“The younger generation recognizes 100+ Pokémon but almost no domestic bird. “

Yeah, most birds don’t spout their own name constantly though. Imagine a dove yelling “Dove! Dove!” while shitting on your head.

All feeds on all platforms are skewed right if not even extreme right since years.

You have to block (far) right channels on YouTube to not get their crap videos suggested again and again.

Add to that the brain frying effect of short clip after short clip on IG, YT and TikTok you get those right wing zombies.

We should really ban all of these platforms in the EU - including Xitter, FB. Allow only fully open space products hosted in Europe.

I think this works better when the numbers are not equal:

There are a thousand reasons to move out of California but there are a million reasons to not go to Texas.

TikTok is cancer regardless of who owns it.

War das letzte mal ausprobieren vor 10 Jahren?

According to Wikipedia it was an actual fear that homosexuality is contagious. That belief is probably alive and well amongst idiots.

I always thought it to be more akin to hydrophobia instead of arachnophobia - as in fat reacting to water. Now I think that is to take as fat is neither attacking water nor is it insane.

I disagree with tax & rent being lumped together. I have no problem with my (high) tax rate as it supports education, infrastructure, etc. The outrageously inflated rent goes to the same guy that stole 95% of your pizza in the first place.

I love to hate on Americans (in a friendly way) as much as the next European, however American tourists aren’t that bad. This level of stupid assholery is 99% Chinese tourists, the missing 1% is Russians. No hate for Chinese, Russians, anyone that can behave themselves though- they probably hate their fellow citizens more that anyone of us ever could.

Well, it says “i’m speechless” not “i’m lost for words”. 😀
