Whoa, I thought that just Australia was following American economics. The descent into privatisation on everything. I guess there are greedy and ignorant people everywhere. For some reason knowing Sweden is also going down the neoliberal toilet it makes me feel better and I dont know why. I guess its a feeling of inevitability.

Reminds me of John Stewart stating that to combat vested interest takes energy and effort every single day.

There are so many groups taking advantage of our overworked lives combined with the over abundance of useless information that distracts us from the real issues that impacts us. Its very difficult to know how and where to direct our energy. Of course thats my view as a social/environmental person. However, if you love the conservative/neoliberal view of the world. Then congratulations, things must seem pretty great right now.

Agree on everything, except

They do work together, just not publicly.

Looks bad when all the banks, supermarkets, insurance companies, oil and gas cartels set their own rules in mateship. So its purposely hidden, oh yes we are definitely in competition when its a duolopy/oligarchy *wink wink

To expend more energy and create more chaos in the universe.

All hail the god of entropy

Would Nomachine work?

Bhahaha

Nah, I didnt explain myself well. You arent going just to chat to attractive people. I just see plenty of organic interactions whenever I go to a concert. You def have to enjoy the music and have a good time. Any social situation can be creepy or non creepy, the individual needs social awareness to understand the difference. I dont talk to people while the music is playing but inbetween songs or sets you can simply comment that was awesome. I agree with you about festivals, downtime is good to chat and chill

Bro, go to as many concerts and gigs as you can. Take a single mate, its crazy watching how many random interactions take place.

Dont be scared to move around and chat to people. No one cares if you are trying to find a new viewing spot and its a great convo starter. I wish I went to more when I was younger.

But number 1 rule, earplugs

As someone wanting to share large files, what is your suggestion?

100% that someone has tasted/drunk/chewed whale milk. In fact I don’t think there would be many species that haven’t been milk tasted by a human at this point

Yay, also means through AUKUS that we are America’s little bitch. Lets hope Taiwan stays just friends with China.

Otherwise whoops, I guess all those military bases in Australia that the Americans use will become priority targets. Next minute I’m forced to hunt CCP tunnels in Taiwan wondering if I’m gonna be Vietconged

I moved over after the Reddit API with third party apps thing. Needed to voice my opinion with action

Lemmy is great, I spend way less time with it, it’s a nicer and generally more respectful community, and I’ve learnt a lot more about computers/OSS.

I realised that all my time with Reddit wasn’t actually teaching me anything valuable. I’m now more conscious of my internet usage

Yeah cant believe I had to scroll this far down.

Weed is like putting a sticker over the check engine light. It hides the issue/anxiety temporarily but by doing that consistently without dealing with the underlying issues the problem only gets worse.

Something I do every work day is go to a patch of grass, put on calming music and just stare at the sky and clouds. Let your mind wander, it may bring up bad thoughts and feelings but its better to understand how your mind works. Dont look at your phone either, just disconnect and watch the world go by.

I often think about early humans and their lives. Previously our ancestors had time to reflect and process thoughts, feelings and emotions. That is lost in our technological world and our obsession with consumption and distraction.

These exposures and patterns are relatively new to the human mind. Develop behaviours that allow you to cope with the external stimulus

Hahaha I agree with both replies

What, he’s right. We’ve been shit to NZ

Whaaat I cant even stand Martin Freeman in The Hobbit. Actually makes it hard to completely let go and enjoy the movie.

Depends, do you like the job ? Is it worth the effort in changing the dynamic?

Noooooooo

I was so excited for another Tron movie.

I remember reading a Guardian article in which it discussed the requirements of any market to either evolve or die based on the circumstances it finds itself in.

It highlighted that because Communism could not adapt quickly enough to its circumstances that it failed - the centrally governing authority were not able to efficiently or effectively govern the market at the time. Leading to multiple issues.

I would like to see the evolution of Capitalism. That we do not view everything only through an economic lens- there needs to be environmental, societal and political factors which must also be taken into account.

That and personal accountability and responsibility for business practices. For example you can pollute that waterway but we will take all your profits and you go to jail for 30years

Comprehensive answer and well explained. You have thought about this at a deeper level and appreciate your viewpoint

Not sure your concerns. I think its a great take on the situation. If anyone is offended by it then they hold strong beliefs and a weak/ inflexible mindset
