Dumb question but wasn't there a cross-posting button so you can spread this meme to other communities?

reminds me of this furry version of the meme format :P
furry art by Tirrelous featuring a canine fursona labeled "furries" pressing their face against a door window while a deer fursona labeled "also furries" holds the door shut with a disgruntled facial expression

I also hate how ChatGPT infected the web nowadays is, though I usually look up song lyrics on genius. They sometimes have user generated comments with interesting tid bits. Akin to the old forums would be a lemmy community for interpreting song lyrics :)

Something not mentioned in the linked article: This was not an accident! The IDF confirmed to have killed him due to an alleged participation in Hamas. These allegations have been around for half a year and have been criticized since then for lack of proof. See Reporters without Borders article, The Times of Isreal article.

I think it's important nowadays to have faith in your government and democracy. You definitely should vote and you can be proud to help put your country into a direction you feel is best. This post seems to convey the message that you should vote to save democracy. This fear of the end of democracy might just end up increasing the influence of extreme political parties. In the US election both parties warned it will be the last vote.
German polls seem to indicate that CDU/CSU will be the strongest party and they will most likely not go into coalition with AfD, so the AfDs influence will not be much but they will probably get a lot of votes anyways. And even though I do not like the idea of a chancellor Merz due to him being very polarizing, I think Germany got this.
Don't panic C:

German here, I think the degree needed for getting a good job mostly depends on your study subject. One friend of mine studied chemistry at university and said that a PhD is required for a good job while another friend of mine studied computer science and got hired before even finishing his Bachelor's degree. The company helped him in finishing his Bachelor's degree while employing him.

I studied math and got a Master of science, currently doing my PhD while working as a research assistant. I hear most math students leave uni after getting their Bachelor's, similar to computer science students. Though it still wasn't easy to get a research job for me. I think even within a study subject it depends on your field of research whether getting a job is easy or not.

this tbh! reddit, tiktok, etc. doesn't properly embed in discord anymore, so I could just upload funny clips to Loops and have an actual playable embed when I share the link.

oh hey, I was there too! Worked at the save3rdpartyapps logo, was really nice seeing everyone collaborate but it got really stressful at points. People were greedy for canvas space. Was a bit disappointing that we could only do so much, the banner was really small after all. But at least the protest didn't go unnoticed with the giant "FUCK SPEZ" across the whole canvas.

This photo was apparently taken at the Miyagi Zao Fox Village.

Greetings, just wanted to share one of my favorite fox photos. It's apparently a finalist entry from Kevin Lohman for the 2022 Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards.

Also: be careful with the full res picture as it got a weird color profile, you might want to convert that.
