I seriously hope that they won't be able to while they're warmongering in the east and keep on abusing the Greek borders to the west and claim that Greek lands belong to them. If they stop their bully behavior and play nice with their neighbors then I'll be glad to welcome them and keep history in the past.

This is pretty standard in concerts, just shove your way through some people to go someplace better

There's an amazing pizza I ate in Italy with tomato sauce, pieces of mozzarella, and a few pieces of basil (if I remember correctly), there's no cheese and it's eaten cold. I miss it so much it's one of the best things I've eaten ever

lmfao at the second one, the first one is actually pretty interesting if you do it on an actual plain pizza instead of a ready one

I ordered a Napoletana in Rome thinking it would be a Naples style pizza but it apparently has anchovies, I almost gagged while eating it but it was still a good pizza

It's definitely possible, but it would be a swiss army knife of an app that's way too hard to make compared to how confusing and messy the end result would probably be

Maybe my definition of "decent human being" is too strict, but it's way too rare for me to assume it.
I assume that someone I don't know is alright, but they have to do some kind act or show good behavior at their expense without expecting to be rewarded for me to understand that they really are a good person and aren't just good to others when it's easy and beneficial for them.

I think the city life with everyone being in a rush and overwhelmed with work has decreased the amount of third places a lot.

I still see some local caffés where people chill and the barista also sits with them at times and joins in the conversation, or people talking while they're getting a haircut etc. but it's mostly a bit older people, young people seem to keep to themselves more.

Then again, I'm quite introverted so it's hard for me to engage in conversation to the point where I might not even notice that some place is a "third place"

As ridiculous as it sounds, posts and inside jokes like these make a platform feel like something unique and special, it's like our very own poop knife post

Summer does suck for its own reasons, but I'm overall much happier during summer than the winter.
Maybe it's the sun, maybe it's the temperature or the lack of allergies, but I'm always in a much better mood and more energetic despite getting tired from the heat.

I agree with your points generally, but I also understand the point of view of the general user. Reddit for most people is just a nice app to open while you're lying on your couch between activities and scrolling through some interesting/fun/wholesome stuff. The API changes are completely irrelevant to the average user who doesn't even know about third party apps. I remember a poll on r/polls about 3rd party apps and the people who use Reddit's app was like 95% (obviously r/polls is not scientific statistics but it still shows something).

What you're saying is especially more relevant on platforms like Youtube, where there's people actually having careers and their life's work at stake because of Youtube constantly taking a dump on their platform.

What I'm mostly here (kbin and Lemmy) for is because I believe in decentralization and an open source, free from capitalist milking, internet and I want to be a part of it and support its growth.
