Caveat: Neither do most web pages.

It’s possible to criticize both Mastodon and Bluesky for their respective issues

Sure, they’re both Twitter-like and hence inherently unsuited to having a discussion for starters.

I mean, as long as Twitter goes down, who exactly gets to do the killing blow among all the individual blows doesn’t truly matter now, does it?

It’s not, this isn’t from Starbucks. It’s just some shitty-arse app that adds this to ~all the listings on it, probably assuming it to be the default.

I mean migration is a real thing, if your country is so broken and backwards that education is privately paid, might as well migrate to a better and more civilized country?

Get out! :P

Yeah but if you think about to, from a law perspective that’s an implementation detail. Sure, from our perspective it’s a really important one, but from the perspective of a lawmaker it’s about whether it should be done, not how it’ll be done in execution (different branches of state, basically).

I mean, yeah. But also, this isn’t really any different from kids not being allowed to drink alcohol before a specific age, movies and video games having age minima, etc etc.

And I would surmise the same reasoning applies: On average, someone so young has neither the mental development nor the life experience to be able to judge well what they are doing with their own information and how to judge/process the information they get shown.

Of course, this should happen in conjunction with actual education, like I at least had for alcohol and stuff. But it’s an entirely normal thing if it happens as part of a multi-step process (and I am not australian enough to judge how well those things work out in australia in general).

No they need to also be pushed off a cliff.

Yeah I immediately looked around, too. And this seems to be entirely made up. And of course nowadays while there is a linked video, no one can easily know whether that has not been generated and then spliced so that the easy-tell artifacts aren’t visible.

🤷

But yeah if things had actually happened as described I would at least find a few German news sources about this, especially because I can find dozens and dozens of news about the demo itself being planned for that date. So there’d be enough pages who would be posting an update about something this easily clicks-drawing.

Nothing. And that’s good.

Don’t worry, you’ll soon get massive tax cuts for companies and their executives, while basic goods get 25%-35% pricier for the worker class due to the tariffs since the orange potato has to fun those tax cuts somehow.

Half a gallon of rice water?! :P

they just litter all through nature when they go camping

Many americans do just that, yes. :'(

A very american perspective, tbh. From soneone in a country where you’re not allowed to carry a gun around as a random idiot, it’s so wild to read.

Then again, I also understand that this external perspective has little meaning. You can’t magically wish the laws + all those guns away, and like in any arms race you can’t be entirely unarmed until you can enact a more permanent de-armament solution later.

not a replacement for actual hardwork and talent

But… it is*?

*: From the perspective of upper management and higher.

Don’t worry, he just made a type in “crypto grift studio”.

I have never heard of either.

Are you hiding your engagement metrics? 😱

Yeah that’s the thing. It’s one thing to rail about immigrants, the elderly, the homeless, whatever. The same people who do that think quite differently after a year of civil service in a refugee shelter camp, caring in a geriatric station for people with ~no family or providing food for the homeless. It changes you. In a good way, you get to see a wholly different perspective of society, and this perspective is sorely missing with so many people. 😢
