ineffective the left are at capturing any of the population. It's dead in

In North America.

I think your sense of politics on a national level, is massively dirtied by your southern neighbour.

The left isn't ineffective. Most people definitely know and favour leftist policies if you go ask them. Only some weird right wingers wouldn't agree that it's the government's job to help it's people.

So because there's no good talking points on the right, the current propaganda is "don't even support the left, they won't achieve shit". As is sowing apathy. Apathy is the single greatest tool an oppressor could wield. When people don't believe change is possible, no-one does anything about it. "why bother" they say "it won't work anyway".

You can't know until you try. I know I'm too guilty of this as well. But realising something and being able to not be affected by it are two different things.

"Two variations of the hero's journey?"

What's the second one?

Also, Dan Harmon would like a word about story circles.

I mean say what you will of the guy but he's not even close to being the moan derivative writer I know. Hell, I'd even argue he has had a few original thoughts at one point or another.

But yeah, you hit the nail on the head with the comment. However the whole "nothing new under the sun" thing is literally thousands of years old, so it's not like people haven't been complaining about similar things for ages.

The left can't bother to do much beyond tell others to disengage and not work too hard.

You're American, aren't you?

You do know that in the US, roughly one people out of 10 are literal millionaires, yet your major cities still have huge homeless populations (whom most have jobs by the way, some homeless people working several jobs) and literal shit on the street.

Say what you want about the Nordic model but it's definitely much further left than whatever bullshit America is doing.

And we're doing pretty okay. We have no human shit on our streets. Can you say the same?

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago

Nonsense?

Ah, so when you're talking about how smells work, it's "if you really think about it", but when anyone else actually thinks about it and says their thoughts, it's "parroting nonsense".

I just don't think you like me having disagreed with a thing you said, as smells don't propagate in the same way sound and light does and I can't just say they do for your sake.

doesn't make it any better btw

D'you think I was trying to..?

flow form higher to lower concentration

Turbulent flow is quite different to laminar flow, even when you don't account for one being propagated as waves and the other not.

Humans do not have smell accurate enough for it to be described as sterescopic. Sorry. Facts don't agree with you. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Honestly, I often feel like a foreigner in my own country

I'm Finnish, but same.

Happy new year, if it's possible

Pff never existed bro. Youre dreaming.

Back in like 2000 aimbotters were more plentiful than now. Some all-seeing eye privately servers lol

Youre idealising history you never experienced

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (4 children)

If you think about it, smells don't act like waves, unlike sound and light.

You can locate things with smell, but not in the same way as sound and light. Yes, some species do have prominent stereo smell, so they can know a direction from which a smell is emanating, but the emanation doesn't propagate like waves.

*laughs and points at the USA mockingly with the rest of the world*

Why do you accept this ludicrous system of "doing taxes" when it's just a scheme for private companies to get your money as you pay them for doing it / systems for doing them yourself, even when the government already knows everything it needs to.

It's called return-free filing. Here's Adam explaining it for Americans.

What reality?

Do you not read the comments you reply to?

Russian strategy was exactly to perpetuate the idea eveyone hates Democrats and to vote third party or to not vote at all "to protest the system".

You're literally propagating Russian propaganda. It doesn't even matter if it's true. The fact is that it's well known and documented that that is exactly what the Russians kept chanting when they managed to influence the American elections.

So gz either you're brainwashed by Russians or you're actually one. Idk which one is more shameful tbh

 

More news like this and less about orange clowns.

Wish the world made sense.

Siberia is a very unique piece of territory that few people truly understand. Due to Russia's war against Ukraine, some interesting trends have emerged in Siberia. In this video, I draw a line through Siberia's dark history, from the Russian Empire, to the Soviet Union, to the Russian Federation. I ask the questions "Would Siberia ever want to secede, and if so, could they?" Then, to tie it all off, I bring China into the picture. Whatever happens, one thing is clear - history in the making is far more fascinating than we ever imagined.

 

The agency said the source of the interference had been traced to Russian territory, and also affected shipping. Other European nations have accused Russia of being behind the jamming, which Moscow denies.

 

North Karelia force says fence dividing Finland and Russia is no Berlin Wall – but it is now a key geopolitical faultline

... In an attempt to strike a note of optimism, he added: “We found a solution in 1944 and I’m sure that we will be able to find a solution in 2025.”

Matti Pitkäniitty, the commander of the North Karelia border guard district, believes illegal border crossings involving Russian defectors are likely to become a growing problem. Pointing to a gap in the vegetation where an old Finnish country lane passed through before the border was redrawn in 1940 after the Russo-Finnish war, resulting in Helsinki ceding part of Karelia, Pitkäniitty said most civilians trying to cross illegally preferred to stick to roads, limiting the number of potential routes.

“People are afraid of those thick forests here,” he said. But this would not be an issue for a Russian military professional trying to flee the war in Ukraine. “Now, one of the risks we are facing are the military-trained personnel fleeing the war. They of course know how to navigate through the woods and how to survive there if they need to stay out of sight for a couple of days.”

 

This is an old picture, I'm working up hunger to cook burgers today but the problem is the hungrier you get the less energy you'll have.

I got some beef and horse that I'm gonna mix, add a little beef fat to make a nice 75/25 mix i think or 80/20.

I want to eat to have energy to cook what a paradox

 

Calling out davriellelouna@lemmy.world obvious spam makes them delete my comment and ban me as a spammer.

A SINGLE COMMENT on their community is spam, but someone posting 10-minute reads every 5-minutes 247/365 isn't spam?

Honestly whoever mod this was, however fking stupid are you to let your emotions take over and admit I'm right by banning me for one comment calling out literal spam?

Ah, Lemmy is occasionally really entertaining (because unlike them, my life isn't on the line so I don't get upset like they seem to :D)

 

They're so insecure that they don't understand that banning me for calling out davriellelouna@lemmy.world as davel@lemmy.ml proxy spam account is "bad faith".

How is it in bad faith? These people don't even understand the words of the rules they're using, lol.

Literally every accusation from them is an admission, and because I called out bad-faith users spamming links, I got banned supposedly for arguing in bad faith.

Feels like lemmy is mostly just russians, honestly, which is understandable as the pathetic fuckers can't engage anyone on any properly moderated forums

 

Don't know who bothers paying for these and why.

Not the best use of money I can think of, lol.

 

I've nothing to add.

 

Like a palms width away from the elbow, on the inside of your right forearm.

So... why do you have them?

 

But browsing active >95% of posts are by a user with literally "bot" in their name.

Might as well be reading the Google feed if I'm going to be reading a specific agenda by something, at least that's based on my interests and I can trust Google to put profit over everything, making their motives clearer than whatever the fuck is going on on Lemmy. (Cough tankies cough cough)

 

That's it. I'm looking for a specific bit, can't seem to find it. About a standup being impressed by a crusty old junkie tasting the sub-par quality of the drugs through injecting them?

It's not like the core of the bit, it's just on the sides iirc. It's someone like Tom Segura, John Mulaney, Jim Jefferies, uh... idk. I went through Ali Siddiq, Ari Shaffir, and a bunch of others. Tried using LLM's to help me search as well. Just can't seem to narrow it down, fucking brain full of weed can't remember anything clearly. Maybe Sam Morrill?

But I'm pretty sure there's a bit where a standup talks about some veteran drug user injecting either heroin/cocaine, probably cocaine iirc, and then sort of getting a bad taste in their mouth, and the comedian expressing how impressed they were that the user could taste the adulterants through the needle.

I hear the sarcastic tone, but ugh, can't recall who.

I'm just posting this on the off-chance someone just knows the bit and can tell me.

Edit found it it was Marc Maron and “the Legend of Frankie Bastille”
