I don’t know what this is
- Comment on degree in bamf 1 month ago:
It’s an American obsession.
Are you just going to pretend that there is no racism anywhere else? It was the Europeans that colonised half the planet and invented the concept of “whiteness”.
- Comment on degree in bamf 1 month ago:
Personally I see most of these prejudicial issues being an exclusively American problem that has been exported abroad
Have you forgotten who colonised most of the world, including America?
- Comment on Israeli PM Netanyahu opposes establishing Palestinian state after war 3 months ago:
I mean Netanyahu is a colonialist war criminal currently committing genocide against the Palestinians, of course he is against the Palestinians having a state.

I feel this, used to drive a 70 horsepower car, overtaking on South African roads with that was a struggle.

My mom bought me some for school because she figured out I couldn’t use normal scissors. I was also doing occupational therapy for some other child health issues so my parents were very aware at the time.
- Comment on As a lefty it feels extra special when I get that glide finally 5 months ago:
Most scissors have a smaller top handle for your thumb, so when you flip it around, that small handle becomes the one the rest of your fingers are supposed to fit in, which makes it very difficult to use.
- Comment on As a lefty it feels extra special when I get that glide finally 5 months ago:
They’re the only ones I can use, I’ve tried to use normal scissors for my whole life and still can’t figure it out. Left handed scissors have the blades reversed.
- Comment on As a lefty it feels extra special when I get that glide finally 5 months ago:
I’m in my mid 20s and still can’t use normal scissors due to how left dominant I am lmao. Left handed, left footed, left eye dominant. Even the left side of my face is more handsome 💀

- Comment on Just wanted to thank this community for helping me have the best birthday I've had in years 7 months ago:
I’ve never even watched an episode of star trek before, but the memes here are still funnier than 99% of the stuff on Lemmy, and I’m glad you had a great birthday 🎂🥳
- Comment on Martin Scorsese urges filmmakers to fight comic book movie culture: ‘We’ve got to save cinema’ 7 months ago:
No lies detected.
Honestly tuned out of the whole Marvel Vinematic Iniverse stuff after the Avengers Age Of Ultron movie. It all felt so manufactured and artificial by then already.

You’re going to have to use what people around you use. Weather it’s Whatsapp, Instagram groups, whatever
- Comment on Nitrous oxide: Laughing gas to be illegal by end of year 8 months ago:
Hahaha. But yeah it’s not being banned because of that obviously. Just thought it would be interesting to add.
- Comment on Nitrous oxide: Laughing gas to be illegal by end of year 8 months ago:
Footballers are going to hate this. It’s an easy way to get high (for fun, not for performance) without being busted on a drug test.
- Comment on Suddenly seeing more hexbear posts. Did we re-federate with them? 8 months ago:
Another user already explained world systems theory, but there’s also the school of global historical materialism, that analyses the relationship and structure of the imperial core/triad and the periphery/global south. Samir Amin was a leading figure in that, he also coined the term “Eurocentrism”. You can find quite a few recordings of his lectures for free on YouTube, or pirate his books (he’s dead now, so it’s not like he’d get the money anyways).
- Comment on Suddenly seeing more hexbear posts. Did we re-federate with them? 8 months ago:
I’m going to try give this nonsense a serious response, even though it’s not worth it. That’s actually one of the times hexbear is the most inactive. Our userbase is majority American, and is more active during daytime in the US.
I know this because I’ve used hexbear in the mornings in my timezone (CAT) which is usually an hour behind MSK, and the website is completely dead. Only a few European users active.
- Comment on Hexbear federation megathread 8 months ago:
I’m sorry about that happening. I think a lot of hexbear users just comment on every instance as if they’re on hexbear, which has a very unique culture that will definitely seem extremely weird to outsiders. I remember first joining the site after subreddit bans and getting into some arguments over that.
I have been trying to tell other users (I’m just a normal user myself) to beware when they are on other instances and to tone down the “trolling” and similar antics. I hope the new rules around federation, as well as an upcoming emote scaling fix, can facilitate that.
Wish your instance (and other instances we are federated with) the best of luck on the fediverse.

- Comment on [Discussion] What is your go-to movie that you will never turn down? 8 months ago:
Yeah, one of the gems of the 2000s
- Comment on [Discussion] What is your go-to movie that you will never turn down? 8 months ago:
Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind. The premise always sucks me in, can’t turn it down. Not a good movie to watch on a date or in the beginning of a relationship though.
