Greek also.

Can’t tell you how strongly I disagree. It feels like the first people on Lemmy are the most insufferable know-it-all and holier-than-thou types from Reddit. Say anything about Microsoft or Windows? Here’s 15 commenters telling you how much better they are for having Linux, and 2 commenters on topic, only to be called inferior by the Linux users. Same for Photoshop, same for social media, same for any paid software.

And everyone who has an opinion must insult anyone who disagrees like it’s political Twitter, only by people who think they’re smarter cause they were never on Twitter.

Lemmy is so toxic it’s delaying its development. People lurk cause there are too many assholes talking over everyone else.

The only thing that’s better is there are less of those “um ahcktually”, pedant types. If you say “everyone”, people mostly understand you don’t literally mean “everyone.”

According to local reports, the bomb contained almost no explosive material, caused no damage to anything, exploded at 01:40 and was placed 30m from the embassy. The people arrested were 17-21 years old. Sounds more like barely adult assholes blowing up what was effectively a firecracker in an act of self-perceived protest. It is definitely not a terrorist attack.

I think a lot of people hear Red Light District and visualise a neighborhood of a few blocks… It’s literally a 500m stretch of a canal and a a few tiny alleys, mostly on one side. It is very close to the main train station (literally across the street from one end of the station, but, to be clear to any Americans, the station is mall-sized), but that’s the whole thing. It’s filled with curious tourists so much that you can’t really walk because of the foot traffic. It’s… underwhelming. It’s the kind of place you go to, spend half an hour walking a block back and forth because of the traffic, say “that’s it?” and go do something more interesting.

It can be interpreted as sarcasm, as in “tell me more, I could care even less.”
