I would have been surprised if a directionless, powerless in the shadow of his family, smug rich kid didn’t subscribe to some macho bullshit snake oil salesman offering him some feeling of legitimacy for being shitty. And of course the redpill carnival barker is going to latch on to the useless rich kid because of his family.
C u there
Without the ! it’s more informal and friendly.
Probably alcohol of some kind?
When you have a case full of hammers you’re gonna want to find a nail.
Ah, the 'ol 1984 “quintuple plus good.”
Yeah. He’s made many comments in the past where it’s quite clear he views himself as king, anything he views as against the State is against him, anything he wants is what the State wants.
Off line? Who is being a grammar Nazi IRL?
So perversely chatbots are increasing people’s vocabulary because people read so few books anymore and most of their word usage comes from what they read online?
Forgot the “I didn’t do nuthin’, why are you attacking me?!” in panel 5.
“Everyone” meaning the social media someone and their social set get their info and cues from, not the rest of the people around them.
Should be a full stop with “profit”. All the shitty things that go with companies chasing it.
Because squeezing the workers while doing more causes the line to go up faster than just doing more with added overhead costs. They cannot think past quarterly reports.
Hasn’t P2025 indicated the opposite? They want more births (gutting abortion rights and making birth control difficult to access) so they can have a stupid cheap surplus of labor?
Assume whatever makes you feel better.
Yep. It was headed downhill with the bots, reposts, karma farmers, hive-mind, troll farms, and of course the reddit c-suite “purging” the site of things like WPD, morbid reality, spacedicks (yeah, not subs for everyone, but noetheless…not hurting anyone), getting rid of Victoria, getting rid of mods and leaving petty power mongers and sycophants in place, and allowing shit like The_Donald and similar subs to run unchecked. The forced commercialization, crushing of protest and reddit app was the final straw.
Thank you. That would be lovely. I find LED’s flicker sometimes and are too “hard”, they lack the softer, more yellow profile of incandescents.
Probably what his rant is all about.
Anyone care to sum up in a few sentences what this 20+ minute video is all about?
E: fucking lemmy, lol. Don’t watch youtube! Google sucks! Use alternatives! /asks for a quick summary so as to avoid youtube: lemmy: “Downvote!1!1”
Of course he does.
Some people view a label as an ending. They put people into the box. Think no further, end of story. AKA “stereotype”. How you treat the person you just labeled with implicit bias forces them into that box because of your expectations and biases, conscious or otherwise.
Other people, who might pause for a second when they hear a label, will mentally decompress the label with tools like nuance and understand that the label isn’t monolithic. It’s a starting point. Not a stopping point. People are a spectrum. So if someone says they’re an introvert, we know they probably aren’t into crowded bars or large social situations. But you don’t get to tell them “If you don’t use the label you will change.”
It’s how you use the label when you interact with them, not how they use the label for themselves.
Just replace the frogs with corn and this was Lemmy for a few days.
