"Tell massive heartless corporation to not make every single penny possible!"
Corporation: "We must say with a heavy heart that we've lost our communications department. They all died of hysterical laughter after receiving a request to put people over profit."
If they didn't have projection, hypocrisy, and a perpetual victim complex would they really be MAGA Republicans anymore?
It's unreal how the "Party of Personal Responsibility" is chock full of people who NEVER accept the consequences of their actions...
Are you saying that Lemmy does have those algorithms? Because this shit is never boring lol so many instances I never wanted to see or know existed...
Slightly related: how many freaking instances of "yiff" shit do we need!? I couldn't believe I was STILL seeing it after I blocked like 7 separate instances lol
Some Americans worship cops as a part of their political identity. They're the "Free-thinkers" that all seem to act identically and get their opinions handed down to them from US Reich wing media and internet personalities.
One thing about this post though is that the police DO protect and serve, it's just who they're protecting and serving (hint: it's the wealthy and their businesses)
Countdown to "malaria is a Biden Fake Disease™©®! Fire Fauchi! My guy can't do anything wrong, it's the world that's wrong! Fake Disease!"
This is exactly our problem.
Yes yes Trump is absolutely an issue, but it's propaganda outlets that are ruining the country. I have no solution to that problem. It's important to have a free press, but they are 100% taking advantage of that.
They stupidly set the stage for people like Trump, but they think they're just doing R vs D shit so they can get their asshole of choice into power. Well the people tend to get more crazy than anyone would prefer so you open the door for them and you have no control over who enters.
Oh wow I would have neverrrrr thought letting the federalist society pack the courts with their shit picks would possibly end up like this! Never I say!
...ughhh
I feel like when confronted about a "stolen comedy bit" a lot of these people complaining would also argue that "no work is entirely unique, everyone borrows from what already existed before." But now they're all coming out of the woodwork for a payday or something... It's kinda frustrating especially if they kill any private use too...
I believe it's also largest in dollar amount by a long shot.

Just a quick search found something from 2018 so don't crucify me if it's not accurate anymore lol
That shit makes me so angry it's crazy... Socialism for the corporations, "rugged individualism" for the citizens...
Republicans will scream and cry about socialism when we discuss healthcare, but gladly give corporations all the public money/wealth they could possibly want while also allowing them to charge us for the "product" they create...
Democracy didn't fail us, corporate media fucked us.
A very large portion of what any of us know about a given politician or policy is from corporate media and they absofuckinglutley have a desired outcome even if it's as simple as using misleading ragebait just to get views. It leaves us less capable of making good decisions.
But what about Bitwarden? What you say about the breach is exactly what I'm worried about when having ONE source that has EVERY password. At least now I have different passwords for different sites so only one can be affected, it's just a pain in the ass to have to go look them up. I save a portion of my passwords with cryptic messages that only I understand.
I can't think of anything that hasn't been hacked, I feel like it's just a matter of time before these password sites are too if they haven't already. :/
I think he would have had to be convicted of that. Even though it's exactly what he did, he hasn't been convicted of anything really. The only shit that ever sticks with him are low stakes civil cases he can just throw money at...
I spent hours with my mother explaining a scientific paper that was paraded around YouTube with the usual half-assed reading they do, and that fucker even ended with "don't trust me, read for yourself!" Which naturally no one does as "well he told me to look so he can't be lying."
Yeah well he was at best just dense and didn't understand, but more than likely capitalizing on sensational bullshit...
No, the Chinese are not trying to create a super deadly COVID variant Mr.Campbell...
It's the Vegeta hairline! I got mine at fucking 26... So now I just buzz my hair super short. I definitely miss being able to grow long hair and not look like I'm completely in denial lol
So... Putin can't take Ukraine and is losing a not insignificant part of their military capabilities and yet we're concerned that we're going to deal with more war with Russia? Are they going to be coming after Europeans with sharpened sticks?
designed to smuggle progressive attitudes toward climate change, and diversity and inclusion, into executive suites and corporate boardrooms
Ex-fucking-cuse me?
We've reached "helping puppies is literally devil worship" from these fucking psychos....
Diversity and inclusion... The act of not excluding people unnecessarily, that is a bridge too far for these hate-filled wastes of oxygen?
"I want to live in a world where corporations dictate the viability of our planet for life, where anyone can discriminate against anyone for any reason, and where we are all completely identical in skin color and culture."
That's the Republican utopia? Holy shit "conservatives" look in the mirror and ask yourself if you're the bad guy here before you go vote. (Spoiler: you are if you support them)
One of those pieces of shit was literally quoted saying fox fucking news was a good model to follow... That they have "real journalism" surrounded by opinion shows...
Yeah guy, and if you paid any attention at all you'd know that Fox viewers HATED the real journalists like Shepard Smith because he had to actually read news and not orders handed down as to what to say...
CNN is just going to be Fox lite soon enough... Just what we needed. Not one less propaganda outlet, but one more terrible one...
I think everyone outside of the MAGA cult fear a second term...
Dangerous, selfish, vindictive, manipulative, and stupendously stupid. Real class act that one.
It's propaganda meant to put the stooges for the ultra wealthy in power so I wouldn't be surprised to see it elsewhere in the world. They have NO policies other than "cut expenditures for the wealthy" (taxes, regulations, etc) so they have to use propaganda outlets to foment a culture war that they can then "fight for you" to get your vote.
I do have hard feelings for those that succumb to the propaganda as they have to want some of these hateful things, but I REALLY LOATHE the propagandists. There is no word in the English language that properly conveys just how much hatred I have for them, people like Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson. I don't like to wish death on anyone, but god would the world be a better place without them and people like them.
Or more infuriating is when I AM searching Google and the results bring me to some asshat saying "Just google it bruh."
While true, my theory is that they might also want something else. I use a plate and sometimes she'll just beg for more anyway even if half of what I gave her is still in the bowl, I'll give her a tiny bit of something else and she'll go eat that instead lol
I've never seen the word tankie more in my life than I have since joining Lemmy and I had been on reddit for over 11 years lol
It's looking more and more depressing on that front too...
Apparently we're discovering that our type of star system with its long periods of stability and lack of local disruptive bodies is incredibly, incredibly, rare... There are a (literal) astronomical amount of systems out there so there's no way we're the only one with life, but it's really looking like there could only be a "handful" of others out there :/
Believe it or not, jail!
This is exactly what has me irritated about this whole nonsense... People have been doing that since Photoshop existed, but big scary AI is in the news now so we are going to attack it full force because people are using it in the way they've used everything that has similar capabilities...
Still no action on our actual issues though, just some performative bullshit to assist the truly needy of our society, billionaires...
A-fucking-men... We're ALREADY paying for it as a nation... Why the fuck do companies get to socialize costs and privatize profits... If I make a certain amount of money I'm no longer eligible for government assistance.
If we need these things for society to function then FORCE THEM or NATIONALIZE them... But nope, the only thing palatable for "BoTh SiDeS" is to throw money at private companies and watch as the 3 letter chucklefucks and board-parasites buy more vacation homes...
The problem is that you basically need to have those conversations about wages in an email otherwise the company will still fire you for it, but claim it was just about "poor performance" or "insubordination" so they can't get in trouble for it... Hell I could even see a corporation arguing that your email conversation about wages wasn't "professional use of email directly related to their work" so there's pretty much always a way for them to skirt that law :(
That's why they increased the price. They know soon you won't have a choice
I love that I have the option to vote for people on specific platforms in NY. I can show support for the Working Families Party while still voting for Democrats as the politicians can run under multiple parties so I'm not just tossing away a vote just to send a message
I knew it was that douchenozzle... I couldn't tell for sure, but of course he would say "Take the picture from the floor to make me look like a Real Man™." Lol
I'm "technically/mechanically inclined" as they say, but formally, "professionally," I'm just a worthless factory worker schmuck lol
Breakfast cereal has evolved into a "new" market for candy makers... Reese's cereal?? Just brand it as breakfast and people somehow think they're not feeding their kids candy for breakfast... I used to buy that kind of stuff for a dessert snack lol
No no no you don't get it, if we just remain on our high horse and keep the white gloves on, if we just say please a few more times, they'll finally stop acting like fascist children! We can't do something or the moderates might think we've gone too far by actually doing something and we'll lose them to the childish fascists.
"Inaction is positive action!" -some moron probably.
I have absofuckinglutley no faith whatsoever in our society to do the right thing in this respect. We value ownership waytoofuckingmuch when it comes to businesses, were never going to get past the argument of "I put forward the capital for this business, I am entitled to all of the profits. Who cares that there is no work for you? No work no pay."
I forsee a gigantic increase in homelessness and politicians will use that as an excuse to further cut any social spending as they'll pin all our issues on "communist policies." :(
They say conscious beings are how the universe gets to know itself, so I AM the cosmos!
Take the upvote! :P
"Then there’s no journalistic accountability when they do get caught with their hand in the cookie jar."
Literally Fox News Entertainment when brought to court over Tucker Carlsons bullshit...
"We're not news we're Entertainment™©®, no reasonable person would believe what Mr.Carlson is saying is true." So they don't need to have any integrity whatsoever...
I saw a post "Lemmy seems to have way more leftists than xyz." So I wouldn't be surprised to find it's political nonsense, people attacking a site they see as "the left."
Not so fun fact: the constitution allows for slavery as long as it's a punishment for a crime.
Hmmm... Nah, those dots don't connect at all.
