I’m not saying that the scarcity of digital goods isn’t bullshit, but it’s rarely what keeps people poor.

Wait, wasn’t the whole point of climate change that we use more resources than the ecosystem can replenish?

Fingers crossed. Only way Ukraine can now guarantee its own survival.

Imo it’s first past the post. When there are only two choices, it doesn’t matter how insane one choice is, as long as you’re against the other, you’ll go with the the first choice. Furthermore, the dichodomy favors ‘extremism’, while hindering nuance.

I honestly don’t understand why people are downvoting the media bias bot. From what I’ve seen, it is pretty accurate. Is it that people see the comment count go up and expect a human comment to interact with, only to be disappointed and then downvote the bot?

If so, I’d suggest Lemmy/Mbin to not could comments made by bot accounts towards the total comment count.

It’s great to see that Sanders is so popular. It’s sad to see that politicians of his caliber are so rare that if he ever retires, his absence will be painful.

Just to give a little bit of context, shorts can natively played as videos by replacing the www.youtube.com/shorts/[…} url with www.youtube.com/watch?v=[…], so a simple url replacer will do as well.

“You are undermining men controlling their wives family values!”

You could always use lemmy.org

He is just so fucking weak-minded. He got cyber-bullied by Putin. He turned into Trump’s lapdog. And the next day he gotta fire random employees of his to feel in control again. Piss baby aptly describes his state of mind.

It’s also crazy that you can grab a phone book (if those even still exist) from the other side of the world, just call a number over there and speak with person you would’ve never met otherwise.

“Destroying” has a pretty obvious connotation.

Most monarchies didn’t get ‘destroyed’ and most peasants living under monarchies didn’t have much to lose to begin with. The world is much more interconnected now.

There is no perfect system, every system needs to be fought over, lest it gets overtaken by those working against you. Destroying the current system also destroys every benefit you already fought for.

“You haven’t given us your data in a while!”

I wonder if you remind your child of a specific memory they made daily, if they will remember that moment till their adult life.

As long as it means they can control others, they are happy.
