as in a phrase from a video game:

“Hey you, you’re finally awake”

Far East Movement were visionaries!

depending on your skills and what you’re looking for quite okay tbh

I get that! And it’s not really about creating enemies. More of a digital utopia where we see what’s the better option

yeah they rather “Skeet” it

I’m sure his penpal Putin will tell him he’s not

Jack Dorsey being one of the founders certainly has something to do with that, from a UX and UI point of view. Other than that, I don’t think is accidental. Also could be some marketing in place and certain “influencers” - of all sorts - pushing the platform online

I use Alexandrite on my laptop and really like it

I was an hour ago, but now I’m back at my desk scrolling through Lemmy and Mastodon while following cycling (Volta ao Algarve) on my laptop. Social media manager sure is one hell of a job. I think I’ll get another coffee

there’s a certain orange guy overseas doing things that might make this “Army of Europe” a necessity. and why not? I’m pro EU. when we work together on all levels, we can be a strong force. and that includes military.

l’union fait la force!

Politics and social media both have a major impact on your life. Imo it’s impossible to disconnect (pun intended) them from each other. Social media is basically the 21st century version of the town square. People talk about politics, that’s just how it is

And doing what you can is still better than doing nothing!

oh, valid… but stay strong! we’ll all get through it one way or another

This is the most positive take I’ve read on this topic so far. I hope it’s true and it’s all more circus than it seems, but it’s scary tho

From what I read online and see in the news here, Canada seems to have a “ow yeah, bring it on, we’ll kick your ass” mentality (might sound cooler than I intended but hey, maybe it really is like that!)

there is no force that could stop us

… yet! I have some hope in the EU becoming stronger together and try to do something against it. I don’t know what, but something…

They just made my gender illegal to put on a passport

So TECHNICALLY they can’t do you harm either… No passport no way of punishing you (I know they can, but I’m just trying to lighten the mood a little bit. Humor as coping mechanism and all that)

I really believe this hole situation is a big opportunity to strengthen our ties within the EU and create a strong bond. And I hope so as well… The German elections this Sunday will be important

Ooof I can imagine. Canada or Mexico?

You get used to it when you live here, trust me. Only once a week, as is tradition!
