I think I know which country they are talking about. I wouldn’t call it over capacity, but at capacity which still means metro every 3 minutes and every train is full. The experience of so many hundreds of people moving in and out can definitely be overwhelming. Combined with the noise, the heat in the summer and the smell, even if it’s on the better side of the scale world wide is still far from ideal.

I listened to his stuff today in the car because of this post. He has like 2 bangers and a lot of good beats that get overused and super repetitive. It’s on the edge of boring most of the time for me.

Who else should push artistic expression if not artists. People need to try shit out to make this world more that just a dreary existence. His mask is fascinating and people are talking about it and that’s ok.

I was like who’s this guy and opened up his songs. The track Opr is in Cyberpunk 2077 and I love it so I guess I’m a Gesundheit fan now. His mask also reminds me of Lizzy Wizzy, which is cool.

Ah, my bad. Didn’t realize this is Ubisoft Montreal specifically.

I’m pretty sure France is one of those places where it is indeed.

Not sure if I’m over-explaining this or not, but when you go to Google and you search something you say you googled, so this person went to duckduckgo and searched something and they changed the tense of the verb to come up with duck-duck-went.

I think my supposed judgment of others would not motivate them to lie to me or themselves if they had no guilt to go with it.

When food comes up the subject comes up and some people have a more guilt driven reaction to the topic. My impression is that they feel bad about knowing about the animal abuse and environmental damage, but not having the personal resolve to do something about it. They feel guilty and probably feel like I would be judging them so they make up these scenarios to feel less bad about the whole thing.

Right, fair, it’s just not on any android app manager, you have to deal with it manually which is not great.

It’s not on play store. You have to side load it.

On the one hand I approve of this strategy, on the other hand there are so many people that lie to me and themselves that they only eat animal products rarely or only from the most local grass fed farmer and then you spend time with them and you see they always choose the meat option, every single opportunity and since its the cheap corner restaurant that pece of meat has never seen grass in its’ life. It’s disheartening.

I’m talking about using a piece of software, no idea how you arrived to murder from that. People on this platform also have many opinions on TikTok without ever trying it. Feels like they are talking out of their ass whenever they mention it.

Isn’t that the same case for Facebook, Instagram, x-twitter?

Tbh I learned a lot about other cultures through tiktok and recently the US have proven that no matter how much chest pounding about freedom they do, they can be just as authoritarian as any other, even ignoring the invasion of other countries, literally murdering their citizens in the streets and abusing women and minorities, so the app being owned by a Chinese company was not really as big of an issue as others have made it out to be.

Now that ownership has changed, there’s an active suppression of american sensitive topics on the platform, so that’s already a visible downgrade.

I wish someone more neutral could offer a real alternative that people would jump on.

You made assumptions about my social media use that are wrong. I don’t interract with them because I don’t like the way they are run and the data they gather will for sure be used against me. I interact with the fediverse because it doesn’t start from a point of abuse, but it can very clearly be abused and I would honestly prefer that this particular information would not be available in any way since it is the most frictionless but also the most potentially exposing way you interact with this platform.

So in a niche community we are now promoting that people don’t interact with said community if they care about their privacy at all?

This is just ridiculous.
