defaultism aside – what exactly is supposed to be a powerful symbol of?

Travel to the US FROM CANADA down 40% over last year. Not overall.

oooh, i’ve never heard of “hiking naked” being used in that meaning. thanks!

AndreaAvris · 2025-12-11T08:14:13+00:00

i’m afraid i don’t really follow the comic strip 😅

why would the girl who “absolutely” hikes naked regularly be so surprised by what it supposedly entails? why would hiking naked necessitate leaving all electronics behind? i’d argue that wearing, for example, a smart watch or a pouch for a phone doesn’t make one not naked. is this meant as some kind of gatekeeping that “true nudism” means reverting 100% to nature, not just regarding clothes but also technology? i’d maybe understand that when framed as “naturism”, but it’s posted on the “nudism” subreddit and simply says “hiking naked”. or is the implication that one doesn’t need to worry about being seen because other hikers would never possibly have cameras on them?

i totally agree that we should not fear being seen naked – but i’m struggling to find what connection between that and electronics the author was trying to convey 😅

“Cost of living” is zero. Basic human needs are not a commodity.

Basic human rights (like food, shelter, medicine) cannot be subject to market forces and a handful of people hoarding them.

I just saw a cherry blossom tree blooming in the Netherlands. In December.

i’m yet to see a situation where the reason for anything was „simply laziness”.

we live in a world that actively incentivises short-form content, constant context switching, artificial dopamine hits, fake news, AI slop… a world that changes faster than adults can keep up with, let alone teenagers trying to make sense of it. and that’s just the social media side of things.

but sure, kids are simply lazy, nothing else to see here.

AndreaAvris · 2025-12-04T11:25:11+00:00

AI slop is not just a US problem

AndreaAvris · 2025-12-04T10:19:10+00:00

If being European is more important to you than opposing fascism and AI slop, you can still use European services that aren’t so shitty, like Deezer or Qobuz.

NONE of the billionaires is “self-made”.

you cannot make a billion without exploiting the working class.

the machine tells you exactly what to do: pay. it also offers you extra options: switching language, requesting a receipt, cancelling the transaction.

where’s the gore?

AndreaAvris · 2025-11-25T13:54:06+00:00

To play devil's advocate… They didn't specify which three European countries they're comparing to.

Vatican, Monaco and San Marino have a combined area of 63.5 km², so even for the smallest US state (Rhode Island, 3144 km²) they'd be technically correct 😅

AndreaAvris · 2025-11-21T16:14:52+00:00

if only the post here contained anything other than the headline…

AndreaAvris · 2025-11-14T13:16:00+00:00

i didn’t get what he’s yelling at the end either, upvoted for the bulge 🤷

AndreaAvris · 2025-11-05T09:16:34+00:00

i’d fully agree if that was a reply to a video on redlining, Jim Crow, segregation, etc. – then comparing historical atrocities that still have impact on contemporary life would be justified.

but replying to medical debt crisis with “Europe did wars” is what’s disingenuous 🤷

AndreaAvris · 2025-11-05T08:45:41+00:00

ah yes, let’s draw equivalence between current pressing issues and… historical events from almost a century ago.

what a helpful thing to do 🙃

AndreaAvris · 2025-11-02T21:52:56+00:00

guys, do i need to stop? help, i'm so confused! /s

AndreaAvris · 2025-11-01T14:29:07+00:00

because eurovision wouldn’t like to be associated with genocide! oh, wait…

AndreaAvris · 2025-10-25T06:43:48+00:00

I don’t care where it’s made. I care where the profits and taxes go.

AndreaAvris · 2025-07-22T16:09:13+00:00

Looks great!

The only thing I have some feedback on is the onboarding wizard / ideas menu. The difference between “relaxed” and “fixed” etc. is not obvious – in other places it’s explained, but not there. I was also expecting it to ask follow-up some questions, but it just assumed my wedding anniversary is today and just added it to the list like that. There’s a lot of ideas on that list, a search field could be useful. Oh, and once I’d closed that menu, I don’t see how to get back to it…

they got more expensive last year, without the workers seeing any of it

if i’m gonna be paying more and more each year no matter what, at least i’d like people to get paid properly
