::: spoiler ID: Orange, with Admin tag says: I agree wholeheartedly. My assumption was that such behavior was simply a symptom of the relatively larger proportion of Europeans on this site, and their obvious jealousy and insecurity regarding Americans. I still believe that is the most likely explanation. To be clear, America has done hella dumb shit lately, and is deserving of criticism on many fronts. But what OP is referring to goes beyond that. It’s emotional animosity that overflows the bounds of reasonable criticism and targets individuals rather than governmental decisions or policies. The number of times that I have seen people refer to the American contribution to WWII as cowardice, meaningless, etc, is too damn high. 400,000 Americans died in that war. Read a fucking history book you ignorant, insensitive fucks. It’s certainly possible that there are agents in our midst sowing divisiveness, although unlikely. I don’t have any beef with any nationality, because I don’t judge people based on where they were born. That should be common sense, but it’s apparently difficult for some people to wrap their heads around. Another user replies: You think Europeans are jealous of Americans? You couldn’t pay me to live there, especially with Trump in power. Orange admin responds: Yes. America controls the world, and Europeans are salty about it. I didn’t even realize how salty until I started using Lemmy, but it’s incredibly obvious on here. FWIW, I would be salty too. But you can also be mature about it and realize that the average American isn’t to blame for this reality. ::: ---------------------------------------------------------- Not sure if this is the right community for this, since I wasn’t banned but instead tried blocking the admin (but can’t, is that right?? If so, that’s power tripping on another level) and am seriously considering moving instance if this clown is in charge of any part of the one I’m on.

There is no legitimate defence for prioritising "legality" over morality, especially if you ONLY do it when a victim of oppressive systems fights back - that just makes you a bootlicking class traitor

Switching notifications off?

Switching notifications off? - sh.itjust.works

I’m not sure what happened, but for the last few days I’d had no notifications for new replies (which were coming in thick and fast), and it was absolute bliss. Unfortunately I had a power cut and my PC rebooted, and now the notifications are back (including those that weren’t showing before), so I assume it was an error on my end but still - is it possible to make this a real option? In an ideal world it would be like on reddit where you could switch off notifications per post and even per thread, but I’ll take an all or nothing option at this point.

Saw this random video, curious what it is of - sh.itjust.works

@[email protected] [https://lemm.ee/u/sag] shared a link to this great site [https://walzr.com/IMG_0001] earlier and I’ve been watching random videos on it, and this came up. It’s of no importance, just curiosity about both what the machine is, and will anyone on here recognise it (could be pretty generic for its field, my guess might be medical/imaging? or could be something unique, I have no idea!)
