r/politics problem isn’t that it’s infested with maga nonsense….idk what you’re even talking about.

R/politics problem is that it’s a doomer cesspool that doesn’t actually like talking about politics, but likes to complain and talk about Trump all the time.

I’m a borderline socialist, so pretty left leaning, and that subreddit is way too toxic for me. I’m not interested in that type of discourse.

It’s 100% going to be.

Lemmy isn’t “special”. I’ve already seen hot takes and other things to get people riled up on Lemmy.

You guys have a warped perspective. Besides major infrastructure, most of the issues the feds aren’t even present in. It’s almost entirely local government, and they are a lot easier to change and influence.

This is one of the main reasons I don’t really like the channel.

I like the content, I like the ideas presented. That is why I watch it.

I kinda don’t like the guy though.

He also has major grass is greener syndrome in that he has distilled his entire life seemingly to the specific issues he talks about in the video and nothing else.

Like the Netherlands is his main place right? Well they are pretty damn racist over there. Even if it isn’t in your face, it’s always subtle. And to other white people. Romanians and Bulgarians get discriminated against all the time.

Example: My cousin gf (Romanian) applied for housing as as she now has an internship. Over email and the phone she was told yea there are many units available.

First time she goes to talk to them in person, all of a sudden nothing is available. Listings still show housing availability lol.

Her English is pretty good, but she has a clear accent.

So she makes my cousins (her bf) go in person. Except he doesn’t tell them he’s with her. He has better English, more neutral accent. There are units available of course.

Lol.

I’m glad he refers people to other resources to check out, but…..I just don’t like his attitude lol.

100%. A great emotional experience.

Still don't. This isn't a VISA.

I literally saw a guy earlier today in that one large memes thread trying to convince people that Eastern European countries yearn for the USSR days.

Only tankies try to do that lol.

This is a complete reach, comon now.

Blizzard bringing games to steam is news. Lots of people care that games are on steam. No surprises here.

One is about the merger which is current news.

One is about declining overwatch 2 players.

And then one about overwatch 2.

Yea some “conspiracy”.

Straight rage bait.

A mix of limited menu during the week, and food prepping are the biggest things.

If I know the upcoming week will be busy, I’ll batch cook on Sunday and just reheat the rest of the week.

Otherwise, learning simple recipes I can whip up quick. Practice makes perfect after all, and the more I cook, the faster I get.

Honestly, this might be a hot take but when it comes to food in the modern western world, people are really privileged lol. Why is the expectation that you eat something different every day for every meal?

Well I can kinda see where they are coming from. How do you know it’s gonna stick around if it can’t make money? It isn’t even about making a profit either, but covering costs.

There are costs associated with hosting all this stuff. Right now donations are how instances keep the lights on (most of the time).

What happens when there is more and more users joining?

Idk, find it hard to believe sexually explicit content is what is gonna make or break it. The author seems to be talking about different degrees of promiscuity in the same article, so I am having a hard time following exactly.

In one paragraph, author is talking about how its boring cause it won't allow sexually explicit material. But goes on to talk about how people are getting written up for harmless stuff like saying "boobs", which to me is a WAY different problem lol.
