Oh shit my bad, it's just X Always links to XVideos so I thought it was the same thing.

This X naming scheme is pretty cool, I like the consistency, X, XVideos, XBox, not very creative but very recognizable

What's Twitter?

All I know is XVideos, that thing Musk owns

I'm not familiar with how voting works in America but like...

Can you vote? I mean it thinks you're not a person, can non-people vote?

As an Egyptian, I've had to constantly talk back against multiple people with the usual "all middle eastern countries are iran" bullshit, I thought I'd escaped it when I left reddit, but nope, apparently in Egypt Hijab is forced by law, I just didn't know Egyptian law and needed a European ~~redditor~~ lemming(?) to give us all a white-savioresque lecture on it.

Many people don't know this (surprisingly), but reddit is racist as fuck, like one of the most racist platforms I've ever been on, it's really well cloaked racism (usually, r/Europe and r/Worldnews are openly racist) , but it's everywhere, and OH GOD the white Savior Complex so many redditors have is infuriating.

But hey, at least on lemmy I can correct it, on reddit I'd be swarmed by westerners who think they know more about my country than I, a person living there, do, and will proceed to tell me I'm very wrong.

They push this so far, I've had them lecture me, someone FROM GIZA, on the "correct" position of the pyramids.

The thing I love about lemmy is instead of neoliberals and weird racists silencing Leftists like reddit, it's Leftists and Social democrats constantly at each other's throats.

The latter is much more amusing

This one confuses me, what's the basis for this being a slur? It's based in ideology, not race (given that it was invented by cubans for use on other cubans) or sexuality.

That would make Tankie a slur too, wouldn't it?

I believe Dikeç actually scored the highest.

It was a team event though

I can't remember the exact number but it was like:

1- Dikeç

2- Mikec (The Serbian guy)

3- Arunovic (the Serbian lady)

4- Tarhan (The turkish lady)

But the points are totaled so I guess the Serbians scored higher combined

"along a very narrow band of the earth, between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn."

Uhh, I wouldn't consider that very narrow, especially given that it's 36% of Earth's landmass and a third of all people live in it

To be fair it's an oil themed water park so tar seems logical

Egyptian here curious as to how the fuck our government casually gave away 10 billion dollars.

They're load shedding (cutting off power) for hours every day because "the state can't afford it"

Edit: oh, it's 10 million. Still, that's 55 million Egyptian pounds
