Language is flexible. Deal with it.

I've seen this exact picture so many times that I actually wonder if it is fake. Not the phenomenon but these pictures specifically.

I don't care tbh. I am writing everything here as if everyone at any time could read it.

I was thinking of doing that if I actually move to Finland.

Having been to Finland before I know that it's not very useful in everyday situations but it's still useful and way easier to learn than finnish. Especially as I speak German.

Warum nicht klassisches Prepaid?

I pronounce it "data" of course.

Do it the German way and just trauma dump. I mean if they didn't care they shouldn't have asked.

In Germany "how are you" is also smalltalk but you are not expected to lie. Just keep it short.

"Wie geht's?"

"Nicht so gut gerade und bei dir?"

Gerade aus Langeweile auf Google Maps die Luftqualität angeschaut. Fast überall in Deutschland und Nordfrankreich gut bis sehr gut. Aber es gibt einen klaren blob um Stralsund.

I needed to scroll way too much to see people mention marketing and advertising. It's a huge deal.

The power of good advertising is not to be underestimated. There is a good statistically proven reason why so much money flows into it. And it's not only traditional advertising but viral and "astroturfed" advertising.

I hope this is a good place for this. A few weeks ago I started a simple experiment: Block every community in the All feed that is about the US election in some way.

I thought this up after a thread about the Biden debate, as someone kindly (not really kindly) informed me that I should curate my own experience here. I thought about it and realized just how much election/politics stuff there is on the front page. It was quite hard blocking communities I like, especially 196 on blahaj.

Now the quality of my feed did go up in some ways but it's very slow. I also realized that I am feeling a lot less rage/anger than before when scrolling lemmy. I didn't even realize how much the constant political stuff from another continent affected me...

What is your opinion on this? Is Lemmy really filled with too much US political rage bait? Should I continue with my zero tolerance policy?

It would also interest me to hear an American perspective. Is there more or less politics here, on other platforms or real life. How does rage/hate affect you when scrolling through Lemmy and does it take a toll?

I really hate the culture of self censorship people are developing. Fuck the corporate clean Internet.

I'm not advocating for being uncivilized but we should name the things we are discussing by their names.
