I'm struggling with the question what exactly is hard to understand. Soldier's parents live in the constant fear that their child might one day just be killed in some conflict a d in order to cope, they use their patriotism
Adopt baby Hitler and raise him in a way that would not give rise to the kinds of feelings and ideologies that could lead him down the path of ethno-nationalsim.
That’s when we figure out that this is the path that lead him to flip flop completely hating everything you taught. You went back to stop Hitler only to be the thing that caused his reign of terror. Life would have that kind of irony.
On the one hand, sushi is delicious. On the other hand, I don’t like parasites and raw meat is one of the most common sources of them. This I think is one of the fundamental conflicts of humanity.
Heads up, Hitler’s mom died of breast cancer when he was young. If you’re going to seduce her, you should be emotionally prepared for the consequences.
I appologize for deleting all my posts. And I don’t at the same time. Maybe try asking here in more general communities? Everything doesn’t have to come from a boutique subreddit.
I was talking about stuff that was already there. A bunch of specific questions that most people wouldn’t think of.
An example would be Thinkpad. More often than not, when you search for a solution for your problem, it would yield some Reddit links on the first page.
Just finished binging the 12 Monkeys TV show, thats just variations on an oops loop. If you seduce Hitlers mom you’ll just end up being the father figure he never met. If you strand him in Nepal then either Hitler or any Austrian who witnesses you doing the timey-wimey dance will just blame an international cabal of time traveling Jews for it.
Delicious. One of the few fights my wife and I had was when she offered me some of her sushi she had just purchased and I put some butter in a pan and lightly seared both sides and then sat down next to her… and that’s when the fight started.
Tasted delicious though, had her try it and she agreed that it tasted better cooked but also that defeated the whole premise of Sushi and I was going to hell for doing this thing.
She no longer offers me sushi. Also, it turns out sushi people are just eating raw fish because they are pretentious and not because it taste better raw.
This is pretty much why I’m in favor of worker coops or any other form of democratizing the work place. All it takes is a greedy CEO or a shareholder board wanting increasing profits to ruin a good thing. If the workers themselves are the ones making those decisions, then you need to convince the majority of the company to ruin a good thing. Somehow I doubt the people doing the actual work at Reddit would’ve decided to fuck the site like that.
I don’t need Lemmy to be a replacement for Reddit anymore than I needed Reddit to be a replacement for Digg. It’s a different platform and it’s allowed to be different.
I need Lemmy to simply be a social link sharing and message board. And it’s doing that perfectly.
I also don't need it to have a bazillion-septillion-megamillion users to consider it successful. In my mind, engagement with 10 people is worth much more than a thousand upvotes from someone mindlessly clicking my post.
Yeah, I’ve realized I mostly want “social media” as a place to create discussions. For that, honestly, the smaller community size is perfect.
I find massive communities have a way of devolving into hive minds. Once you reach a critical mass of people who think one thing, any comment to the contrary is just… obliterated, whether by an exhausting amount of argument, or downvotes. And then it just becomes known that that’s the opinion of the community, and people stop even bringing it up. At least that’s my theory on how it happens.
Over here, with a smaller community size, I’m finding a lot more genuine conversation, no matter the topic. It’s awesome. And I’m still finding Lemmy large enough to bring me interesting links and memes to talk about.
Reddit has made me realise that I have an aweful sense of humor, because none of my silly joke comments would get any upvotes. On lemmy, I almost always get at least one upvote or a comment. It ain’t much, but I like that my comment made someone’s day second, even it’s just one person.
Reddit only upvotes the same rehashed, repeated, stupid Reddit phrases spewed ad nauseam. You’ll always be upvoted for “play stupid games, win stupid prizes!!!111” or calling people Karens, or “equal rights, equal lefts” and all that absolute twaddle.
Damn, I just realized right now that I haven’t seen a single /s or someone upset that another comment left of a /s here. At least, I don’t recall any, there’s probably been a few of the first at least. But it’s nice being in a community where you don’t have to bash some users over the head with what you’re trying to say.
It wasn’t that rare to see one comment heavily downvoted but that commenter upvoted in replies to replies. Sometimes it was on them for poorly presenting their thoughts in the first place, but it seemed like the majority would often put their own meaning to comments and any doubt would lead to assumptions that the commenter was evil or something. Though I have seen that phenomenon here, including today.
Once you reach a critical mass of people who think one thing, any comment to the contrary is just… obliterated, whether by an exhausting amount of argument, or downvotes.
There’s also this effect where when you get further down a comment chain only people who really care about that particular argument keep reading. So past say comment 3 everyone is super duper opinionated.
