some jumped in.

it's somehow that the nordic countries are socialists because of some basic welfare, but China and Cuba who have even more welfare aren't socialist? even in their shitty understanding of socialism they don't apply logic

"Reddit"

There's your issue.

I also made the mistake of browsing some reddit yesterday and holy shit it took me a few hours to recover from the brainrot

this week had a good ending. lmao

[–] DankZedong@lemmygrad.ml 16 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I will leave on a holiday tonight for the next two weeks. I always feel like I'm whining when I say I needed it but the last few months have just been a bit too busy and I feel kind of burned out. I hope to have new energy after these two weeks. Just some hiking, reading, chilling and exploring the local cuisines will be nice.

Regardless of whether you need it. Taking a prolonged leave will leave you feeling better and more productive. Leave shouldn't be taken right on the precipice of burnout, quite the opposite.

A funny (sad?) observation I made while on holiday in Madeira. In Belgium we hire a lot of Portugese construction workers as they are cheaper than Belgian ones. But, over here in Portugal, they seem to hire Bangladesh or Indian workers for the same reason. Funny how capitalism works, right?

[–] felhfeltetel@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 3 months ago

Hungarian workers go to work in the UK, Germany or Austria, while some Romanian, Ukrainian or Slovaks come here. The remaining 2 of the top 5 are the Philipino and Chinese nationalities.

I'm currently sitting on an Island. I'm staying in a house that has a deck with a view on the Atlantic Ocean. I'm surrounded by green and by some sort of farms. One of the locals gave me a basket full of bananas and figs from one of the farms. It will be perfect weather all week.

In situations like this I wonder why I bother living in an expensive country with constant rain and miserable people. I'm aware things won't be perfect in a place like this either but I'm willing to bet I'd be a bit happier.

As a British person I can relate.

Moments like this are bittersweet because you kinda realise how things that make life shitty are unnecessarily shoved upon you an inefficient and oppressive socioeconomic system for the benefit for a tiny minority.

It was ok. Me and my family visited a ww1 museum near Verdun, as well as the Verdun Ostuary, among other places

I have my mechanical keyboard tied to my tablet.

I'm better able to actually communicate again.

Heads up everyone. Discord just made markdown better. But please watch out for scams!

I looked at r/olympics and just now whenever I saw something about Israel participating, pro-Palestinian comments were downvoted or removed and pro-Israeli comments upvoted. Goddamnit.

[–] capitaltankie12@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 3 months ago

it's a liberal server dominated by westerners and those from the third world who fetishise western ways and western thought, like most of these big subreddits, it's no surprise honestly

[–] ahriboy@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 3 months ago (4 children)

Neverness to Everness! A blend of GTA and GI.
