Always the Agile circlejerk certification
- Comment on When the pizza party is too expensive, you go with the EncourageMint 1 year ago:
Can many of us also get an agile certification and coach the proletariat to seize the means of production?

Obviously the wise and good colonizers, that know what’s best for everyone everywhere
- Comment on Why cant the Middle East just chill out? 1 year ago:
While the bright and “civilized” Europeans were in the dark ages, the Middle East took our science and continued it, saving it from disappearing entirely.
You can believe in the barbarian narrative about them if that makes you feel better about your national history, but it’s entirely untrue.
- Comment on Why cant the Middle East just chill out? 1 year ago:
It is therapeutic to hear the words of reason at times like these were irrational uneducated “opinions” are flung around more than ever.
World history should be mandatory in every country and tested exhaustively. Kids are able to consume the information, as long as they’re not forced to remember the absolutely useless information of it and focus on the actual point of learning history instead.
Of course it’s not to the benefit of individual countries for its citizens to be fully educated, especially when their history consists of taking advantage of the whole world and causing way more misery than the one they’re accusing others of.
More importantly, people should take the initiative to self educate and read books in their spare time. It’s hard and time consuming, but your opinion honestly doesn’t matter much when you don’t know what the hell you’re talking about and yet feel fully confident about it.

Please educate yourself, you’re embarrassing yourself and your people.
The US is just as propagandized as Russia and China and it shows.

- Comment on What are the connotations of Joe Rogan? 1 year ago:
Where can you? Every platform has a bias, this is just one of the rare ones that have a left one. You can still listen to what people have to say and use your brain to figure out what part is objective and what is subjective.
Another nice thing here compared to other platforms is that most people here offer some more serious input and care more about politics and the world, compared to normie platforms where every dumbass mindlessly repeat their propaganda.
- Comment on lemm.ee plans for mitigating image upload abuse 1 year ago:
You could probably find an instance that’s dedicated to this
- Comment on lemm.ee plans for mitigating image upload abuse 1 year ago:
I disagree with karma as a concept, but I agree that there should be restrictions of this kind in place. It’s not user friendly, but if it minimizes the chance of someone uploading sick stuff on Lemmy then I support it.
- Comment on lemm.ee financials (June - August) 1 year ago:
This transparency is very commendable!
I hope things stay manageable financially, you’re creating a lovely instance to be in :D
- Comment on Image uploads are now disabled on lemm.ee due to malicious users 1 year ago:
This is a very good decision, I worried about this problem from the very beginning that I learned about the Fediverse. Research must definitely be done to find CSAM detection tools that integrate into Lemmy, perhaps we could make a separate bridge repo that integrates a tool like that easily into the codebase.
I hope every disgusting creature that uploads that shit gets locked up

So glad, it was heartbreaking when I heard he had cancer, he seems like such a good person
- Comment on Is America Really That Bad? 1 year ago:
(though the last did not make it out before the attack on education)
I didn’t get that, what do you mean?
it’s a little less sticky here, more rising and falling going on than most places
How easy is it to go from working minimum wage to a well paying job if you can’t afford education to acquire a specialization?
Also say you go bankrupt and homeless because of some bad luck with your health leading to astronomical hospital bills. Is it even possible to recover from that and get back to an average life quality when covered with debt?

- Comment on Would you work for a corporation that you oppose ideologically, if the pay is good? 1 year ago:
Not really, and I don’t actually want to.
Thankfully I’m working for one of the companies that are an exception and are actually pretty innovative, it’s not bad despite the pay being a bit worse and the hours longer.
- Comment on Would you work for a corporation that you oppose ideologically, if the pay is good? 1 year ago:
This is quite a relevant question for me. In Greece there isn’t a lot of innovation and the government doesn’t really give a shit to fix the root problems, all young people that can change the scene leave for better countries.
That leaves us with very few companies that do something respectable and are worth working for, and a ton of gambling companies that feed off of the uneducated people. Those gambling companies are making huge profits and doing very well in general, so working for them is usually a nice experience from what I’ve heard of.
It’s often tempting, but I can’t justify participating in this disgusting industry to get more money, benefits and time. It would never sit well with me, but it always feels unfair how many jobs there are for that industry compared to anything else.
- Comment on Why were we able to stamp out Nazism but not the Taliban? 1 year ago:
Hate rhetoric takes many forms, even if you killed each and every Nazi regardless of whether they truly believed in that crap or were just following orders, it would still probably be revived as something with a different name.

- Comment on Why do we not eat pig or cow? 1 year ago:
calamari is just squid in Greek, maybe English people learned about cooking squid from Greece since there’s so many of them and the word for it just stuck
- Comment on In songs sung in English, a word ending with "t" followed by "you" sometimes makes the "you" sound like "chew". Does this happen in other languages with different words/sounds? 1 year ago:
The “ch” affricate (which is t͡ʃ in the IPA) is a mix of a voiceless alveolar stop component and a post-alveolar fricative component. Because “y” is palatal, you end up getting that post-alveolar fricative component through coarticulation.
