I mean it’s just copy and paste boilerplate and has nothing to do with the problem so I think it’s pretty accurate…

Those testimonials are hilarious, I love that kind of self-deprecating humor (or the confidence to stand up to critics).
Both were a thing in discussions many years ago. That’s why they became a meme.
But since then it’s basically only used ironically because people quickly noticed they’re a meme.
A community does not exist by itself. It is formed by its members, and if new members join, the community changes.
Old members might not like that (» eternal september), but “don’t force it into something that it’s not” is simply not the way this works…
That really sounds absurd. Both the idea itself and the fact that they somehow screwed up the execution of such a simple thing that much.
Yeah, it’s a common fallacy in appliance brand discussions: “my grandma has a <brand> and it still works! You should buy one, too!”. First of all it’s survivorship bias and almost always the quality has degraded a lot in the past decades (greed and consumers that don’t want to pay the price for reliable appliances).
Thanks for the insight! I just hope that Porto and Lisbon don’t turn into another Paris or Rome…
It really is sad. For more than 25 years I’ve been visiting Portugal (so yes, I’m part of the problem…) and every year it gets a bit worse: endless new hotels destroying the beautiful views of the cliffs, villages mostly catering the needs of tourists, …
I just wish I hadn’t told everyone how amazing it is in Portugal 🥲
Geht mir genauso. Ich verstehe die Kritik nicht: dem Verein werden drei klischeehaft “deutsche” Eigenschaften zugeschrieben, die zwar generell positiv aufzufassen sind, aber in der Realität längst nicht Standard sind bei Vereinen in Deutschland. Man kann natürlich immer versuchen, Aussagen maximal negativ zu interpretieren, aber so ist es in diesem Fall wohl kaum gemeint…
I understand the issues with waterbeds, but for pillows I really don’t see the trouble: You don’t have to heat them or otherwise maintain them, except changing the water every few years, which is done in 3 minutes: unscrew, old water in the sink, new water in from the tap, close it up again.
Me too! Kind of astonished that nobody else even mentions them. I remember them being pretty hyped about a decade ago and I am still happy with my second water pillow so far.
Zu Ärzten mit schlechter Google-Bewertung [wegen zweitrangigen Kriterien] gehen.
Ist jetzt natürlich nur ein einzelner Datenpunkt, aber ich habe unlängst einen Termin am nächsten Tag (!) bei einem Facharzt in der Großstadt bekommen. Vermutlich, weil dessen Google-Bewertung irgendwo zwischen 2 und 3 Sternen gedümpelt ist - aber eben nur, weil er ein unfreundlicher, ungehobelter und unsensibler Mensch ist. Die Behandlung war auf technischer Ebene einwandfrei und auf den ruppigen Umgangston konnte ich mich ja vorher einstellen…
It’s so annoying, really. I’d call myself pretty left-leaning (especially compared to the US political spectrum), but there are just so many inflammatory posts on Lemmy that exaggerate just for the sake of it, making anything but a circle jerk impossible.
The headline of this post leaves not much to do except hating the EBU because apparently they are actively trying to suppress any support for Palestine - except they aren’t. It’s the same rules as every year and nothing really changed. We could discuss if this is a good policy or if the ESC should be more political or whatever. But headlines like this kill any nuance.
So war es doch schon seit Menschengedenken: Die Feddit-Admins findet man in Matrix, die Matrix-Admins erreicht man auf Mastodon, die Mastodon-Admins sind auf Tiktok, …
Yeah this thread is full of people not getting a simple joke…
