How is that relevant now?

Yeah, but the dentist will still get paid and he will also get filthy rich in Germany. The joke works in Germany just as well as in the US…

Yeah, but your comment was still kinda pointless in the context of this meme/joke. (Bin auch Besserwisser.)

Another terrifying british 24°C heat wave?

The situation of trans peoplem in Turkey is interesting. They were much more dominant part of society much earlier than in the west. It was completly normal in many parts of Istanbul to see trans people in the 1980s already. Trans people were also big part of pop culture quite early, Bülent Ersoy for example became a trans superstar in the 1980s. Gender change is legal since 1988 (much earlier than many EU countries).

At the same time, there defintly are a lot of social repercussions against trans people.

It is quite the mixed pack tbh.

Turks are the perfect alphas confirmed (we don’t have gender in our language). He, she, it, all the same to us.

Would be interesting seeing his evangelical supporters justifying this.

Why do they measure your feet as an adult? Is that common in the US? I don’t think i had my feet measured since I was 15 or so.

2l sound excessive.

1.5 liters a day is a set amount, right?

Tbh money could be the initiative. So many content creators nowadays have platforms beside YouTube. Often even self hosted weboages. If a federated alternative would come up, they could just set up an own server and keep all the earnings.

This would somehow need to get started though. No idea how.

They didn’t capitulate. They never fought. They just did what was the best shot at earning money and gaining ground at the time.

Don’t ever expect moral based behavior in capitalism or geopolitics.

Check them out. Some are great (Cranberries and Blur for example). I also guess you’ll know more than you think.

Haha, the chat system? That will be a shitshow. Oh my, thank you dessalines@lemmy.ml for creating an alternative. :)

Lol, first I hear about paid subreddits (I am not much on reddit since they ended 3rd party apps). This might actually be the end of reddit, if they are really that dumb.

Nah, that is not really true. There has been a significant bump due to covid, but before covid IQ test results have shown constant improvements.

That said, I don’t think IQ and political idiocy are that strongly correlated. I’ve met a lot of highly trained people, who would doubtlessly get great IQ test results, who are politically extremely gullible.

That also said, IQ tests are a quite flawed way to assess intelligence.

My personal believe is: This is not about people getting dumber, but about propagandists getting better. I also think that unsteadiness is a way better catalysator for fascism than low intelligence.

I get most of my work done on friday afternoons. It is also the only time of the week when I actually enjoy work. Finally I can relax, knowing the phone won’t ring. (And I start feuds with anyone who calls me on my workphone on friday afternoons!).

P (And E) are for stochastic functions.

I was sitting next to my wife for a few hours talking to her (we brought food and so on, so no need for me to go anywhere).

I mean, I would have had time to play games, but I doubt I’d still be married. Tbf, I never even thought about that possibility before seeing this post.

I could maybe understand it, if it was a problematic pregnancy. Like, the wife of a friend of mine had to lie in a hospital bed for several weeks before giving birth to reduce the risk of premature birth. You’ll want to spend as much time there as possible, but after sitting in a room together for weeks, this might start to sound like a good idea,
