At this point I doubt tankies should be much of a concern. What are they, 1-2% of the potential Dem voter base? I’d sooner worry about the indecisive ones who have seen the performances in the debate.

Is this how you get boipregnant??

Idk I just thought those goth wristbands look cool

I don’t think this is the exact cause for the situation, but having more book related forks would probably just do harm by splitting up the audience. The book reading trackers are absolutely dominated by Goodreads, and any alternative desperately needs as much user concentration as possible.

BookWyrm was my first dip into the Fediverse, back when I was looking for an alternative to Goodreads.

Tbh if there’s a musician that deserves this sort of comments, Eno is definitely one of the best candidates.

This has to have some weird ass allegorical meaning.

EDIT: So apparently this is a picture from a “Stammbuch” (“friendship book”) by some Ludwig Hetzer, from 1620. The scan of the book can be found here: http://digital.wlb-stuttgart.de/purl/bsz475519329 (at 12 recto; has lots of other fascinatingly weird drawings and miniature paintings).

The lower part of the page seems to be a dedication from a friend in Latin (seems to be referring to a birthday?), and above might be the text (probably a proverb) that explans the image but it’s in Greek and I can barely decipher cursive Greek, much less figure out the meaning. The first word seems to be θεος (god), the last might be διχαζει (divide?).

Tbh just going off my intuition and the themes in other pictures in the book… the woman is poking the man with a stick with a heart-shaped ending, which could symbolise love/sexuality/marriage. So it could be like a caricature/“warning” showing a wife controlling her husband, literally pushing him around through emotional influence.

This reminds me of the anti-wind-energy arguments about the turbines killing many birds…

Basically yes (though it’s probably not a flash game), diep.io

and then it will turn out the monster was inside me all along

there’s only seven stories in the world

There isn’t. That’s a completely nonsensical statement, no serious scholar of litearture/film/etc. would claim something of the sort. While there have been attempts to analyse the “basic” stories and narrative structures (Propp’s model of fairy tales, Greimas’ actantial model, Campbell’s well-known hero’s journey), they’re all far from universally applicable or satisfying.

Yeah, I’ll shill for dbzer0 as the place to host the community.

less hate towards those who own several houses

There wasn’t hate, period. I find it a foreign and even anachronistic mindset, I’d sooner expect people here to be simply jealous of those better-off. Also, owning several houses, not just two, could be problematic, the govt would probably try to nationalise some of them, at the very least in the early period.

I don’t know the details of how it was all managed, housing wasn’t definitely guaranteed (SFRY had a rapid urbanisation of the population, and apparently it wasn’t easy to meet the demand for new housing), but overall the rate of homelessness was quite low, in part also thanks to the culture that didn’t mind large families living in a single house.

I kind of find it funny that people on Lemmy are so strictly against owning multiple houses, while it was completely ordinary for many people in my country (Croatia) to own two houses while the country was under literal socialist government (Yugoslavia).

Ehhhh, if you have expertise in ANY field outside of like programming, you can easily test various models and see that they produce a lot of crap. That doesn’t require you to understand how LLMs work exactly.

The former, I’m sure. Maaaybe GYBE had some inspiration on their own, but considering GYBE is (or used to be?) a bit of a meme on 4chan music board, it has to be them that the meme is referencing.

Why of course, I sure can’t wait until Israelis genocide Palestinians and finally make the region way more LGBT-friendly, God bless. 🫡

I do have to wonder what do people who claim things like these think of LGBTs who participate in right-wing political parties in the west. Are they bothered by such hypocrisy too?

yo lemming, I heard you like lemmy so we put a lemmy in your lemmy so you can lemmy while you lemmy

It can vary from place to place…

I do get easily annoyed by some people

Right, by some people. Now, if this were a real situation in a clinic and not a persecution fantasy, chances are the therapist would inquire how and why those people cause annoyance exactly. Basically: is your reaction reasonable (annoyed by someone causing you actual harm, non-trivial discomfort, etc.) or unreasonable (annoyed by trivial things such as someone’s clothes, skin colour if you’re a racist, etc.)?

I get angry and resentful when I think about the current state of politics.

Do you take out that anger and resentment upon other people, in ways which are harmful to them? Is your daily life hampered by those emotions? If not, it probably doesn’t count as a symptom.

And I do get spiteful when authority figures ask me to do something ridiculous (malicious compliance, basically)

It is not abnormal to react negatively to ridiculous tasks.

I don’t believe that psychologists would count these things as actual symptoms. Probably you’re fine and healthy.
