He is. Read it again.

A carving of Trumps face is hardly a national monument anymore than a statue of Lenin or Saddam Hussein was.

It would be vandalized very quickly, which could be a nice outlet for a lot of people.

With time it would probably turn orange from all the piss too.

It doesn’t. It’s mainly the toothbrush that cleans the teeth.

The worst is when windows doesn’t even show that it’s doing anything but is still hogging 100% cpu and most of the ram for some random background service for several minutes after booting.

I never click them anyway. If the meme isn’t wild enough to get pixelated into a shitpost gif then I don’t need to see it. Not once in my lifetime have I ever clicked a Twitter/Facebook/Instagram link and thought that the click was worth it.

Ridicule them.

In Denmark it happened rather quickly and less than 200 years ago. Soo many things happened in the late 1800s after the abandonment of absolute monarchy in 1849, that I’m not going to pretend that I can explain it all in a comment.

So… while Denmark has a long history with vikings and kings and stuff, our constitution is relatively new and written around the same time as Karl Marx and the industrial revolution redefining what work is.

If you ever get around Copenhagen, the workers museum is well worth a visit for an insight into the specific events that lead to the democratic socialist government. It was a long hard process and tightly tied to the history of worker’s unions.

Very briefly told, it was a worldwide class war. The events in Scandinavia were heavily influenced by the “bloody week” in Paris in 1871 and the establishment of the world wide organisation First International.

It culminated in a several months long lock out in 1899, which eventually gave workers the right to organize for collective agreements. This was only made possible with support from workers from all over the world.

One of the most amazing things about it was how they even managed to organize anyone at all in a time where all workers were dirt poor and only the owning class had any freedom and income at all. The founders of the first unions realized that it would be an uphill battle and were brutally honest about it. They told workers “It might take several generations to succeed, but it needs to be done, so that your grand children will have a chance for a better life.”, and yet they managed to organize almost everyone.

It succeeded though and also much faster. One of the three founders of the socialist democratic party lived long enough to see it become the largest political party in the country in 1924 - a position it held until 2001.

Having their first child. You’ll never be ready.

Yes, I have kids. No regrets. It definitely gave me a different perspective on life in ways that I could never had experienced in any other way.

No one is ever fully ready for it. It’s not comparable to anything else, so it’s basically impossible to reach the decision to have children in any logical way. It’s a leap of faith. I thought of it as something that I had to do in order to experience as much of life as I can while I can. It’s been well worth any amount ofmoney or time that I’ve spent on it. I’d do it again if I was ten years younger.

There are no sweat glands under the foreskin.

There are many posts preaching for the choir, but I wouldn’t call it an echo chamber. It’s more like a dead sound chamber where the ideas dies in agreement. It doesn’t bounce off the walls or resonate. It’s already there so no answer is required.

Lemmy would benefit from more users playing the devil’s lawyer, but I think it’s too small for anyone to use their main profile for that, and alt-accounts would quickly get blocked or banned.

Actual users with opposing views wouldn’t be of much help. Politics isn’t very nuanced these days. It’s not red or blue, left or right or whatever. It’s polarized into a new duality: Those that give a shit and those who are proud idiots. Lemmy is on the good side of this and will not benefit from being more accepting of idiots.

Internet commentary is like the readers column in newspapers. It’s only written by people who feel so strongly about something that they have a need to share or even bother writing it. Angry or frustrated people post more often online than people who are happy or at least content with life. The internet will never be a representation of real life. It’ll always be more negative, because negativity fuels the need for a person to express themselves more than positivity. Anger is something you’ll want out, while a blissful experience is something you’ll want to keep without sharing it with the world.

When reading online stuff, it’s necessary to consider this and realize that the content is filtered towards negativity before it is even created. The internet is not real life. It’s mostly only the moaning and shouting of real life.

The plan was to go to the Titanic, which is on the bottom of the sea. Controller malfunction or not, the hull was the issue.

Good question. That takes a little research. You’ll want to talk to a union that is capable of making collective agreements.

There are indeed fake unions out there with no other purpose than to take your money and keep you from organizing into the actual unions.

Contat the umbrella organisation if in doubt.

A small group of people from of a single country does not represent the entire population of the continent.

The sentence "Americans say ‘aloha’ instead of ‘hello’* is just as right or wrong.

It was not Europeans. It was the British. And it was the upper class British. Specifically at the Oxford University. The people in both continental Europe and Britain always called it football.

“Soccer” is technically a slur for lower class football.

Even the British call it football now, but the soccer slur still lives on in America and other colonies.

American cars suck.

Yes, it’s both taught and necessary.

It may seem excessive when you’ve been checking the rear- and side mirrors for a long distance and you know that nobody is behind you… But it’s also in that exact situation that you’ll be surprised to see that some fucker has been cruising in your blind spot for a long time. Always check and don’t cruise in the overtake lane.

Lemmy hugged it to death

Yeah sure.
