  • Its called the European way!

  • Looking at all the things that make German hard to learn (e.g. 4 grammatical cases for 3 genders, tons of irregular verbs, different pre- and suffixes for the same meaning...), I don't get the joke "haha look at that long word".

    They're perfectly readable unless you skip on learning your vocabulary. So what you're saying is you haven't been doing your homework.

    Nahrungsmittelunverträglichkeit:

    • Nahrung - sustenance
    • Mittel - resource or means
    • Nahrungsmittel - means of sustenance, foodstuffs (the s ist just a connector without meaning)
    • un - negating prefix, as in English
    • verträglich - tolerable, agreeable, so "unverträglich" = intolerable
    • keit - a suffix making a noun out of the preceding adjective, so "intolerable" > intolerance

  • I could do that, and I may most likely will. I would be more enthusiastic about it however if I had actually personally encountered the issues as criticized.

    The users I interact with are normal people, the political differences I encounter are usually about the sensibility or implementation of certain policies, not about whether a genocide is happening in Gaza (which I find is undisputed, just to make my position clear).

    What I HAVE seen (in real life) is people being unsure about whether (or how) to speak out against the Israeli war machine because they are afraid of being branded racists, but that's a German problem due to our history and people conflating anti-zionism with antisemitism, not one specific to the instance.

  • We had a fantastic time, thanks. It was small but it was good to see the neighborhood come together against the fascists.

  • This just makes me sad. So I have to decide now - enjoy the fantastic comms on db0 or to have access to the biggest community of my region and language but not both?

    I just wanted a nice, enjoyable thing to do and engage with after reddit, practice my French, have a laugh about some innocent memes, and have some interesting interactions with like-minded people, but now I'm marked as a Nazi and Zionist just because of the instance I chose to create an account on?

    It honestly hurts to read all that vitriol. To be thrown into the same pot as people I despise the most. I just came back from a protest against the AfD a few weeks ago, for heaven's sake, and now I'm considered a Nazi myself.

    Maybe I need to disengage from Lemmy, too.

  • That wouldn't be my conclusion, no.

    But, well, I may have "gone on a word salad", if you say so. It made sense to me.

    I don't understand the aggressiveness, though.

  • Conservatives want to oppress

    I don't think it's that simple. I don't think that most conservatives want to do that, per se, they don't have the desire to oppress others.

    But as far as I can remember from a YouTube series from some years ago, the conservative world view is a very hierarchical one in which everyone has their place. So to conserve the "natural order" some people (especially that pesky lower class, or the homeless, or those LGBT+ people, or women... Take your pick) need to be kept in check.

    Oppression is a means to do that. It's a tool, and it's useful to get people in line, and to restore that kind of order gives a feeling of superiority and satisfaction in a "everything is back in its place" kind of way.

    So yes, if that's their mindset, I also agree that they truly believe that they're having their rights taken away, i. e. their right to preserve the hierarchy.

  • Wie geht's euch eigentlich mit all dem Wahnsinn gerade?

  • Ich finde das nicht naiv, sondern konsequent, weil man sich ja schützen will. Ich vermeide auch zurzeit Nachrichten und verschiedene Communities, weil ich sonst selber diese Stimmung entwickle und ausstrahle.

    Ich glaube manchmal, dass wir mit all dem drohenden Unheil übersehen, dass nicht alles davon, nicht alles gleich heftig und nicht alles zur gleichen Zeit passieren wird.

    Und nur, weil ich meine Plattitüden so mag: Natürlich gibt es ein Morgen. Und dann noch eins. Und noch eins. Und wie heute auch werden wir im Morgen aufwachen und das Heute leben, das uns unser Gestern beschert hat.

  • Ich übe mich in Resilienz, in lächelndem Gleichmut und Achtsamkeit. Es ist mir nicht egal, was passiert, aber ich muss genau hinsehen, was mich erreicht und was ich selbst bewirken kann. Die Unzufriedenheit über Dinge, die ich nicht ändern kann, schadet mir.

    Inspiriert vom Gedicht "there's laundry to do and a genocide to stop": Ich werde nicht die großen Probleme unserer Zeit lösen (können), sofern ich nicht mein Leben vollständig umwerfe - und das wird nicht ohne dramatische Einflüsse passieren.

    Ich muss also lernen, dass ich mache was ich kann, und dass dennoch Dinge nicht in meiner Macht liegen.

    Daher meditiere ich, übe mich im Freuen an meinen Hobbies und meiner Familie, engagiere mich in einer gemeinnützigen Organisation, lege öfter mal das Handy ganz weit weg und hole mir mein "Erspartes" von den grauen Herren zurück, indem ich mich ab und zu mal von der Langeweile einnehmen und die Dinge ihre Zeit dauern lasse.

    Ich glaube: Ich versuche, in dem bisschen Zeit, die mir bleibt, für "meine Menschen" und mich selbst der beste Mensch zu sein, anstatt der für andere am wenigsten belastende Mensch. Die Welt wird nicht besser davon, dass ich nervös und wütend und zynisch bin - aber meine Welt wird es, wenn ich meinen Weg in Ruhe gehe.

    Das schaffe ich zwar nicht oft, aber es wird.

    Schritt, Atemzug, Besenstrich.

  • […] und wie sieht euer Beitragszähler so aus?

    Jessas. Dieser dahingeworfene Halbsatz hat mich auf eine mentale Odysee heute Abend gezwungen. Ich wünschte, ich könnte dir vorwerfen, dass du mich damit dazu zwingst, dass ich mein Zutun in diesem Leben mit Zahlen verbinde. Ich kann mich aber nicht ansatzweise mit deinen Beiträgen messen. Das hat mich wütend gemacht und das wollte ich dir vorwerfen.

    Aber ich kann nicht. Ich möchte dich ablehnen, allein wegen deines Namens (mal ehrlich, JENS) und weil du von oben auf mich herabblickst.

    Und dann höre ich dieses schiefe Klavier* und fühle mich wie dieses Instrument, das gegen Schreien und Lachen und Geschirrklappern angeht und nicht hierhin gehört und nicht da sein sollte und schon lange von niemandem mehr beachtet wird, bis irgendwer, WEISS GOTT WER, weiß, dass aus diesem kaputten Ding noch etwas zu holen ist, was irgendjemanden auch nur ein kleines bisschen fröhlich macht. Ein Jemand, der sich ein amüsiertes Schnaufen nicht verkneifen kann, wenn auf einmal doch eine Geschichte entsteht.

    Und dann wünsche ich mir, dass es mehr Menschen gibt, die andere dazu ermutigen wollen, mehr von ihrem Wissen zu teilen, mehr zu machen mit den verstimmen Klavieren, mehr nachzusehen, mehr auszuprobieren, mehr zu lächeln, wenn das Richtige aus dem Schiefen kommt.

    Tut mir leid. Ich brauchte heute Abend jemanden als Publikum. Offenbar gehörst du heute dazu.

  • Not who you responded to.

    It's like saying you need and app in order to use Instagram

    That's exactly what your Instagram app is: An application to use the Instagram "service". The only difference is that the app is developed by the same people who develop the Instagram service.

    it needs to be an integrated app

    In some cases, an app is even just another design of the same web page you visit with your browser. The Netflix app you have on your Windows PC is just the web page wrapped in a certain way so that it looks like a program you find on your computer.

    That list up there are what you call "integrated apps".

  • I listen to Bach's "Weihnachtsoratorium"/Christmas Oratorio (BWV 248) every year. I play it specifically on December 24th when my kids, my wife and I do the decorations. I don't even like the Christmas Oratorio that much. But at least my wife knows why I excuse myself at times.

    When I was little, on the evening of Dec 24th, we used do decorate the Christmas tree and my parents were adamant on playing the Christmas Oratorio at full volume when we did so. None of us are/were religious in any way, quite the contrary, but both of them were huge classical music fans. Especially my father used to be a massive Bach fanboy.

    As a child who grew up learning to sing and to play several instruments, I hated this thing of theirs with a passion. I couldn't stand this music genre. It was so far removed from what I liked and what life entailed for me; it was the sound of getting me the fuck away from home. I couldn't deny it was a part of me, but it was a part that I despised.

    Then, when I was in my early 20s, my Dad came down with aggressive cancer. After his last Christmas, we tried one last therapy which the doctors admitted was kind of experimental because the medication hadn't been tried on patients with cancer of that type or that far advanced.

    We don't know what exactly happened. But this dear man, who had collected several dozen CDs of his favorite versions of Bach's pieces, who had been searching and saving for rare editions just to get all the "right" recordings, he suddenly… didn't understand his favorite music. And if you know baroque music - it takes some understanding to fully appreciate it.

    He just didn't get it anymore. Something in his brain got rewired during those last few months. "They're playing it wrong!" he shouted angrily. It didn't matter that this was the same CD he had listened to for ten years. My sister tried singing folk songs with him - which he used to enjoy - and while he himself sang pitch-perfect, he was perfectly sure that "nothing was right". Have you ever seen a bed-ridden person go beserk? He winced when he turned, but he was infuriated. Eventually, we all gave up. There was no saving his love for music, it just… up and left him. One of the things which used to define him as a person was simply gone. All joy for any of it, evaporated, poof, without a trace. Cancer finally broke him, broke us. We buried him a few weeks later.

    This one, minuscule, thing that he had saved to enjoy when he was old… he couldn't. A part of what my father was, in the matter of a few days, just vanished. There was little left for and left of him. I can't blame him for leaving before saying goodbye.

    But I will never forgive the god I had never believed in for taking that last bit of joy away from a dying man.

    TIL: Young Men Ages 18–29 are Turning Right-Wing and Women of the Same Age Turning Left-Wing

  • one side is saying how shit you are and how you deserve nothing. it's only women who are worthwhile and you should just fuck off and die.

    Except this is a right-wing talking point and a misrepresentation of what left-wing ideals encompass.

    the other side is saying 'do this and you'll be successful', it sucks right now but you will get there if you try.

    Except that's not what they communicate, because while they offer "solutions" (mostly towards a rather suppressive and overly strict understanding of gender stereotypes) they immediately find in and shift the blame for young men's problems towards an out-group, such as the "radical left" and LTBGQ people.

    In fact, I find it's the right that actively hates me for just being me because I don't conform to their idea of what a man is, even though I'm a cis-hetero white male.

    "Don't try to find your own way because this is what you need to be, and everything else is degenerate and shameful."

    I know which I find more appealing.
