wow I’ve never heard of a language like that in Algeria. I always assumed you all spoke a dialect of Arabic and some French.

Darja?? I’m gonna be reading about this for the next hour. merci!

yeah it’s like OP never played Milles Bornes wtf

how do you think OP deals with Creve!

揮發油 if same as Korea. qiyou sounds like air oil though. 유 油 is oil, qi I don’t have handy to write it but it’s a very simple character.

Um excuse me but Koreans call it 휘발유 which means 揮發油 which means Volatile Oil.

who the fuck called that la gasolina?

socially constructed things are very real. I don’t know who the fuck let that fart out in our society, to make people think that when they hear “it’s a social construct” they hear “it’s not real!” pretty frustrating

what it means is that it’s an arbitrary thing based on mostly nothing except history and all it would take to change it is for us to act differently towards it.

but the history behind it is very real, so we can’t just eliminate race by pretending it isn’t real. we have to acknowledge the impacts, respect the differences, and work towards making the idea of race obsolete. that’ll probably take a few thousand years lol

oh lol they think the law doesn’t apply to lemmy, cute

lol right. I wonder what race OP imagines

… that is not how race works.

we already ARE the same race. we constructed differences to divide us, elevate ourselves and put down outsiders without having to accomplish anything.

Imagine a world where everyone taller than 6 feet is considered a different social class. that’s race.

I just wanna know if they think CEOs are really really cool or something. like what’s the bannable opinion?

pro landlord?

so… you envision one last boomer dying out and suddenly the sun rises? like who do you think is behind the mass fucking of the public? no one born after 1970?

I’m just bitter because they dont give an option to cancel policy online, they force you to dial a robot and sit on hold if you wanna attempt to cancel with them. so i said fuck that and just removed payment method and let it lapse. but instead they just renewed my policy anyway without asking me, and when there was no payment option they just sent me to fuckin collections! for services never rendered!

you get paid to fuck people, what’s not to like

it’s 짤방 to protect from censorship. blame algo

well said! I should check out Enshrouded. I just bought Factorio after finally learning it never goes on sale, lol. and then immediately got lost in two other gangs, now doing a fourth Stardew Valley playthru

also fyi there’s no hyperfocus type of ADHD; that’s just a broad effect of executive dysfunction

is Evan on Lemmy? he seems like a lemmy kinda dude

yeah that was my first thought, for me it’s at least 35% “isn’t it my turn”

and another big chunk is, “before you continue, there’s some important information i must share that may alter the course of your remaining speech, so i will cut you off as a favor”

why would there be a “final way”?

reminds me of Korean internet, where you need to go through rigorous and complex verification using your national ID to even create an account on a shitty website. and then you need to login daily and post consistently to even unlock basic features. and the points accrue slower than karma; people’s reactions don’t matter nearly as much as just logging in daily and waiting a long time.

Korean website design is by far, hands down, the worst design we’ve ever come up with in the internet. but hey they got fast speeds!

first off, we need to drop this false dichotomy between arbitrary words like patriotism and nationalism. it’s not as simple as “good vs bad” or “moderate vs excess”. you’re talking about two completely different points of pride.

nationalism is pride in a shared identity between people; patriotism is pride in the state of a country. and you ask for my opinion: both are bullshit.

I like how someone referenced schopenhauer. I prefer Sartre. In “antisemite and jew” he wrote about how the bigot, by putting down another group, instantly promotes himself into a group of the chosen ones, the good guys – all without doing anything.

that’s what pride in a group identity often does. elevates yourself based on the accomplishments of others. it’s a substitute for character.

HOWEVER we cannot dismiss all collective pride this way. when a group we actually belong to and contribute to actually does something good, why not be proud of it? the trouble is, the more people you involve in this collection, the less any single individual needs to actually DO to contribute.

that’s why I honestly believe nationalism is less toxic than patriotism: because there can be many smaller groups (nationalism) within a country (patriotism).

the anarchist perspective is that a nation is a PEOPLE and the state is a parasite. patriotism is pride in the state, not the people. why be proud of tapeworms?

arbitrary bullshit, we’re just picking which words to like and dislike now. neither of those words mean what that comic says
