Tetsuo ,

The only issue I have with YouTube is that while using an Ad blocker it doesn't track videos I have already seen in my subscriptions.

So it will tell me that I didn't watch a video I just watched.

A small price to pay for an ad free experience but a bit annoying still.

Tetsuo ,

For growth.
You don't water your garbage?

I use DDG and if the result is not what I'm looking for, I add !g to forward the query to Google.

80% of the times, I need to add !g because DDG is clueless.

I wish I could say otherwise but Google search results are still better overall than DDG.

Sure, for some specific thematics, DDG will do better. But that's for quite niche subjects.

Very surprised to see people talk about DDG like it's at the same level or better than Google.

Tetsuo ,

I still think the "low" salary of Wikimedia is obscene.

There is no way even that figure is proportionate to what these people actually do day to day.

Basically, the US obsessing about race but refusing to face it's history with blanket word bans that are frowned upon no matter the context.

The US is clearly not facing their slavery past and instead avoiding the difficult and deeply disturbing vocabulary associated with it.

IMHO there is nothing wrong with the N word used in an history lesson. On the contrary, I think it's especially important to show younger generations how evil some our ancestors were.

And I say that as a french guy living in a city that was extremely important during the slave trade. We know what our ancestors did, we are not proud of it, we don't feel responsible for it but we do make sure it's not forgotten.

Tetsuo ,

I understand that critic.

That being said, I really have never visited a country where race is mentioned as frequently as in the US.

In many European countries I have visited it just didn't seem relevant.

Sometimes it's not just a cliché or a prejudice against a nation, it's just how it is.

I have no doubt at least that the peculiar history of the US has shaped the way racial discourse is prevalent or not in that society.

Would you agree that race is more commonly talked about in the US than in the rest of the world?

I think it's pointless to ask on Lemmy for an accurate depiction of the importance of race in the american society. You may say it's too reductive but I think it's a more productive conversation than your comment. I would much rather have someone politely argue and explain that I'm wrong rather than calling my comment "almost pointless" and basically presenting it as some outlandish and prejudiced caricature of the US.

The "your comment is too reductive and therefore is pointless" could probably be applied to every posts in there. Just saying.

Tetsuo ,

That's great but can you just answer this ?

Is it ok in your sense to kill civilians because they invaded your country ?

A really simple question.

Tetsuo ,

So that's a yes.

I dip a tampon in THC oil and insert it in my anus. Learned it on fox news.

Unfortunately, this is inspired from a real stupid thing some young people did but with alcool. Goes too fast in their bloodstream and some supposedly ended up in a coma.
