Of course, this is in Asia of all places lol. Small shops there love making play on words.

Nothing says ‘circular economy’ like Microsoft stranding 400 million PCs
This might be a silly question but would this not be a good idea for a start up company that recycle computer parts?
- Comment on Labour votes AGAINST letting disabled people use the bus for free before 9:30am 1 week ago:
Labour is trying to please their rich political donors, who tend to be right wing and will always love them, so long as Labour do their donor’s bidding.

- Comment on Time to bash Americans again 1 week ago:
Being American is not exclusive to black people and thus American culture is a country-wide problem in relation to guns.
- Comment on Time to bash Americans again 1 week ago:
Everyone in Switzerland has a gun and they don’t shoot eachother up. American society is fucked up on multiple different levels
Whenever i mention the Swiss having as many guns as the US, if not more, and yet the former has practically zero mass shooting incidents, and pointed out the problem of America is cultural, Americans tend to turn a blind eye to it.

- Comment on What would have to happen to make everybody realize we weren't exaggerating when we said Trump would be like Hitler? 1 week ago:
I think at this stage, virtually everyone now acknowledges Trump is like Hitler. After all, the anti-Trump rallies had been more massive than expected, and something like the second biggest protest in US history.
However, for the unconvinced who still doesn’t think Trump is not fascist. What would have to happen? When social media and other sources of information is democratised. We live in different sets of reality because we are seeing only select sets of facts on to our media feeds, curated by propietary algorithms owned by private interests, to affirm our biases. Once we take away how social media is run by private companies, whose only interest is to anger us and to drive engagement and more ad revenue, we would be able to fully paint the bigger picture.

Neoliberal politicians do have plans, but it is for the benefit of the rich.

Indeed, he’s an idiot.
People are afraid if he becomes prime minister. The thing is he’s a harmless idiot because he is all complain and rhetoric without offering any specific plan on how to implement them. Should he come to power, it’s just going to be whatever the hell happens. His potential leadership will end up collapsing like the far right tenure in Sweden, Finland and The Netherlands. Farage never really have had any significant leadership experience, because he spent most of his career beating the drum but never leading the band.
But from my personal perspective, his premiership, if he does become PM and even if it fails, will set precedence and open the floodgate to a cleverer authoritarian demagogue that could plunge UK to a full fascism. I think most people are short sighted about the snowball effect of current actions.

I don’t like the guy, but indeed he is being taken out of context if you read the full interview. What Farage means is that Brexit is not happening the way he wants it to happen. He wants more trade deals, stricter immigration, and leaving the obligations from international rules like the ECHR.

Nothing wrong with seceding from an unquestionably, increasingly tyrannical government.

USA under Franklin Roosevelt was probably the only time the country was firmly at the highest peak of moral ground.
As for the rhetorical questions, you make it sound as though US fascists were in power to effect influence and policy change. They have been loud but never been influential enough. FDR have made sure of that.

The top panel is just the human ego speaking volumes. This is why we have main character syndrome, and some people think the universe owes them if they feel disappointed.
- Comment on Clueless sports fans 2 weeks ago:
Probably the only good billionaires are the ones who would donate most of their wealth and not tell to brag about it. The founder of Duty Free shopping, [Chuck Feeney, is one of the good ones who donated 99% of his wealth] ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Feeney?wprov=sfla1) and was left with $2 million by the time he died. He started to secretly donate most of his wealth at the peak of his career. His secret philanthropy was only found out after he had to disclose his finances during a lawsuit.
The good billionaires, however few or if there are many, would donate most of their wealth and not brag about it; or not try to announce they would do so but drag their feet, unlike Bill Gates and Warren Buffet.

Three downvotes on your comment and there is one commenter is either a troll or a fascist. I wasn’t expecting some fascists to rear their ugly head in Lemmy lol.

I noticed that people who are highly opinionated on anything about culture wars seem less vocal on criticising the wealth transfer to the wealthy, and they are not even rich. Kinda says a lot what they value more.
- Comment on And they even get a seizure when you take their ipads away 3 weeks ago:
My colleague is real nice and all, but exactly why she gives iPad/phone to her toddler is exactly for the reason you mentioned. A lot of parents are lazy. And we wonder why the younger generation is turning right, because techno-fascists know how glued we are now to digital devices.
- Comment on STRAIGHT 2 JAIL 3 weeks ago:
You’re all complaining about the minutest detail, but if you watch the 1965 film Battle of the Bulge, you’d have aneurism. A battle famously occured in Europe during one of the coldest snowy winter, and the finale was filmed on dry semi-arid landscape. The Allies used M4 Sherman tanks in larger numbers, but the film used M24 Chaffees as if they were more ubiquitous. You don’t need to be nerd on WWII but having the basic knowledge of conflict would make one cringe of the film’s deliberate errors. Ridley Scott’s Napoleon was somehow more tolerable and given a pass because Scott never intended the film to be taken aa seriously.
- Comment on The time and expense of commuting is theft, if that job can be done from home. 3 weeks ago:
There is a study that showed workers don’t mind commuting so long as the route is full of greenery and nature. That explains a lot because in my hometown, I was happy enough to commute in public transport and people are nice enough that you can chat with them. Then I moved to a bigger city, which is a concrete jungle. I hate the commute. And mind you, the public transport in my home town is about ten to twenty minutes more depending on the traffic, but I didn’t mind for some reason. Then, after moving to a bigger city, travelling only for one hour feels like a long trek.

- Comment on Evolution: 🖕 3 weeks ago:
In all seriousness, human elderlies are actually evolutionary anomaly, because if Darwinian tenet of “survival of the fittest” applies 100% of the time, they would not be the norm. But the fact that old people are prevalent in human society is the proof that we are compassionate and loving creatures that transcend cold evolutionary programming. We care for others and the vulnerable.
- Comment on In a first, Google has released data on how much energy an AI prompt uses 4 weeks ago:
I use DuckDuckGo. I use its AI features mainly for stock projections and to search for information on company earnings release. Because when I try to search for earnings schedule for myself, I get conflicting information. DDG AI is actually pretty useful to read troves of webpages and find the relevant information for me in that regard.

- Comment on 🤡 We've all been played for fools. 🤡 4 weeks ago:
With so many things going on in life outside of work and academics, there is only so much you could research and pay attention to to fully know what you could get into. Only practical experience will tell you if it’s worth it. As they say, experience is the best teacher. And even then, don’t regret and blame yourself. You made the decision based on what was the best available information at the time. I tell this to any people who tend to be anxious about decisions.
