As a wise person said not long ago: "the regime is trying to appear strong as granite, but in reality it's made of toilet paper".

To be fair, YouTube doesn't have an algorithm that promotes the best videos, either. For quite some time now, it just promotes garbage.

Actually, in Hungary (at least when I was a kid) they thought us, pedestrians, to use the left side, although this was more important when there was no sidewalk. The reason is, drivers might not see pedestrians very well, especially at night, but pedestrians do have a higher chance to see cars, as cars are usually illuminated. The pedestrian is facing forward, so it's easy to see and react when a car is coming. But from behind? They'll pass on the right side of the road, so there should be plenty of clearance.

And I was legit surprised when I moved to Germany, pedestrians here are using the right side.

There are no bugs, just happy little features.

I know someone who has the same name as her mother, and her grandmother. They all lived in the same household. Imagine, you call her name and all three of them listen.

I never understood this practice in general, regardless of gender. There are so many possibilities, sure it takes some creativity, but it's not that hard, come on.

I know what you said. I can read.

And I explained my view, why I disagree with it.

Regarding Volt: please, don't promise things if you cannot keep your promise.

Just to add a bit of an explanation: all votes going to other parties than the nazis are not wasted. In fact, the more parties receive votes, the better. Best would be an equal share. Diversity is what moves us forward.

I don't think capitalism has anything to do with this, especially in Germany.

It's pure lack of education and common sense.

In my opinion, the trend is pretty damn worrying. The trend has been going on for a long time.

I understand what you mean, the actions done in the last week before an election is what drives the majority of dumb people, but inevitably you gotta plant the seed quite early on, and keep feeding the facts or misinformation (depending on which party is doing it). Sadly desinfornation campaigns have been going on on full blast, but haven't seen any effective counter actions from Volt, for example, or other parties.

Factual information, education should go on continuously on every possible channel to reach everyone. Yes, even 4 years before the election.

I cannot agree with this. I mean, a sane person would never pick the nazis, even if the poll has no consequences.

I'm sure there's something else going on.

What did these people smoke?! Seriously! Especially in light of what's been happening in the US. Like there's a scandal for every day since that idiot stepped into power; how can the nazis get even more popular? Or what kind of poll was that? One made by Russia?

Rhetorical question, it's one of those things in life I'll never understand.

@snek_boi@lemmy.ml, where are you? Now this was absolutely a surprise to me, that this was, in fact, not real, just a satire (which I learned from the comments).

 

I'm looking for book recommendations in the topics mentioned in title.

I often find myself feeling down and not being able to accomplish anything, and the tendency has been increasing.

I cannot even work on my hobby projects, because I'm just staring at the screen and my brain is not functioning, which leads to launching a game or watching YouTube videos and waste time.

I cannot find the way out of this madness, and my last resort is to find some books that might help with my issue.

I don't wanna rely on search results on the internet, because I don't trust random compilations of "read these 10 books to be productive".

Well, this is optional, but in case the book you recommend indeed helped you, I'd be curious how permanent the impact was for you, if that makes sense. I know mostly it depends on the person; it's me who has to make the effort, not the book. But I'd be curious how easy it is for you to consistently maintain what you learned from the book.

Regarding the format, it has to be in epub. And I'd very much prefer DRM-free books, price doesn't matter. If the only good books are all DRM-enshittified, that sucks, but I'll consider that too if I have no other choice.

Thanks in advance if anyone can help with recommendations!
