And my initial comment was a joke too, till everyone got emotionally attached and I had to start defending my dignity

I said “especially IF it doesn’t affect you”.

IF

Pretty important in programming too

Let me put it like this. Our gas price is around $8 per gallon. Our average wages are almost 3x lower. Government feels like a circus, our prime minister even recently stepped down. There’s lingering threat of an invasion.

Life’s good. Sure, I can’t travel the world or buy expensive cars, but that’s normal. Not too long ago majority could not afford more than a bed and few accessories, including in US. Can you imagine the world where everyone could fulfill their presumably capitalist dreams of being rich? What would be the consequences of mass consumerism and manufacturing?

Feels like you have lived in the golden age for so long you forgot how it’s like to be normal. Enjoy what you have and stop stressing over shit you can’t change.

The fuck are you talking about? Do the things legal way digitally? Like, paying for news? Do you not understand what “digital detox” means? No, it has nothing to do with your life responsibilities.

It’s about constantly consuming negative content, bad news, watching death, etc… eventually it starts consuming you.

Imagine laughing at a meme of beating up someone for singing happy and then getting hostile after someone tells you that you might positively benefit from change in environment.

Feels like I went from 4chan to reddit and somehow back to 4chan. Everyone is so getting used to shitty humans we are becoming one.

I meant that about people who are constantly grumpy and angry, people whose entire online activity is expressing hate and anger. I meant half of lemmy. I’ve noticed this platform is quite depressing in comparison to others. You could say “more politically active”, but your hate means nothing when it’s echoed in a bubble and eventually it becomes tiresome to others.

This meme is literally threatening to beat someone up for being happy. Jokingly of course, but still. Wake up, lemminos.

Do I get to stress because my TV is selling summaries of my living room conversations to the GOP?

Why did you buy a trojan horse in the first place?

Do I get to stress because climate change has moved tornado alley into my county at the same time we’re destroying our ability to predict the weather?

I mean…no? Just be ready for it. Make sure your basement is ok, you got food and water reserves. Imagine stressing all your life about possible tornato hitting your location. Probably would live by 20 years less. I’m living under an threat of invasion by a much larger power, and even I don’t stress about that. Got bags ready and set to jump ship if something happens.

(I know you’re joking, but) You’re not going to be doing any solving whatsoever related to things you stress about besides fixing relationships with friends and family after being a grumpy old ass brainraped by fox news.

Nope. Much of the world is doing worse than US. Trump regime is temporary and US will not collapse. Shit will pass. “As long as men die, liberty will prevail”

Y’all need some digital detox. Especially if you’re the type of person who ruins his own mood and causes stress about things that will never, ever affect you and are going on at the opposite side of the world.

EDIT: Lemmy, please get your shit together. Digital detox means changing what you do online. Quitting social media, no longer reading news that are mostly just negative, etc. and not your daily responsibilities, higher gas bills or your kid doing something bad - that’s not digital. Completely different things.

My point was that modern humans relatively consume so much negative shit daily that it starts to consume us. Objectively we are living in one of the best times in human history, yet are borderline the unhappiest. Science has also repeatedly proven the positive benefits of digital detox (especially no longer using social media like Facebook)

EDIT2: you people are weak. Now downvote me harder, daddy

It’s a meme. I don’t think there’s canon story to the frog, both good and bad can use it for whatever purpose

The 16gb version beats 9060xt in benchmarks. I looked for cards that appear to have ± same FPS.

Just did a quick check between rtx 5060ti and 9060xt, which seem to be performing quite similarly.

In my country, 5060ti goes for 420eur, while 9060xt goes for around 440eur. Quite on par actually.

Aren’t AMD cards more expensive per FPS? At least they were some months ago when I was figuring out which card to buy

Your claim that a country has the right to commit genocide

Where the fuck did I even say that

Honestly, take a chill pill, you’re clearly not meant for nasty geopolitical discussions that are obviously uncomfortable but a reality.

That said, your arguments to justify trade and friendly relations with a genocidal nation are not convincing.

I think you need to prove how Israel threatens EU for EU to tell other countries what they can’t do, not the other way around. While that doesn’t happen - countries are free to do what they want, they are not puppet states.

This is your comment;

By not colluding. By following international law. By not gifting lucrative trade deals and contract to genocidal thugs. By not granting special observer status within the EU to a mass-murdering nation. By not trading with settler-colonial ethnostates. By not wishing “happy international friendship day” to Israel on official EU social media accounts. By doing what semi-decent countries, such as South Africa do when there is a bloodbath.

So let’s go over it.

The human reaction to such atrocities - the holocaust of our time - is not: “how do I get in on this”.

EU has not tried to join the conflict or profit from it. We have, however, sent assist.

By not colluding (in genocide)

They would need to show EU and member states knowingly assisted particular unlawful acts. Merely maintaining diplomatic relations, trade, or research cooperation does not legally equal collusion.

By following international law.

Same as before. EU is not world police.

By not gifting lucrative trade deals and contract to genocidal thugs.

Are you saying people of Israel does not deserve equal treatment to others because of what their government did? The deals are not done with Benyamin. They’re literally paying for the programmes they participate it. That rhetoric comes awfully close to genocide supporters.

By not trading with settler-colonial ethnostates

EU countries can do that. No one bars them from doing so. However, that is not the function of EU. Funnily enough, international law does not contain a general prohibition on trading with countries somebody classifies as “settler-colonial ethnostates.”

By not wishing “happy international friendship day” to Israel on official EU social media accounts.

Are you talking about random tweet congratulating Israel on 75th year of independence, a country full of innocent people, not Netanyahu, IDF or military? Interesting. Did you know China and Russia, who are borderline their enemies, did it too? By the same logic, should we become hostile towards every American just because of what Trump does? Same for China, Russia, Thailand, much of Africa, etc… If you say no, then you’re a hypocrite. If you say yes, you’re a dangerous person to society and stability of the world. We still maintain semi-normal relations with Russians themselves despite what is happening you know… one of my best friends is Russian.

By doing what semi-decent countries, such as South Africa

You do realize most of the times countries defend someone, is not because they care about the thing they’re defending, but because of other ulterior motives? No one even cared about the Jews in WW2 till they invaded big players and everyone needed to mobilize the population into fighting against them, and Jews was a good event to pick for propaganda (not that it didn’t happen, but it’s simply not why countries went against Germany)

Pointless complaints? Your complaints are illogical in the first place. Israel has not threatened EU markets or safety, there is no legal basis for the EU upper body to tell other countries they cannot trade with Israel. You’re angry at the wrong government because you do not understand how EU operates. Fix yourself and be angry at specific countries. Here’s anology for you - this is like blaming all people of color X because what some in the group did.

This is why I asked. We have ongoing genocide at our doorstep, but people only speak about genocide happening in Gaza.

EU… selling weapons? What? EU doesn’t have some central arms factory they sell weapons from. You’re thinking of some country. Some countries have done a full embargo, including stopping arms trade. There are others who have not (Greece?).

I don’t think you understand EU.
