• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"You exist to make money for us"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Money seems to get in the way of everything. We need a new middleman.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the self?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a constant battle between cogito ergo sum and esse est percipi.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It used to be a place for the working stiffs to gather and was priced accordingly. Nowadays capitalization has been overused to the point where a lot of businesses are pricing themselves out of customers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are people using the "þ" character?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It looks suspiciously Cyrillic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Banana⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I like how the person is placing a banana to show scale/size.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bought to you by the central limit theorem society⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s why polls are meaningless even though they are referenced, followed and reported on. Nothing is statistically significant anymore. Publish any shit that supports your position, just add a “+/-” percentage number at the end and it’ll look “professionalish”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump claims ​‘wind mills’ kill whales but quietly torpedoes the science⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Trump kills hope. Which is worse?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some good uses the new ballroom can have after the Trump regime is over?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  We could probably take the ballroom apart very carefully and use the materials to rebuild the east wing but, once started, we’d discover that trumpy cut corners like hell to line his pockets even more and the ballroom is just a pig shell of nothingness, but with golden lipstick.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientists have been studying remote work for four years and have reached a very clear conclusion: “Working from home makes us thrive”⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, I don’t need saving, but others do. There is no such thing as a superhero but I agree…there is lots of bureaucracy and administration! Going through proper channels while the world burns is not something I put a whole lot of faith in when the first knee-jerk response to anything is the economic cost. Sometimes the people have to get involved, not the systems (which are decidedly lacking nowadays).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are We Living in a Golden Age of Stupidity? - Slashdot⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess, yes? When social engineering is stronger than free will and common sense then I’d call that gullible/stupid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientists have been studying remote work for four years and have reached a very clear conclusion: “Working from home makes us thrive”⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Having a purpose makes us thrive. In some cases, it could be work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientists have been studying remote work for four years and have reached a very clear conclusion: “Working from home makes us thrive”⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Now we need a genius architect to covert all of that office space into homes for the homeless. That includes changing any laws that would prevent that from happening.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As Microsoft Forces Users to Ditch Windows 10, It Announces That It’s Also Turning Windows 11 into an AI-Controlled Monstrosity⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m hoping I can last one more month with my Win10 laptop. After that I’ll have the time to see if UNIX is the way to go. My laptop is almost 10 years old so I’m not sure if that would be like putting lipstick on an old pig or not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Huge internet outage live blog: Amazon, Disney+, Hulu, HBO Max and more experiencing issues⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I was judging the union, not the working stiffs. Still rude though I guess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nobody has ever lit a cigarette because of happiness. Smoking is a anxiety-coping mechanism.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Once addicted, there is nothing more pleasant than coming outside into the sunshine and lighting up that cigarette you’ve been craving for a few hours.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Huge internet outage live blog: Amazon, Disney+, Hulu, HBO Max and more experiencing issues⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Like union guys on an automobile assembly line but holy crap do they ever get paid well!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Richest American to FAFO?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I see him more as a south african with pretensions of ideologically becoming an american, regardless of his papers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It seems that out in the real world and here in the digital world we have been allowed/engineered to lose our civility and respect. Reminds me of the rock orchestra DEVO.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US news outlets refuse to sign new Pentagon rules to report only official information⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Good news but those media companies (all of them) are out of control, glorifying hate for dollars.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨THE CRAZY PILLS⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They are currently working on a vaccine for TDS. /s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Happy Weekend Murica⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Every day scraping more and more wealth from the populace. Trump is raking it in. Greedy fucker that he is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TRUMP⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The U.S.A’s Age of Grace and Class. /s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am attempting to get into self hosting after a shockingly frightening experience. I am very lost though.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Goddamned inflation. It used to be just 2 cents worth!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When did Cash for Chritianity become a thing? When even Jesus the son of god wouldn't stand for it in a church? If they preach why don't they practice from the bible?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think that a shiny golden calf will always trick the good into becoming the bad. Trump splashing that gilded gold shit everywhere made him quite successful. /s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Texas National Guard arriving in Chicago⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Phew! No beards.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft is plugging more holes that let you use Windows 11 without an online account⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This “subscription” mentality is ruining value for a lot of society but, holy shit, do you ever rake in those huge amounts of monthly cash, for very little work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SPOOPY SEASON HATH ARRIVED⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That RFK is wacky!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do companies always need to grow?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Shareholder demand? Greed? Probably a lot of both.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨These mugs are getting out of hand⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If only we could somehow fit even more plastic into this then we’d be getting rid of those plastics from being used elsewhere. /s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox: "Price Increases Are Never Fun For Anybody"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Especially for the companies who disappear because they were too greedy.
