Have you donated to KDE? Have you contributed to its development? Cause you sure as hell didn’t pay for it so maybe shut up or be a little more grateful that a free and open DE is only a few features away from a competitor developed by billion dollar companies
Of course the PTSD folks went through it. Though I am arguing with you I want to make it clear I meant zero disrespect or antagonization for anyone who lived through that as part of the expelling force. I was there as a citizen. My point was that your comment made it seem as if Kuwait has been a hot zone in between those times and I got upset and perhaps reacted poorly.
There’s fucking nothing traumatic happening in Kuwait right now. Or in that last 20 years for that matter. Get your head out of your ass. What is this bullshit pulling on your heartstrings fearmongering nonsense comment. “She’s been to Kuwait already” dumbass I’ve been to all the bases in Kuwait multiple times it’s chill. They train and they have a taco bell. It’s admin HQ for operations nearby
Well that only works because pizza is a 2 dimensional food

They actually seem to be quite educated on the topic. Unlike yourself who seems to think that you’d have authority to speak on this issue because you have a certain passport? It’s really not that wild. I moved here as a first generation immigrant about 10 years ago & I pretty much concur what they are saying. Irish and American Italians in Boston and NJ respectively feel that they have more in common with their ‘home’ countrymen than fellow Americans, just one example. Personally I think there’s also an aspect of “oh I’m not just white, I’m actually 1/8 Irish”. Mind you that’s not what I think at all, why would I have a bias against you if you are white? But it’s almost like I’m asked to view them as more than “white American” when people tell me that stuff after I tell them where I’m from. You can imagine what their answers typically were when I asked about whether they often go back to visit family/home or foods they cook. It’s just ancestry, they have no actual ties to those lands.
One thing I will say though is that whenever I’d talk about this kind of thing is that people get weirdly defensive about it. Overall I learned just to let them say what they want to say, it’s not worth my energy trying to understand their mental gymnastics as to why they’re actually as Irish as I am Egyptian. They’re not ready or willing to have that conversation.
Come on dude it’s a white centric thing to make them feel more ethnic. No one else does this, even in the US. What you’re describing is locality pride so someone should be proud to be from a certain state. Not claiming relation/influence from a European country. Immigrants in the US are the first to want to call themselves American while racists refuse to accept that while saying they’re Irish or whatever the fuck.
Reply to some of these comments big guy cmon
That is exactly what they’re doing buddy
Also keep in mind we use a credit system that’s tied to so many important loan related necessities. If you don’t open credit cards and get into debt and pay it back regularly you won’t be able to finance/get a loan for a car or a house.
Predatory business practices, lack of willpower, consumer culture, inflation
Why would you rather see that over graphene? Don’t know enough about either
Lol bakhshish in Arabic means bribe
Are you like a boomer that can’t understand you’re not talking to the same person with every comment? You know lemmy is the whole forum, not a user you’re replying to right?
And yet, you pay for her priviledge
??? dude who you talking to?
Nobody’s hating Jews. We all say fuck netanyahus Israel and people like you say “hey you can’t be antisemitic” and very intentionally never fucking acknowledge the difference exactly as you are doing you damn hypocrite
Today, I feel misinformed
I mean you’re criticizing a piece of free software like they made it just for you. Grow up and have some perspective
