You willingly watch dubbed movies!? Now that’s the first answer here for which I really understand the guilt.

Marvel movies.

No, you don’t.

I think a much simpler explanation is that none of those issues are inherently right-wing or left-wing, which is what I wanted to demonstrate with my examples.
8·4 days agoI still don’t even know what sport the “Eagles” play,
Surely some sport that involves flying.
How far left am I?
You are possibly not left at all, for every single one of the issues you list in your post is also promoted by established right-wing parties.
Homeless people should get free housing.
Danish right-wing populist party Dansk Folkeparti explicitly support that:

Rights for all!
Most political parties of all kinds agree on this, they just don’t agree on what it actually means.
Climate change is a real issue that needs to be taken care of.
Swedish right-wing populist party Sverigedemokraterna explicitly support that:

LGBTQ+ people deserve representation completely and everyone should be free of discrimination.
German right-wing populist party Alternative für Deutschland is led by a lesbian who calls her party “the only real protective force for gays and lesbians in Germany”:
Immigration is what shapes the United States (I use a lot of American examples because that’s where I live, sorry!) and they should not be tortured, deported, discriminated against, anything. It should be a free country and the borders should be less strict.
That’s a bit too US-specific for any other parties to have positions on your statement exactly, but in general most parties of all kinds in democratic countries are explicitly against torture and discrimination, including those who want strictly regulated immigration. Very few parties anywhere want no immigration at all, most just want it more strictly regulated.
Weapons should be banned and crime should somehow become a very rare thing to deal with.
Weapons as in the US is exceedingly rare outside of the US, and pretty much every right-wing party ever is strongly against crime.
So, just based on these issues, maybe you aren’t actually left at all.
11·6 days agoWhile I love the movie dearly, you might summarize the plot as some guy he didn’t really know happening to leave Rick some valuable documents before getting murdered and Rick then agonizing for a while before deciding to give these documents to the husband of this old girlfriend for sentimental reasons, the end.
4·11 days agoOne part of my full time job these past fifteen plus years has been to help maintain a foundational open source library that my employer and many many others are dependent on.
When it comes to total impact of open source work, I’m unlikely to ever surpass that.
2·11 days agoFirst something that you have probably already guessed yourself: practice,. practice and more practice.
Then something that too many people in my experience tend to not fully appreciate the value of: read code written by more accomplished programmers and try to figure out and understand why they wrote it the way they did.
Commodore’s bankruptcy in 1994 was the end of the Amiga, which forced me to switch to something else.
At the time, the choice of hardware I could afford and operating systems that didn’t suck was extremely limited, a PC with Linux was pretty much the only practical choice and I’ve stuck with that ever since.
18·13 days agoGreetings from Switzerland! First of all, I’d like to complain that the Swiss flag in the image is incorrect, the correct Swiss flag is a perfect square. Then I can attest that the diagram almost certainly shows the effect of causation.
I’m still using good ol’ Xournal. It isn’t really particularly good (and I’d be happy to find something better), but I’ve been using it since forever and the force of habit is strong.
2·14 days agoFunny thing: before the App Store, the original plan for the iPhone was that all third-party apps should be webapps.
Well, sure, but Freedman only joined several years and editions after my copy of the book was printed so I only learned about him today and in my mind the book is still just University Physics by Young, sorry about that.
That guilt is real. I readily admit to romcoms and kaiju movies, but knowing that every time I buy a ticket, I help feed the billion dollar slop machine, that stings.
