Borders shift, bro. - Lemmy.World

Lemmy

Unpopular opinion but do folks honestly not understand how those borders shifted? Mostly because a bunch of countries tried to murder the Jews and yeah, Israel took part of their land in the counter offensives.

If Ukraine kept Kursk, I can’t imagine we’d really be complaining?

Basically, if you launch a surprise war I think you forfeit the right to be surprised or angry when your land gets taken.

Hey dude, I just wanted to let you know there is an option in your setting so you don’t see upvotes or downvotes.

Lemmy (AFAIK) doesn’t even show you your total upvotes by default either. None of these imaginary points fucking matter.

So why don’t you do yourself a favor and uncheck these boxes and not give a fuck what others think about your comment.

I know I have.

Oh neat, thanks for sharing!

I don’t actually care about downvotes or upvotes for comments (for posts, I’m generally trying to make communities laugh, so I do like them there to refine my approach etc.)

I’m more just… Well, it’s Lemmy, some of the replies are, uhhh, impressive and heartbreaking (not because they’re mean, it just makes me wonder about how we win a majority of votes while being associated with some goddamn crazy people.)

Anyway, really appreciate you sharing this, I’ll probably use some of these settings!
