FridaySteve@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•You play a game where you have to memorize a random passphrase and recite it the next day for $1000, game repeats each day but with +1word and +$1000 prize; How many days can you continue this?6·5 days agoI can’t even remember the title of this post.
I know I am. Spooky, huh?
I think people use that word to mean immature. Childish implies that a behavior is age-inappropriate, but also implies that the behavior would be appropriate for a child, which is often not true. Immature is a better word to use when someone is doing behaviors that indicate their brain development hasn’t caught up with their life situation.

Same experience here, and when I traveled as an immigrant, everyone was always very cordial and welcoming to me (which is more than I can say for the immigrant experience in America). I was in Brazil during Bolsonaro and found many lefties who appreciated the acknowledgement that they were still there working hard despite their country’s leadership (one of them got murdered by his father over politics). I was in Chile during the student riots under Pinera too and was welcomed by the leftists in the street throwing bottle bombs and the cops in riot gear with water cannons. The average person everywhere is involved in a continuous global struggle for human rights, education, economic equity, etc, and they recognize your empathy no matter what flavor of billionaire is currently running the country.
FridaySteve@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What 3 good and bad things do you see happening in the world in the next 12 months?8·10 days agoTô the good, a lot of governments are pushing through regulations on AI usage and development, clean energy developments including wave energy will come to fruition, and economic shifts in what countries do business with each other could mean more development in Africa and South America.
To the bad, food insecurity will become a more exigent problem as basic needs get more expensive, global armed conflicts are escalating, and more folks will be injured through lack of regulation.
Any local who can’t separate you from the corrupt billionaires who run your country isn’t worth your time no matter where you are. Anyone who would lie to another person about where they’re from because they can’t separate themselves from the corrupt billionaires who run their country isn’t worth my time no matter where you’re from.
But I highly encourage everyone to ask “Okay, but is that a Swedish mile, nautical mile, Roman mile, or Chinese mile?” whenever miles comes up with Americans.
I find it tedious when someone pretends not to understand a conversation just to make some academic point, don’t you?
The image in the OP literally says “British: hey guys, we developed a thing called the metric sy-” so your argument is with the creator…
Who told you there was anything at all you could do in your life that there wouldn’t be something better than you at? Why do you let that stop you from doing anything?
You’ve already asserted that everything is politics whether I like it or not, including this conversation, and since I don’t get involved in “prove me wrong” political conversations on the internet I’ll just exit.
You’ve already asserted that there are no valid answers to that question. Why did you bother asking?
And this is what I mean. Everything is very much not politics but if you politicize everything then by definition it becomes so. People need to stop doing that.
People need something else to focus on. When everything is politics then politics is everything and it’s stupidly difficult to get people interested in doing anything positive.
FridaySteve@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•When rich people can edit their kids DNA won't that just lock everyone else out and create a new class?15·12 days agoThis already happens with social factors that affect physical development like access to nutrition and a permanent place to live.
A lot of people are downvoting this because a 19 year old is an adult who can make their own choices and you are insinuating that there’s something so objectively wrong with dating an older person that it should be illegal.
So I went back to seeing myself as unimportant
If that’s how you see yourself, imagine what people think when they don’t even know you and meet you for the first time. Focus on what you have to offer other people, not what other people have that you want.
It’s the most cultivated fruit in the world. “Is your method superior??” Get outta here. If you’re bored and want to see people argue, try reddit.
