I made an account on lemmy.world and use Boost for Lemmy since it’s exactly the same as Boost for Reddit and it’s pretty awesome. I paid for the app, one time purchase, no subscription but you can launch the rocket to support the dev.

If you want to store your map preferences, save the preferences to your account and make sure you’re logged in.

I’m not saying anything like this is preferable or whatever but there’s also little sense in removing all semblance of user experience in favour of removing power from tech giants.

I understand the why of this but this is not an improvement. I suppose search engines should ask you which maps provider you want and then show results based on that.

Yeah I’m from the Netherlands, that’s what I meant. Basshunter made several more tracks, which I all downloaded through Kazaa when I was like 12. DoTa was one, the Counter Strike one was another but there were about 10. In the Netherlands, Boten Anna was the only one to ever get played on the radio.

It wasn’t, just the Boten Anna one which was then spoofed by the Gebroeders Ko.

I kinda liked his Counter Strike one as well.

I’ll assume you mean parents because you’d have to be one heck of an inventor

For anyone seriously considering this: how the fuck did you end up with that kind of money in your early twenties? Either you’re business savvy in which case you won’t consider this or daddy’s rich in which case you should talk to your dad first.

S&P takes the 500 most profitable companies in the US and builds an index off of that. S&P usually goes about 7% return but markets are very bullish on AI. It’s similar to the dotcom bubble so definitely not without risk.

Currently nvidia is driving the S&P up but nvidia might crash one day like cisco did back then.

Strategy wise it’s good to mention that you approach this as a savings thing so you deposit, say, monthly. That way you compound your interest and that can really ramp up quickly.

S&P 500 is pretty solid.

Just here to note that the name Wild Geerters is a spoof of Geert Wilders, the leader of the Dutch far right party PVV.

It’s all gonna be AI generated so it’s a just different enough mashup of Clooney and Carrey called Georm Clarrey.

It’s about how this guy gets hired to write an original screenplay and he’s got no idea what to write about so he thinks of something meta and writes it in a comment on Lemmy

My world view may be a bit bleak but here goes:

In my opinion people who are comfortable will do anything to retain the status quo. Since patriarchal figures have pretty much dominated society for thousands of years, a strong feminine counterpart with a clear definition of personality traits and positive influences will upset the balance they have created.

So what I’m saying is: the ones that are assigning all kinds of negativity to femininity are the ones who suffer from its uprising.

To me personally, this is mostly noticeable through the way the world around me expects me to behave and treats me accordingly. For your context: I am a straight white male from the 90s from western Europe. We are more or less trained to surpress anything to do with sentiment, empathy, sympathy and just generally putting the needs of others before your own.

Like I stated before, this is rooted so deeply into our society that you are the odd one out if you don’t conform. It wasn’t until I went to college that I was exposed to different ways of thinking and realized that there was nothing wrong with me, it was just society’s way of attempting to maintain its status quo by reprogramming me from the get-go.

So what can we do? Well I think change is already happening but it will take a lot of time. The only thing we as individuals can do is identify toxic patterns and attempt to empathize more with people whose views and, indeed, entire world differs from our own.

Taking it metaphorically the whole course of my life currently is killing me softly. I’ve got very little to complain about my life but I am just completely lost where I am even going and it is dragging me into depression. I’m getting help from both my employer and by my own looking for it but it’ll take time. Working through issues is hard though.

I wish you all the strength with your heart issues and hope it never rears its head again!

Another one is the movie ‘The Fountain’ which is played excellently by Hugh Jackman.

I’ve been watching Shrinking and it has a lot of those moments

One of the most important companies in the world, yeah right
