This post is a little broken for me. I can't copy or click on the link (on mobile, in voyager) because it's in the captain of the image, rather than in the body of the post.

Transliterated country names into Chinese Language use pre-existing characters that already has its own meaning, therefore native Chinese speakers have a subconcious impression based on country names.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. While I agree there is a lot of hostility on online forms, I hope you will work with us to make Lemmy less hostile and more welcoming.

I very much agree with your perspective on things. Thanks for the back and forth. I do hope people feel encouraged to do what is within their power, if it's at the supermarket, their school, or work.

We all have basically no power but together we still wield quite a lot. Each small action and conversation can help others act.

Thanks for this conversation.

I think I understand now, thank you, but I think that your definition of "going about your day normally" is not the author's intent, it seems circular.

By your definition(if I understand it):

If I put in the work to avoid buying Israeli products, I am still going about my day normally, because I normally try to avoid supporting a genocide.
All of the members of the Samud Floatila were just going about their day normally when they went head to head with the Israel military, because they normally fight genocide.
Harriet Tubman and Nelson Mandela were just going about their day normally, because amazing activism is what they normally do.

I think the author's intent is that if you learned you were supporting genocide, like many people that pay taxes to the US, Germany, and other places are coming to realize, then you should act to stop supporting the genocide.

You asked:

what's the proposed alternative to "going about your day normally"?

And I think you gave one good answer with:

You have some agency to try to pick less bad options

To paraphrase you a little:

A refusal to purchase from any unethical companies [...] is a surrender of what little control we as the working class do have [...]

If there is an unethical company and I refuse to buy from them am I giving up control?

Edit: Do I not control my purchases?

I'm no power user. The VPN client works fine on Ubuntu. For everything else on Ubuntu I use a web browser.

Some of the proton apps are on f-droid.

That's fun. Yeah having it write unit tests is overwhelming. It's so happy to churn out so many tests and they are mostly meaningless because most of the info it has is the code itself, not much of the high level intent.

I think your perspective and critique is valid and interesting but it can be helpful to assume the best in people, especially when giving a critique.

In my experience, kids (and adults) love the fact that Iceland is greener and Greenland is icier, so it's not surprising to me that other languages have similar odd names. It's not surprising to me that some people would have a biased opinion of a place due to an odd name, but like Iceland I expect many know much more about a country than just the name and thus the name doesn't hold much weight.

This was reported for not being a shower thought. It's certainly not hard to get a bunch of up votes on Lemmy by saying "ultra rich people bad", and I agree. At the same time I understand people that want to limit the community to more 'typical' shower thoughts, like on r/showerthoughts.

I error on the side of leaving posts up. If there is an objective way to enforce what is or isn't a shower thought, I'm open to ideas from the community.

In the US 🇺🇸 , more than twice as many people die in car crashes as in the EU 🇪🇺 (~43k deaths vs ~20k deaths, annually)

跳过

vatlark @lemmy.world 4天前

The EU population is 450 million people with an average density of 106 people/km2. The US is 350 million at 33 people/km2.

There are probably better metrics than straight density.

^ This was reported for being a troll. I think the reporter is correct. Even the original post is a bit of a troll for the average Lemmy person.

If you choose to reply to this comment, careful not to feed the trolls.

Thanks for posting in shower thoughts.

Rule 2 is that the entire thought must be in the title. Do you think you could edit your post?

Ideally shower thoughts are applicable to lots of people. See the side bar for examples. I guess the idea that the prior year has been bruising, but we made it through, could be generally applicable.
