- 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.
