries, Facebook is free to use even without mobile internet data. Little do users from these countries realise is that they are the product.
- Comment on Republicans are arguing over if trans people can play sports while the world laughs at us 3 weeks ago:
Technically, Ireland doesn’t have free healthcare either, but it’s government subsidised and most people still have free healthcare for most cases.
- Comment on Groceries are expensive and they're too busy talking about culture war 3 weeks ago:
It’s by intention. I noticed that right wingers don’t really talk about the economic equality but instead focus on culture wars.
- Comment on "No precedent in American history!" NYT would have defended child labor. 4 weeks ago:
And NYT said Hitler was a reformed man after a brief stint in prison.
- Comment on Simply Bananas 4 weeks ago:
I remember when I was in kindergarten and the teacher was cool for reminding us that Beast Wars is coming up soon in couple of hours, so we could have something to look forward to going home!
- Comment on Not Enough Hate 5 weeks ago:
There should be a male movie version of “The Substance”, specifically targetting the toxic idea of looksmaxxing.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
Not weird at all. How else do you think all religions across the world have been developed?
- Comment on Drop your unpopular opinions here because c/unpopularopinions is filled with popular opinions 5 weeks ago:
I like using AI at work and saves me a lot of time from doing the most tedious tasks. But i agree that the problem is environmental. Which is why I think AI development should be controlled. How? I don’t know but it’s something that experts should discuss.
- Comment on Drop your unpopular opinions here because c/unpopularopinions is filled with popular opinions 5 weeks ago:
I don’t think I’ve seen pseudo viral and bot marketing, not that I’m aware of.
- Comment on Drop your unpopular opinions here because c/unpopularopinions is filled with popular opinions 5 weeks ago:
I got heavily downvoted on my post on c/unpopularopinion about Lemmy’s absolute disdain of AI and not acknowledging its potential so it really is unpopular.
- Comment on Mark Zuckerberg leaves stranded boat passengers to die in middle of the Pacific. 5 weeks ago:
Mark is a self-admitted asshole. The fact that he doesn’t care about how movies depicted his initial real life rise to fame and knowing how teenagers are harmed by social media shows he doesn’t care. A
- Comment on Centrists have such a Hard Choice. 1 month ago:
A lot of centrists, are frankly, kind of weak minded. A lot are not necessarily more right leaning but they don’t exactly have strong conviction. A friend of mine is right leaning on immigration and economics but at the same time he voted for the social democrats in his country because of over a decade of right wing government and supports Palestine. Some are centrists for the sake of being centrist it seems.
The problem as to why many centrists sound right leaning is because the right captured prominent media platforms, and a huge part of its audience are lonely folks who are susceptible to misinformation, which my friend falls into. Many don’t become firmly on right but that doesn’t matter for the right wing billionaires funding the media platforms. It’s about sowing enough doubt to prevent forming a united front against the billionaire-Epstein class.

Isn’t Die Linke gaining ground on the polls though?
- Comment on When y'all gonna learn 1 month ago:
You don’t change the view of the person you are arguing with on the internet, you are putting a red flag so that would-be readers don’t fall into the rabbit hole.
- Comment on Languages 1 month ago:
There is nothing specific, but what I mean is that Russian public figures or ideas would have their Anglicised name on the entry at the introduction page alongside their Cyrillic spellings. Putting the Cyrillic spelling side by side with the English spelling made me learn how to read and pronounce Russian.
- Comment on Why do so many people regardless of whether their reasonings are justified or not pinpoint South Park for ruining a generation of millenials? 1 month ago:
It’s probably the conservatives who claim South Park ruined a generation. My ex came from a conservative culture and she doesn’t like South Park. Obviously, adult, crude and dark humour won’t jive well with conservatives who are taught a certain way. If I had remained in my home country, I could grow up not liking South Park as I was pretty conservative.
- Comment on The Obama wing of the Democratic Party is declaring “war” on progressives. Why don’t they ever bring this energy against Trump? Why do they hate working class people even more? 1 month ago:
The “moderates” love of money will cause them to lose even more money when a revolution starts and heads start rolling with it.
- Comment on Languages 1 month ago:
I learned to read Cyrillic from reading Wikipedia. I got obsessed with Russian history and Russian entries in Wikipedia have the English name alongside the Cyrillic spelling. So, I read the Russian words alongside the English spelling to help me how to read in Russian. I also thought I could try reading Greek since Cyrillic is based from it, but for some reason I am struggling. I think I can quickly learn to read letters based from the shape and the sound they represent but Greek letters are a bit more complicated for me.

I like the Serbian rule. It’s not unnecessarily complicated.
