The new lemming experience

Reply in thread

Some of us are just tired of western people not wanting to get a little nuance about none western countries. And the instance you admit that ofcourse no place is perfect you get hit with. "See x is bad, communism can't work in reality." It is tiresome and eventually I end up defaulting to standard answers or blocking people if they are rude.

On top of that I do think it is amazing how for instance India, China and Vietnam has improved the lives of billions, but every single time it hit western news it is followed by "but at what price".

And finally I have realized that things are not always as they seem and the propaganda machine makes it hard to discern the reality of many things. This goes for everything. I have no clue if it actually is dangerous to go USA or it just seem that way.

Charule Kirk

Huh. I thought he won the gun debate. Too bad it took one more gun death to prove how serious he was about it. Maybe we could get send a gun with one bullet to everyone in that crowd and ask them to prove that they are as serious as Charlie Kirk.

No no, they have to look at those feed of children peeing -in detail- to protect them against pervs.

One thing I love about Lemmy is this: Every time my home countries politicians do something stupid someone on Lemmy post something US politicians have done in the same field, only dumber and more extreme. My country wants age control to protect the children. -> US put up cameras on children's toilets to protect children. etc.

And it actually helps. I just have to look at my feed and I thank our lord and savior that I am not living in the US.

Yep

Remember when we did stupid stuff out of boredom under the COVID lockdowns. Some of the sillier and more outlandish projects of the 17th century makes more sense to me now. I mean how bored must Newton have been to poke himself in the eye to make his eyelense shift. And the worst part... No Youtube to see what the other rich and bored crazies had invented. I don't miss the lockdowns, but I do miss the engineer with the squirrel feeders in his backyard.

Can marine mammals live in freshwater?

Orcas rely on the salt in the water to keep their skin healthy. If they stay too long even fresh water they will succumb to infections. Other types of dolphins seems to be able to adjust a little better to shifting amounts of salt in the water. I have no clue about the larger whales but I suspect they have problems with fresh water because they wont float as easy in it.
