- Comment on We're deep into the baggy era mate 2 days ago:
I never thought that the absurd baggy pants I wore back in school would ever come back into style because they were truly awful.
But hey, what do I know - now they’re back and so am I … How do you do, fellow kids!?!

Has the manufacturer even calculated how much energy is needed for production and how long it will take for the corresponding CO2 emissions to be amortized?
We are living in strange times…

The guy is a psychopath without any empathy. I don’t think there’s much difference between media persona and reality here. Someone who acts so immorally can only be a bad person. There can be no excuses for this.
I mean, is anyone interested in who Hitler actually was? Does it matter at all? Maybe for pathological psychology, but little else really.
In any case, anything but a pleasant conversation partner, I would say. Especially because his hatred and his excessive stupidity are definitely not an act.
I think you give him too much credit.
- Comment on Should visitors to a country (tourist / visa-holders / people staying temporarily) have the right to criticize the government? When should an immigrant have the right to criticize the government? 1 month ago:
If there is something to criticize, everyone should do so. Criticism is a good thing: you don’t have to share it, but you can learn from it.

- Comment on Sooo, where did the blatant Nazism suddenly come from? 2 months ago:
I think, at least for those in their ranks who are not (yet) convinced Nazis anyway, it’s a similar principle to the mafia: the newly recruited opportunists have to publicly spout Nazi slogans to prove themselves - just as a soldier in the Cosa Nostral has to have committed a serious crime, many particularly serious ones, if he ever want to become a “capo”.
Like other criminal organizations, MAGA tries to protect itself from potential informants, I think. If you only recruit people who are unscrupulous enough to openly admit to this Nazi bullshit, there’s less chance of someone having a conscience and making all their shady dealings public.
- Comment on [Discussion] Should Twitter links be banned from lemmy.world? 4 months ago:
No, lemmy.world should not censor itself. I can decide for myself which link I click on. If people think they have to link to Twitter, then let them do it. I will never do that and I will never follow Twitter links. But I would still like to be able to do so on principle.
- Comment on LPT: always be an asshole so you don't miss great opportunities in life 4 months ago:
Yes, and unfortunately that’s why the world is the way it is. If empathy, creativity and humility were the values that would take us forward in society, everyone would be better off. But that’s a utopia that will never happen, I’m afraid. Because there will always be people who take advantage of the good nature of others to gain an advantage for themselves. That seems to be human nature - and will also be the downfall of humanity, I think. The tyranny of selfishness, built on the shoulders of good people and only made possible by their ruthless exploitation.
- Comment on Guys will see this and just say “hell yeah” 4 months ago:
I see this, realize that it must be nearly impossible to clean those monstrosities and just say “hell no”.
- Comment on Learning a new language is easy! 4 months ago:
Yes, these compount words might be the reason why we couldn’t get rid of the damn Nazis for good: After the Second World War, we Germans ourselves probably didn’t really understand what the purpose of the “Entnazifizierungsbehörde” (authority to combat National Socialist ideology) was and, accordingly, could not really grasp why it was so important. A serious mistake that still has consequences to this day, unfortunately…
/s, obviously
- Comment on Are there people without handedness? 5 months ago:
For me, it’s the other way around: I write with my left hand, but I’m right-handed or right-footed when I do sports and I also use tools like a hammer with my right hand.

- Comment on The Amish are onto smth 6 months ago:
It’s probably just a simple HTML tel link that is supposed to open a phone app so that you don’t need to dial. But MacOS and iOS opens these links with FaceTime if that is configured as your standard “phone” app. So it’s not the website that opens an app with camera permission, it’s the OS.
This can be quite annoying for web developers because HTML alone cannot prevent FaceTime from being opened instead of a normal phone app, as the OS dictates what happens when a phone link is clicked. This can easily give the impression that the camera is being accessed illegitimately, even if this is not actually intended. That’s probably the case here. I can’t imagine anyone expecting their customers to book a table in a restaurant via video call - that would be stupid on many levels.

I’m always impressed by how little understanding businesses have for basic online stuff, even when it’s very important to their business.

- Comment on Trump cosplaying 7 months ago:
Back in 2017, I didn’t understand how an extremely wealthy heir to a billion-dollar fortune (and regardless of all his business failures) could present himself as the candidate of the little people. Today, after Trump was president and - of course - only made policy changes for the rich, I understand it even less. What is this photo-op all about? Are there seriously still people who don’t understand that Trump has never represented the middle class - or even the working class? You can’t be serious, dear US citizens.
