I don’t care about the graffiti, I wish those ugly walls weren’t visible at all. Give me some green space

So you think they just came in and bulldozed everything? If they hadn’t done anything since then, it would look nicer

I don’t think climate change affects that neverending wind much

It just looks like ugliness is the point. Grow some fruit trees or community gardens or something so we don’t need to be surrounded by concrete and empty patches of grass.

Why would anyone not know where Moldova is. It’s next to Ukraine and they have the Russia-loving Transnistria, which I’m sure has been relevant with the war and all

I’m pretty sure that’s one of the reasons we have Protestants.

Usually there’s something wrong in their brains. Most people don’t like to screw over other people, but they do, and they think they’re so smart for finding a “loophole”.

Smoking and alcoholism are a good combination but I wouldn’t recommend it to everyone

For purely navigation, Herewego seems to work. But again, no photos, reviews or any info about a place. So for me, it won’t replace Google.

I tried CoMaps and on my first test I navigated to the airport and it says there’s no metro connection (there is metro + bus). There’s obviously no photos or reviews for anything neither.

For banks, I have 2 that only work through the app, the others I could maybe set up to use SMS instead of the app, but then I wouldn’t be able to use it when I’m traveling abroad

Lemmy isn’t social media?

I’ve tried alternatives to Maps but honestly nothing comes close.

All bank accounts I have require a phone to log in.

To search, no. But YouTube and Maps are hard to replace

I use a plugin for that:

Judging by the amount of times people said to me “why don’t you just become a freelancer?”, it must be very easy, but I don’t know where to find people who pay for unskilled work, so if you do, go for it

If you’ve seen “recommended for you” on Facebook (or recommendations on other platforms), it’s usually the dumbest shit because it drives engagement.

For the influencers, lots of visitors = potential market to peddle their piss merch, urine therapy books and recipes on YouTube

Maybe it’s a way to filter out the dumbest people around. They’re easily influenced and are a great target for advertising.

Firefox remembers my passwords. For other things, text documents stored in a Veracrypt container

A piece of land to have a garden. If it’s big enough, I could even live there

I don’t like it either but schools are exactly that, employee factories. And maybe to keep kids busy so parents can work.
