  • Well, 172 nations on Earth see it like this:

    Israel is a friendly state in hostile neighbourhood…

    Hamas and Hisbollah are terrorist organisations.

    Or least they were. Nowadays we better speak in past tense about them. This bites you, doesn’t it?

    I’d rather take my ban in some hate-spreader Community with pride when justice in the real world rules over terrorism.






  • In my whole life I never bought digital audio or video content on vinyl, VHS, CD, DVD, Blueray. Never ever. It sounds as weird to me like paying for air to breath.

    But one day I visited a live concert of a small band which I loved as a teenager. After the show I met with their drummer, gave him €200 cash and said “You know, when I was young you were cool about kids copying your music without paying. You told us if we like you music we can enjoy it. And if we can afford it, we can pay you. Back then I couldn’t. Today I can.”

    And so I paid them five times as much as I saved back then by copying their music.


  • In 2021 I wrote a story “The Typo which saved humanity” on Reddit and it exploded to 3000 upvotes in less than a day. A couple of years later I wrote a story “Day of the Fat Man” which got 50 upvotes. Everybody I ask considered the second one the better one.

    Then I reposted those stories on Youtube and Facebook and both got around the same upvotes, around 5k+ on each.

    Yes, Reddit has become quite dead.

    But to be honest, my stories on Lemmy got like 50 upvotes so… meh.
