Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why has the Argentinian economy gone to shit?English
52·2 months agoJavier Milei might have something to do with it.
There are so many, but the first song that came to my mind is “Dogman” by King’s X. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYx50Y5hkKA
So heavy and massive sound, the vocal harmonies are a cherry on top. King’s X is among the world’s most underrated bands, even though many thought it invented grunge.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are your views on homeschooling?English
2·3 months agoIf parents have pedagogic experience in teaching, understand the possible downsides and how to mitigate them, then I can understand homeschooling. Otherwise I’d recommend normal schooling.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is your opinion on Libertarianism?English
13·6 months agoI don’t think libertarianism works, it relies naively on how the free market is omnipotent, how freedom is everything and how having a small government is somehow good. There are no countries that are entirely libertarian, that also tells a lot about the ideology’s applicability in practice. A brilliant book about why libertarianism doesn’t work is a book “A Libertarian Walks into a Bear”. In the book, a group of libertarians decides to take over the small town of Grafton in New Hampshire en masse as part of their “Free Town Project”. Of course this group cares neither about the town’s original inhabitants nor their rights. What’s the result? They hollow out pretty much everything from the library, to the school, the fire department and the police. No regard is given to any laws on hunting or food disposal, and that lures in bears, who turn so aggressive that they invade people’s homes. In addition to bears, sex offenders and all kinds of criminals are also lured into Grafton. It’s pretty entertaining book, I recommend it.
Another reason why I dislike libertarianism is that it can function as a gateway to fascism. This is a known phenomenon. Several key figures in the alt-right for example used to be libertarians. I stumbled into a clip from some American Libertarian Party convention where Richard Spencer was with Ron Paul. I had to rub my eyes a bit.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What would you do if you could transform into an invisible tiger?English
10·10 months agoI would travel a looong way on foot to Helsinki and the parliament house. Then I would attack and devour Petteri Orpo (our prime minister) and Riikka Purra (our minister of finance).
The plan? Enshittification.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What episode/season/movie do you consider as the ending in an otherwise long running franchise, and Why?English
21·1 year agoToy Story 3.
EDIT: And to elaborate, the movie showed a conclusion to a longer narrative thread of Andy growing up and his toys needing a new home. There was a satisfying ending.

There are no recommendation algorithms for content, you are one! Search for communities based on your interests and subscribe to them. The Communities view of your home instance and Lemmy Explorer are good for that. Because Lemmy is decentralized, all discussion isn’t centered around one site like on Reddit, which may at first give an impression of emptiness.
I also wrote an extensive guide about Lemmy few weeks ago.
Welcome!
What might be the repercussions of doing this?
Oooh, absolutely nothing! No side effects whatsoever, it really improves your quality of life!



And even though there is higher quantity of discussion, the quality might vary heavily.
