eskimofry@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Travelers to the U.S. must pay a new $250 'visa integrity fee'1·3 days ago“A person who was not racist would never keep a username like this”
I was ignorant and it’s not obvious this is racist as I am not american so fuck me i guess?
“I highly doubt that in the two years you have had this account no one on lemmy has pointed this out to you”
To my knowledge this is the first time some has said that this is racist. I will try to go back and find if someone mentioned this as racist. People have talked to me assuming I am american but that was expected.

eskimofry@lemmy.worldto Google Pixel@lemmy.world•Mandatory software update to reduce the battery capacity for affected Pixel 6a phones being pushed outEnglish1·4 days agoI have infact seen spicy pillows in my life and replaced the battery. And above all, if the battery is defective then the company has to bear the cost of replacement or explain why they sold products that can explode.
instead you seem to indicate it’s perfectly normal for the company to reduce battery life as if its their god given right to rip off customers like that.
eskimofry@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Travelers to the U.S. must pay a new $250 'visa integrity fee'1·4 days agoyou’re coming off as being desperate to get offended here. I didn’t give any thought to this username and I didn’t realize it is apparently racist until our interaction. I just mixed two words for a username that weren’t obviously bad.
eskimofry@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Travelers to the U.S. must pay a new $250 'visa integrity fee'1·4 days agoI am not an american despite my username.
And this $250 is going to be above an already expensive and painful visa process. And there are countries which are visa-less for certain country passports. I can bet that a tourist visa for the U.S is going to be among the top of the ranks of most expensive visas with the introduction of this “Visa-integrity” fee.
I could go to dozens of countries without having to get a visa, and plenty of other countries have visa which is actually worth the money than the dictator wannabes.
So no, If people can’t fork up $250 it doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be vacationing in foreign countries. That’s just you being ignorant while accusing me of being uneducated and American.

this is only partially true because CEOs sit on the board of their friends’ companies.

eskimofry@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•YouTube's Latest Update Shows That Online Monoculture Is DeadEnglish2·9 days agoit may not seem like it but… being offline is the best thing you can do to your mental health. No need to overwhelm your brain with stuff happening elsewhere when you already have to deal with stuff closer to home. Being aware is generally better than being ignorant but it shouldn’t disable your daily life.
eskimofry@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•YouTube's Latest Update Shows That Online Monoculture Is DeadEnglish8·11 days agoits a paid platform where engagement (i.e bickering in the comments section) is near absent. And the content is allowed to address themes that make main stream media blush.
eskimofry@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•YouTube's Latest Update Shows That Online Monoculture Is DeadEnglish10·11 days agotaking a guess but I already saw some other comments on another thread mention this: The chart boys in any corps will see Engagement == Profit. Thus they will tune their recommendations solely for that. And if you aren’t bothered about properly policing your video upload platform the end result is highly divisive content thats “not boring”.
Divisive content makes people angry so they engage in comments.
i used to be on reddit. And I used to get into “debates” that devolved into a slap fight and make me angry about the people who intentionally or unintentionally riled me up with outrageous (real or my own perception) opinions.
While lemmy also has slap fights, I feel like the lack of an “algorithm” tuned for engagement prevents continuous fueling of the fire, metaphorically speaking.

I have seen it with my own father. And the saddest part is they got this from religious rightwing media and have never ever interacted or had an opportunity to interact with the out-group that they are told to fear. Oh and, I am not from the 1st world. This shit is everywhere.

that’s a stretch. Trump will deport people who disagree with him about fucking kids so you should be driving a stake through his heart by now instead of some random person you decided to hate because democrats are fascists too.
