I kid you not but only a few days ago someone here on lemmy argued that you can’t take anything he says at face value… Because you know… He lies. Especially if he only said it once.
Yes it was supposed to be a pro-Trump argument because Trump said he’d want for Israel to finish the job (in Gaza) and that guy argued, he’ll vote for Trump because Biden is complicit in genocide.
In Germany we’ve something we call “wehrhafte Demokratie” which basically means a democracy capable of defending itself. There are measures in place (in theory) that prevent parties that aim to destroy the democracy from getting into power by winning elections.
Someone who openly admits his goal is to end democracy shouldn’t be able to run for president. It’s what happened in Germany back in 1933. The NSDAP won the general election and took over the government via democratic means and within weeks destroyed the democracy. Never again (hopefully)
Did you though? He’s running again with a good chance to become president, again.
I can only speak for myself but I am sick and tired of the fate of the world hanging on whatever mentally deranged and unhinged extremist the US might elect every few years. Aren’t you supposed to be the oldest democracy in the world? I expect as much from countries like Russia or China but the US should do better.
The world needs the US to do better.
Yet you (America) still vote this guy in. Somethings rotten and wrong over there and you guys better figure it out.
A download manager would be nice…
There is no “non-espresso” coffee in Italy. You’re basically describing how the Americano came to be.
Which is funny considering the main figure of the Reign of Terror himself ended up losing his head in 1794.
Lack of education. I am not French but learned about this in school. History is important so we don’t repeat mistakes from the past.
Some may think whatever happened some 250 years ago in France is irrelevant. I’ll use this quote from the Wikipedia article to illustrate (keep in mind the estimated number of victims is even higher) :
“During the Reign of Terror, at least 300,000 suspects were arrested; 17,000 were officially executed, and perhaps 10,000 died in prison or without trial.”
That’s a little over 1% of the population (about 28 million) arrested and 0,06% executed. In the US today this would equal to 3.320.000 arrested and 199.200 executed.
And what worries me even more is there are people who look at this and think it’s fine.
The most popular show is also the one most pirated…
Amazing stuff
In Germany “Mein Kampf” in its unedited, uncommented form is banned and maybe that’s not a bad idea. Prevents dimwits from reading it unfiltered and … become president with a twisted world view heavily influenced and inspired by one of the worst dictators and murderers in humans history.
I am having the same feeling towards the Mac I have to use at work. That stupid piece of shit is just a usability nightmare. I’ve no idea why people insist on Apple products being simpler or more efficient to use. It’s just not true.
Pretty sure islamic terrorist believe they’ve got a holy duty to murder innocent people.
So… They’re off the hook too I guess.
But he said they get paid more. That makes it ok for some reason.
My point was it’s a myth that MacOS is simple or efficient. Basic stuff is either overly complicated or straight up impossible.
I know but I am having issues with Y because of Y. I wouldn’t have those issues with X.
I was complaining about MacOS and you brought up Linux for some reason. I am aware I can do anything on Linux I can on Windows. I’ve used it briefly from time to time and it has a very windows-like work flow for basic stuff. MacOS doesn’t.
Linux isn’t MacOS.
I’ve been using windows PCs for 25 years and struggle with the damn Mac at work. The usability of the thing is just utter garbage. Nothing is better but everything is different just… because. I’ve wasted so much time learning the fucking thing and still nothing just works.
Want to take a screenshot? Press 3 keys. You better remember them because it’s the most random fuckery imaginable. You like the cut & paste shortcuts of windows? We’ve something similar except it doesn’t work everywhere for some reason. This shit goes on and on.
I don’t know why Apple hates a proper Taskbar. I miss it everytime I struggle to find one of my open applications. Which is always.
1993 is 30 years ago tho
