  Maybe things will go back too when the internet was a less decentralized and more for a select few who were interested? Personally that’s when I enjoyed the internet the most. Were message boards reigned supreme and chatrooms were filled with 30 year men pretending to be women. Actually that last part hasn’t changed

  Oh my bad. Didn’t see it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breaking the generational barriers⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No offense but I’ve heard and seen the exact opposite. I’ve been told don’t go farther east than Praha if you’re brown. ESPECIALLY small eastern European towns/villages.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breaking the generational barriers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I live in and visited multiple countries in Europe. You’re all just as arrogant. The only exception is eastern Europe but they’re just racist/homophobic

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breaking the generational barriers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What is it with Europeans shitting on Americans on the internet so much lately? If we’re being honest everything that is current day American is either directly or indirectly their fault.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The "We Tried" Award⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Meanwhile it seems like the American consciousness think of the Vietnam War as almost a national scar akin to 9/11.

  That’s because it was the first widely televised war we had ever seen plus it was right in the middle of the Civil rights movement. So a war we lost during a major era of change that influenced American attitudes about warfare and civil rights. It left internal scars

  Really shows you the differences in mindset. Americans hold on to the past like it’s a lifeline while most other places we kinda just deal with shit and move on.

  Well the majority of ppl who remember the Vietnam War are still alive. Considering veterans from Vietnam have health complications from agent orange no one is forgetting anytime soon. Western Europe hasn’t had a major war in almost 80 years

  If ww2 had happened to America the same way it happened to Europe, they would have made it they whole identity and pissed and moaned about it still. We would never hear the end of it.

  This is just a long winded attempt to complain about Americans. Europeans are exactly the same as Americans. You both carry a smug sense of superiority. The only difference is Americans are louder about it. Just look at attitudes about the war in Ukraine or whenever there’s a terrorist attack in western Europe compared to anywhere in the global south. Both act like they’re the center of the world. Plus its kinda hard to gloat about 2 World Wars that you started in the first place. Only reason it was a world war in the first place is because Europeans felt so superior that they went around colonizing everyone because they were better than everyone else and forced them to get involved

  There is no default. You like what you like. That’s my opinion at least. If everyone minded their own damn business this wouldn’t be a topic of discussion anyway

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why so much hate toward AI?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I can only speak as an artist.

  Because it’s entire functionality is based on theft. Companies are stealing the works of ppl and profiting off of it with no payment to the artists who’s works its platform is based on.

  You often hear the argument that all artists borrow from others but if I created an anime that is blantantly copying the style of studio Ghibili I’d rightly be sued. On top of that AI is copying so obviously it recreates the watermarks from the original artists.

  Fuck AI

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Switch 2: Is it worth buying?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I like how nintendo has this cute and fun image yet they’re the most cut throat, “you’ll own nothing and like it” company in gaming.

  Fuck the switch 2 and if you buy it you’re actively making the community worse by okaying their shitty practices.

  Anything from Nintendo I’m emulating

  Dear God you could absolutely ruin someone’s life

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's play this game again⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There was a cowboy bebop episode kinda like this. Sympathy for the devil I think

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who needs it?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No thanks. Lemmy isn’t great by any means but social media is poison and a direct cause of the current state of affairs

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Robot chefs take over at South Korea’s highway restaurants, to mixed reviews⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah that 4 day work week might become a thing. You’ll just work 17 hours a day. Samsung just extended their work weeks to 64 hours a week regarding semiconductors street complaining about the 52 hours limit. You guys are good at fighting facism and corruption as long as Samsung isn’t involved. And your birthrate raised by .03 to .75. A healthy population needs like 2.1. And you guys are not immune from inflation and global markets so your cost of living has gone up like everyone else. And considering the poverty rate for the super young and the really old are sky high things aren’t looking good.

  I’m not trying to shit on South Korea but you guys are just as fucked as everyone else. It’s no paradise

  Lol yeah right. I’m sure the only thing stopping Brandon from working at a Michelin restaurant is his McDonald’s job off of I-95

  Or you could just give me examples of famous figures of the ethnicities you mentioned being represented as black. I’ve yet to see Miyamoto Musashi, Santa Ana, Buddha, Alexander the Great, or Saladin played by Morgan Freeman or Idris Elba

  This is absolutely the worst time for such a bill, so of course it has a better chance of succeeding than ever before.

  I feel before the late 60s would also be a time this bill would pass pretty easily. Ppl really need to recognize this brand of fascism is nothing new in west. Historically it’s pretty damn normal

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨“This script is fantastic. Let’s get Julia Roberts to play Harriet Tubman.”⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok where is all this black washing of Asian, arab, latino, etc figures? If anything they get white washed as much as black figures do or are reduced to stereotypes with zero depth.

  Only thing that comes to mind is Jada Pinkett’s shitty Netflix series that no one watched

  I dunno. I feel if you live long enough you’d eventually become wealthy. If not you’re just incompetent
