It is common in the middle east, with some leeway. Like if someone is sitting diagonal to you such that your foot isn’t directly facing them, it’s okay. Unless its a professional meeting, then having your foot up is just disrespectful, but I imagine that goes for most countries.
Alright, so you don’t acknowledge the problem, still fits the definition.
I’d hate for our discussion to be about semantics, but I’m saying that we don’t believe in the problem. If I’d say “Hey, regarding the vampire situation, you have your head in the sand, because you won’t acknowledge the problem”, it wouldn’t be an accurate statement, or correct usage of the phrase.
unwilling to recognize or acknowledge a problem or situation
I’m not saying that we are unwilling to recognize a problem, the problem itself is greatly exaggerated, or even non-existent.
Yeah I agree. I’m mostly talking about what you’ll find on Twitter and big subreddits.
I’m almost the same as OP, but I wouldn’t call it “head in the sand”. For the past few years, the media has been exaggerating everything and creating mass hysteria. If you follow the news closely, you’ll think the world is about to end: Wars, economical depressions, climate changes, new pandemics, etc…
Stop following the news, and you won’t notice a thing. Probably the price increases, but other than that, your life is the same.
It’s been a while since I used Jerboa. Will give it a try. Thanks to all contributers.
When you reach the point of dehumanizing an entire population, you should stop and think about the amount of shit the media has filled your head with.
If you’re still having issues with apps, try wefwef.app. I have no complaints since I started using it.
Though if Twitter goes under, I’m sure Facebook will have a hard time explaining why they aren’t a monopoly. That has been taken seriously before.
I mean sure posts about Reddit makes us seem like the bitter ex, but they are to be expected, since it’s the only thing all Lemmy users have in common: Being ex-Redditors. It will stop naturally with time.
I was waiting for Lemmy is Fun, but honestly, wefwef.app is just amazing, I don’t really care anymore.
RiF still works, but without logging in. NSFW used to work up until yesterday. A couple of third-party apps still have complete access as well.
Be the change you want to see in the world. Be active on !godot@lemmy.ml, and more people will hopefully come.
I agree, but that is very subjective, don’t you think? I’m interested for example in the post that said Trump is suing Twitter. I won’t waste time reading the article most probably, but the news is amusing nonetheless. So what decides whether something is interesting enough to the whole globe or not?
Imho, as long as the title isn’t clickbaity, its okay. We shouldn’t reach a stage where “Trump should be impeached” is an acceptable headline, like /r/politics
Wow, you need to chill.
This isn’t kink shaming. No one has a “kink” to cum in a sock.
He is not denying that they are building settlemens. He just doesn’t consider it occupation. Anything for more donors, I suppose.
