What are you talking about? There is a literal “Stop Oligarchs” Tour going on right now.

My first trial (after 2 months) was installing something that was not on the software manger. With installation instructions writen for Arch. That needed Python to work. It stops feeling like windows real quick then :-)

I’ve used Windows 10 since it’s release. I had to reset it twice because I had a virus, which very much was my misstake. Other than that it did just work fine.

I’ve switched to Mint 2 months ago and I am troubleshooting a lot. Most of that comes from inexpeariance, but the point still stands.

Windows is more or less stable most of the time.

I did that 2 moths ago and rarley boot into windows any longer. It’s a learning curve for sure, and I’m at the bottom part of it, but it feels nice to expand your knowledge bit by bit.

Relevant XKCD

I don’t mean this as an attack at all, but isn’t calling Luigi “Green Mario” a way to comply with the wired reddit cencorship?

We are on Lemmy, you can speak freely here.

Or did something just go over my head?

I tryed to Google a picture of him, but… 😱

I have respect for the teacher. She is willing to risk her job to stand up for her values and is not bending the knee. Every Democrat should take a good long look at her.

Yes they are.

What actually happend to the Qanon movement? Is that still a thing? Is it dead?

But he didn’t say that. Others have defended him, yes.

The Dalai Lama hinself apologised for the joke and acknowledged that it must have sounded strange for a western audience.

The mother of the boy was sitting in true audience and she wasn’t offended by it at all. She defended the Dalai Lama. That in of itself doesn’t mean anything, I have to admit. If you’re in a cult you tend to close your eyes to abuse. But take a closer look at the whole situation:

Of course, it could be possible that the person whon spent his live reaching out to the West, preaching about love and kindness, decided to make a very puplic statement about his pedophile nature while beeing on a stage surrounded by cameras. Or it was an interaction between two people of a different culture whom had an exchange that, admittedly, sounds strange to Western ears.

I know what I think is more likley here. Especially because there was nothing else after this. Usually, once a public person is called out for abusive behaviour, there will be some victims who are encouraged to break their silence. In this case? Nothing. Doesn’t that make you question your assumption of him beeing a pedo at least a bit?

What you are doing here is using the western culture as a benchmark to judge the culture of another region. Not everything is seen trough a sexual lens, that’s just your western mindset doing that.

You can read about it here, for example.

But everybody said about Trumps tariffs, that the American people will have to pay them. Can somebody explain why Canada keeping the Tariffs is good then? Aren’t it the Canadian people paying for them?

Hoest question BTW, I’m not trying to be snarky. I’m just a bit slow sometimes.

Show me one example, please. In my experience the message for his followers is absolutely the same. He soaked about Buddha, about kindness and wisdom and how to apply the Buddhas words in the modern world.

I have seen quite a few events now that he held for Tibtain monks and nuns and that were provided with English subtitles. I see no different message than he has it for westend audiences. Of course, it there is a difference in how he speaks about things, but not what he is saying.

Ah, nothing but a bit of casual racism on your left wing platform.

And you can get rid of them for a reasonabley low one time payment. I can’t even remember how much it was, I think in the ballpark of 10 €.

Testing Gender and Transrelated Medicine is not “Making Mice Transgender”.

But yes, the spending was to test a medical treatment, the same way how many medical treatments are tested. He is opposing this specific research for ideological reasons, of course.
