Well I was used to MMOs with different servers and I thought I’d have to create an account for each if I wanted to be with my friends. I didn’t know Mastodon was NOT a mere Twitter alternative, and I wasn’t familiar with the concept of the fediverse.

Oh yeah that’s true, and also that’s why we should move away from lemmy.world. It’s great to welcome newcomers but it shouldn’t be where most users are.

I’m glad no one said spiders, although they are scary they’re the best roommates

Might be a naive question but what prevents instance admins here on Lemmy to also give this information?

I won’t get a boner

Yes my house by me

Lemmy brings out the old internet!

I don’t think it’s possible, unless he lives on little saint james…

Well, none. He can do whatever he wants.

His government is slightly smarter than him so for now we’re safe, however no one’s going to stop a dictator.

It will inevitably happen. One day a dumb enough ruler will use it.

But what happens next? Do we just stop there, apologize and go back to our normal lives?

And you’re probably right, the next bomb would destroy that ruler, but only if the receiver has nukes as well. If he doesn’t, who’s going to do anything to defend/avange him? No one wants to enter an nuclear war.

Definitely yeah they’re on another level

I translated an online course with deepL, that sums up what we’ve seen on him (allegedly, I don’t remember exactly as it was back in high school!):

Sorry, didn’t find any other way to paste this long ass text without polluting the comments so I used this.

I had never realized how much propaganda they feed the children in the US…

What should they use then? Confidential information shouldn’t be sent through emails anyway. Might as well just choose the convenient way for the rest.

Excuse me? Alongside Hitler?? Im so sorry, the United State’s education system is fucked up. Well I guess it isn’t that surprising. You were also taught that WWII was won by the great and powerful USA.

He was treated as an important philosopher and was a recurrent author used to criticize the current system. and we used a lot of excerpts from his manifesto, das Kapital…

But he wasn’t seen as you’d depict him in communist countries. We confronted his ideas with Arendt’s for example…

Ultimately, we weren’t taught that he was bad or good, we were just taught his thoughts among other philosophers’ and we used them to write our own essays, form our own opinions.

What. The. Hell. That’s actually crazy. I wonder what country that is…

In my highschool we actually had to study him. And it was far from a ☭ communist country.

Edit: lmao why the hell do I have a shortcut to automatically replace communist with ☭

Jobs? Nope we don’t do this anymore

I don’t know if it’s your fault honestly. It’s the system that makes you want to offshore your work to developing countries and not hire local employees. I get it. It’s cheaper. But when even independent developers start doing this we have reached post-late stage capitalism at this point

Don’t threaten us with a good time
