Whoa, I thought that just Australia was following American economics. The descent into privatisation on everything. I guess there are greedy and ignorant people everywhere. For some reason knowing Sweden is also going down the neoliberal toilet it makes me feel better and I dont know why. I guess its a feeling of inevitability.

Reminds me of John Stewart stating that to combat vested interest takes energy and effort every single day.

There are so many groups taking advantage of our overworked lives combined with the over abundance of useless information that distracts us from the real issues that impacts us. Its very difficult to know how and where to direct our energy. Of course thats my view as a social/environmental person. However, if you love the conservative/neoliberal view of the world. Then congratulations, things must seem pretty great right now.

Agree on everything, except

They do work together, just not publicly.

Looks bad when all the banks, supermarkets, insurance companies, oil and gas cartels set their own rules in mateship. So its purposely hidden, oh yes we are definitely in competition when its a duolopy/oligarchy *wink wink

You know that the shrine needs to be north. Pay attention to that fact. Is the shrine always in the same location?

To expend more energy and create more chaos in the universe.

All hail the god of entropy

Would Nomachine work?

Bhahaha

Nah, I didnt explain myself well. You arent going just to chat to attractive people. I just see plenty of organic interactions whenever I go to a concert. You def have to enjoy the music and have a good time. Any social situation can be creepy or non creepy, the individual needs social awareness to understand the difference. I dont talk to people while the music is playing but inbetween songs or sets you can simply comment that was awesome. I agree with you about festivals, downtime is good to chat and chill

Bro, go to as many concerts and gigs as you can. Take a single mate, its crazy watching how many random interactions take place.

Dont be scared to move around and chat to people. No one cares if you are trying to find a new viewing spot and its a great convo starter. I wish I went to more when I was younger.

But number 1 rule, earplugs

As someone wanting to share large files, what is your suggestion?

I appreciate this post from OP and didn’t see the last two apple privacy posts. It’s fine to highlight but its coming off a little condescending that this person tried to share content but you’ve already read a post… who cares

Yay, also means through AUKUS that we are America’s little bitch. Lets hope Taiwan stays just friends with China.

Otherwise whoops, I guess all those military bases in Australia that the Americans use will become priority targets. Next minute I’m forced to hunt CCP tunnels in Taiwan wondering if I’m gonna be Vietconged

I moved over after the Reddit API with third party apps thing. Needed to voice my opinion with action

Lemmy is great, I spend way less time with it, it’s a nicer and generally more respectful community, and I’ve learnt a lot more about computers/OSS.

I realised that all my time with Reddit wasn’t actually teaching me anything valuable. I’m now more conscious of my internet usage

Sweet, thanks

What’s the name of this game?

Also are there any good music visualisation programs out there?

I use Spotify but there doesn’t seem to be anything really good for visualisation. I know there is a third party website that I can log in through but it never really worked for me

Yeah cant believe I had to scroll this far down.

Weed is like putting a sticker over the check engine light. It hides the issue/anxiety temporarily but by doing that consistently without dealing with the underlying issues the problem only gets worse.

Something I do every work day is go to a patch of grass, put on calming music and just stare at the sky and clouds. Let your mind wander, it may bring up bad thoughts and feelings but its better to understand how your mind works. Dont look at your phone either, just disconnect and watch the world go by.

I often think about early humans and their lives. Previously our ancestors had time to reflect and process thoughts, feelings and emotions. That is lost in our technological world and our obsession with consumption and distraction.

These exposures and patterns are relatively new to the human mind. Develop behaviours that allow you to cope with the external stimulus

Guessing you’ll take a burner phone? On arrival and Dep in Aus they can demand you open it and they can search anything. If you refuse they quarantine your phone for 14 days and prob use some Israeli software to access the contents

Depends, do you like the job ? Is it worth the effort in changing the dynamic?

Noooooooo

I was so excited for another Tron movie.

You forgot to include that because of bad politics we now rely on corporations to help…

Some one has to make money to help the poor!
