They have a “no go” zone in the city where I live. I went there. It is nice. The people are poor by Swedish standards but if you’re not from here you would not bat an eye. The only way you believe this is if you have never been to Sweden, or at least not a “no go” zone and/or you get all your news from racist right wing fuckwits who desperately try to convince you that Arabs are destroying European society.

OP Sweden is nice, even Stockholm and Gothenburg, just a bit expensive

Agree 100%. I don’t think the people you were arguing with really want to engage on these points, their entire position only applies in the voting booth. They’re right, in pure Biden vs Trump there is only one reasonable choice. I just wouldn’t gamble so hard on the population being reasonable, otherwise Trump would have never won in 2016 either.

When the genocide started? Gosh yeah you’re right what a mystery

They are avoiding the question.

I think since the scales are tipped in republicans’ favour (e.g. losing popular vote but winning presidency always goes one way - Trump, Bush), not voting likely benefits them over the dems. Depending on your state of course.

No worries. Mistakes happen. I won’t be a prick about it.

But not anti Biden. Anti genocide. I can see why you might get those two confused, lol

Thank you for putting this so well.

Never mind. I made a mistake trying to follow the thread.

Well if you’re going around making up what people are saying then you’re doing a pretty horrifically bad job of having a conversation.

Where did I defend third party votes? NOWHERE

Because this comment chain stems from my reply? Not complicated. But yes my apologies for getting the wrong idea.

I cared the whole time.

Honestly as someone who isn’t American, this is more important to me than economic policy or whatever. I want Biden to win, Trump winning would be awful for everyone, basically worldwide. But most of all I want the kids to stop dying. I really don’t think this is so unreasonable.

Trump won’t be convinced. Biden might be. And this “less important” issue could still cost him swing states. I think maybe not supporting a genocide could be a vote winner.

But if someone criticises the “meh,” this is somehow an issue with the person and not the “meh”?

This one guy posts several times every single day about the war and often lays it all at Biden’s feet. If he’s paid, Putin or whoever it is truly does get their money’s worth with so many posts and comments essentially indirectly supporting trump.

Are you talking about me? Do you seriously think someone pays me to post rather than me just being a person who is horrified about what’s happening?

Just because it’s been happening for a while doesn’t make it right.

Why was Rafah a red line until all of a sudden it wasn’t? Because he knows it’s morally wrong and will lead to a lot of death but is too much of a coward to stand up for what he believes.

The Trumpists are ecstatic how easy it was to flip these morons.

I would never vote Trump. “Morons” for having criticism of a president supplying weapons that have killed over 10k children?

These centrist democrats are ecstatic how a substantial number of their voters have no standards whatsoever and will defend anything as long as it keeps Trump out.

Downvote all you want. If you can’t criticise Biden for this you’re a piece of shit

Obviously it wasn’t as big an issue until October 7th. I did care, just not as much was happening

cough supporting a genocide cough

Until then he was doing great yeah. Bit of a big one though.

And before you hit me with the usual I know Trump would be worse for Gaza but it doesn’t change what Biden has done

Elden Ring! I think they really refined the formula, made it a bit more user friendly (I started with Dark Souls and it wasn’t easy to know what to do), and is generally fun to play. Also the open world format means you can just go somewhere else if you’re stuck, not just have to bang your head against the same boss over and over. Then you just come back when you’re stronger.

Sekiro is not a bad option too, it’s a bit more like a regular game than the others. You can pause! Imagine.

I haven’t played DS2 or Demon Souls though

I think r/InternationalNews was mainly created as a place to discuss issues free from the rampant Zionism of r/WorldNews.

Happy to have people on Lemmy but I have to say, Lemmy as a whole seems way more anti-Israel than reddit right now. Although to be fair outside of r/WorldNews and a few other places, the general mood does seem to be shifting away from Israel pretty hard.

For me this is nice to see, because fuck Israel right to hell, but you’ll certainly see the same type of content here. I like that if people don’t like it they can make their own community or even an instance, and also that people are generally more free to disagree here (partially due to lax moderation I guess). You should have never been banned for that comment by the sound of it, absolutely stupid.

I would say albums as an art form overall. Yes of course some bands and musicians will still write an album in this way, but music has been playlist-ified to the point where most people won’t listen to it like that. You take a song or two from it and forget the rest exist. My perception is that it’s been a dying thing for some time now.

I also pick off my favourite songs from most albums, to be fair. But there are some albums that are best viewed as a single piece of art and I feel like that understanding from both listeners and artists is dying. If you just listen to Money and Breathe (In the Air) when they show up in your shuffle, are you really listening to Dark Side of the Moon?

Would help to have more details on the math. I would say try for the W but take the L. If you could do it with the formulas can’t you just remember a few important ones? If you only need to pass it might be enough to carry you through.

Imagine you hid a bit of paper successfully (seems difficult on it’s own but anyway): how do you check it? There will surely be people watching so you can’t go digging around in your shoe.

If you get caught cheating, there is a 0% chance you pass. If you try, the chance is higher than 0.

I don’t know the details but I’m sure there’s some other way around this where you won’t be totally fucked if it doesn’t go well
