In my country whatsapp messenger can and will be seen by the government if there is a request. Have heard it many times. I don’t think any messenger or anything you write is actually secure or actually private. We just came to terms with that.

I use them all, but whatsapp prevails all, because Whatsapp was there first.

What’s more important is that we know whatsapp is not the only device, and can be easily replaced.

Capitalism, its bubbles and inflations.

I hope that too, but I’m less optimistic. We live in a capitalistic world.

I cannot trust someone on certain issues if this person is biased against some of these issues. That is the world today. I’m not against veganism btw, I don’t care what people eat, but I truly do not believe in certain number presented even though I do believe that animals are treated very harshly in this capitalistic world because of profits.

kurzgesagt is also political. The video about vegan food threw me off.

It’s ok, downvote me, I’m not against veganism btw, I don’t care what people eat, but I truly do not believe in certain number presented even though I do believe that animals are treated very harshly in this capitalistic world because of profits.

Counter-strike was in the 2000s though right? Or am I gone mad?

There are many reasons for inflation, but the biggest in Capitalistic economy is the interest and that there is no Gold the money is tied to. Basically, they can print out as many dollars as they want. There is no Gold standard.

Sincere question, how do I use the block feature, I mean, can we filter out certain words? I only know of blocking of users.

Every other post is about that site. It’s like getting a new girlfriend but constantly talking about your ex.

Where is the question? If you were sincere, which I don’t think you are, you could have worded it much better. For example: “Is it better if we do not talk about that site…?”

I am having pretty big dreams. I know it because sometimes I don’t get out of the effect after I wake up. But I forgot after 5 minutes or so. Today I woke up, and I remembered initially. It was some huge legendary tale or something, or it felt like it. But I woke up, and knew I would forgot. Maybe I should write it down so I won’t forget it.

let people enjoy their game collection or whatever holy shit

Where tf did I say people shouldn’t enjoy their life, why are you putting words in my mouth. I only said that people rather should do what they think it purposeful instead of doing things that feels purposeless. I think that people can enjoy their life for the better, if they do things that are more purposeful instead. If collecting things makes them enjoy it, let them.

Either be against that, instead of getting a straw-man argument.

Life is purposeless!

Disagree with that statement, but I don’t want to get into that, as that is not the subject.

. Yes, emulation is a thing but doesn’t quite beat the experience on the original hardware IMO

Depends on which hardware. I have had more fun with emulators than I had when I was a child with a real NES, because I could play more games with an emulator, and was easy af.

There doesn’t need to be a real reason, sometimes we do things just because we feel like doing them.

This all sounds like good, but it isn’t.

What if we need to feel a purpose to do things? I am not a hoarder, just because of this reason. I only play or buy games that me or my children would play. Because hoarding, for the sake of hoarding doesn’t make sense to me.

You say that we don’t need to have an excuse to do things you do, and I disagree with that, because to feel good about my actions, I need to make sense of my actions. Otherwise it all feels purposeless.

The detoriation of the subreddits. Lots of subreddits, especially now, are not good moderated so very low effort posts, lots of reposts and toxic comments being rampant.

You are contradicting yourself.

I disagree. Memes are memes. No need to think further or get offended.

Think like this: Not everybody is 7/24h on this site, so for them it’s new and funny.

yup. Good moderation makes or breaks the community.

I hate many countries, USA included. But not the people. Heck I even hate my own country.

The thing is, the people don’t run those countries.

But, also I do need to mention that the laws that are being made do affect the society and their ideas.

If someone wants to join facebook, just go to that webpage, and if you want lemmy, then come here. I don’t get why we have to have a centralized social media platform for all the internet…
