Okay this is a very interesting article and it’s also freaking me out a bit

Hey you rock

I love them, they also put a bunch of free concerts up online (sorry, youtube link: https://www.youtube.com/@arteconcert)

That smile is going to be wiped right off your face when China actually finds a giant neutrino

This would be a really great move. Other world powers are expanding their zones of influence and we need an EU that’s willing to compete with that.

What if moderate drinking keeps my stress levels lower, is it healthier then?

Yep the fact that this goes automatically to hating on Apple instead of the rich tells you all you need to know

Another reason billionaires fucking suck. They’ll always end up looking out for each other

This is really fucking dark for multiple reasons

There isn’t really a good rental company but Hertz towers above the rest as the worst. I’ve gone to pick up a car I reserved at noon on a Wednesday and there was just nobody there to give me the key and no one to answer a phone.

Just to reiterate - don’t use Google

Buying your competitors is a pretty monopolistic practice

Winning

Why that one though? Just because it’s more ‘official’ as the devs instance?

Cool cool

Absolutely agreed. I’d love to say that I left Facebook and then Twitter for heroic reasons but both of them pushed me out when there was no longer a way to just get the reverse chronological. Facebook when the algos took over and then Twitter when they started forcing people to pay for Tweetdeck.

Yeah an algorithm is a series of mathematic instructions so from my armchair I’d say sort by date is not an algorithm. But to complicate things further there seems to be a sticking point with some that social media uses heuristics and not algorithms. I don’t really understand the difference nor do I really care as this is all too much about semantics - /u/grue’s final point is still spot on IMO. Why mess with letting a billionaire toy with the minds of your citizens? Let the USA have twitter and all that chaos to themselves.

I understand why you’d think that because we’re all inundated with American culture no matter where we are in the western world. But that’s just not true. There are plenty of interesting groups who celebrate cultural identities not based on the country they live in.

A web search uncovered German-Brazilians and Italian-Argentines for me, I’m sure there are many many more.

No not hateful, you’re just giving off a weird vibe about it. But you’re half way there actually, transform that energy into curiosity.

The two you picked especially have a real fascinating history and I’d encourage you to check it out because both of those groups had a tough time in their early immigration days. They aren’t fetishising at all - those communities had to stick together because they weren’t exactly welcome, and that mentality became ingrained. Over time, it was less necessary for survival so it transitioned into more of a cultural tradition.
