Maybe kindess has to be respected. Otherwise if you behave like a monster all your life, you kind of deserve the monstrosity thrown back at you.

Why are you inventing some kind of signal jammer?

Yes actually. Unlike you I am not ignorant of better examples. You should try to take your head out of your ass every now and then.

No need to convince anyone. Trump presidency ensures their will is implemented.

Its sarcasm. All the theatre about voting third party doesn’t make sense because people could shut up and do that if they feel they want to make a change. The loud noise is most likely coming from people trying to derail one candidate or the other.

I appreciate you not escalating in response to my snarky comment with more snark or sarcasm.

On the subject: I agree that the system needs to motivate certain behaviors and disincentives others. But from the current point onwards in our cursed reality… I see no way this transition to such a system does not involve a violent revolution/uprising. I don’t see how we can even maintain such a system in the future without threat of violence towards those that put profits before everything else. I believe this because it took violence to take back 40 hour work weeks and paid vacations. Those seem trivial compared to a system overhaul from the current starting point.

You sweet summer child. You think billionaires don’t control things?

If you have to defer to the law as justification for doing something purely selfish… then people will judge you to be an asshole.

Edit: Not you personally.

I do the same… and i guess i am burnt out by lack of interesting and consistent work to do.

aspects of my job I absolutely hate:

1. Maintaining a DLL( or shared object) in a large piece of software where my team’s scope is so narrow that we are just a conduit between two other processes. bugs get introduced by behavioral changes from upstream or downstream.

2. No real exiciting problem to solve.

I learnt Compiler design, Complexity theory, Concurrency, Algorithms, etc in college. But I look at bad code that does if (boolvar) return 1; else return 0;

3. Constantly get shuffled around on tasks by my manager who goes into panic mode if his supervisor asks about something.

Its essentially a trade of your soul for writing emails.

It doesnt get boring hearing about how judges demolish bodily autonomy of women and commit other atrocities in the name of corporate freedom.

Nah… the british have a propensity for treating different people badly.

Its fair game because my comment got removed on lemmy.world for criticizing Israel.

Without western money your society will have collapsed a long while ago.

Spoken like a typical dumb American. The world has seen more prosperity and wealth before the west plundered it all.

Rules for not losing election*:

1. Don’t insult the intelligence of your voters by calling them double haters.
2. Don’t insult the intelligence of your voters by pretending that they won’t remember that you supported a genocidal maniac. No, the opposition being worse doesn’t excuse your depravity.
3. Don’t insult the intelligence of your voters by beating them with the stick of facism. They already understand what’s on the line. Debating online is different from voting.

*Does not apply to conservatives who worship Trump

Feels like sam secretly wishes this to be true

I guess they are saying that if you speak to a person of lower caste, especially of dark skin you will understand their struggle. (But I am a naive person so my explanation might be hopelessly optimistic about people)

There’s also the 2nd level of hell that is being born in the right sub-caste in a specific caste.

Biology is more complicated than your poor attempts to draw lines and parcel up stuff nicely so your brain won’t hurt. Transgender people have existed from before you were born.
