The collapse of the U.S. just makes the rat race feel even more real for everyone.

There is already a large amount of qualified graduates across various fields from India and China. Now we’re adding a third sizable country’s worth of graduates to that.

She didn’t deserve that, and these glasses are so problematic. Too problematic for society, just like so much of the AI products being introduced.

Yes some of the glasses are supposed to have lights, but if you search online you can find plenty of ways to cover or conceal them.

Also myself and my significant other wear prescription glasses that have a similar shape to these. At what point do we have to start being anxious about people starting to slug anyone wearing glasses out of paranoid concerns for their privacy?

I don’t want to deal with any of this. We live in such a dystopian world.

It’s inevitable. No one should trust the U.S. right now, and countries should be attempting to strengthen relations with each other to deal with the fallout that is bound to occur.

Don’t have much to say besides treat yourself as much as you like and be kind to yourself, you do most definitely deserve it.

Wash trading at its finest.

I upvote a lot, but I don’t always comment as much as I should. I often find that I may or may not have anything particularly new to add to the comments.

As Daily Dot points out, people are even selling stickers for this specific purpose.

From what I’ve heard the glasses have become popular among university students, and they’ve become yet another issue that has to be looked out for there.

The amount of precautions that have to be taken during exam time at universities keeps increasing. The testing rooms these days sound like they’re locked down as tightly as a jail.

:3

Not particularly.

There was so much to deal with back then. So many different rule sets to follow, so many differences in each community, so many sign-up and on-boarding processes for posting or contributing each.

I miss the internet itself from that time period, and I realize that there is a certain community feel that is missing due to how congregated the current internet is, but I still don’t really miss forums specifically all that much.

It’s not so black and white. It really depends. There needs to be communication between both parties.

It’s perfectly fine if one person says, “I can’t do this. I can’t go through with this.” Asking someone to stay by you until you die, or to carry the burden of your disability or sickness is a lot. If there’s a conversation held about it and one person wants out then it’s fine.

One person simply leaving the moment it’s announced is a bit much though, especially if they decide to come back. As someone else said, it’s called having tact.

I can’t tell if he’s enjoying himself or not.

I always find it funny when you have couples dressing up for Halloween and you can tell who came up with the idea. One person will be really, really into it, and the other is just there for the ride.

Yeah the cultists that voted him in who are starting to realize what is really unfolding in our country can’t believe it. “It can’t really be him, he loves us, he cares for us! It must be a fake!”

Thank you for my restoring my faith in xiv players on lemmy. Just about lost it when I saw people ypyt on here.

where exactly is random based on the birth rate (if a region has a higher birth rate it is more likely that you are born there)

Even if this wasn’t included I was already thinking of this. A, C and I all seem like they have rather good odds at putting you somewhere in Africa.

Nah, it’s too late for that. Other leaders are starting learn this too. You keep giving in so Trump asks for more, and then more. Nothing will ever be enough for him.

This is no longer about swallowing your pride and appealing to his enormous ego.

It doesn’t really generate activity. Basically any platform would prefer to have more comments to generate activity, which in some cases moves content across various algorithms, but also makes the platform look well active and involved. Having an active looking platform can make others want to sign up and join. I’m sure there’s potentially other reasons.

That said, I think it’s fine to lurk and should be promoted more. Sometimes it’s better to spend time focusing on articulating your thoughts and writing your posts than it is just writing more posts overall, and sometimes there isn’t much to add to a topic.

Right, and the puppet in charge will be rather obvious. The only other candidate that would win in a fair Ukrainian election is even more aggressive about opposing Russia than Zelenskyy, but since this is going to be rigged neither of those will win.

(for those curious: the Ukrainian constitution prohibits electing a president during war, it’s especially hard with 20% of the country under hostile control; and regarding Zelensky’s rating, it’s about 70% currently)

A lot of Ukrainians have also fled the country, it makes no sense to organize this before ending the war. Why do we have to have this discussion? They are at war, marshal law is common during times of war to keep your country unified during these periods. Not everyone is fortunate enough to have vast oceans between them and their adversaries to allow for elections of their highest office to continue uninterrupted.

Nah that wasn’t my intention. It’s true that they’re similar, but I’ve mostly been watching American politics.

I really hope Europe starts making some moves.

From the moment he won the election until now we’ve seen a lot of world leaders attempting to make nice with him and appease him. It should be clear now that he cannot be appeased nor will his ego ever be satisfied. He is going to take and take and take until other countries start telling him no and laying out boundaries that they’re willing to strictly enforce if need be.
