Because in this example, it is. If the subjective statement read “To me, it feels too hot in here”, it would be equally correct.
Subjective statements themselves are not the issue, they become problematic when treated as objective truths.

and OP didn’t credit it 👀


Ich denke Pessimismus wird es erst wenn Du die Einstellung entwickelst dass das nicht nur so ist, sondern sich auch nicht ändern lässt.
Zu behaupten es gäbe keine korrupten Politiker, und dass politische Entscheidungen nur auf Grundlage von Fakten und ausschließlich zum Wohle der Bevölkerung getroffen würden, wäre hingegen nicht optimistisch, sondern naiv.


Ich schätze mal als ich angefangen hab in meiner eigenen Wohnung meinen eigenen Haushalt mit meinem selbst verdienten Geld zu schmeißen.


One thing I have always found weird about the US is how veterans are treated as heroes by default. In Germany if I learn someone is a veteran my most likely response would be something along the lines of “sorry to hear that”, not “thank you for your service”.


Bullshit divisions like this in the political left are why the right keeps winning.


What do you mean with “home”? I have the following feeds: “Subscribed”, “Local”, “All”.
If your “otherness” neither bothers/harms you nor the people around you, there is no need to treat it.


I have sometimes wondered: instead of elections, what if we could register a vote, which we could change any time? This might not have been feasible with paper ballots, but in an age of increasing digitalization, this should work.
I do see the downside though that most coalitions would only last a couple of months as majorities shift.
Another idea: A website where people can directly vote on issues, no representatives needed.
It’s too soon to call him your boyfriend but not too soon to move in together?


Der Titel ist irreführend.
Zitat aus dem Artikel:
Produkte, die anstelle von Kakao auf beispielsweise Choviva als Alternative setzen, dürfen nicht als Schokolade bezeichnet werden. Die EU-Lebensmittelinformationsverordnung (LMIV) schreibt vor, dass Verbraucher durch Angaben auf Lebensmitteln nicht getäuscht werden dürfen. Das gilt besonders für die Zusammensetzung der Produkte. Entsprechend müssen solche Waren als “kakaofreie Schokoladen-Alternative” gekennzeichnet sein.
Reuters is still reporting on the epstein files, so what’s wrong?


To answer this question, it is important to understand how oil is used.
As a Fuel. Oil holds a lot of energy which can be released by burning it. It is certainly possible to use other power sources (renewable energy, nuclear energy, coal etc.) It is also possible to produce biofuels, which apparently (for now) takes more effort than extracting oil from the ground and producing fuel from that.
For extracting chemicals. Many things are actually produced from chemicals extracted from oil, such as plastics. Some of these chemicals may be produced or extracted in other ways, others may not.


I don’t see the issue here. AP doesn’t obscure Israel’s involvement. They simply state the facts, which are that Israel announced an attack, and then an attack followed.
Propaganda would be omitting or inventing information.
I don’t think this is specific to lemmy. We generally like to hear people agree with us, and social media allows us to a) find spaces with like-minded people b) block people we don’t like from interacting with us
We put ourselves into echo chambers where our assumptions and opinions are never challenged. You might talk about people with different opinions, but rarely to them. Live in that environment long enough, and you stop to question your convictions, and become increasingly incapable of articulating why you hold them, or to consider the perspective of ‘the opponent’.
There are two ways of handling security vulnerabilities.
One is to try and find them before the “bad guys” do, then fix them. The other is to do nothing and just hope the “bad guys” don’t find them (or have already found them and are already exploiting them)
Moving to a different country isn’t quite that easy, it usually requires some money and a job in the country you want to move to.
Also, even if you hate your government, you still might have a social circle that you don’t want to leave behind, or maybe responsibilities within your family you cannot just abandon.
One thing I like about having human friends is the shared human experience. No AI could replace that.
You mean an apprenticeship?
