I’m pretty sure that’s one of the reasons we have Protestants.

Usually there’s something wrong in their brains. Most people don’t like to screw over other people, but they do, and they think they’re so smart for finding a “loophole”.

For purely navigation, Herewego seems to work. But again, no photos, reviews or any info about a place. So for me, it won’t replace Google.

I tried CoMaps and on my first test I navigated to the airport and it says there’s no metro connection (there is metro + bus). There’s obviously no photos or reviews for anything neither.

For banks, I have 2 that only work through the app, the others I could maybe set up to use SMS instead of the app, but then I wouldn’t be able to use it when I’m traveling abroad

Lemmy isn’t social media?

I’ve tried alternatives to Maps but honestly nothing comes close.

All bank accounts I have require a phone to log in.

To search, no. But YouTube and Maps are hard to replace

I use a plugin for that:

If you’ve seen “recommended for you” on Facebook (or recommendations on other platforms), it’s usually the dumbest shit because it drives engagement.

For the influencers, lots of visitors = potential market to peddle their piss merch, urine therapy books and recipes on YouTube

Maybe it’s a way to filter out the dumbest people around. They’re easily influenced and are a great target for advertising.

I can only speak from experience but basically what I wrote. Teacher gives kids something to do, we all wait in silence for slowest kid to finish, zone out a bit during the teacher’s monologues and go home at some point. I don’t know what relevance friends have since there’s barely any moment you’re allowed to interact during school hours

Somehow my teachers were obsessed with silence. Stealing, bullying, breaking shit, nobody cares. Whispering to your neighbor though: the worst crime you could commit.

Our 15-minute break was mostly trying to avoid the bullies.

On YouTube there’s the algorithm. Watch one video and yeah half the recommendations are right wing trash and pseudosience but there may be something good somewhere.

On Peertube, discovering new things is practically impossible. Also, half the videos I tried didn’t even play.

In open for suggestions though

1.Finish some simple, dumb task

2.Stare out of the window

3.Go home

4. Repeat numerous times

Then some adult asks “how was school?”

“Fine, I guess”… What do they think happens at school?

When you look like you’re not from there, you’ll be approached by dealers all the time. Just walk around in a touristy area and they’ll buzz around you, “hey, psst, hash, weed, cocaine?” Just don’t cross the border with it

Pronouns getting weird, especially when and is added, like “for him and I” or “her and I’s house”.

Also excetera for etcetera and mischievious for mischievous

My first smartphone, Orange SPV, was also released in 2002, and, by the looks of it, was a bit more technically advanced https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_SPV

I know when my upstairs neighbor has passed through the building because I can follow her scent all the way, it even lingers outside sometimes.
