The world is pretty fucked up, it always has been and so it will continue to be.
And none of it really matters either, it's all just a tiny flash of light in the darkness that will soon fade away to nothing.
However, here we are, living in a beautiful planet that was blessed with life, so many different plants and animals, sounds, smells and tastes, music and art, being able to talk with others, laugh, cry, love. We're only microscopic creatures that live on the tiniest spec of dust imaginable, but to our tiny eyes there is plenty of beauty to be found. And for as long as we are able to see that beauty, there is a point to it for us, we can try our best to enjoy what we have for the little time that we have it, before we finally become one with the universe.

This aligns very well with my own philosophy about life, you couldn't have said it better!

That's some exceptional mental gymnastics right there, keep thinking like that and you'll go far

Both this and 'you are my sunshine' just instantly flip an emotional switch for me, I don't know why they make me want to cry but they just do

I'll believe it when I see it, but if it does happen then I hope this is just the beginning of brighter days for the LGBT+ community in Greece

This is why critical thinking is such an essential skill. So many people out there are convinced about things with bullshit arguments, just because the person talking is charismatic/confident or popular and influential.
Note: Critically thinking doesn't mean denying everyone and everything and holding controversial beliefs in order to feel smarter than others, it often starts with admitting your very own mistakes first. Just like with other's arguments you should be applying the same checks to your own thinking and notice your own fallacies to correct them.

I certainly hope so, but one side (which I won't name because I think it's obvious enough) doesn't seem content with just living their lives, they want to force themselves on the lives of others as well so that the whole country will be just as shitty as they are and then they won't have to feel so bad about it.

They don't though, otherwise there would be no need for a justice system altogether. There are "people" out there that have wet dreams of lgbt people being incriminated and women having less rights than men, the rest of society should be protected from them instead of putting them in government positions.

That's kinda like saying, "If someone pulls a knife on me in the street and asks for my wallet, nothing will happen because killing is illegal".
Google owns both Chrome and your password manager, at any time they are perfectly capable of pulling the plug on them, leaking data, charging you for them, etc.

People say that the devs are extreme left, though I haven't seen anything extreme first hand, simply being communist is a very valid opinion but I guess there's more to it. Besides politics, the project is very nice and promising, and I've had very useful feedback from the devs while trying to make a pull request for a new feature.

The one you sent seems a bit much for my use, but from what I see there are surely better backpacks out there than the one I use, it's worth it to make some research there. It probably makes more sense to go to physical stores and try them out with my laptop and keyboard so I see what they're really like.

We don't leave things here, it's an open office and we sit on different desks every time. It would very likely be stolen :P
Right now I use a DURGOD Taurus which I love (Cherry brown switches), and I take it back and forth from work every day I work at the office. Unfortunately though it's getting quite heavy for me to carry so often, and I'm a bit worried about its effect on my back. The laptop bag I use has some pretty good support, so I'm not sure if a better bag would solve the problem. Are there any travel keyboards that are super light but also have good mechanical switches? As a programmer I need the function keys, the arrows and the keys that are usually above them (Home, Insert etc). I couldn't care less about the numpad.
Was listening to Hatebreeder this morning and I remembered how devastating it is that I'll never get to see them live :( I hope Alexi is shredding away in heaven

I seriously hope that they won't be able to while they're warmongering in the east and keep on abusing the Greek borders to the west and claim that Greek lands belong to them. If they stop their bully behavior and play nice with their neighbors then I'll be glad to welcome them and keep history in the past.
What are some kbin or Lemmy alternatives to common Reddit subs? I'll certainly miss r/unexpected, r/guitarlearning, r/damnthatsinteresting, r/historymemes and many more Hopefully this can turn into a useful thread for everyone looking to replace Reddit with a close enough experience, and maybe even a better one once it gains traction Here are some I have found: * m/TodayILearned * m/showerthoughts * m/mechanicalkeyboards * Memes@lemmy.ml * Gaming@beehaw.org * Programmer Humor@lemmy.ml * Rust Programming@lemmy.ml * Technology@beehaw.org
