Just like they came after me for my curiosity in biology when I vivisected my neighbors’ cat.

Yeah I don’t care for them. Had fun when I was a kid but that was before we all had computers in our pocket.
People on Lemmy can’t afford cars and are too frightened by intimacy to conceive any children
There’s less people living in poverty today than ever before. We all carry around super computers that connect us with our loved ones at all times and contain all of human knowledge. If you’re over 5’8 and weigh more than 145 pounds then you’re physically better off than the average US soldier during WW2. Diseases that used to kill millions every year are now close to eradication.
Don’t mistake your increased awareness of global issues as things getting worse. This is the best time in human history to be alive. Anyone telling you different is looking at a very specific aspect of the past with rose tinted glasses.
A Lib Dem official opposition would be amazing
I’m Canadian
Defending Taiwan against communist China has been US foreign policy since Harry Truman was in office.
I agree, and honestly a rebranding would go a long way to improving its appeal to the average person
If a democrat fucks up, that’s big news because they’re supposed to have their shit together and act in the best interest of all of us.
If a republican fucks up, that’s expected. Any articles about that are like ‘water is wet’. It’s not informative because we all know, even the conservatives who vote for them, that they’re in it for themselves and are out to get everyone else.
Lol no one wants war with another nuclear power.
I’m a different person. I’m not pissed, I’m just making casual conversation.
Communism and capitalism as they were described in the literature both died in 93 and 08 respectively.
Just like the current capitalist system in the US cannot function without massive subsidies and bailouts, I’d imagine the current communist systems require private enterprises to keep parts of their system functioning.
Does the United States having food stamps and public education make it a socialist country?
Opinions on Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy?
Sounds like maybe what you don’t like is British humour.
Here’s the deal: these people aren’t being laid off because the company is losing money, they are being laid off because the company is not making as much money as it predicted it would last quarter.
Now, not making as much money as you thought while still being profitable is not a bad thing except for one person: the c-level executive.
The c-level has profit targets he needs to hit to unlock a huge bonus. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are at stake for him, that one individual.
So these hundreds of people aren’t losing their jobs so the company can thrive and be healthy. They’re losing their jobs so one person can make hundreds of thousands of dollars more on top of their existing salary which was always guaranteed to them.
Americans would rather vote for a pedophile than a weak old man
Maybe one not conducted by a former democratic press secretary
I would say the US got along better with China until American citizens started to get freaked out that there was another country that was becoming a bigger economic and military power than they were.
China can make one phone call and collapse the price of oil and gas?
I just know from the level I’ve worked at multiple companies that leadership doesn’t really care. DEI is another box to check for the shareholders to feel good about themselves.
I’m confused, are you saying places with DEI policies don’t actually hire more black or gay employees and just pretend like they do, or that they do hire more diverse employees but the management don’t really care about that and are just hiring more diverse employees because they think that protects them from lawsuits?
Has there ever been a time, place, or political system where this was not always the case?
