Sometimes I'm wondering if some are discovering capitalism. Selling non-solutions is an integral part of capitalism.

This is an old capture (2018). Steve died last year.

Wait until you see the urinal in a rural fest made of just a 10m long pipe cut in half. Cheap and highly effective. Bonus point when they have a tablet at eye level to put your drink.

Also, following groups is key.

It's worse than you think.

The miasma part is pre-germ. The worst part is what's following. The immune system and healthy living part is an ideology that is popular in the New Age beliefs. It was very popular in some communities in the 60s and 70s. But, it's an older ideology about health. The Nazi themselves used this and believed (at least partially) in the immune system bullshit. They all base their beliefs on a German umbrella term and movement, the Lebensreform (German Wikipedia for a longer article )

It was promoted by wealthy bourgeois that lived in urban and industrialized areas of Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. The intent was a natural and healthy lifestyle to counter the detrimental effects of industrialization, urban living, and "modernity" on health and overall well-being. It included for example organic food, alternative medicine but also spiritual and religious beliefs.

I highly recommend reading some lines about it. It helps to understand RFK Jr. and where his bullshit comes from.

If the UK wants to defy Trump, they have to become a member of the EU and the Euro zone.

Fun story here, I co-organized parties and we sold slaps for 2 bucks each. Guest what? It worked very well.

Trump voters are the same as the ones paying to be slapped minus the party.

Tried to be nearer to God. Still didn't find God.

Lack of education (and a university degree changes nothing) which ends in a lack of critical thinking. The causes are deeper than "it's the economy", "they are delusional", "social media", even if social media is bad for critical thinking. You still have to educate yourself in many fields to develop your cognitive capabilities, and this from a young age.

Going outside, playing with a stick and a rock, develops your brain. You're the actor of your life. A smartphone screen puts the kid in a passive state.

But it would be too easy to blame just this. It's more than one factor. This politics of doom scrolling serves an economical purpose. The economy is over wellbeing. More and more norms are put on the human being, alienating them.

Masculinism is a simple theory, solution, to a more complex issue. Humans like these simple answers.

We have to address these multiple dots connected to each other's. It's not just masculinity, it's the society in which we want to live.

This GIF is great!

 

In a much-anticipated ruling, the European Court of Human Rights has decided that Swiss authorities are responsible for not implementing efficient climate change policies[...]

On Tuesday, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) upheld their appeal and condemned Switzerland for violating the right to respect for private and family life (Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights).

Today’s ruling is unprecedented. This is the first time that the ECHR has condemned a state for failing to take action against climate change, linking the protection of human rights to compliance with environmental obligations.

[...]


The new ruling should apply to the 46 States member of the European Council.

 

I wanted to say thank you for this great app to browse Lemmy. I appreciate all the work you're putting to keep the app alive with updates. I see a lot of bug reports and/or complain but not enough thanks and positive feedback.

Thank you!

New laptop (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

Hi everyone!

I need to buy a new laptop to replace my 12 years old laptop. I didn't look after hardware for a while for some personal reasons.

I will buy something new. My needs are:

  • photo editing
  • video editing
  • vector graphics editing/creation
  • good battery life (I don't want to worry about)
  • web navigating, docs, spreadsheets
  • USB-C charging would be nice

I don't game, and Framework isn't available where I live.

I would be happy to have some recommendation on what is a good hardware for this use and good brand.

Thanks!
