The world is pretty fucked up, it always has been and so it will continue to be.
And none of it really matters either, it's all just a tiny flash of light in the darkness that will soon fade away to nothing.

However, here we are, living in a beautiful planet that was blessed with life, so many different plants and animals, sounds, smells and tastes, music and art, being able to talk with others, laugh, cry, love. We're only microscopic creatures that live on the tiniest spec of dust imaginable, but to our tiny eyes there is plenty of beauty to be found. And for as long as we are able to see that beauty, there is a point to it for us, we can try our best to enjoy what we have for the little time that we have it, before we finally become one with the universe.

This aligns very well with my own philosophy about life, you couldn't have said it better!

That's some exceptional mental gymnastics right there, keep thinking like that and you'll go far

Really cool!

I'll believe it when I see it, but if it does happen then I hope this is just the beginning of brighter days for the LGBT+ community in Greece

Canadian airline being Canadian

This is why critical thinking is such an essential skill. So many people out there are convinced about things with bullshit arguments, just because the person talking is charismatic/confident or popular and influential.

Note: Critically thinking doesn't mean denying everyone and everything and holding controversial beliefs in order to feel smarter than others, it often starts with admitting your very own mistakes first. Just like with other's arguments you should be applying the same checks to your own thinking and notice your own fallacies to correct them.

I certainly hope so, but one side (which I won't name because I think it's obvious enough) doesn't seem content with just living their lives, they want to force themselves on the lives of others as well so that the whole country will be just as shitty as they are and then they won't have to feel so bad about it.

They don't though, otherwise there would be no need for a justice system altogether. There are "people" out there that have wet dreams of lgbt people being incriminated and women having less rights than men, the rest of society should be protected from them instead of putting them in government positions.

Nope

I love how unnecessary it was to the overall context lol

That's kinda like saying, "If someone pulls a knife on me in the street and asks for my wallet, nothing will happen because killing is illegal".

Google owns both Chrome and your password manager, at any time they are perfectly capable of pulling the plug on them, leaking data, charging you for them, etc.

I can't take cars like this seriously, I just assume whoever drives them is a total piece of shit

The one you sent seems a bit much for my use, but from what I see there are surely better backpacks out there than the one I use, it's worth it to make some research there. It probably makes more sense to go to physical stores and try them out with my laptop and keyboard so I see what they're really like.

We don't leave things here, it's an open office and we sit on different desks every time. It would very likely be stolen :P

2000 Gen Z, I grew up with them as well during 2013

Can't wait for the 'testicular examination' voting option to be added to Lemmy

I seriously hope that they won't be able to while they're warmongering in the east and keep on abusing the Greek borders to the west and claim that Greek lands belong to them. If they stop their bully behavior and play nice with their neighbors then I'll be glad to welcome them and keep history in the past.

Sadly the only mega project that might save us is getting rid of unchained capitalism

No idea about mechanical engineering, but Python is so easy to learn that you have a huge benefit over cost (in time) for it

I've moved completely to Arch and I don't think I'm going back. It supports every game I've wanted to play up until now except Fall Guys, worst case I'll set up a small Windows partition or VM for the couple of exceptions that I still want to play

This is pretty standard in concerts, just shove your way through some people to go someplace better

This is exactly the kind of inside joke shit content the Fediverse needs lmao

There's an amazing pizza I ate in Italy with tomato sauce, pieces of mozzarella, and a few pieces of basil (if I remember correctly), there's no cheese and it's eaten cold. I miss it so much it's one of the best things I've eaten ever

lmfao at the second one, the first one is actually pretty interesting if you do it on an actual plain pizza instead of a ready one

I ordered a Napoletana in Rome thinking it would be a Naples style pizza but it apparently has anchovies, I almost gagged while eating it but it was still a good pizza

Either educate yourself or go to that quarantined Nazi instance with the other inbred racist fucks and sugarcoat the Holocaust together

I think we are immensely biased being human, and not being able to communicate that well with animals.
Other animals don't cease to surprise us, and there are so many species that have heightened or entirely different senses than we do.
I feel like there's so much we don't yet know about these things and that there are many things that are accepted with hand wavey reasoning

It's fucking disgusting that humans have done shit like this

There's no reason to comment on a conversational post where the OP doesn't exist

Hey, don't you dare talk shit about Rus.. oh that Rust

It's definitely possible, but it would be a swiss army knife of an app that's way too hard to make compared to how confusing and messy the end result would probably be

Maybe my definition of "decent human being" is too strict, but it's way too rare for me to assume it.
I assume that someone I don't know is alright, but they have to do some kind act or show good behavior at their expense without expecting to be rewarded for me to understand that they really are a good person and aren't just good to others when it's easy and beneficial for them.

No reason, they're conventions. Check out this list and you'll get a better idea. It's simply a number that the developer assigns without a particular meaning. It's kinda like telephone help lines, one thing that a developer might want to try is to find a pretty memorable number while trying to avoid conflicts with other programs running at the same time.

It's sad how the whole world is going through a conservative nationalist phase, this isn't just a Canada thing but I've seen it in my own country and many other European countries and American states.

I think the city life with everyone being in a rush and overwhelmed with work has decreased the amount of third places a lot.

I still see some local caffés where people chill and the barista also sits with them at times and joins in the conversation, or people talking while they're getting a haircut etc. but it's mostly a bit older people, young people seem to keep to themselves more.

Then again, I'm quite introverted so it's hard for me to engage in conversation to the point where I might not even notice that some place is a "third place"

As ridiculous as it sounds, posts and inside jokes like these make a platform feel like something unique and special, it's like our very own poop knife post

Summer does suck for its own reasons, but I'm overall much happier during summer than the winter.
Maybe it's the sun, maybe it's the temperature or the lack of allergies, but I'm always in a much better mood and more energetic despite getting tired from the heat.

I'm having (or am going to have) some pretty serious personal issues, so that's pretty bad.
But on the bright side, I had fun playing DnD on the weekend and I opened my first ever open source PR on Lemmy
