Hmm, interesting. Where are you from?

If you are still somewhat young, its better to use a pseudonym. I'm not sure how "spicy" we are talking, but you might not be as much of an "extremist" when you grow up, so it's better to not have these ideas permanently linked to your name. It might even affect job prospects, no matter whether you change your ideology or not.

I can't manage to make Kate look half descent on Mint (Cinnamon). It does look great on Plasma

I am aware of this one, but it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I think I'll start using Kate, and contribute whatever features I'm missing if I can.

Exactly. I'm a mod in a few subreddits, the biggest of which is /r/Showerthoughts. People don't notice our existence unless we interact with them directly, and you rarely interact with users unless to ban them or to remove their content. So it is expected to be hated.

He is not denying that they are building settlemens. He just doesn't consider it occupation. Anything for more donors, I suppose.

I'm neither American, European, Russian, nor Chinese, and have no clear vested interest in any if them. Seeing how Americans view China as the "big evil" from the outside is just mind-boggling. Most of the bad stuff you think China did, they didn't. Some of the terrible stuff they did, the US did as well. They do have a bad side that the US doesn't have, but the US does some things worse than China.

Now its easy for the naive to just reply "whataboutism" to my comment and move on. But what I'm trying to say is that the world isn't black and white. The US isn't the "good guys", no one is. Take a look at some communities on Lemmygrad. You might change some of your views.

It is common in the middle east, with some leeway. Like if someone is sitting diagonal to you such that your foot isn't directly facing them, it's okay. Unless its a professional meeting, then having your foot up is just disrespectful, but I imagine that goes for most countries.

Alright, so you don’t acknowledge the problem, still fits the definition.

I'd hate for our discussion to be about semantics, but I'm saying that we don't believe in the problem. If I'd say "Hey, regarding the vampire situation, you have your head in the sand, because you won't acknowledge the problem", it wouldn't be an accurate statement, or correct usage of the phrase.

unwilling to recognize or acknowledge a problem or situation

I'm not saying that we are unwilling to recognize a problem, the problem itself is greatly exaggerated, or even non-existent.

Yeah I agree. I'm mostly talking about what you'll find on Twitter and big subreddits.

And because things are so chaotic, scammers are going to have a field day with this one.

I'm almost the same as OP, but I wouldn't call it "head in the sand". For the past few years, the media has been exaggerating everything and creating mass hysteria. If you follow the news closely, you'll think the world is about to end: Wars, economical depressions, climate changes, new pandemics, etc..

Stop following the news, and you won't notice a thing. Probably the price increases, but other than that, your life is the same.

Counting Android is just lying. ChromeOS and WSL are a stretch, but you can make an argument for them.

It's been a while since I used Jerboa. Will give it a try. Thanks to all contributers.

When you reach the point of dehumanizing an entire population, you should stop and think about the amount of shit the media has filled your head with.

Check the post date.

I posted this 2 years ago.

Yeah I posted this 2 years ago. The way "Active" sorting works in Lemmy, is you see the posts with recent comments. Someone commented on this, pushing it back to the front page.

I'm on Android. Maybe this is default browser behavior on Android that doesn't exist on iOS.
