You only like to read the headlines of anything posted don’t you…

I know it takes a bit of extra time but why don’t you give reading the whole thing a try. Could help make or break your point

Hey no problem with having an opinion I just can’t stand people online spewing hyperbolic divisive type stuff, we already get enough of it from every corner of the internet

And sorry that you think having a discussion online is confrontational bullshit maybe you are just being too sensitive

I actually do agree with some of the stuff you are saying which is the funny part, the world is seeing a tilt towards far right/populist types but there is no need to fire up the bullshit with exaggerated statements

Why do you think places like Lampedusa want their borders closed you had an influx of migrants that was more than the total population of the island that’s not sustainable so it’s not just a “Italy bad” scenario

I find it funny that you talk of rhetoric from the media and then go right ahead and do it yourself, fair enough on how you should have phrased it but then you still stay on the same line… there are those out there smarter than me that have seen this coming

Seen what coming? Possible closing of borders? Limiting immigration? Forced immigration from climate change? Rise in populist politicians?

Straight from the Canadian Government website

• In the 2023–2025 Immigration Levels Plan, Canada aims to welcome from 410,000 to 505,000 new permanent residents in 2023, from 430,000 to 542,500 in 2024 and from 442,500 to 550,000 in 2025. These targets are incremental record highs for Canada and reflect the government’s belief that newcomers are instrumental in driving economic growth and building our communities. Achieving these levels will also mean reuniting more families and protecting democratic and human rights on a larger scale than ever before.*

So once again you are saying Canada is talking about immigration what are you even trying to say? You are pushing your narrative

The internet has helped make everyone a fucking expert with no expertise

lol what counties are starting to close their borders? Only countries that have closed borders have had them for a while Korea, Armenia/Turkey/Azerbaijan and Columbia/Venezuela

You straight up just made this shit up… speaking of rhetoric

I’m always amazed at the amount of international political scholars that are on Lemmy

Fuck that, nothing wrong with being downvoted to shit, it’s your opinion some people may not like it but so what, plus internet points don’t mean anything

I can’t stand Trump but I also can’t stand people who don’t shut up about him either, some people make talking about Trump part of their personality and it’s on both sides… but in this case the way the person framed their comment makes sense

This isn’t even boomer shit this is someone who has no idea what funny is, this is more at the 8 yr old humor level

So you took all this time to find an article that you liked and this is what proves that it shouldn’t be called a disorder? It’s some guys blog…

Find something in a peer reviewed journal and then maybe you will have something of substance

I too haven’t plugged my phone in to transfer anything since the 6s, obviously there are people who do like yourself and Apple limiting transfer speeds is ridiculous but the majority of people are basically using the cable for charging, I don’t have data to prove it but anecdotally I’d bet I’m right

They shouldn’t have capped the speeds but I highly doubt this will be an issue that the average person cares about

I’m sure he was told… But brain exploding emoji

This comment would have really benefitted from some punctuation

Ya that’s dumb asf, especially if it’s just to charge the phone which the majority of people only need it for that.

Problem solved, I have usb c to lightning adaptor too anyone needs to borrow my cable to charge I can use it and so can they

Having a disorder isn’t offensive at all, you seeing it that way is your own problem, it’s a word, we use words to describe things, if something deviates from the norm then it’s a disorder, no one chooses to have a disorder and having a disorder doesn’t make you any less of a human. You are getting hung up on a word and you personally don’t like the word is all this is.

You saying this place smacks of brigading is also funny, once again just because other people don’t automatically agree with you doesn’t mean there is something going on… it could just mean people disagree with you. Not like the actual instance matters but I’m from the same one as you…

You disagree with me, I don’t think you are “brigading” or trolling I just think you have a different opinion

Just got around to replying and I’ll use this as my reply to you and Cryo…

If an individual person (not a group of people in case that’s not obvious enough) makes statements like all the black people I know are criminals, all the Jewish people I’ve ever met only care about money, every woman I’ve ever dealt with is emotional, boomer doctors aren’t dead yet and haven’t learned anything since the 1970s

Then yes in general I kinda think that tells me all I need to know about that person, they are using blanket statements about groups of people which is pretty idiotic, they later said they were being hyperbolic, okay fine still a dumb statement however

Except every single person on this planet feels differently than others do we aren’t a mass lump of sameness, being different doesn’t automatically mean you aren’t normal or have a condition, which is the entire purpose of adding labels to things especially in relation to needing it for any type of medical care or assistance of some kind.

If you personally don’t require a diagnosis or label then good for you, you don’t want or need the label of autistic so you don’t need a diagnosis so you are arguing for what exactly? The ability to self diagnose yourself with a label you don’t even want?

I re-read the replies I made and anyone else that replied and I don’t see anyone being not nice, people can disagree with your opinions that doesn’t make them unkind, if you get upset that others disagree with your viewpoint don’t worry about it just move on with your day

Me disagreeing with you didn’t deny you your own self experience, just like you disagreeing with me didn’t deny me anything either

I had to look up sealioning since I had no idea what it meant, no I’m not, and since you decided to frame your question that way maybe you just need a thicker skin, you engaged me in the convo, not everyone is going to automatically agree with you in life

So you personally had a bad run in and you did believe in them but no longer do… okay I guess you are right then may as well invalidate the entire profession cuz schmorpel got bad service… that is some flat earth type reasoning

Reading the guardian article I was like meh… some stuff is good and anything is better than nothing but then I read the actual DMA

“Fines: of up to 10% of the company’s total worldwide annual turnover, or up to 20% in the event of repeated infringements

Periodic penalty payments: of up to 5% of the average daily turnover

Remedies: In case of systematic infringements of the DMA obligations by gatekeepers, additional remedies may be imposed on the gatekeepers after a market investigation. Such remedies will need to be proportionate to the offence committed. If necessary and as a last resort option, non-financial remedies can be imposed. These can include behavioural and structural remedies, e.g. the divestiture of (parts of) a business.”

Fuck ya break up some of these fuckers if they keep breaking the rules and percentages of worldwide turnover? I can only get so errect

Even though this is EU based, if they actually follow through with the fines and possible breaking companies up I can’t see why the companies would not just make this a worldwide standard… I could be wrong of course cuz corporations are shit

Enshitification will continue until morale improves

It needs to be dumbed down for his audience
