10·4日前it’s a type of ring of mushrooms all standing in a circle. it’s a natural phenomenon. pretty cool!
considering it’s mushrooms, they destroy some organic material, thereby releasing minerals into the environment which other plants absorb and grow faster that way.
1·7日前Actual human worth/value is measured in empathy for one another, which makes the US destitude in what matters.
well said. i had the exact same thought yesterday.
almost as if competition is what capitalism was always supposed to be about
14·8日前this is the turing test all over again: you can’t actually tell whether it’s handmade or made by a machine.
yeh
hot air balloons also have no stall speed.
41·9日前there should obviously be indexes which tell you what stuff exists. stuff like amazon where you search for “desk” and it shows you the 10 desk providers that can be delivered to your location.
Yeah i have that.
My best advice is that it matters more where you’re going than where you’re coming from.
all advertisement is bad. best to avoid all of it. use the fediverse, don’t use commercial internet platforms.
yeah the UK is going downhill very quickly and it’s evident in how nervously they respond to that saying.
i indeed only found out about that rn
But you seem like a refreshingly normal person rather than one of the ideologically motivated internet cold warriors
hehe thanks, i try to be.
i mean yeah, literally, look at how the Iranian regime is allowed to post its anti-US propaganda lego movies on Twitter.
edit: nvm that was a bad take.
The only way to do this is if meaningful alternatives exist first.
you can’t ban corporate-owned social media because the population would revolt. It’s already revolting when social media is about to be banned for teenagers. just ask anyone on lemmy about this.
the fediverse needs to become an acceptable alternative first, only after that can people move away from big corpo-owned networks.
believe it or not, that’s exactly what a wealth tax would do.
Take away the kids access to communicate with friends and what the fuck do they have left? It’s not like we have youth centers or shit any more. Barely had any when I was a kid;
well, i grew up in the countryside and we did have youth centers. i can guarantee you i made a wide circle around them, in the sense that i avoided them like the plague
it’s not the absence of youth centers that’s the problem, it’s the fact that i grew up in a very backwards rural countryside full of the exact type of shitheads that you would expect to find there. one person more annoying than the next, the excesses in alcohol consumption weren’t the worst part, it was how people looked at people who didn’t fit their definition of “normal”. really not a good place to be.
i mean i agree that most people prefer to live in small groups. i was just pointing it out for reasons that i now forgot.
also, Johnny, it’s really weird to be called by name somehow.
i grew up in a small austrian town but it didn’t really have much nature besides 3 trees standing next to our house (that i used to climb btw, was fun).
now i live in vienna and i spent like 10 hours last week exploring the river bank of a small river around here, it’s beautiful. so much better. i realize that this is because of many factors, but one of them is that a flat empty piece of land can just be so absolutely mind-bogglingly boring and generic that nobody even bothers to try to make something beautiful out of it. at least that’s my take.
Oh and vienna was built between the mountains on one side and a large river on the other side, and i am starting to think that that does make a difference. I’ve yet to put it to proper words, though.
