It’s looking more and more depressing on that front too…
Apparently we’re discovering that our type of star system with its long periods of stability and lack of local disruptive bodies is incredibly, incredibly, rare… There are a (literal) astronomical amount of systems out there so there’s no way we’re the only one with life, but it’s really looking like there could only be a “handful” of others out there :/
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
If he’s actually serious about this I can’t believe how anyone could possibly believe he is actually a democrat… It’s like every single thing he does helps Republicans and the parasite donor class. I feel like all I ever read is “Manchin shoots down Democrats attempt to xyz” constantly… Hell even your comment shows how conservatives like him more than liberals. In my mind he’s always been a selfish spoiler.
That’s why they increased the price. They know soon you won’t have a choice
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 don’t have a link for it, but I read that YouTube is working on a 3 strikes policy for anyone using AdBlock programs… So after the 3rd warning you’re not able to watch anything on YouTube at all…
I almost wish it was that simple. Unfortunately it’s more about greed and the vast majority of politicians being owned by those with real power (money).
It’s not a right vs left thing it’s a right AND corporate left vs the tiny percentage of DSA Democrats that actually want to get a universal/single payer system up and running… I’m not usually a “BoTh SiDeS” guy but in this case it absolutely is. We have a LOT of shitty corporate Democrats unfortunately… The GOP is completely a lost cause though.
It’s such an uphill battle because the vast majority of BOTH parties need the Parasite Owning Class™ to back them, and some count on the extremely well paid board member type jobs they’re given after they serve in government. The types of jobs handed out so that they can argue they don’t accept bribes and haven’t been paid by anyone (yet…) It’s a gross loophole that really needs to be addressed.
I’m “technically/mechanically inclined” as they say, but formally, “professionally,” I’m just a worthless factory worker schmuck lol
It’s in opposition to what is objective, I don’t understand how someone could think if one exists the other can’t…
But I also don’t understand why people were eating Tide pods so…
“Couldn’t we just do one extra pizza party every other year? Peasants like pizza right?”
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 have some friends like this… It’s so frustrating. They have no idea how lucky they are to be so interested in such lucrative careers… They’d literally sit at home during the summer and work on things they found interesting. Yes they worked for it, I’ll never say they didn’t, but they didn’t have to FORCE themselves to do it, they were having fun…
Now they’re wealthy and enjoying work while I’m stuck in a literal sweatshop because everything I find interesting are just hobbies that can’t be monetized… But fuck me for not being “valuable.”
I’m really having a hard time thinking about what jobs this would create though. I get the internet thing, as people needed to create and maintain all aspects of it, so jobs are created. If some massive corporation makes the AI and all others use the AI, there’s no real infrastructure. The same IT guys maintain the systems at AI corp. What’s left to be done with it/for it by “common folk?”
No no no you don’t get it, if we just remain on our high horse and keep the white gloves on, if we just say please a few more times, they’ll finally stop acting like fascist children! We can’t do something or the moderates might think we’ve gone too far by actually doing something and we’ll lose them to the childish fascists.
“Inaction is positive action!” -some moron probably.
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.
