I was just about to ask “I know that name from somewhere and it has a negative connotation. Do I remember that correctly?”. This song gave me the confidence to say “yes”.

They are dismissing the value of getting more of those small countries on board. Getting them past the threshold could also have an effect on the gamers in those countries. Who knows what kinds of people may have been untapped. Discarding them as irrelevant is counter-productive.

“Shut up, let the big boys do the lifting”. It’s the same attitudes that are pervasive throughout the union. The voices of those small countries are important. The line of thinking that small countries don’t matter fits very well with the “I’m just one person, so if I don’t vote, nobody will care”. We should be encouraging our brethren from smaller countries to be part of the democratic process instead of just excluding them. The Union wouldn’t listen to the Eastern States after Crimea’s invasion in 2014 and shrugged them off during the renewed invasion.

Imagine if we said the same thing about queers. “Nah, we don’t need their votes, they’re irrelevant, let’s focus on the hets”.

So yes, the implication of irrelevance bothers me because it’s deeper than just this issue.

• hey, we need a final push for these countries
• nah, shut up, they are irrelevant, concentrate on these instead
• *sarcastic response*
• the person telling you to shut up is being helpful, your sarcasm is rude

OK.

All my gamer friends know about this, because I told them. I’ve told them and I know at least 3 of them that signed.

Yeah, nevermind then. Let’s do nothing. Might as well just twiddle our thumbs and hope the large countries find another 500k people to sign the initiative. The small countries can be ignored 🤷‍♂

If “economist failures” were bad, let’s turn someone else - left extremists who talk lgbt only (that is secondary to economy or whole non important factor)? or right extremists who promises moneys? Yeah, promises. Very same awesome moneys as whole world sees effects of usa and tariffs right now.

Yep, left parties really do fail at putting the wealth disparity left, right, and center. They get distracted with whatever or issue exists that would be great to be tackled, but not first :/

If you could share the initiative in the lithuanian spaces, that’d be great. Here it is in Lithuanian

So we need consumer complaints too. Pressure has to come from the public. If you see something wrong with a product or company, monopolistic behavior, send in a report to the consumer protection agency of your country.

I don’t know if they can sue them, but I hope they can get other companies to join. Fighting google in court is a monumental undertaking for a company. But if they can get the EU consumer protection to sue for them, that would be amazing too.

Far-right populist Slawomir Mentzen, currently polling third, is virulently anti-Ukrainian and supports an “agreement” with Russia’s Vladimir Putin …

The Polish state should really be doing its utmost worst if a Russia sympathiser can poll third. Have they forgotten how many Poles died at the hands of the Soviets?

Pirate Software - that cunt

Sure, but look at what’s going on in Lithuania. They can’t get 2k people to sign the petition? Wth? Are there no Lithuanian gamers?

Block em. I blocked nearly every community about USAian politics and my feed is now quite OK. Also block people who make everything political. There will still be enough out there to interact with, trust me. I’ve blocked swathes of people here and still find it entertaining. Also, do your best to contribute non-political content, it’ll help provide others something to comment on that isn’t political (and of course block those that try to turn it political).

Also, do create multiple accounts per activity. A political account, a non-political account, a gaming account, a botany account, a bird-watching account,… whatever your interests are, make an account for it and curate your content. I have multiple and this is probably my most political one. Others barely mention politics and aren’t connected to this one. Until lemmy or other fediverse software allows creating personas on the same account, this is the solution I find works best.

In other words, there is no real algorithm here that will secretly bubble up certain type of content depending on how you interacted with the platform. You more influence on your own experience than you know.

“I never write reviews on anything”. Well, maybe this’ll teach him to do so next time.

Ban them. It’s that simple. The hard is making Germany a place where people won’t want to vote for these fucks, but at least ban them first. If you don’t well, we’re seeing in the US, Hungary, and other countries what happens when these people get in power. Would be quite ironic though to have a lesbian right-winger take down German democracy. If she had black hair and hazel eyes, it would be even better.

Amerkar. I like that

For PFAS that definitely isn’t true

In the new EPA study, experts added oxidizing substances to water contaminated with PFASs and heated the liquid above its critical temperature of 374 degrees Celsius at a pressure of more than 220 bars. During this process, the water becomes what is called supercritical: it is neither a gas nor a liquid. In this state, even water-repellent substances such as PFASs dissolve much more readily, and at the same time, the state accelerates chemical reactions.
