In addition to this not really being a showerthought, this post is not really a shitpost either

I am a guy from southern germany. I like scouting, trains and computers. Politically, I would consider myself as a democratic socialist.
(For anyone wondering, yes this is from the same guy, as !DeckPacker@piefed.blahaj.zone)

29·7 days agoWhat I found much more interesting than the new subscription, was all their weird obsessive behaviours the author described, which seem to almost normalized in her mind.
Like memorizing all the followers of your ex and checking regularly if they have new ones, to see if they have a new relationship. Or checking, if your exes look at your stories.
I am very glad, I am not involved with social media (and most of my friends as well), because it seems to exadurate your worst impulses in a way, that I would have never thought could be normalized in our society.

13·10 days agoNah, people were always spied on. The internet actually made it possible (if you know what you are doing) to communicate safely under authoritarian regimes or if you are under investigation by the government, even across borders.
That was not really feasible in the Soviet Union etc.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Any other Windows or Mac users here?English
161·24 days agoEy, it’s fine to use Windows, no need to insult Linux people though.
You can do some really cool shit with Linux, when it comes to ricing etc. You don’t have to like it, but it can be a really cool hobby.
I agree in principle, but sales taxes are a bad idea, because they are regressive. That means, because poor people spend a larger proportion if their income, their income is taxed (through sales taxes) at a higher rate than the income of more wealthy people.
What would actually be a better idea is to have a higher income tax for the higher tax brackets, but also tax wealth and inheritance much more, that would be things like stocks, real estate etc, which the wealthy use to borrow against to avoid taxes (because they don’t pay taxes on the borrowed money).
I actually think tomorrow comes in 1 day, might be wrong thozgh

They aren’t nearly as unsafe as people think they are and I think they are completely fine.
BUT it still doesn’t make sense to build them, because renewables (especially solar) is so much cheaper, so we should focus all our energy on expanding that instead of nuclear.
