  • That is strange to me. I was never thought, so my understanding was that the person in the back is steering, the person in the front is giving rhythm. Sure if you are stationary, then the person in the front also steers like in the picture.

    I’ve seen that some only paddle on one side at competitions, but I don’t think that’s realistic for normal relaxed rides?













  • Realistically, Ukraine only really wants security guarantees. That is THE deal. They would be willing to ceed Crimea and dombas. I think. I mean maybe not, I don’t have any special insight. But like Donbas, it’s not a place people in other parts of Ukraine would be willing to die for in masses (I think).

    The main thing is security guarantees and I think it’s PRO how they are running their diplomacy.

    I think if they were offered NATO, they would ceed a lot for that.

    But… That’s exactly what Russians don’t want. They want influence. They want direct influence that would show they are a real super power. Which by now, everybody sees they are not, but grasping for straws… influence over demilitarized Ukraine would kind of show they are a super power. Not really, but a bit for their own population.

    However, there is no way in hell they can get that. Because even now Ukraine is too strong for them to take any city of significance. Even if US stops sending weapons altogether.

    So… The peace… We aren’t close, unless Putin can convince people internally that they won , when they don’t… but, then he has to worry all about the postwar economy which would be described in several rude words.

    It’s a truly bad situation.


  • I don’t see the problem. He told him honestly: this is not a job for you.

    Maybe it’s exploitative, maybe not, maybe they are offering stocks. Maybe they are taking a chance on a junior role. Whatever. It’s all good if people are honest and if the work is long hours, that those hours are paid. That’s it.

    I’ve worked in a startup and a lot of times it’s honest people that want to make something succeed and are in a hurry. It’s a normal situation. They want someone that’s like them, to put in long hours and make it work. I think that’s ok, if it’s communicated at the start and then paid in some part ownership. And we don’t know if that is the case here.

    No, I don’t usually go consider absurdities under dumb meme posts. I’m sure people that make those are very fragile people, but without criticism, how will they grow. More food for thought.

    But lets step out of this funny little exchange of ours. I think it’s great what the topic is. It can’t be more irrelevant and pointless than this I think. Like any other month Python sketch, it’s best when it’s short so it ends before it gets tedious. So, bye, good luck, have a great day.

    Sure, but I’m not standing next to a group of miserable “neurodivergent” kids, pointing and laughing, but dissing a meme that maybe 100 people will see and even that only because it’s got comments under it (because 3 people got offended by my comment).

    This whole thing should be a meme about how eger people are to get offended even if there is nothing there. Maybe it’s because Lemmy is so small, so there isn’t that much to get that fix from. Something worth while to think about.
