Hi!
My previous/alt account is yetAnotherUser@feddit.de which will be abandoned soon.
And an archive would be doing exactly that: Distributing copyrighted materials.
Moving to Europe is not necessarily a great idea depending on the country they choose. US copyright law is comparatively lenient to some European countries, who can be said to be (much more) controlled by publishers when it comes to copyright.
Depebding on the country, Europe has significantly worse copyright law than the US, to the extent that archiving a web page is illegal.
Fun fact:
In Germany you have to pay a special tax for anything that could be used to violate copyright. It ranges from 0.10€ for USB sticks to 90€ for faster printers to 14,000,000€ for opening up a public library - all going to a bunch of publisher organizations.
I wish it polled for each possible position:
Don’t worry, the youth will only become further right-wing.
Here’s the result of a local German state election from September. It displays the results for people aged 18-24, divided into male (light) and female (dark). AfD is openly fascist. No other age group voted for them as much. Getting 46% in a system with proportional representation is basically unheard of by the way.
I very much suspect this trend will continue.
Why then do countries with existing left parties and proportional representation elect further and further right-wing parties in Europe?
It’s simple: They promise easy solutions for complicated problems. Banning immigration will fix all crime and the economy, opposing LGBTQ+ rights will ensure a return of the better olden days, climate change is nothing to be worried about etc etc
And even people depending on social support will gladly shoot themselves in their feet if it means someone else will have it worse.
He literally only needs the Supreme Court and Congress
Pass a blatantly unconstitutional bill and make the SC call it constitutional. That’s all that is required.
Ne, die sPD, die haben ja dieselbe Farbe wie die Republikaner
Ratet mal welche Partei in der nächsten Bundestagswahl besonders viel Unterstützung aus dem Ausland erhalten wird…
You’re right in some regard though I still believe taking note of trends is important, don’t you? If most pre-record civilizations we find have behaved and lived in a certain way it could tell us something notable about our past.
That’s what I thought too, but wouldn’t it be mentioned somewhere in the article? Like a line saying:
“The city government plans to demolish the bridge due to risk of collapse.”
But why though?
Blind serbian nationalism would be my guess but there seems to be more. Why now and why dismantle a working bridge without replacement?
Hey baby… wanna watch Jellyfin and dismantle the patriarchy?
But that would be worse?
The solution to women being treated unfairly is not to start treating men unfairly too. It’s to treat women fairly.
Couldn’t you tell? It’s clearly a furry cat.
I disagree, it was a common German first name until he ruined it.
Though you should keep insulting him, the methhead “war strategist” deserves it.
Dead Pixels aren’t always covered by warranty by the way.
This is why you should only purchase expensive shit online if you live in a country with a mandatory 14 day no-questions-asked return window for online purchases.
Why would you use Spanish though? You can further denigrate them by using English and also banning the use of Spanish by prisoners. You wouldn’t want them to be comfortable, would you?
Another sign you could use is:
To Each His Own
which was on the Buchenwald concentration camp.
I don’t know, I feel like anon’s advice is misguided at the very least.
It assumes that OOP is more or less choosing to be this way, instead of struggling with issues outside their control, be it self-image issues, anxiety, depression, money or a myriad of other things. Depending on the particukar combination and severity, anon’s situation may not change for a very long time, including forever.
I believe proper advice would focus on making them accept their situation. It’s OK to have no friends or partner(s). They are not a necessity in order to live a meaningful life. Perhaps it won’t be the most meaningful life possible but it is certainly possible to find meaning while feeling lonely. Though finding a job is somewhat important, especially if they live in countries without social welfare, they should focus on that for a bit.
I don’t have any positive stories to share on how I overcame the issues anon is facing - considering I’m in my early 20s and have nearly all the same one’s. But acceptance has helped me cope with my situation in a not unhealthy way and reduced some of the pain of loneliness and self-doubt.
These suggestion all sound quite bland and corporate though. GIMP isn’t a great name but better than all of those in my opinion.
A better change should be more like Minetest becoming Luanti. Here is what ChatGPT came up with instead:
These are horrible compared to Luanti.
