2·7 months agoWhile I appreciate the funny critique of Varoufakis, this is the same point that another Jacobin author makes against the idea of techno-feudalism.

1·7 months agoIt makes sense that they ended up with Twitter. I mean who would be so dumb to name a platform X?
432·7 months agoWow, Microsoft are always so innovative! I never thought that the Win11 taskbar could get any shittier, but somehow they managed it. It’s great to see those thousands of engineers being put to good use.
15·7 months agoCan’t we just force heavy taxation for the amount of plastics in products? That would force producers to look at alternatives to plastic for packaging.
I am always in shock when I buy some product and it has layers and layers of thick plastic to give the impression of some premium product. And sometimes I don’t even have an alternative product to buy to avoid it since I only have 2 supermarkets in my area.

Just a normal day for capitalism
The next “logical” step after SUVs is driving APCs in the name of safety.
You’re right. I fixed it now but it seems that all the links next to the comment are broken in this thread, for me at least. The links next to the name point to different comments in the thread. Maybe a Lemmy bug
WTF are you even talking about? Your comment I answered to was this, which contains no quotes.
The only problem here is that you made a dumb mistake, refuse to own up to it and move on, and instead insist that everyone else is talking out of their arse.
Edit: fixed link to comment
You’re welcome, but it was mostly about a shit argument, not as much about tone.
4·7 months agoYes, I gave her the benefit of the doubt as well, but framing it as “we were the gatekeepers” and seeming annoyed that they have to be more transparent about their process is an… interesting way of presenting the argument.
I didn’t find the full context for the video, but I don’t think she was talking about the problem of misinformation. Even if they have credible sources that 99% of experts agree on and a transparent process, misinformation will still be spread (see climate change denial). So I think that’s a different problem entirely.
Mate, read the room. Tone deaf posts like this are a good reason why people hate vegans. And this is coming from a fellow vegan. Palestine isn’t going to avoid famine by switching to vegan now; that’s completely insane! And it would still be starving even it was 100% vegan, due to, you know, a fucking genocide happening.
Yeah, I never understood the point of these nofap movements if you just substitute it with some other addiction like binge watching or doomscrolling social media. It seems like treating a symptom instead of a disease. If you fill your life with fulfilling interactions with people, hobbies and passions, you won’t even have the time for harmful addictions.
Well, apparently freeing yourself from porn enables you to make even more silly memes. Probably better to keep doing porn then.
How about not supplying weapons for a genocide? Or not vetoing resolutions for ceasefire? If the USA was neutral in this conflict your statement would be true, but it’s obviously not.
And going back to the Houthi attacks:
A spokesperson for the Houthi forces, Yahya Saree, wrote in a post on X that this decision was due to the “horrific massacres” against Palestinians in Gaza and said they would continue to act until food and medicine was made available for the Gaza Strip. — source
The US with all its western lapdogs could provide basic humanitarian aid to a people being genocided, instead of providing support for an illegal blockade, and the attacks would end. It seems like a win win, no brainer decision for anyone who isn’t a senile imperialistic liberal.
What a dumb straw man argument. You know very well that this administration has done absolutely nothing to stop it — it has gone out of its way to support it.

lol
He did, but that would involve actually trying, as opposed to supporting it and risk escalation in the area
The liberal cope strong in this one is.
They’re not. It’s just very clearly a consequence of supporting a genocidal war in the Middle East that Biden had the power to prevent (and vowed to as part of his campaign).

Makes you wonder why they’re attacking “civilian” ships
How efficient is it to antagonize people that are actively promoting your own content for free on other platforms? Does this actually work for Nintendo?
