Fediverse@lemmy.world•Observation: Two types of Fediverse usersEnglish
12·3 years agoHuh? Privacy doesn‘t seem to be one of the best selling features, is it? Well, yes, you don‘t have to use your real name, but someone posted an article today, that not even private messages here are private.
I switched to board games instead! There are so incredibly well designed and immersive board games now, that also can be played solo! Marvel Champions, Spirit Island, Arkham Horror The Card Game, just to name a few…

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is climate change sending us towards an apocalypse, or will it just make life shit/hard?English
29·3 years agoWell, it highly depends on how hard we try to stop climate change.
If you want a serious answer, read the IPCC report.

politics @lemmy.world•Is this community just a clone of r/politics ?English
21·3 years agoNo, it’s not. You’re not an enlightened tolerant and rational human being by claiming both sides are equally at fault.
Just one example: I’d agree with you, if both sides would make equally as many false claims. But that’s not the case..
It’s not “Only your side is bad and my side is good”. There ARE liars on both sides. But that shouldn’t lead to the conclusion that both sides are telling equally as much lies.
Why is that so important? Because you would totally miss out on the rhetorical tactics they use to push their agenda. Take Trump’s caravan, Hunter’s laptop, false election claims. All of them were lies, but had a massive impact. Show me equally as bad examples the Democrats use to push their narrative.
Also, you can check, if you are open minded or not with the help of something called falsifiability. Ask yourself:
- What kind of proof would change my mind about this?
- Is there substantial proof?
- (Don’t) change your mind.

01·3 years agoBecause the Republicans are aggressively pushing this tribal culture war and it never should get normalized. They deserve to get called out on it.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How did Lemmy.world become more popular than Lemmy.ml?English
462·3 years agoWhen I had to choose I thought .world means, it‘s the central, most important place to be. Didn‘t know what the other abbreviations meant. Didn‘t care.

World News@lemmy.world•Russian mercenary group Wagner chief Prigozhin moves against The KremlinEnglish
1·3 years agoOof, but do we prefer the Wagner chef with nuclear weapons or Putin with nuclear weapons?

World News@lemmy.world•Wagner Group captures headquarters of the Southern Military District and the building of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Rostov, the headquarters of Russia's base of operations for War in UkraineEnglish
5·3 years agoWhile it’s always great to watch enemies turning against each other (Baubert vs MTG!), let‘s not forget that Putin is a mad man with his finger on a nuclear button.
I wish the best for the people living there who will suffer the consequences of a dictator who gets pushed into a corner.
