I'm done with that place.
I'm quite certain there are already people planning to do just that.
Maybe if they'd fix their work culture this wouldn't be as big of an issue.
It's really weird to see a subreddit devoted to piracy full of people who really, really don't like the idea of sticking it to this company.
I bet the Deck has a lot to do with this.
This is your world on late-stage capitalism.
If we say he's right and just pretend to go along with it, will he dismantle the insurance industry for us?
I am 26 and have been in the workforce for a few years.
In short, is there something I’m missing here, or is work-eat-sleep-repeat all there is until I retire?
Yes, except for the fact that you and I will not be able to retire.
Pay $44 billion for a brand
Literally destroy the brand
This is more baffling than accidentally destroying the brand, like he's been doing.
Based.
For all of the benefits and blessings that capitalism has given us, there are several things people need to realize:
When we talk about all the good that capitalism has done for us, that's a vanishingly small us. There are literally billions of people in the world today who are languishing in poverty that makes first-world poverty look downright lavish. Then there are those first-world impoverished, who doubtlessly do live lives of fruitless toil and abject misery. And now think about the people in centuries past -- the serfs, the slaves, the child laborers... The fact that capitalism has managed to give some comfort to some of us in some countries in the past century does not negate the immense, incalculable suffering it took to get here. And as I said, very many people today, even in modernized nations, are suffering immeasurably still.
Capitalism has overstayed its welcome regarding global crises like climate change. The profit motive seems not to be working at all, let alone with the appropriate urgency, toward the goal of saving us from the consequences of climate change. The scientific consensus largely appears to be that we're too late to sidestep a cataclysm, but this is still not enough to prompt world leaders (i.e. the rich and powerful) to step up their game.
On a more high-minded level, capitalism is inherently repugnant because the people at the top can only enrich themselves by skimming off of the rightful earnings of the ones at the bottom. This is unavoidable; how could the CEO get so rich if 100% of the laborers' value was given to them? This goes beyond the natural reality that labor is required to survive. The issue here is that rather than having organized our economy around people laboring together for their own mutual benefit, we've organized our world such that the vast majority of us labor for the benefit of the few elites who only deign to pass on a pittance once the laborers become too uppity. People who oppose capitalism do not oppose labor; they oppose the way our global society has decided to distribute its results.
Capitalism, at least in its cutthroat, largely unrestrained, American fashion, is by no means the only option we have. European countries demonstrate that capitalism can be moderated to work better for the masses, and there is no reason to believe even they've gone as far as they can. People love to jeer at communism for its many failures in implementation without seeming to realize that, as expressed above, countless people all over the world are currently suffering and starving and languishing under capitalism too.
Paying for her cab fare home sounds reasonably polite.
I think we can all agree that your right to "basic necessities" ends where my right to lucrative market speculation begins.
If Reddit moderators only removed content for the sake of keeping things on topic, people wouldn't hate the place so much. There's a reason the mods over there are so universally maligned, and it's not because they're beacons of rationality and objective reasoning.
I still think they should let it die in peace, though. Not everything needs a reboot.

Does this confirm that giraffes are brown with yellow lines, rather than yellow with brown spots? This could be huge for the giraffe community.
This is the way.
Alternative take: Piracy is, at worst, morally neutral, and does not have a significant adverse effect on the profits of the people who produce media.
While the writer wasn't obviously talking about so many different endings, it is still an impressive number of variations, highlighting how much the choices players will make will have an impact on the story up to the very end.
So, are we talking something like the equipment on the player during the ending cutscene? Without more details I don't see how this figure is supposed to be impressive.
I hope this is what the reboot is about.
They look like a demented bastardization of urinals.
That must have been devastating. I'm sorry to hear that.
I'm conflicted about this. Given how much information is locked into Reddit communities, if everyone purged their accounts we'd lose an immense amount of useful knowledge. On the other hand, that is exactly how to hit Reddit where it hurts.
Say sike right now
How would that possibly work?
Metaright@kbin.social to 
Reddit Migration@kbin.social – 1 points – If anyone ever declares that billionaires got so wealthy because they're so much inherently smarter than everyone else, just remind them of this debacle.
I wish companies would stop with subscription models.
I honestly can't really imagine anyone digging out a multitude of old consoles just to be able to play one or two titles each. If you want to play older games, surely emulation is the only feasible option for the vast majority of people.
Also, thanks for pasting the full text here!
America moment
Do you believe it's the only thing that's worked so far, or the only thing that could ever possibly work?
The way journalists and brands flocked to Threads in the hopes that it would bring back the good old days? That wasn't healthy.
The article doesn't really explain why this is the case.
Anxiety issue tbh
I agree, human.
I am the deity now!
I append "site:Reddit.com" (I know, I know) to basically every search I perform. It's the only reliable way at this point to see things written genuinely by real people.
As relatable as ever, that scamp!
I've never heard of Epiphany before. Anyone here have input?
Don't be too complacent, of course. I've seen people on the Fediverse turn feral and Reddit-esque during discussions of particular culture war issues. It's not completely peachy here all the time; there are some subjects about which some people can't help losing their composure.
We oughtta arrest the people who pave roads because human traffickers use them to commit crimes.
