ok i stepped onto that one myself.

the occasional consumption of anime with subs helps me pick up words here and there. But I can tell its tough to learn

All the poor are obviously not educating themselves

no i learnt french in freshman year college… 15 years ago

comment means how

damn should have guessed

is the rest of my translation correct?

I know i sound like a doomer but…

maybe the bubble is about to burst and this is just panic diversification of assets? it sure is funny to attribute it to that.

ah so you have discovered in your comment how french functions.

what’s Desole?

I didn’t get that vibe from the parent comment. the reaction was to the motivations of the rich fatcats who aren’t happy with the obscene wealth they already have. Not American Exceptionalism.

Microsoft is no longer permitted on my PC

I am sure there is some overlap

Steam, Visa, Mastercard are not U.S companies?

literature is boring, hearing crazy stories is more interesting ^That’s a joke please don’t downvote me too much^

thats a dishonest argument. One has a money assembly line straight to a billionaire’s house. The other’s assembly line that has a possibility to be used for public good.

it may not seem like it but… being offline is the best thing you can do to your mental health. No need to overwhelm your brain with stuff happening elsewhere when you already have to deal with stuff closer to home. Being aware is generally better than being ignorant but it shouldn’t disable your daily life.

its a paid platform where engagement (i.e bickering in the comments section) is near absent. And the content is allowed to address themes that make main stream media blush.

taking a guess but I already saw some other comments on another thread mention this: The chart boys in any corps will see Engagement == Profit. Thus they will tune their recommendations solely for that. And if you aren’t bothered about properly policing your video upload platform the end result is highly divisive content thats “not boring”.

Divisive content makes people angry so they engage in comments.

i used to be on reddit. And I used to get into “debates” that devolved into a slap fight and make me angry about the people who intentionally or unintentionally riled me up with outrageous (real or my own perception) opinions.

While lemmy also has slap fights, I feel like the lack of an “algorithm” tuned for engagement prevents continuous fueling of the fire, metaphorically speaking.

yes way. I have seen it with my own father. And the saddest part is they got this from religious rightwing media and have never ever interacted or had an opportunity to interact with the out-group that they are told to fear. Oh and, I am not from the 1st world. This shit is everywhere.

i think he is analyzing how maga thinks not being a maga himself… but i could be wrong.

and look how they made him a lackey for Ironman in Marvel universe!
