What was the most cartoonish moment of your life? (lemmy.ml)
 

I had a drum that was stored on a huge wardrobe and was pretty unstable. One day, as i opened the wardrobe, the drum fell on my head. I laugh about it today because fortunately, the wound was not as severe as i though at first.

How did you hurt yourself in a very stupid way? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

English is not my mother language, i used an automatic translator for this word. In french, this is called "sas d'entrée".

How did you hurt yourself in a very stupid way? (lemmy.ml)
 

I was running for my train. After entering in the station airlock, for a reason i still can't explain, i turned right instead of continuing straight ahead and BAM, i hit a glass with my face. Now i have a little scar, fortunately hidden behind my eyebrow.

What's the funniest thing your pet did? (lemmy.ml)
 

My cat has a new obsession: sticking his head out of the cat flap, seeing that it's raining, staying still, coming back in, meowing at me like "Daaad, it's raining" and starting the cycle again.

What issue in society do you think is near impossible to fix? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Impunity of members of UN security council

If a UN resolution is vetoed by at least one of the members of the UN security council, the said resolution is thrown in the trash. That means that if a war crime is serving the interests of at least one member of the UN security council, its full impunity is de facto guaranteed. Even worse: some of the members are notably war-thirsty and 2 of them aren't even democratic. And there is no way to change this way of functioning because it also can be vetoed by the said members. How many crimes have been made possible because of that?

Cyberbullying

Not a single judiciary system is able to tackle a phenomena that can happens from anywhere in the world to anywhere in the world an can imply a handful of thousand of persons. Big tech does not have legal obligation nor financial or ideological interest to tackle it because forcing them would be unconstitutional. The rare cases where justice give a fuck about it, you get at best the condemnation of a bunch of nobodies after years of legal procedure during which the bully continues, and most of your bullies are still unpunished and free to launch a punitive expedition.

Populism

This is as old as the democracy itself, and we still don't know how to fix it. People are so easily driven by their emotions and stubborn about their political opinions that you only have to exploit cynically their low instincts to take the power, especially in a crisis context. And once populists are in the power, they hardly give it back.

It can be low effort, passive-aggressive, insulting or derogatory towards your convictions.

I have read the documentation, but i still don't understand how simpleX know that the messages are delivered to the right person if it doesn't use ID's. Could someone explain it schematically ?

Thanks

What's the Schrödinger's cat equivalent in your profession/main activity? (lemmy.ml)
 

Needless to say i'm talking about the oversimplified and misleading version of the Schrödinger's cat paradigm, where he is both dead and alive until you watch it.

I don't have a job but i follow theater courses at an academy. And my improvisation is both funny and awful until i show it to others.

What's the worst Xmas/new year eve you've ever lived? (lemmy.ml)
 

One year, we decided to pass the new year eve in an uncle's house at some god forsaken hole with our dog. After a neverending trip during wich our dog farted in the car, we finally arrive. The said uncle was a radical ecologist, wich is not a problem per se, except when his only conversation subject is about the ecological collapse, not the ideal subject for a good atmosphere, with in addition to that my sister's BF, who was with us, doing his Mr. know-it-all show. Then we went to sleep, and i realize that i forgot my earplugs. No luck, everyone in my family was snoring very loudly, including the dog. Result: i didn't sleep at all and looked pretty much like a zombie the next morning.

What's the worst thing you've ever smelled? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] Merlu@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

Without hesitation, the smell of persons who didn't took a shower for a long time, the only smell so far able to make me puke.
