  • From Western media in English. You're in a cultural and linguistic bubble online where people who think like you ( or within an expected range of dissenting opinions ) post and respond.

    The ideas and values you see and even have fall into a range that believe it or not is different in other communities, often segregated by language.

    It's hard to explain if you're a monolinguist, but the language you speak includes ideas and cultural nuance for idea that doesn't often cross the language and cultural boundaries.

  • Honestly if you're living in a Western country, you are a victim of major anti North Korean propaganda that goes all the way back to the Korean War.

    Like, North Korea is nowhere near as bad as people think, and it's people are fairly happy, yes the government censors and controls media, but it also creates a unified and strong society with far less division than all these Western countries tearing themselves down the middle about which party is less evil.

  • Came for the double entendre, stayed for the wood.

  • Jackdaw

  • I used it a decade ago and it was my favorite distro

  • Lo escribí en una manera k quería, si claro, cómo así lol

  • nmms es fácil leerlo we

  • Honestly it's completely readable as someone who can understand Spanish, but it feels otherworldly for some reason, like I'm reading a quite not right version of Spanish, like reading Afrikaans to a Dutch speaker.

  • I also had never heard of Lorde until South Park lol. I didn't hear my first song by her IRL until like 2011/2012 with Royals.

  • Cool, what's a reasonable replacement?

  • I would use an activity pub Lemmy verse Facebook

  • I recently learned that cats are drawn to resemble anime girls. You can see this in their face shape and eye position. It blew my mind.

  • Nah, same here. I never connected it online. I just use it as a display

  • American prisons are a horror show, I can confidently say I would rather die.

  • Ah so the workaround is that as long as cruel punishment is normalized, it's always acceptable. You can do something unethical today, and as long as people let you get away with it, it's completely moral.

    Thanks America!

  • This is criminal, but I guess it's okay because the 13th amendment says prisoners are property so they don't have to worry about their health, safety and rights.

  • Well before I got voted down, that was my point. China and Taiwan consider both territories as China. This literally means that Taiwanese see Taiwan as China, and both belief systems are in agreement about there being one China, they just disagree about how that works.

    Foreigners don't get that Taiwanese see themselves as Chinese, and it's just infinitely more complex than they are two different countries, mostly because that's not really the case.

  • I low key love it. It's unconventional, but it's not hard to read
