This is not exclusive to Lemmy, this happens the same way in real life - when you critique their food choice people tend to get in the defensive. This happens whether it’s about their health, ecology or ethics and of course it gets worse when you are implying that their choices hurt others.

Of course this is not exclusive to food. Everything that is seen as part of your identity leads to this defensive reaction (see politics, sports teams etc.) and they double down on their current stance. I bet vegans would be a LOT more successful if they would be more empathetic toward non-vegans and would approach this topic more tactically.

So like this?

Can’t really contribute as in Germany most pharmacy signs are pretty static and look kind of like this: https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2014/06/30/20/59/pharmacy-380780_640.jpg

But I also wonder why there’s so many pharmacies in France. In almost any city I’ve been to it’s hard to not have a green flashing cross in sight.

Leider taugen die 500 Zeichen nicht ansatzweise um sich über all das auszulassen, was die ARD die letzten Tage über das Thema geschrieben hat.

Wieso? Er hat ja durchaus recht mit den technischen Möglichkeiten. Das NOKIA 3210 kann hundert prozentig keine solchen Bilder und Videos öffnen oder machen.

Meine Theorie ist, dass die “konservativen” Parteien:

• Angst haben, dass es ihnen finanziell schlechter gehen könnte als heute
• nichts tun in der Hoffnung, dass sich dann auch nichts ändert.

But automatic registration for voting still is evil right?

What other reason can you name for people being anti immigration when there are zero immigrants in their region? Why do they care?

And regarding talking to conservatives: I do that all the time as (unfortunately) the sports club in which I’m heavily involved is pretty conservative, but I don’t see any reason why I should talk to people pushing and voting for Nazis agenda.

Because they’re manipulated? Because they like easy solutions to complex problems? Because they like to close their eyes and imagine that every can stay the same? Because neoliberal and conservative politicians fucked the lower and middle class while blaming the left (who for the most part weren’t even in power) and immigrants? Because German education has neglected teaching critical thinking skills and streamline education to just provide economic value?

Time and time again anti-immigrant tendencies are highest in areas with the lowest amount of immigrants (see the east of Germany). It’s just easy to hate people you don’t know…

Und das obwohl Autofahren in Stuttgart absolut das Letzte ist - vor allem wenn man in/durch die Innenstadt muss.

I’ve been waiting for something like that for quite a while. Let’s hope it really drives forward adoption in safety critical software 🙂

Did you get your audio volume fixed? My ThinkPad is so quiet on Linux (Silverblue) that it’s hard to use it for anything with media.

The results seem not to be very helpful: Sure I’m also for a negotiated peace in Ukraine as long as the pre 2014 borders are restored and reparations are paid. But how would you differentiate that from a Putin apologist?

Ich versteh es ja echt nicht. Alle paar Wochen haben Landwirte wieder Existenzangst vor Problemen die entweder durch den Klimawandel verursacht werden oder zumindest verschlimmert werden - was ja auch Sinn ergibt weil sie halt für ihre Arbeit direkt auf die Natur angewiesen sind - und trotzdem gibt es gefühlt keine Gruppe in der Gesellschaft die sich stärker wehrt Maßnahmen gegen den Klimawandel zu ergreifen…🙄
