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

Totally disagree. The rise of populist politicians using xenophobic rhetoric is the proof that this mechanism is still strong.

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.

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.

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.

When i was a child, i believed autopilot really worked like in the movie Airplane, that it was an inflatable dummy.
