I spent hours with my mother explaining a scientific paper that was paraded around YouTube with the usual half-assed reading they do, and that fucker even ended with “don’t trust me, read for yourself!” Which naturally no one does as “well he told me to look so he can’t be lying.”

Yeah well he was at best just dense and didn’t understand, but more than likely capitalizing on sensational bullshit…

No, the Chinese are not trying to create a super deadly COVID variant Mr.Campbell…

Believe it or not, jail!

In our society it’s literally stupid NOT to do these things. If you got rich doing it you “won.” Fuck the general population, fuck “good” things, fuck literally everything, C.R.E.A.M.

I hate it so much.

I saw a post “Lemmy seems to have way more leftists than xyz.” So I wouldn’t be surprised to find it’s political nonsense, people attacking a site they see as “the left.”

There would generally be mandatory meetings for workers to attend that would allow for debates on the trajectory of the company. The state would “own” it but the workers would still direct it.

In a very very small way, it is like what Germany does with large corporations. They require a percentage of the board of directors be actual workers so it’s not just a bunch of capitalist parasites making decisions that would hurt workers just to boost their own portfolios/profits.

“Then there’s no journalistic accountability when they do get caught with their hand in the cookie jar.”

Literally Fox News Entertainment when brought to court over Tucker Carlsons bullshit…

“We’re not news we’re Entertainment™©®, no reasonable person would believe what Mr.Carlson is saying is true.” So they don’t need to have any integrity whatsoever…

An individual can’t own the means of production, it’s supposed to be “owned” by the people. I’m not a communist, but that argument never changed.

It’s pretty much the story of Arsenal Gear in Metal Gear Solid 2 lol

Kojima always had a way of seeing into the not so distant future and pretty much nailing it.

I love that I have the option to vote for people on specific platforms in NY. I can show support for the Working Families Party while still voting for Democrats as the politicians can run under multiple parties so I’m not just tossing away a vote just to send a message

Duckduckgo is a wrapper for bing? No wonder it sucks… I want to like it, but the results are usually pretty bad in comparison to Google. Takes me much longer to find what I’m looking for with DDG. :/

I’m “technically/mechanically inclined” as they say, but formally, “professionally,” I’m just a worthless factory worker schmuck lol

I believe it’s also largest in dollar amount by a long shot.

Just a quick search found something from 2018 so don’t crucify me if it’s not accurate anymore lol

I always just say “I’d be better if you were checking my prostate” but I always get kicked out right after! I can never quite put my finger in why though…

:P

I see what you’re trying to do here and I won’t fall for your Mongolian propaganda techniques!

God damn Mongoriens! Always trying to break my shitty wall!

I’ve never seen the word tankie more in my life than I have since joining Lemmy and I had been on reddit for over 11 years lol

Not so fun fact: the constitution allows for slavery as long as it’s a punishment for a crime.

Hmmm… Nah, those dots don’t connect at all.

While true, my theory is that they might also want something else. I use a plate and sometimes she’ll just beg for more anyway even if half of what I gave her is still in the bowl, I’ll give her a tiny bit of something else and she’ll go eat that instead lol

Well that will be the first time in my life I actually say “that’s someone else’s problem.” Lol

I’m not even a machinist, I kinda wish I took that route. I came in as the lead assembler figuring I could prove my worth and “move up” into something better. Instead I became essential and am stuck lol

Seriously… I just look at indeed and want to strangle someone… How are like 85% of all jobs on there posting salaries that are barely good enough for a random store cashier…
