Disability accomodation requests are sent to the professor at the beginning of each semester so he would know which students use accessibility tools
- Comment on Is American politics really as seemingly satirical of itself as it is portrayed? 4 weeks ago:
The US only have right wing parties. Neolib dems and fascist Repubs are both right wing parties.
- Comment on Amazon tech workers leaving for other jobs in response to return to office mandate 1 month ago:
I am pretty sure working from home has proven to be more productive, so I think other factors are at play here. I worry that returning to the office might be the only way to keep the capitalists from trying to send our jobs over to poorer nations. If the tapeworms think the job needs to be done face to face then it is much hardet to send those jobs to India or S. America.
- Comment on The Insurance Apocalypse Is Upon Us 1 month ago:
Maybe some conservatives are secretly cheering for climate change to ravage 3rd world countries, maybe, but most billionaires (capitalists) don’t actually want people to die. They aren’t cartoon villians, they’re just selfish assholes who don’t care enough about anyone else to see past their quarterly profits. A malignant cancer isn’t trying to kill the host, it is just growing and hording resources as aggressively as it can. Capitalism works the same way.
- Comment on The Extreme Cost of Training AI Models. 1 month ago:
I want to see what the long term economic cost was after they fired tens of thousands of tech workers hoping to replace us with AI. It feels like workers are always the ones who suffer the most under capitalism.

“Arbeit macht frei” (work will set you free).
- Comment on Raise Wages? No Need — McDonald’s Is Hiring Inmates Instead 1 month ago:
Welp, I am never eating at McDonald’s ever again. I’m going to give up all minimum wage food chains while I am at it. Wage slavery makes me lose my appetite.

Considering how the US’s CIA will infiltrate leftist groups to undermine and break those groups up, would that make the US an authoritarian state? And if someone passively enables authoritarianism through complacency then does that not make them authoritarians by default?
Read up on Operation Gladio if you want a peak at how deeply fascist / authoritarian the US truly is: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Gladio

Couldn’t that be said of any and all groups? A few bad posters has soured me on the lemm.ee instance, but would it be logical or fair or me to assume that a few bad experiences reflects an entire group?

I am not from ML nor do I have a Hexbear alt of any sort, but I defend Hexbear’s right to be different. They seem to be a younger group of anti-capitalists so I find their perspectives interesting.

Can you get narrower car lanes? Trying to cross an 8 lane stroad that has 12ft wide lanes in the middle of town is hellish.

I’m more interested in how long before we freeze to death.
Kurzegesagt did a great video on this thought experiment: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLZJlf5rHVs&t=1

People are more willing to engage in a positive way and not algorithmically trained to hate.
This times 100x. It is almost as if Reddit, Youtube and Facebook are all possessed by Cyber-Succubuses that intentionally suck the life out of you just to drive up their ad revenue.

Nobody talks about reddit in daily conversation like insta, tiktok, youtube, or even facebook. The majority of people on the internet do not know it exists.
The movie “Good on paper” had a joke about Reddit, but the joke basically implied that Reddit is full of sexist incels… so I get the feeling that most people have heard of Reddit but that Reddit is not viewed very favorably by the average person.
- Comment on He really wants to kill that platform lol 3 months ago:
Even when Reddit exploded in popularity there were still plenty of great, but smaller, communities. I really enjoyed being part of Reddit until the API changes when all the decent moderators quit. The quality of Reddit went off a cliff shortly after that happened.
So I think Lemmy will be fine even if it explodes in popularity. Capitalist greed that betrayed the OG members and mods who built Reddit is what is making Reddit a cess pool, not the number of users.

I hope that won’t last for long. I made a joke that Reddit was circling the drain with how hateful and political every subreddit was becoming and then they permanently banned all of my accounts. 10 years on reddit, 10 years of putting effort into my posts and comments with over 250k total karma and I was banned for a half serious joke. My appeal was instantly denied as well. It was unreal. After the API changes that was the final straw for me. Fuck Reddit. I was joking before but now I really am hoping that the company sinks.
