No, that’s cooler than being cool

Huh, thanks. TIL

Did that Romulan steal the bird of prey from a Klingon or something?

I assume most don’t end up in Russia but in richer EU countries. Those cars are repaired and made presentable again in some backyard mechanic shop in Georgia and the Baltics, then thrown on the used car market.

Ohh yeah, life goes on. Long after the thrill of living is gone.

Bleurgh!

Soulsborne type games

Games feeling like a chore and force me to ‘get good’ in order to enjoy them? Miss me with that shit, or at least pay me for it.

Online games

Same as above, plus annoying people who take the whole thing too seriously.

They are just ahead of the curve! Big business will soon join them. Invest in Lemmy now!

I have to disagree.

At first, I was super excited for a new Groening show, but Disenchantment left me disappointed after the first few episodes.

Not sure if my expectations were too great, but the show just feels rushed and lacks depth. I gave up somewhere around the middle of season three.

R Kelly approves

Oh please, those kids can be five year olds at best, and I refuse to believe otherwise.

For something more exotic, I would like to buy the ability to travel back in time.

Other than that, proficiency / mastery of musical instruments and coding or hacking abilities.

‘Crickets’ is the best Americans can hope for, to be fair.

South Korea will now only send weapons that maim and terrify.

Now you are just misinterpreting my points and starting to sound silly.

Refugees and migrants are two different groups. Migrants are long term residents. Refugees are not.

The fact that it is common does not mean it is a good practice.

IF there was decent AI translation, the whole issue would not be existant, would it?

I am quite happy to be able to discuss with you in a foreign language, without the help of AI. It means I am independent, which is a kind of freedom that, to me, belongs to feeling human.

Whilst I agree with some of your points, the notion that Europe “may be bad at migration” and being “shit” to others whilst protecting their culture comes of as uninformed at best and holier than thou preachy at worst.

No one is under the illusion that a migrant has to speak perfectly. But they should be competent enough to function in order to integrate into the society.

I have plenty of experience in my social circle where this is not the case. Those people rely on friends and family when it comes to simple tasks such as doctor appointments.

Concerning the language issue, it does not matter that a language is “globally niche”.

If people want to migrate to a specific country long term, the spoken language has to be learned to become a member of society and prevent the forming of parallel societies.
