Are you able to connect with others in your situation or just others from the LGBTQ community in pakistan?

How did you find lemmy? Are you active here? (In fediverse?) Just curious because I'd assume someone would go to reddit before lemmy as it has a much larger community.

Most people like trump, because "strong man". No one really even knows who JD vance or Usha are. But I guess they'd like her, they like rishi sunak. Being rich is seen as a virtue. There's also a weird obsession with seeing indians in powerful positions, some sort repressed complex.

She's fine with the racism because "she's one of the good ones". She and vance are neoliberalists, opportunists. Watch them try and make as much money as they can before they get kicked out.

I really liked this short when I saw it years ago! It got me excited for a fallout tv show/movie.

But honestly, I didn't like the new amazon TV show. The writing/dialogue felt very off and the effects, though better than in this short, felt like they were a YouTube Production.

It felt more like fallout 4/76 writing than new Vegas/1/ 2.

This isn't what you think it is. (It is)

long press the image...

It doesn't do that for me. It only brings up the menu upon clicking the three dots on the right.

I think buttons would fly in the face of the minimalist aesthetic of the app.

I think my suggestion would only make it more minimalistic.

I don't think I am explaining it right.

The current image lightbox has four buttons at the bottom - (Upvote), (comments), (share), and (menu)

My suggestion is to replace the (upvote) & (comment) buttons with a wide (download) button. Comments can still be opened with a slide up gesture and there are multiple places to upvote.

(Personal assumption) I think people rarely use the comment button and the upvote button in the lightbox itself.

Not to argue against weed, but it's actually bad for some people who have a certain genetic predisposition.

For some, it can be harmful regardless of whether they have good supervision or they need to learn how to handle the high.

It is known to exacerbate schizophrenia symptoms and hence is not recommended to people with those tendencies.

Edit: I don't remember the source, I remember this from the kurzegesagt videos on it.

Their more recent video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBRaI0ZeAf8&t=8 (This is a more recent video and is based on more concrete science. They're a lot more optimistic in this one).

I hope you are shit posting. But in case you aren't, this is satire.

You are right, it's true everywhere. It's human nature to be wary of people you don't understand. But, for some things, you'd expect countries that are a lot further ahead in progressivism to be "nicer", especially since, you know, they industrialised and became richer on the backs of poorer countries.

Though I suppose that's very difficult to quantitatively measure exactly - how progressive someone is (on the scale of a country). How more accepting they are than other countries.

But there's also room for letting people air out their issues without being told that "everyone is like this, stop whining". That's literally what the Russian goverment does, they implicitly tell their populace that democracy doesn't work and that this is the best deal they'll ever get.

That was a parody of minority report. You should check it out if you haven't.

Also if you are into anime, you should check out psychopass which covers a similar theme.

All libertarians care about is how they can make money and benefit from a situation.

They don't care others are getting fucked as long as they can have their tea.

They don't actually want a free market, they want a market where they can burrow their tendrils deep into society and suck off as much as they can.

My dreams have been shattered.

Fuck. This is true. There are no dream jobs.
