To be fair, I too was one obnoxious little fucker when I went all in on politics in my teens before I came to acceptance that it doesn’t have to marinate exactly everything and everybody at every single moment in time.
I’m still very political though I no longer need to make a display of it.

“I think the weather is rather nice today.”
This opinion is now about global warming and the impact of logistics in post imperialist globalist consumerism.
Because I’m first year in uni and have just discovered politics and you bet I can shoehorn it into anything.
- Comment on [deleted] 15 hours ago:
Nah, this opinion of yours for example is just a simplistic soundbite that you think might sound informed and intelligent but it is not.
- Comment on [deleted] 17 hours ago:
I agree but i don’t agree that anything is a shower thought and even more rarely do political options fit in as one.
- Comment on Exposing Zalando 1 day ago:
I don’t buy much clothes but I’m in need to order some new ones. Zalando was great because of the vast selection of brands - despite them making it harder to filter on environmentally better options already several years ago. Now I don’t want to use them any more. Any suggestions for good, ethical and preferably environmentally friendly online stores for Sweden/EU?
- Comment on How would you run a society? 1 day ago:
It doesn’t have to be a person or an entity or deity.
I haven’t been nerdying on religion for much long many moons but AFAICR Buddhism has this core idea that “yeah we have symbols and chants and icons and totems and rituals and we pray but the more we dedicate ourselves we understand that they are just there for us to see beyond them into the nothing and the everything”. In Buddhism this has evolved into place, so it would be interesting to see if it was possible to kickstart straight into some sort of non deity centric anti religion without the animistic precursory heritage.
- Comment on How would you run a society? 1 day ago:
I’d prefer not to. I’d like to make it Buddhist philosophy inspired non-religion if possible. But people seem to have this need of something to gather around and have rituals and festivities and believe in so religion is still useful. I’m thinking it would be easier to get everybody pulling together early on in a theocracy though the deep teaching aims to dissolve itself.
The teachings would promote (or demand) something of an egalitarian society with food and shelter and healthcare for everybody and encourage learning and education and culture and arts and own responsibility and critique and discussion and questioning the whole shebang in orderly fashion with ongoing goals of improving it for everybody.
- Comment on How would you run a society? 1 day ago:
First steps would be to create a religion with all the usual “be kind and caring and patient and forgiving and nice in general to others and yourself” and then “do not be an asshole unless the others were an asshole first and then you may respond in moderation with an appropriate pinch of extra salt” and the ritual of an Aztec pyramid with slice and dice and flush them down the sewage sacrifice of any billionaires and power hungry totalitarians and corrupt public servants. Every year that do not require any sacrifice pleases the gods. But any year it is needed, the gods are content that required action was taken.

Biological programming goes a long way.
It goes hand in paw with being instinctively scared of things that can potentially kill you and other species evolution with patterns and markings that make them less likely to become a succulent meal, Chinese or not.

Some preemptive advice if you’re in the market of implementing TTS for some customer or service:
Do not ever use any “humanisation” tweaks. Having a computer voice stumble on a word or fucking cough is uncanny valley and how to make people feel manipulated in one simple trick.
Just don’t. Everybody hates it.
- Comment on Windows 10 LTSC – the version that won't expire for years 1 week ago:
Another twenty plus years Linux server and devices admin and user that found last year that Linux is finally mature and stable enough to replace my desktop too without having the fiddle with it every once in a random update. It was a decision that I can accept making workarounds for legacy windows software and l can live without other eco system. Yeah, there are plenty of reasons that people are still running Windows and keep doing so.
Don’t make being user of an operating system your identity, people. It’s just as annoying and unnecessary as those Apple fanboys we all know and dislike.

- Comment on What is it about humans when society rewards individuals with the power of millions they want to use it to fuck up society? 3 weeks ago:
I’ve been leaning lately to understanding all the weird shit going on that people are just people are driven by whatever inherited animal traits that made humans the dominant species on the planet in the first place. Expansionist hoarders of resources until we run out and then expand again. Until there is nowhere more to expand. Then it be war times.

As far as we know, from what OP has told. But it doesn’t really matter. The only thing that matters is that OP moves on. Both OP and this girl will be better off without this toxic interaction of theirs.

Harsh truth for you bud. She doesn’t like you and she probably hates you for trying to get her to like you. She treats you bad because you let her and keep coming back for more. Honestly, I’d hate anybody doing that with me. I’d lose all my respect for that person very fast. I think most people do. This is on you to accept it and get on with life. She’s already made it clear that she’s not interested in whatever you are hoping for.

From my Xennial experience, some time in the 00s. Maybe because the wide spread (heh) availability of internet porn, but I don’t really know. 90s were bushy. 00s was a transitional era and 10s and onwards are bald eagles everywhere.
(Personally I don’t enjoy shaving my parts, I don’t enjoy having shaved parts and I prefer lady parts with some trimmed carpeting rather than both desert dunes or wild djungles.)

It could also be conditioning and culture. A lot of American culture seems to be centered on the ego, the satisfaction of the ego and then a very fast escalation to anger and violence if the ego is perceived to be threatened.
I don’t think it is realistic to wish it go away with the generation exposed to lead paint. And I doubt it is productive to make microplastics the new excuse.

I’ve been craving something like this as an alternative to Trakt since their latest enshittification. Are there other alternatives? Do they share protocols and whatnot like lemmy, kbin, Mastodon etc?
