Holy shit this is gold 🤣

This made my week. Live. Laugh. Shitpost. 🙏🏼

I was just highlighting the juxtaposition in length and depth between the two comments by dropping a dumb meme one level deeper. I get that might come across as not taking this seriously, and I do apologise for that. 🙇🏼‍♂️

I genuinely value your post. It makes sense, and it fills me with dread precisely because I don’t see this changing quickly for the better. I do hope empathy and basic human decency prevail in the long run.

Absurdist humour is one of my coping mechanisms for exactly these kinds of topics, not a way to dodge them. This particular attempt may have overshot that mark a bit though.

Perfect timing… just read this pretty rough article myself yesterday:

This just makes me so sad. Imagine your abusers staying in power and being the most influential persons in the world. Just makes me wanna burn it all.

Or maybe the Nocebo effect instead? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nocebo

Literally came here to comment this lol

Blindsighted by Peter Watts right? Incredible story. Can recommend.

Lol. Thank you for your magical weirdness, kind stranger!

I make my bed because my cats will absolutely shed all their hairs on my side of the bed that one time I forgot to do it. Slightly allergic, so I learned fast lol.

Do you mean no longer part of the EU? Because for as far as I know the island is still geographically in Europe lol.

Back to back meetings has entered the chat

Goddamn I love Lemmy.

Thats a great question and to be completely honest, I’m not sure! I am fluent in Dutch and English, but not in German. So I’m not fully qualified to answer that haha. I can still understand part of German though, some works are just so similar in all three languages.

No they are completely different languages, but same root (Germanic), like many other Western European countries.

Voor mij een zwarte koffie zonder stroopwafel aub. De stroopwafel mag er wel los nog bij (en dus niet in de koffie haha snap je hem, wat een spraakverwarring zeg).

Well maybe not anyone…

Not sure if forums are dead. I still get some information from (German) forums where the hardcore techies or enthusiasts hang.

Lol. Gotta scan for those compressed gasses to figure out who the real one is then!
