Don't forget the 2012, possibly the biggest threat to humanity in our lifet .... I can't finish this with a straight face :D

I was thinking long and hard about this to form an opinion, but my answer is no.

The final decission point was: I'm from Slovakia, it's no secret that Russia would love to take us under their sphere of influence. You and your instance is not only supporting this, you're actively propagating this. In fact, I'm pretty sure if Russian soldiers would be at my doorstep, threatening my family, you and your instance would be cheering. And when I would realize, that I actively supported this, that would break me.

If you're about to publish your work for free, I gladly use it as long as it's run by good people like lemmy.world. This way you get no support from me. If I'd pay you, I don't know what part of my support would end up in .ml instance which I see as a propaganda machine against countries like mine. And even if you say that none of my money would end up there, I kind of don't want to support you as a human being. I won't pay your salary so you have energy to do what you do on .ml instance.

If Lemmy as a project dies, so be it. Foss world can always spark successful forks (see OpenElec vs LibreElec) and alternatives like PieFed already exist

I wouldn't say you made a mistake. Lemmy is still a great place and instances like lemmy.world you're on, are run by down to earth people like you and me.

It's just that Lemmy's core code is (primarily) developed by people who ... well, have some opinions. However, that probably shouldn't even matter. Developers' opinions are just that - opinions. They don't put any of their opinions into the code. And that code is then taken by people of lemmy.world to run the instance.

And up until now it wasn't a big issue, it was more like a curiosity "Hah, this great piece of software is developed by those guys. Well I strongly disagree with them and want to have nothing with their instance and their opinions". But now it starts to be an issue when they ask for money. People are naturally reluctant

Pfff I know all about the aptitude, who do you think I am? Someone who doesn't know the aptitude? I use it all the time for a lot of ... stuff the aptitude does

Here we go!!! I was expecting the enshitification of this thing for past couple of years

Now calm down, Ned-dily-diddly-diddly-diddly... they did their best, shoddily-iddly-iddly-diddly... gotta be nice, hostily-iddly-diddly-iddly...Ah hell diddly-ding-dong-crap! Can't you morons do anything right?

Fyi that's Jamestown on the island of Saint Helena

Also if your wife enjoys being fucked, she might be a spiritual gay man. And do you know how we call people who fuck gay men?

Hahaha, saving

I'm jumping into downvote pool but yolo - I kind of like Bill Maher. I don't agree with him on everything, let's say I disagree with like 30% of his points. But rest of it is kind of on point? And that's fine, I don't have to agree with people on everything. Actually that's one of the points I liked from him - to learn to disagree. In today's polarized world that's a surprisingly refreshing idea. On the other hand I fundamentally disagree with him on Covid-19. So yeah. Also I find myself laughing at his jokes quite a lot, he has good writers imo

How can I contribute? Just making a pull request?

to perpetuate backwards gender roles

I never even suggested that. Where did you get that from? All I'm saying is, people in power aren't your friends.

Although is it a good thing that me and my wife work like crazy to keep our family going? Is this really what life is about? I'd love to be stay at home dad, yet I can't

I literally said it's a positive thing, just that motivation of people in power is cynical. Also I didn't mention communism, I meant it in general regardless of regime

Maybe a bad choice of words on my part, maybe I should write "not because it's right, but because it doubles the workforce"

Although whether "double the workforce" is good or bad, I'd keep that for a discussion, see my other comment for more info: https://lemmy.world/comment/16185467

Sorry for late response and I see the comment is now deleted by a mod but whatever (well we're on .ml after all).

What I was trying to point out, was the "cynical" part of it. That people in power often don't do it because they want to empower women or help people, more often than not it's just that it brings more people into their "meat grinder" - regardless of the regime. In case of capitalism it's obvious but it doesn't need to be money necessarily; in the case of Stalin - pardon me if I don't believe that he did it for "supporting women rights and making the world a better place ✌️", he did it for the raw economic power to compete with US during cold war and so his own country wouldn't collapse because of his stupid actions.

Whether doubling the workforce is a good thing - that I'd keep up for a debate. I deliberately didn't want to say anything in that area, I'm just saying that the motivation of people in power is cynical, not saying if result is good or bad.

But if you'd want my personal stance - I do believe that in order to achieve welfare/prosperity, not all the people have to work. And I do believe that there are more important things in life than working. I'd love to be a stay at home dad, but I can't. Even though my country sort of supports it, my pay would cut dramatically and we as a family wouldn't be able to survive.

But honestly thank you for asking. It's very refreshing to meet a person who asks and tries to understand the motivation of the commenter rather than jumping right to the conclusion (as almost every other response here)

Thanks! Cross-posted there

Autumn, I realized all the good things are in autumn - my birthday, september fairs, things calm down after crazy summer, halloween, and providing autumn ends officially at 22nd december - waiting for christmas, the atmosphere, christmas parties in december
