That is just... Insane. Incredibly sad.

For me personally I’d like a 50-60 square meter apartment for no more than 2x my annual income. And I’d like to be able to get a loan with a monthly down payment equal to whatever I’ve been paying in rent for the last couple of years.

I can pay 12500 NOK a month in rent, but for some reason the bank can’t trust me to pay the same amount if I were to buy an apartment? Fuck that.

Feeling "deeply concerned" seems like the extent of what the opposition in the US are capable of right now. Such a bummer to see this as a European, whatever happens in the US affects us as well, yet we have no voting rights.

It doesn't really make sense for Canada to be a member of the EU simply because Canada isn't in Europe. What we could do is grant Canada a deal similar to what Norway has now. We're one of four members of EFTA, which are part of the EEA without being EU members.

I must admit that my knowledge of Canada is shallow at best but my impression is that its overall values align well with western European democracies.

That is seriously dystopian. Wow, what the fuck..

Took you long enough. We’ve put our lives in the hands of the US for too long, it’s made Europe complacent and now we’re so far behind. We could be equal to or greater than both the US and China, but if we’re honest we have a long way to go.

Oh, I think I got one of those. It's that girl with the bong, right?

Unless I know the other person has the same intent to respectfully listen and try to understand rather than argue I won’t engage in any sort of political discussion. Polarizing opinions have been completely normalized online and it’s literally ruining society.

This race should hopefully restore some confidence to both Leclerc and Hamilton. I doubt they can challenge the championship, but we'll see how McLaren measures up to the rest in Spain and moving forward from there.

That's really interesting. I doubt a comment like this would be allowed to remain on Reddit, which is a shame because it naturally would reach a lot more people.

In addition to the blanket tariffs already announced? Seriously I think that guy might be an evil alien supervillain or something. He seems to be doing his best to ruin the world in any way he can.

The government should find a way to protect the local economy from the influx of tourists that own property in Spain.

I really hope Norris doesn't sail into a P2 because of a possible penalty for Russell.

Don't be sorry for him! Alpine is clearly moving forward, and with Gasly as their number one driver. 6th or 7th doesn't matter much when they were at the very back of the grid not long ago.

I got temp banned today because I replied to someone and said that using ivermectin would probably kill them.

I’m done, so fucking done.

I've been on 11 since before it was officially released. Honestly never had any issues with it, but I'm interested in hearing what sort of issues anyone else might have had? Are we talking about privacy concerns, bugs or performance issues?

Hey, I’ve seen that episode of Black Mirror!

I love talking with people with a different perspective, and I love playing the devils advocate to try to understand other points of view better. As you said, if it’s just going to become a fight it’s completely meaningless.

I had no idea about all of that. I really learned something today! Already really like Lemmy and the Fediverse, I feel like most people here put some extra thought and effort into their posts and comments. I've used Reddit since I was 18 and it used to be the same, but as its popularity grew I guess the "wrong" kind of people started joining and participating. I think that's bound to happen with anything that gets really big. I've described some social justice movements the same way, where you had people who genuinely cared in the beginning but eventually as the movement becomes a trend the values and sentiments gets simpler, dumber and eventually unrecognizable from what the initial goal was.

By the way I think there's a little birthday cake next to my username because I created the user today lol.

Seeing the way things have been going in different countries the last couple of years have given me a newfound gratitude for the country I live in. Even our most right wing party is left wing by any international standard.
