The shopping cart test for a community. […] Culture is learned from your peer group.

Perfect example… Germany universally has this deposit system for their shopping carts but bypassed the handling and inserting of a coin into the cart at the height of covid.

Since then I have barely seen any reversal there. People still return their carts although they don’t need to get their coin back where the system is still disabled. Or they just conveniently forget to use the system and still bring their carts back without locking them there where the system is operational again.

The actual deposit was basically only needed for the learning phase. After this it just works automatically.

Still using an S7E to this day as the battery seems basically indestructable…

The one single weak spot? I actually had to replace the glue.

Basically the US and heavily english-speaking countries easier infected with the same brain-rot the US’ corporate ruling class calls “culture”.

(IOs/Android vs. english-speakers vs. income)

The US in brainlessly-adoring-corporations centric.

Which is exactly the reason while Android is shrinking in the US while Google is growing.

“We Nazis…” shows a rare honesty at least…

Nein, wir kriegen das nicht hin. Weil immer noch die tatsächlichen Ursachen verleugnet werden.

Kaum jemand zieht sich frustriert ins Private zurück, weil gerade einige Dinge in der Welt nicht rund laufen. Sonst wäre das ein Dauerzustand für die Meisten. Gab ja nun genug Krisen.

Man zieht sich zurück, weil “da draußen” nichts ist, außer einer ständigen Beschallung durch Propaganda auf der einen und völligem Medienversagen auf der anderen Seite.

Wer als Journalist nach Jahren Corona auch jetzt noch Wirrköpfe in politischen Diskussionen zu Wort kommen lässt, weil er immer noch nicht verstanden hat, dass diese falsche Ausgewogenheit jede Diskussion verzerrt und oft ad absurdum führt und auch nach langjähriger Erfahrung mit der Springer Presse immer noch lieber ungeprüft deren Narrative widerkäut aus Angst vielleicht ein paar Klicks zu verlassen, hat schlicht und einfach seinen eigentlichen Job aufgegeben und spielt nur noch Unterhalter für Idioten.

That’s basically the one universal solution… And after chrooting, you are “inside” your system cough

No

Because “including Spain, France and Greece” is a rather lacking description for 30 European countries:

Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland

Look how many people engaged only works if you manage to supress the context. Which -given the fact that r/place war already reported about each prior year- is not going to happen.

So you are basically saying people looking for advertising are going for a platform full of fucks, insults and destructive comments/behavior struggling to moderate because they are too stupid to look at anything but numbers of how many people loggend in?

“five central European countries want the EU ban extended at least until the end of the year.”

(Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovakia)

And with that we finally reached the point where everyone is Central Europe if they only believe very hard in it…

Left and right are artificial, meaningless constructs

Left and right are very useful construct… as a spectrum… on multiple axis.

It just seems completely meaningless, because so much here is tainted by the US perspective. And neither do they have a spectrum (with just two parties), nor multiple axis (again, two parties can’t represent nuanced opinion on different topics). In fact they don’t even have left and right, just right-wing and more far-right.

No, bots aren’t a thing alhough a lot of people pretend them to be. Trolls are still either human or very obviously fake.

The crimes of the Soviet Union while claiming to be communist are well documented.

FTFY

And not everything left of Eastern European nationalism is communism. In fact 90% of the political spectrum lies between these two extremes.

Ignore it.

“We all know the reasons but I’m not allowed to say it” is a well known dogwhistle meaning “It’s the immigrants and the evil elites not only ignoring these very real problems but actively trying to replace us all with easier to manipulate stupid foreigners”. And of course they are right with the second part… saying that bullshit out loud will indeed earn them insults and being called right-wing nutjobs.

What’s going on in Europe is being flooded by propaganda and bulshit narratives 24/7, mostly via social media run by US companies.

That would have been the second step after truthfully reporting that the “illegal immigrantion” topic is just the usual right wing dog whistle for pretending legal immigrants are an issue as well as refugees, that are of course badly checked and just illegal immigrants, too.

“They don’t have the money to help poor Americans because they give all the money to Ukraine!”

From the director of “We need more tax cuts for the rich, so the trickle down effect can save America” comes the incredible sequel to the famous “USA can’t have proper social security because they have to spend a fortune on military to European freeloaders.”

Soon on some shady right wing propaganda stream in your area…
