I’m on beehaw but I so wish I could downvote you.

Dan Abramov swearing is like seeing a unicorn

Ok. Or you could answer my question instead of assuming I’m being disingenuous for wanting to understand you. If this is how you act towards people simply for asking a question then block me.

And no, it’s not obvious. It’s not obvious at all.

Hi, Norwegian here. Care to explain what you’re talking about? This country is far from perfect but your rhetoric is confusing and feels a little undeserved.

Meanwhile I just hate ads. I hate how deceptive and manipulative they are, and how the entire point is convincing people to Buy Product™ regardless of if it even works as advertised or will even be useful to the person. It always comes across as antisocial behavior to me, but maybe I’m way too radicalized from my hate of late stage capitalism and overconsumption.

Amazon has no business pointing out shitty practices at other companies when they are literally one of the worst companies in the world. But of course, slimy greedy fucks have no shame.

Unlike cigarettes, cannabis has medical uses and is not nearly as harmful especially if you don’t smoke it (vaping or edibles). It’s not completely safe (hardly any drug is) but it’s on a different level of safe compared to tobacco.

Both?

All the more reason to switch to Firefox!

The problem is capitalism.

In Norway it’s very common for pedestrians to walk red lights as long as there isn’t any cars. And it’s not illegal. Works pretty well for us.

You can’t make any word a slur. Slurs are specifically words used to show prejudice or to oppress a group of marginalized people. You’re not going to use the n-word, are you? So don’t use words that historically and still is used against intellectually disabled and developmentally disabled people.

Your “deal with it” rhetoric also doesn’t come across as anything else but a lack of good argument. You know you could just be a nice human and have empathy for people who are hurt by the words you’re using instead of being a stubborn asshole.

In my country the phrase “jævla homo” is a slur against gay people. So just because a word has multiple meanings doesn’t mean it isn’t a slur when used in the right context.

And please spare me from your passive-aggressive winking faces. It doesn’t come across as anything else but childish.

“Homo” and “Retard” are both slurs when used in a derogative way. As an autistic person who also happens to be gay, both words are hurtful when used in the way you use them. Please do better, especially if you’re not part of either minority group. Then it’s just embarassing for you to use words that you really shouldn’t be using.

Could you not use a slur please

I don’t even live in Germany and I hate it here

Do you know how effective propaganda can be?

Ah yes lemme just fight armed soldiers with my bare hands.

Yep. Nothing will change without actual government regulations. People just don’t care, and sadly that’s the reality. People will continue to not care as long as it doesn’t affect them in any way. It’s the same reason people with a lot of money vote for parties that enable them to have more money whilst not caring about how it affects people of lower “class”.

I’m not going to even consider Threads though, because I quite like Lemmy and even if Lemmy and Mastodon, etc gets “extinguished” by Threads, I will stay here. I assume a bunch will do the same.
