Someone said to me once “if you really wanted to do X, you would have done it”.

Your post reminded me of that, because many people might really want to be rich, but they don’t become rich because it’s a difficult thing to achieve. So maybe wanting something isn’t enough. Maybe you need luck or other advantages on your side too.

I’m not sure if he’s claiming that Brexit is the reason for EU troubles, but I dunno because I haven’t listened to the full interview (which is here, but I think you need to be in the UK to listen to it)

Maybe he’s referring to the political troubles in Germany and France - the governments of both countries have collapsed recently

Personally I would like to be able to talk to people with different views, in a civil manner. But Lemmy.ml doesn’t seem to want that. If you post something that they don’t like (even if it’s a very moderate view and is expressed in a completely civil way) then they ban you. They seem to really hate moderate people.

People thought the first Trump presidency was a politically divided time, but maybe we’re now entering an even more divided time, given that social media is now fragmenting along political lines, more prominently than it did before.

What are your thoughts on this?

Women in China’s “re-education” camps for Uighurs have been systematically raped, sexually abused, and tortured, according to detailed new accounts obtained by the BBC.

In the past young adults probably would have stayed living near their family, so they could see them easily.

Ethernet is obviously better but running ethernet around your home can be a pain in the arse

And there’s the soldered RAM and storage, and glued-in or screwed-in battery…
