I don’t know man, at this point I’m not sure what is the distraction anymore…

I mean, Trump will die in a decade max, the shit that they are doing will damage the whole world for a hundred years.

• Forcing each other to give gift we can’t afford to people that doesn’t need them and probably will end up in a landfill in 2 years time. PD: It would be really interesting to research Christmas impact on the environment.

• Forcing each other to be appear to be happy when a lot of incredibly shitty shit is happening around the world. I’d rather call it Double blindfold holiday!

• Telling a mandatory lie to kids, that is effectively their forced introduction to a society that values and encourages deception and the disconnection from reality.

Fuck Christmas!!!

You are an amazing person and I thank you for your work. It must be very challenging to foster a kitty and then part ways with them.

He looks lovely!

While I agree with most of what you said, I cannot disregard how a swift change in politics can be introduced to satisfy the wims of the billonaires. We have recent and astounding examples (USA). Sadly I don’t trust humanity anymore. I don’t have a choice but to try to live my life the best I can, but I won’t force anyone else into existence.

Have a good one you too my friend!

In some countries you are a disease away of financial bankruptcy. Good luck being able to 100% guarantee a living.

Furthermore, this is the first generation that is worse off than the previous one, and its a trend that seems will continue.

In the lucky event of being part of the select 3% that has financial security, no luxury can shield you from the pain the rest of the people is suffering.

Maybe I’m a pessimist, but introducing a child into this roulette is not the kindest if you think about it.

I agree, that’s why I called them non-working socialist states.

My point is we haven’t yet seen how well (or bad) could a socialist state work if left alone.

One reason I can think is we haven’t yet seen a working socialist society, which often fail for external reasons.

For example, the socialist government in Cuba was severely undermined by the USA imposed blockade.

A more recent example is Venezuela, while you can think what you want about its current government, I don’t think USA should interfere with any sovereign nation.

There’s almost like a pattern, like someone, somewhere doesn’t like the idea of socialism to succeed.

Is far right and meat eating leaning for sure.

Lemmy.world was affected too, how come? ಠ_ಠ

Billionaires are humanity’s cancer.

Some standing desks have an interface that can be used to setup diverse automations. For I example I made it automatically rise when it detects that it was on seating position for more than 40 minutes.

While I agree, self hosting is not an option for the average person.

I believe big tech must be forced to work for the consumer interests somehow.

One way could be introducing decentralised alternatives, that present a solid competition.

Car makers test exactly that, and for good measure since cars can and do crash!

What are you suggesting, that we buy cars that didn’t pass crash tests?

To me it seems like you arguing something similar for AI.
