I fundamentally disagree

Fair enough, good quote (btw I'm not from US so my knoledge here is limited). Although I'm not sure what portion I agree/disagree with it, I have to think about it much more.

But I mean, even MLK understood that there's a limit, right? Like he didn't take AK47 and started to murder all the racists he saw but have chosen rather strong but non violent approach and he thought about what he was saying and what "works". And that's all I'm saying, I've never said that you cannot take a strong stance. But if you turn it to 11 and just RAGE!!! then be prepared that you might not achieve anything or even make the situation worse

I'd like to be calm but since I live in a country neighbouring Ukraine ... yeah, I'm scared

He can talk!

Good, I agree. And I still argue that the word 'privilege' isn't correct here. We want to call this 'double standard', 'unfairness', 'disadvantage', 'advantage', ... that's up to a debate. But I rest my case that this isn't a 'privilege'

To quote source of all truth - Google first page:

privilege

/ˈprɪv(ɪ)lɪdʒ/

a special right, advantage, or immunity granted or available only to a particular person or group.

"education is a right, not a privilege"

I never thought I'd witness the release of 3.0 in my lifetime

I dislike Arch btw

 

Where did you play with your friends? Where did you hang out? How did your day look like? I grew up in a small town in a small country and that's something that I always found mysterious and fascinating.

When I grew up we played soccer, hide and seek, hanging out next to a river. I was always wondering how a childhood in places like Manhattan looks like

 
 
 
 

I love Lemmy and I try to spread the info about it but almost always I face one issue - people being confused. For me (and probably you) it's hard to understand what's confusing about the way Lemmy works, I mean email works on the same principle and everyone's ok with it. It basically boils down to like 3 questions:

  • Why do I need to choose a server?
  • What is the server / instance? / Is server a subreddit?
  • Is Lemmy the same thing like Reddit?

So my idea: Could we put it as a FAQ on the join-lemmy.org? Feel free to submit best answers to these questions (I try to submit mine later when I have some time). Or come up with other frequent questions you heard

Therefore, the population in each age range will not be entirely accurate, particularly for 69+, but it nonetheless shows the trends of birth rates and popularity of these names over time.
