For a stranger kind of fantasy: Gormenghast books by Mervyn Peake

Fuck Hamas, enemy of palestinians.

I think some of these requirements have a lot to do with bots and trolls. If Lemmy were as popular as Reddit, we’d probably see way more rules like that.

We have all kinds in my city: Medieval cobblestone, brick roads and asphalt. As a cyclist I have to tell you that I hate all kinds of brick roads that I have encountered. Even when they’re not the horrible middle age version, they will often get deformed by roots or depression of the ground quite rapidly, making them even more bumpy. For this reason I think, I saw in Sweden in an otherwise bricky city center that they had a narrow asphalt lane on the side of the road for cyclists. I was just amazed that someone would spend that much thought into what’s great for cyclists. As a cyclist I really love asphalt :D

But the whole meme is pointless. Seems like calling out that these people shouldn’t have been allowed to be part of a new society after the nazi state was destroyed. It’s not that easy no matter how much people like to draw history and the world as a whole as black and white.

For example Hallstein: He was never a member of the NSDAP. Yes, he fought in WW2 for the Germans but after the war he was a leading figure in the new democratic German academia and afterwards worked towards having Germany integrated into international institutions.

For anyone who thinks it’s a good idea to punish every last one who was part of a criminal, even cruel and inhumane movement: Look at Iraq. So many people who were part of Saddams party, even teachers, bureaucrats and whatnot… They where mostly expelled from society and a potential rehabilitation. And the direct consequence of these actions was the formation of ISIS because these people didn’t have a perspective in the new state and society. So being very consequential, as all things, can have very unforeseen (but actually quite forseeable) consequences.

Lol thats literally what I say to the flies. But my death/hit ratio is probably 0.3.

At least it supports 2FA with hardware keys. Something that seemingly no bank is able to support after years and years have passed…

Corn me up snake

Und auf Dauer auch schlauer.

Whataboutism is a stupid concept in itself as this term is now hurled at anyone who wants to make a comparison or add some context to an argument. So I’d say using the word “whataboutism” isn’t helpful.

Typical aggressive online SJW behaviour. Preaching absolute truths and spitting condemnations as if no one had thought about it before. Obviously, the world can be best explained without any nuance or shades of grey ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You’re totally right and the discussion (as so many these days) is completely bollocks.

Since when should the public have the right to demand what an artist ought to put in his work or must not omit. I don’t get it…

Havent read that sentence since I left reddit (and WSB with it hahaha).

Now thats a very good opinion that I totally endorse.

I have Jerboa on /e/ OS and I can’t downvote. But I’m on the reddthat instance (not sure why) so maybe that plays a role too?

OK its more complicated. I can downvote when I view replies in my inbox. But I cant downvote when I view replies in my profile of when browsing posts in channels.

You guys can downvote?

Love this meme too. I actually have a desktop wallpaper of it.

I really like jerboa, reminds me a bit of infinity. But since I only just migrated two days ago I have no comparison regarding the performance.

I can only imagine what must be happening behind the scenes with such a considerable influx of new users. Will donate soon to do my part :)
