I see, okay. Took it a bit too serious then. ;)

I don't hate America. America is a continent. It would be really silly to hate an entire continent.

The last line has so many words I do not know.

However, since you distinguish sexual interests from romantic ones in some cases, I wonder where for example "panromantic" or "biromantic" would be on your tier list. Similarly homosexuality is not distniguished from homoromanticism etc..

Nevermind though, in case it wasn't your intention to create a more or less "complete" picture.

You can show them this clip from a movie to make them understand: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qti4VT6T0ts

Yupp. In Germany alone within 26 years a decline of about 75 % has been observed. (Lazy Wikipedia link: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decline_in_insect_populations ).

This is really scary.

Oh vey, someone got triggered hard. ;)

I'm on Lemmy and religious people, vehicle owners, and anyone who didn't use Linux is bad on your eyes or whatever

Even though there are a lot of communities which share such views, I wouldn't be so bold as to shove all users of Lemmy into the same drawer.

But if my free practice of my faith [...] offends you

No. It doesn't. I don't know you. You could be an alright person for all I know. Although your reaction gives me the impression the other is the case. I didn't address you specifically, did I? I made a general statement about religion.

Furthemore, even though not necessarily offended, I am usually concerned about religious people.
If you live it for yourself and keep it to yourself, I can tolerate it. But if you drag others into it or proselytising dangerous fairy tales, you will find me freely practising criticisim of that.

you can go right ahead and fuck off because I'm allowed to be as offensive towards you as I want so long as I don't try to control your life

What a marvellous religion it must be, which teaches such warm-hearted values. /s

This bullshit is why you assholes never achieve shit. If someone doesn't perfectly fit your ideals, you dismiss them

Who doesn't achieve anything here? Who are you talking about? You don't really know much about me or other users on this platform.

Also, bold generalisation again. I for example, don't dismiss someone for not perfectly fitting my ideals. And I would be surprised if the majority of users here would differ from handling it similarly.

you should see that they're your ally on everything that actually matters

To me, personally, a world free of (organized) religion actually matters a lot.

If you decide that everyone is your enemy

Good thing, that I don't then. ;)

Indeed, they do. 🦄🌈

Also think about the mass dying of virtually all insects and pollinators. Not just bees.

"top leader of the free world"

Yeah. We are currently hating on foreigners real hard again and want to introduce storage of IP connections for three months for everyone without reason. We are so free, that you can't even change your name without psychological assessment. Even then it's up to the arbitrariness of the clerk. And even then you are tightly restricted in how you can change it. We enjoy such freedom, that you have to wait 6 months or longer for specialist medical care (if you are not dying right now). But we are free to pay using private insurance, which instantly levels us up to superior class citizens. Much less of a hassle then, if you can afford it. We are so free that you can easily sacrifice most of your money just to get a somewhat minimal amount of living space for rent. Well, to be fair, this depends on your income class.
This is especially free, if you have difficulties climbing up the income class, because you can't get the medical attention you need to fix some stuff. Then you are free to revel in your freedom while not getting forward in your free life.
And don't mind those pesky little migrants again, who are free to stay dumb, because we allow ourselves the freedom to not integrate and support them properly.
You see, freedom in Germany is often just a question of personal wealth. If you've got enough money, you've got a lot more freedom.
Our freedom is also reflected in the world press freedom index which has worsened in the past years from "good" to "satisfactory". When we vote for a political party that represents our opinions and interests best, there is a chance that this vote will be canceled out in the final election results, if that party doesn't get at least 5% of overall votes. Such votes go directly to waste. Isn't that great freedom of political choice?
Let's talk about freedom of movement: If you're not a superior class citizen (somewhat wealthy) good luck getting around without a car. Especially in rural areas. Pack a good book and plenty of water. Oh, and I hope you don't mind close personal contact to various strangers on a daily basis, because our public transport infrastructure takes it's time and is overloaded with freedom.
Also our politicians are very free in what they can do and how they can treat us. One guy, a chancellor nonetheless, used his freedom of thought to forget everything about an extremely severe financial scandal he was involved in (Cum-Ex, Scholz), another one enjoys his freedom after generously supporting a mask company using many many tax euros (during the Covid pandemic) based on a personal recommendation from party members (Maskenaffäre, Spahn), and then, politicians are also free to use the police as their personal intimidation tool when they have hurty hurt feelings after being called a dick (Andi ist 1 Pimmel). But I mean, that all makes sense. If we think of further cases like Nestlé-Klöckner, or Amthor-stocks, those people just want to ensure and expand their freedom.

Ah... I could go on and on about it and tell you about the many facets of freedom we enjoy in Germany. But that's enough for now. I need to get going to enjoy my freedom.

Okay, to be even more fair, compared to the United States of Idiots, Germany is pretty cool. Also compared to a lot of other countries probably. But saying it is a "top leader of the free world" makes me scoff.

Separation of religion from life is even better.

Barbaric idiots.

Death penalties don't help to fight crime, as has been proven over and over again.

Aaaand another country made it onto the list of countries I'll avoid visiting.

Scientific consensus. But it's not "LLMs". AI covers multitudes of methods, algorithms, models. LLMs fall into sequence modeling / prediction, usually based on transformers nowadays, which is a method from machine learning, which itself is a big branch inside of the term "AI".

You can also misuse it and it sucks (NSFW).

What about another Duke Nukem?

Why finish a game that could tank, when you could promote hopes and dreams forever?

Sounds a lot like organized crime religion.

Am I in the wrong here? Should I just keep quiet and not say anything so that I don't "get in trouble"?

No. Openly communicating (constructive) criticism is essential for improvement. As is protesting if matters are severe.

My mom told me to "just focus on improving your own life and stop worrying about things like you can't control like politics" (as in, both the politics of my former country and the politics of my current country)

You can do both. A little personal life improvement here and a little societal improvement there.

Make no mistake, you're probably just a drop of water in an ocean. But: speaking about what matters to you, going to vote (if possible), engaging in shaping the society, just mere talking to others about stuff can already change so much. It can change minds or at least give incentives to think about. More importantly, it can connect you to other drops in the ocean, until you form a cup of water. Maybe a barrel next. And who knows, maybe one day enough to roll over the land like tsunami. Preferrably not deadly though. ;)

Keep fighting. Keep engaging. If we keep quiet and do nothing, we will let rule those, who know how to use this passivity to their advantage.

Only dead fish go with the flow.

What do you mean "Dr. Who trash production design"? I really can't understand why you would say "Dr Who trash production design"! /s

Suddenly a finger cramped on the shift key.
