it's about the scale at which these items are consumed - eating meat every day was pretty much unheard of until the advent of capitalism

As a game dev who's making a better game with worse graphics - i think people who say this are in the minority, unfortunately.

i wonder why lol

after the friendship pandas??? joe how could u

also the text on the shirt, keyboard and overall framing

god it's so refreshing that the IOF doesn't have a posting presence on lemmy

i feel like i used to feel that way but grew out of it as i got older

communism requires capitalism to exist ... at its invention, capitalism was the cutting edge that allowed massive economies to form. free market capitalism allowed the creation of extremely complex and vast logistical networks that did not exist prior.

this is not some sort of "capitalism vs communism" thing. this is saying that capitalism was miles more efficient and liberating than anything that came before it. inshallah whatever comes after it will continue the trend

:(

i was just thinking this too... easy enough to see who we have defederated but idk bout the inverse ... following !

that's pretty much the definition of tech debt

not sure the distinction between null and undefined is doing anything for me here

as a zoomer who had access to porn at a young age, that shit was not good for me at all. i think it's pretty fair to suggest that people below the age of 13 should not be looking at porn - but i wouldn't even know how one could even go about actually regulating it

nothing 😎

capitalism has led to never before seen economies of scale, allowing for dirt cheap food prices never before seen in history. if we were to look at capitalism through that metric and that metric only then it would be wildly popular...

i feel like this falls apart pretty quickly lol

i'm doubting there will be a large exodus... why wouldn't they be here already?

i'm glad we've all decided to ignore rule 10 😁

definitely not agreeing with Yinchie as i think more humans = more innovation = less climate change, but i think it's important to remember that corporations serve the people generally... the reason these corporations exist is because of market demand from people, individual human people

what's KF?

tbf the jokes were very much on the nose back when the show first aired too...

does taco bell really make people shit all that much? i feel like i have never noticed such an effect...

oops

nobody reads theory anymore 😔

this has downvotes because people are afraid of the truth

my understanding was that affirmative action is about creating a diverse student body

maybe in the past, but i did that a few years ago and switch between the dot and not

because prior to the advent of capitalism the priorities were not on the consumer, but on the aristocracy. while the end results of free market capitalism are clearly destroying the planet, it is insanely more equitable than anything that came before it.

the economies of scale exist due to the consumer pressure, which didn't exist in other market systems.

i don't get why people are downvoting that. i'm not saying capitalism is the best thing in the world and nothing will ever be better than it. i'm saying it allowed people to eat more meat and is democratic compared to feudalism or mercantilism

a genuine answer from an arab who spends a lot of time around arabs:

the thought is if we don't vote for biden now, it shows that there is an important bloc of people for whom support of palestine is non negotiable.

while this means a win for trump in 2024, in 2028 it means the democrats will have to run an anti genocide candidate if they want to win

i have never written a unit test for a personal project in my life it's not worth the overhead imo

commented this elsewhere, but the general idea is that by showing that an important contingent of the left won't vote for a pro genocide president, the democrats will have no choice but to run a candidate that is electable in the future.

this means that trump might be president in 2024. That sucks, but most of the damage has already been done (supreme court, senate, etc). Might as well show the dems that they have to run a candidate that supports the rights of civilians all around the globe
