Not even trying to say the Netherlands is a bad place or anything. My point was more to bring up the idea that our “just not bikes” friend is really focusing on a narrow list of things, when there are many reasons to not move somewhere new.

His idea that we should all abandon North America is just wild to me lol. There are so many other things to take into account.

My salary would drop by almost half if I got an equivalent job in Europe. Bro, this is why I live in the US to begin with lol.

You guys have a warped perspective. Besides major infrastructure, most of the issues the feds aren’t even present in. It’s almost entirely local government, and they are a lot easier to change and influence.

This is one of the main reasons I don’t really like the channel.

I like the content, I like the ideas presented. That is why I watch it.

I kinda don’t like the guy though.

He also has major grass is greener syndrome in that he has distilled his entire life seemingly to the specific issues he talks about in the video and nothing else.

Like the Netherlands is his main place right? Well they are pretty damn racist over there. Even if it isn’t in your face, it’s always subtle. And to other white people. Romanians and Bulgarians get discriminated against all the time.

Example: My cousin gf (Romanian) applied for housing as as she now has an internship. Over email and the phone she was told yea there are many units available.

First time she goes to talk to them in person, all of a sudden nothing is available. Listings still show housing availability lol.

Her English is pretty good, but she has a clear accent.

So she makes my cousins (her bf) go in person. Except he doesn’t tell them he’s with her. He has better English, more neutral accent. There are units available of course.

Lol.

I’m glad he refers people to other resources to check out, but……I just don’t like his attitude lol.

I literally saw a guy earlier today in that one large memes thread trying to convince people that Eastern European countries yearn for the USSR days.

Only tankies try to do that lol.

Lol half the comments are “idk what you’re talking about”. A good chunk are proving OP right, and the rest is America hate.

Exactly like on Reddit. Literally isn’t any different here.

Lemmy got rid of the auto refresh you’re referring to. No more live updates.

How is Microsoft and Target rebrands when it literally still says Microsoft and Target?

Can I get an explanation as to how these companies are “marketers of ai panic”?

I’m in it until this happens.

A mix of limited menu during the week, and food prepping are the biggest things.

If I know the upcoming week will be busy, I’ll batch cook on Sunday and just reheat the rest of the week.

Otherwise, learning simple recipes I can whip up quick. Practice makes perfect after all, and the more I cook, the faster I get.

Honestly, this might be a hot take but when it comes to food in the modern western world, people are really privileged lol. Why is the expectation that you eat something different every day for every meal?

You’re so right lol. Most of these memes are completely brain dead.

It’s the dominant economic idea in the entire western world.

Even the Social democracies like Sweden are just a degree of neo liberalism. You won’t find most people saying they want communism.

If anything hardcore leftists are out of touch, including the OP.

You can downvote me all you want, but it’s no secret that this instance was essentially a communist refuge lol.

You trying to guilt people into generating content? Lol.

This isn’t a job. This is for leisure. No one should force it.

You’re right, this is an unpopular opinion.

I find it funny that

1. You care this much about what other people drive when it has nothing to do with safety.

2. Think people even think about Elon when they buy a Tesla.

None of this is what I was looking for.

Meta is plugging in USBs or connecting to people’s accounts en masse to get into people’s encrypted backups? I think not.

People keep claiming Meta does this, does that when it comes to microphones. Where is the proof? I haven’t seen a SINGLE piece of evidence to show that Meta is listening to you at all times when you aren’t using the app. I only ever see people’s anecdotes of “it heard me talk about something cause it popped up later”.

Show me evidence that Apple has a backdoor for companies like Meta, that circumvent their normal iOS functionality.

Tbh I never looked before all this went down (cause why would I lol), so maybe there were changes and it wasn’t a “all airbnbs are banned” sort of thing. Maybe it removed a lot of listings.

How did they end up banning AirBnBs? I was just browsing Montreal AirBnBs yesterday ( funny enough).

Leftists aren’t tankies. Tankies are specifically pro USSR.

A pro authoritarian state. That’s why they are called tankies after all lol.

I mean if you’re gonna be making a literal english joke like this, then if there is no user input, then there is no user input to sanitize, which means no excuse is needed.
