Because without conscious effort to expand your horizons, your preferences and distastes ossify around what you were exposed to growing up and in young adulthood. However, the world continues to change. Aging also can make adapting harder cognitively.

Not the Onion@lemmy.ml•Secretary of War Hegseth: "The one institution that should win the Nobel Peace Prize, every single year, is the U.S. military."
4·26 days agoWhile this makes zero logical sense, given what Nobel Peace Prize winners tend to do after acquiring said prize, this is not as farfetched as it may look.

World News@lemmy.ml•Israel now occupies more of Lebanon than Russia occupies in Ukraine
2·29 days agoLebanon would have had to have launched a land reclamation campaign big enough to make the Dutch look like amateurs or made their own Greater Lebanon for the headline to have been in anything other than percentages.

41·1 month agoElon: hails from the OG apartheid state, in his free time boosts racist stereotypes about black people, far right influencers and far right political movements, one of which is literally the remnants of the Nazi party and does the Nazi salute for the whole world to see. This guy: totes not a Nazi

There’s quite a few Discord alternatives. IMO Stoat and especially Fluxer are pretty discord-like. Fluxer is pretty new and still working out kinks. They support (Stoat) or will support (Fluxer) self-hosting and Fluxer will implement (limited) E2EE. I have heard of other alternatives like Root, TeamSpeak, Mumble but cannot speak to them.

World News@lemmy.ml•Trump ‘threatens to stop’ weapons for Ukraine unless Europe joins Hormuz coalition
3·2 months agoYeah it was pitched to him. We know Lindsey coached Israel on how to sell the war to Trump. But he did ultimately agree to it and he’s the commander-in-chief so its ultimately his responsibility. No other president agreed to this stupidity.
CEOs continue to brown nose him despite his tariffs being bad for business as he at the least will rubber stamp their mergers and other anti-consumer policies.

31·2 months agoNobody is sending their soldiers to die for his impulsive, poorly thought out war. especially after he has spent years antagonizing allies.

Reddit still has some value in that it has active niches or hobbyist subs. I still pop in for book/movie/tech recommendations.
