If that’s your level of understanding, I would say you don’t really need to be paying more attention. You should just understand your specific level of ignorance and recognize that you’ll need to defer to the opinions of experts on whatever topic you hear about in the future.

If you refuse to learn about current events, and more importantly the context of those events in history and so on, then you have no choice but to trust experts that know more than you. In this context, expert means people that study/work in a field their entire life and are backed by the larger community of experts - that is to say, they’re not at risk of losing their license or being removed from their employer/academic institution.

Isn’t it a lot harder to tell when people are just trolls? You have to look at multiple comments to see all the negative points they typically get to realize it’s not with your time to respond to them

I asked lemmy users what a tankie is.

Damn. I upvoted both of you. I just want to have fun but I also take everything super serious as well. This shit’s hard!!

You know this is something that’s super easy to research, right? Like the top answer literally just quoted wikipedia for you.

Just saying in case you’re interested in becoming more “resourceful” some day

I’m surprised no one uses DNS66. Is there’s an alternative that’s better?

Your spelling and grammar is perfect. This place isn’t even close to representing the average internet user.

Hmm… well that makes actually a lot of sense. Thanks!

I too wish they could pass real gun control legislation that would result in less weapons on the streets and in people’s homes.

Unfortunately, all we can ever get passed are bs laws that gun nuts won’t bother to fight against, considering the massive amounts of political spending on “single-issue” voters that care more about being able to shoot their neighbors than they care about living under a democratic-elected government.

I mean, who needs functioning institutions when you have a fuckin gun?

Have you heard of hybrid watches? I have a fancy kronaby but there’s other options. The battery lasts months and it does the basics pretty well

I went with a hybrid watch since it doesn’t need a new battery for months

I wear a hybrid watch made by kronaby. I just need to keep my phone unlocked and it lets you change/pause music so I’m more than satisfied. It even tracks your steps and whatnot but I don’t ever use that.

I forgot to mention the battery lasts months so there’s also that going for it

Literally its best feature. Y’all are fuckin buggin

Isn’t Gaza losing more people to this so called war than either Hamas or Israel?

This feels like saying there was a fight between two people and not mentioning that the biggest fighter only seemed to really be attacking a third smaller, less-aged person for some odd reason.

More like, “Damn, another one, do I have to? Oh no, the new update removed that awesome feature/app I used and only added something super lame I never needed and will never use!”

I think it’s a bit funnier if you don’t have a giant stick up you ass

No fun allowed on lemmy, everyone!
