For me it was Jeff Kinney. I was meeting a different author I love, but there wasn't enough room downstairs and we had to go up. Turns out that's exactly where Jeff Kinney works! He's the author who got me into reading so I thought that was so cool

I met Prime Minister of Economics and Innovation of Lithuania, Aušrinė Armonaitė, back in the days she was just a politician. She tries to be very tactical and friendly person (as most politicians do). Nevertheless, she is one of the most hated politicians right now, probably.

What happened that made her hated?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

She is hated mostly by the traditionalists. She proposes decriminalisation (NB: not legalisation) of soft drugs and same-sex partnerships for LGBT. Some have become angry as much that I know people who put all the blame from their life into her party.

I would be happy if I could describe the detailed info but I don't want to break Rule 2 of this community and put Lemmy on fire.

Ha, no problem, thanks for the explanation! Makes sense!
