    But I don’t know… Relying on other people take away a lot of the experience.

    I had to rely too every month on trips to buy food and I didn’t like at all that I couldn’t be self sufficient. But at least it was my money.

    Plus, the fear. Just going into town one a month was terrible. I can’t imagine him going to the camps 40 times a year. He mentions how much of a toll it took on him and I can imagine. But doing it that often? That’s a massive will to survive. I would give up. I can take what nature throws at me, but humans are unpredictable and dangerous. It would be just constant suffering and anxiety.

    That’s so cool. He did what I wanted to do. But mine only lasted 4 months before I was found.

    I can clearly understand his fear of attracting attention. And the pleasures of solitude…

    And I understand why he didn’t run again. Once you’re found, the dream is kind of shattered. The feeling of safety is gone… But his lasted a life time.

    The night when he went to a house where there was someone there must have traumatised him for weeks. Or it would have done that to me at least.

    I never thought of stealing. I don’t know if I could do that.


  • The regime lost. They went into hiding or ran away. It’s not necessary for every single person related to a group to be killed for it to lose.

    The soviet union lost. Nazis lost. The Ottoman empire lost. England, Spain, Portugal didn’t lose to an enemy but their empires died. One group is always thought as evil in western education, the other is not.

    The united states need to be properly defeated for the next winners to see the American atrocities in a proper light.

    But I would be already happy with just their empire fading away and only lies remaining in school books.

    Yup. People forget that whatever the Nazis did, we only see them in a bad way is because they lost. Their enemies are making the movies and TV series we consume to this day.

    Unless an actual enemy of the us defeats them, they will never be seen as villains. Even if they lose a lot of power but one of their allies takes over.

    England committed countless atrocities and while that is known, they are not seen as villains. They are not in power anymore but their ally is. Even Israel can be a thousand times worse than Nazis, as long as they remain in the winning group they will be forever the poor victim of antisemitism defending itself against evil.


  • That’s what I thought, but when I talk to these sick people they say they “like” the loud, horrible, scary, obnoxious sound. They do it because they feel pleasure with the sound itself.

    If it was true, they would do it even if they were alone. They would drive to the middle of nowhere to enjoy their horrible sound without other noise. But they only do it in heavily populated areas. Almost if they are really just fucking assholes wanting attention.

    What is the truth? I guess we’ll never know. I can only hope for the law to be changed.

    But unlike you, I wish no harm to the machines. Only to the drivers. Machines are useful tools, even if loud. The drivers should lose the right to drive. If you remove their tool they will find another one to misuse.

    The drivers are the problems, the criminals. Not the tool they use to commit crime.

    Before I started posting on Lemmy I didn’t know this was for monetising. I thought it was internet etiquette and I did the same. I thought people found it rude, like here you can’t say retard, for instance.

    You see that everywhere and you don’t know why, so you start following it too. I’m happy some people complained when I did it. I feel like I’ve lost a burden.

    I wonder how many people do that as well not knowing it’s meant to please corporations.


  • Why the down votes?

    A company removed your freedom, their founder even famously saying that consumer don’t know what they want but apple does, knowingly give up all their rights to a corporation when there are alternatives, declare that they trust the corporation, accept when the corporation forbids them from giving anyone else money, and now they are going to cry when the corporation fucks them? Like it did several times in the past and yet they remained loyal?

    Apple users are insane… The only reason to use android is because it’s the only current viable alternative to apple. But they use their stuff out of some weird masochistic choice, and then cries when their daddy beats them.

    They 100% deserve what they got while they keep rewarding apple for their evil behaviour.

    And if I ever give Google money, I 100% deserve to get fucked while using it too. And it would be stupid to expect anything else.


  • It’s not the reliability of the sources. It’s the obsession. Even the website you complain about have non Chinese content. But you are 100% constant anti China posts.

    China does a lot of bad stuff. Every country does. But why do you obsess with them so much?

    I would really like to know. Because with no explanation it either looks like you’re being paid by an enemy of China like the US or that something bad happened to you and you need to seek help because you got some deep trauma.

    I don’t think Lemmy is big enough for the US to pay someone to do propaganda. So it looks really odd.



  • That loud cars not only exist, but there are actually more of them than in 3rd world countries. That it’s a “culture” here, and people actually use their excess money to make cars louder, bigger and more dangerous to everyone else (not the driver, he pays extra for his safety).

    Coming from a 3rd world country to Australia it was one of my biggest disappointments. I thought we had loud cars because we we’re “uncivilised” or didn’t have the money to fix them. I was so wrong…

    There are many others, but I guess this was the biggest illusion I had about first world countries.

    On the other hand, I’d pay extra to not give those cunts and their israeli buddies a cent. But it’s almost impossible now. I call the hotel and they say “make a booking through booking.com (or one of its thousands of sites)”

    Before I would hang up and look for another one, but I realise now that the cancer has taken total control.

    Airbnb, Amazon, this shit… Only someone insane would refuse to bend to our benevolent overlords, and I am still insane, putting up a fight I already lost.

    I think it’s just internet impression.

    Being gay is soooo much easier today. I would say we reached the utopia, because I don’t hide and yet my life doesn’t seem different than straight people.

    The screaming ones one both sides, the “everyone must know I’m gay” and the “no one should be allowed to show they are gay” are the minority, but they sure are loud. And internet is their megaphone.

    But that depends on the country of course. I’m sure gays in Saudi Arabia are not happy.


  • It always annoyed me so much that gay was a personality type like goth or nerd or jock, in US media.

    Yeah. Same. The dream was to just be normal. That liking guys is the same as liking girls. You can be a femboy gay, or a macho yanktank straight, or the other way around. But it’s not anymore simply who you like that catches people attention.

    You can simply be gay, and that is just one detail of your life. Not a whole fight anymore.
