After all, it's only intelligence when I do it.

besides some photographs of social events:

right of way!

We obviously live in a matrix/simulated world, and it can't be older than 50 years, because before that, computers didn't exist. Checkmate christians.

I imagine the reason why comments here are more constructive is because Lemmy is perceived to have a high technicality-threshhold (you have to be somewhat familiar with technology to make an account here - even though that's not true). That leads to only people with a high enough motivation to sign up here.

I think it's important that we grow and find new users, not because I seek growth, but because I seek diversity. We need more people, more opinions, and more different perspectives.

Yeah the politics is annoying at this point, it feels like 60% on the front page is politics. I'm glad when the US votes are finally over.

Yeah, I have made the experience that most communities on the german-speaking feddit.de were great, but after that had technical issues and went down for 4 months (!), the content isn't as good anymore and the users are more frustrating.

I think you meant this as a comment to the post, not in response to me?

I guess crime exists due to two reasons:

• poverty exists. as long as poverty exists, people seek a way out.
• organized crime exists. it draws people in.

So, pacifying the country needs a two-sided approach. On the one side, you must show people how to live a good life without being reliant on crime for basic necessities. People must be able to support themselves without falling back on criminal organizations.

On the other hand, probably the bigger issue, is that these crime organizations have a lot of money, and demand for labour-force. that means that they actively recruit new people, and draw people in. organized crime mostly exists because there's too much money being made on the black market by selling/trafficking drugs. So I guess that it would make sense to legalize drugs (at least to a certain extent), because every $1 spent legally when buying drugs is a $1 you take away from the black market, and therefore crime organizations.

without watching the video - google search is falling apart because there's a lot of shit content, a lot of bad articles being written.

and there's a lot of bad articles being written because there's a lot of authors that just want to make money from advertising, without actually caring about the content. in other words, it's advertising's fault that the quality of content is dropping. and ironically, it's mostly google's fault that advertisement on the internet got so big as it is today.

maybe i should learn polish

we live in very special times. take a step back and appreciate how transformative the recent years are.

for a billion years, life existed on earth. in the last 200 years, we invented electricity, electric cars and transistors.
