Not me but a friend worked at a start up that was acquired by a bigger competitor. The new CEO stated in their first company wide meeting that he believes the ideal employee is a 'unicorn'. One who eats, sleeps and lives in the office working long hours. CEO laughed at people who asked about their benefits which were being reduced to the minimum (this is the UK so we have minimums but the startup originally had unlimited holidays etc). The CEO took over the board with a misogynistic vibe, all women left and then the guys followed.

Wow we kept finding ways to slowly kill not only our planet but future generations too

This does make me think. I remember the days where I would turn up at the library to read books. With my phone, I can read and learn but instead I doom scroll.

And unfortunately there are fresh breakups every day. So for some it's been a while but others it's been 24 hours.

Absolutely. Any publicity is good publicity for them. Stats are used to tell their story to shareholders

Create a fund and use the dividends to fund free healthcare. Rather than spend it all in one go, I want it to continue generating a stable fund to keep things going.

It's not who but what, we should be passing judgement on. The act itself is bad no matter who does it.

Agreed. Too ambiguous. Plus the photo makes it seem like she lived! WTF

We knew and yet it's still so infuriating

I know someone who bought a flat which likely be flooded in 40 years time.

I just woke my baby up with my laugh, just spent an hour getting them to sleep. Lol

It's a healing process.

Was a lurker on most subreddits, a lot of things I wanted to comment likely had been said so I would just upvote them. Whilst right now (still getting my head round the instances), I feel more inclined to comment when there are low comment volumes.

There is no dog. He calls his alter ego "dog".

Previously on Reddit, I would read posts for the comments but without good posts you won't generate good comments. Even on Lemmy, when I see a post with lots of comments - it's more attractive than a post with two comments. Though now on Lemmy, I feel more encouraged to leave a comment here or there.

In the UK, NHS issues me the prescriptions. I don't l{ok at brands

This made me chuckle more than I expected haha

Egg and crispy seaweed

I had trouble with sync so I uninstalled and came to lemmy

Wow that guy died first. How deluded

Yeah, plus this club is ever growing with ex-redditors. It'll be topical news for a while yet.

The truth hurts

Oh, when I posted, I only saw one other comment (so I'd thought I'd add to the comment count). I'm still new to this federated thing, maybe I can't see all comments?

And then there's eutherians (placental mammals)
