To me you turning your life around sounds impressive. Despite your condition you achieved something awesome. Software developer sounds like as good a job as any. Absolutely respectable in my book. And you got plenty of time to climb the career ladder.

Also if you hang with lots of smart people and don’t think of yourself as smart, chances are you are smarter than you give yourself credit for.

As a European who grew up using only metric I like inches for crafting. It’s a good scale for the things I craft and I prefer fractions over decimals when doing quick math or measurements.

But that doesn’t mean metric shouldn’t be the standard.

Honey, pack up your stuff and get the kids. We’re moving.

Rename it to Stör Island and I might come over.

Ich dachte wir stör’n unsere maimais selbst.

You have Alpacas 😲

Gife

Who dis?

It’s among the least intimidating games I ever played. You statt super simple and progress at your own pace. At any time you have different things you can do but you’re free to focus on what you enjoy most.

Now you can optinize and rush certain rewards etc. But for the first playthrough just do whatever looks cool. It’s such a fun game.

Guess I talked myself into another playthrough.

True for me as well. After a day of peopleing having a phone call too is exalhausting. But on a day off doing a few calls is a non issue for me.

No, a real adult.

Hahaahahahahahah

Super super markets.

This guy kids.

I hate daylight savings even more since I have kids.

That’s not something you have to find out.

The kid will tell you. Over and over and over.

Now practically I agree the bow gets longer to draw on a meme relating to beef stroganoff but who gets to decide the boundary line?

I think the boundary is set in this case by the community and ultimately by the moderators. Would it be an arbitrary and very fuzzy line? Sure. Will everyone like it? No. But that’s why it is good that one can simply make their own instances and communities. But I am glad we can agree that different degrees of closeness to politics do exist and that it is possible to differentiate them. You don’t think there is value in doing so as I understand it. And I think that’s a perfectly sensible point to take.

This is why people who say ‘let’s not make it political’ are really just saying ‘I don’t want you to talk about that topic because it’s unacceptable to me and not something I want to address’ - cool thanks for expressing your opinion, next time not saying anything would be better.

I think this is why your argument goes a bit into strawman territory. Your interpretation is pure guesswork and putting words in the mouth of others without giving them the benefit of the doubt.

For me personally it is simply that I don’t want to have heavily political discussions all the time. As you can probably see from this post here I don’t mind a good discussion. Political or otherwise. Although you’d probably argue that every discussion is political.

Sometimes I just want to look at funnies and not think about the complex power dynamics of societies and the world. That doesn’t mean I never want to discuss those. But I like to have places where I can go knowing it’s not that. And I think several people here want this memes community to be such a place.

Don’t Will and Jada Smith run a scientology school for indoctrination of kids or something? I think there might be different opinions on who deserves what on this scenario.

Go to a physics professor and they’ll tell you everything is physics. Go to a math professor and they’ll tell you everything is math. Go to a philosophy professor and they’ll tell you everything is philosophical.

Not everything is about power inherently. People can and often will make almost anything about power. But it’s not inherent to the thing. But you might disagree.

However the degree to which things are political can vary greatly. Would you agree? Voting at the presidential elections is a more political act than watching birds or playing with my kids.

I think what people mean in your view’s context is that they’d like to keep memes away which directly refer to a topic which is to a high degree politicized. Instead they prefer memes which are at maximum very indirectly related to politics.

I’m sure you know that but this is my one try at a good faith discussion.

That’s a genius move as well. Nicely done.

Another symbolic act so that they can pretend they did something for the environment and don’t have to actually tackle the major problems which could cut into profits of big companies.

Also anyone got fucked over by the bottle cap spinning in the way of the pour spilling drink all over the table?
