He really didn’t give a shit about any voter.

Only the votes.

“Not keep commitments”.

In what sort of a life do you live that nothing surprising ever happens or you interact with no-one because you’d know people are unpredictable.

I watch people doing in public - personally I am never going to buy the argument that this is about "convenience

I’m use to drive a taxi for several years. When I started, GPS was still rather shit. (I usually preferred the street dictionary.) And when I was a kid, my dad had NMT phones in his cars.

You might not have any engagements that require any sort of fluidity, but other people sure do. For instance I’m driving someone from place a to place b. During the ride, they suddenly realise they need something from a shop. That’s an extra 10 min now that I could not predict, making me possibly late for the next ride, depending on where and when it’s from. Even with mobiles, it was hard to actually tell people times with accuracy more than a ±30 min after I had a fare or two in queue.

So yeah. Modern gps the ability for people to see how long it’ll be before you’re at their place has really made it more convenient. Not to mention that this convenience includes card payments. Because before you’d have to have a credit card and manually run it through the receipt labeler thingy. ka-chunk

To me it’s pretty obvious that it’s just addiction and irrational social contagion.

To me it’s pretty obvious you’re just being reductive because it’s not purely positives, like with anything in the real world.

If you don’t focus on high-schoolers and instead look at 30+ people going about their day, I’m sure it’s not “just doomscrolling and addiction”.

Hell, imagine if covid had hit 25 years earlier. The fuck would’ve we been doing? Working from home like everyone did would not have been possible. But it’s not like chilling at home while working is convenient, right?

Yes, politely asking the same question you’ve always refused to answer, just like davel@lemmy.ml does as well.

It’s really not weird for anyone that you don’t reply. We know you can’t trust your government enough to even when you’re spreading it’s propaganda to lie about not agreeing with it. Like how in North Korea you’d never joke about harming Dear Leader.

That’s why you refuse to say you’re not pro-Russian. Because you are. If your education wasn’t so bad, you might realise that this is pretty clear for everyone else. :)

A single Yes-or-No question. “A tantrum”. You need more English lessons, comrade.

Lol whops, bad phrasing on my bad, I can dee that.

I meant “we are sure of who’s doing it”, obviously, but yes, it could be read like that.

So you are pro-Russian and support Russia breaking international laws with their invasion of Ukraine?

I don’t know man, I’m often out and about when I need to communicate to people.

I find it rather convenient to not have to find a library or an Internet-cafe, especially seeing my city doesn’t have any anymore probably.

And I remember living without a mobile before they came along. There’s a certain romantic novelty in agreeing to meet under x sign in y place at x hour. But it wears off fast, and if you’re running a bit late or want to reschedule something on the fly? Good luck without a mobile of any sort, smart or not.

I’m not American, bruh.

I’m just reporting what your president elect has said.

Nice

Why would you advertise being a drop-out? Russian education is already so garbage.

Are you pro-Russian? Simple question. Just say you’re against Putler invading Ukraine, unless you’re actively for it?

Oh fuck I wrote a lengthy comment on mobile and it got lost without getting saved to drafts.

Tldr I guess is that growing up I used to wonder how Hitler ever became accepted. Then in 2016 Trump won, when I thought it impossible, a meme candidate. My belief in Americans was crushed. Now again. And shameless genocide going on in Palestine. And Russia coldly invaded Ukraine.

Growing up in the oughts as a teen, Obama as president, things didn’t seem this worrying. The drone strikes morally dubious, but not worldwide threat concerning.

Now I don’t wonder anymore how Hitler got to be so accepted. Slowly. Step by step. With each of Trump*s elections and these conflicts, my belief in a lot of humanity decreases, and my passion about changing things in creases, yet resources to do anything about it dwindle.

Ugh the first one was so much better grumble grumble

Exactly the fucking problem, I feel like.

Especially when basically the biggest party we had to go against them is now proverbially sucking Putin’s cock.

So…

Yeah. I fucking hate war mongering, but I can’t ignore the crazies. And I live like less 6 hours away from St. Petersburg by car, in Finland. I mean technically Russia would be dumb to nuke us, but also if there’s a lot of nukes flying to St. Petersburg, that wouldn’t be too good.

Idk man I know we shouldn’t doom too much over this but I’m anxious at home and it is a real thing, however improbable. I mean Putin might be off his fucking nut, but he did serve in the military and should be quite aware of what nuclear war would be like. Which is not something I’d say for Trump.

Buy a sickeningly expensive Dyson Detect vacuum.

Costs like 600-1000 depending on what sort of model you get.

But I’ve used one, my brother has a cat now and a Dyson. And it really does work well.

But probably a bit expensive. I fucking want one. I’ve never wanted a vacuum so bad.

Here’s the thing though, trusting that it’s only a threat sort of relies thinking that the leadership of Russia isn’t batshit-fucking-insane, and that’s not something I would put money on.

I agree we can’t allow them to just go “nukes” and do whatever they want, but let’s not pretend the threat isn’t real to some degree.

Oh they really preparing to end humanity, huh.

Fuck Putler.

Fuck with him with a shit-covered brush, sideways. Until he stops this insanity.

Idk if you meant it like that, but I read that in the voice of the woman on “Baby Got Back”.

“m-m-me so hoooorny”

But angry

I find it far less disturbing.

Yeah looking at the history it’s very problematic, but England has always retained a some sense of… morality. Fuck monarchy and all, but I find it very challenging to imagine the UK going as insane as the US is currently.

Like when you read shit like this, I know who I favour historically:https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Bamber_Bridge

Yeah you’ll see that implied a lot on Lemmy.ml

Also Baltic Sea isn’t really known for sharks, cold as it is.
