I mean, that guy looks like a body builder and he’s using specific equipment and a technique to pull the train a few meters. Impressive, but it’s not relevant.
Pushing uses way less muscles and those people are supposed to be starving.
With maybe two dozen people for one carriage it could be even not totally exhausting work.
Yeah, if the train was wide enough. Trains aren’t wide enough to accommodate two dozen people pushing it from the back. They’re quite narrow, actually.
- Comment on Anon thinks she's exaggerating 1 week ago:
I’m sure her talking about North Koreans having to push trains sometimes is just a language barrier issue.
Definitely not her making stuff up because she knows that she can say pretty much anything she wants because it’s very hard to disprove whatever she says. Definitely not making a lot of money from stealing the spotlight from people who have real stories about suffering in North Korea that deserve attention more than her bullshit. No no, North Koreans are special people who can push trains that weigh thousands of tons AND can do it while starving to death. :D

It doesn’t need to be about either one of us. This is narcissistic thinking.
When something significant happens in the EU, it gets contained in the political community hell. When something significant happens in the USA, it’s forced everywhere and you can’t escape it even if you don’t give the slightest of fucks.

They’re probably more sophisticated these days though. Wouldn’t know for sure though, haven’t checked in a while.

That or they overcorrect.
On a pretty popular leftist Lemmy instance (Hexbear), you need to provide a trigger warning for “an ableist slur” if you’re posting a screenshot or quoting something that says the word “stupid”. Pretty sure you’re not allowed to say it in any other context (even for example calling the EU Kids Act “stupid”) or you’ll get banned for “ableism”.

Wow, a Lemmy meme that’s that recent?
I thought the minimum age of memes to be posted here is at least a decade.
- Comment on Hard Out There For A Woman 5 weeks ago:
I’m not. I’m just saying that a lot of “invisibly” disabled people with (often undiagnosed) learning disabilities etc. are called stupid all the time, and reading something like that would really hurt them.
This is an anecdote, I understand that I’m “arguing” here from the heart and I’m not looking to win any legitimate debate, which would be impossible while getting dogpiled this hard while I was asleep, but anyway:
I watched this small streamer for some time, and even became her moderator. She would just not understand a lot of things, at all, and she was completely unaware how some things could offend other people, until I explained them to her and she felt really bad for saying them while not knowing the real meaning. She cultivated this audience of reactionary people, because they thought she was one of them because she accidentally said a whole bunch of edgy things. But let me emphasize this: she never wanted to hurt anyone, she always felt bad for saying hurtful things on accident and always deeply apologized when she realized she was being hurtful.
Eventually, I had to quit, because the audience was too much for me. She was a great person, but I didn’t feel welcome due to her viewers and eventually stopped watching her. She felt really bad that I wouldn’t feel welcome, but there was really nothing that could be done without me banning like a third of her community. We stayed as friends for some time, and she opened up how sad she was about people calling her stupid all the time “because she wouldn’t understand some things” (in reality she had issues understanding basic things all the time).
When I saw that comment, I thought of her, already really upset by people calling her stupid, reading that and being like “stupid people are gross? and everyone calls me stupid… does this mean… :(”.
- Comment on Hard Out There For A Woman 5 weeks ago:
Calling stupid people gross seems kind of ableist.
- Comment on I made some interesting mods 5 weeks ago:
They have already done that! :)
Mess around with a mod pack like “Feed the Beast” or “All The Mods”, they have so many tech mods that you can do crazy automation factories with. You can probably get some inspiration from them and some of them are open source so you can check how the APIs work together in practice (just don’t copy them directly, please).
I probably have thousands of hours in modded Minecraft, just doing automation and upgrading my gear. Never cared that much for building :D
