Larger platform changes such as ranking content based on quality, rather than engagement, might hit at the root of the problem
Wait, we shouldn’t just let people create intentionally divisive outrage machines?
Gentle nerd freak of the pacific northwest. All nation states are vermin.

Some people love to dry hump strangers on a crowded bus or train, is that more like it?
I have to admit I don’t understand what connection this has with paying for music apps.
I’m pretty sure if you’re paying for it, that’s not love.
The real cycle is:
Rich people create hard times, hard times create more poor people, rich people create more hard times.
Didnt we already know that elon opened starlink to the russians? I thought he announced after that call with putin?
Oh yeah, I see that. No idea what I thought it said.
Yep. Pence is the one with lady blinders, like a horse, to protect him from seeing things that might scare and confuse him.
Y’all … You guys … you’re
Let’s ignore the question of what you think moralizing is if you saw it in the eight words you replied to. What I’m curious about is, do you think you’re talking to Hezbollah? On Lemmy?
part of God’s plan
Netanhayu’s not god, he’s just a brutal lying tyrant with no respect for human life - so I can see how you’d get confused.
My understanding is that a lot of the big agribusiness is structured as a monopsony - all the people farming a particular crop have only one big Ag company they all have to sell their produce to and that company sets the price low enough that the farmers doing the actual growing for Big Ag are still getting screwed.
Exactly. That’s a service that some rich people could be making profit on and here we are just giving it away for the collective good of our society. Won’t someone think of (financially screwing over) the farmers?
Peep Show also has that joke - “Slaves, Jeremy” VS “Whips, Rimmer”.
But there’s a good chance that the answer wasn’t slaves, but well paid, hard-drinking work-units, organized along the lines of boat crews, all working together during a public festival and overseen by well trained specialists.
Yep! In my experience it’s awful and it stays awful for ever.
But just like with going to work, over time you come to accept that existence is suffering.
“Chinese” mummies is a bit misleading. The Tarim Basin has a long history of Chinese rule/influence, but not that far back.
These mummies are from a unique population that descended largely from Ancient North Eurasians, a group who contributed smaller percentages of ancestry to Northern Chinese people, Europeans, Siberians and Native Americans.
So these cheese enthusiasts are less Chinese and more like distant foreign relatives to the Chinese who adopted dairy-heavy pastoralism after it expanded through the steppe.
If you like animation you have to see Son of the White Mare. It’s a gorgeous and elegant retelling of traditional Hungarian fairy tales with clever nods to a modern psychedelic sensibility.
The funny thing is that actual chinese snake oil was incredibly effective at alleviating things like joint pain or some skin conditions. It has higher concentrations of omega 3s than fish oil and has even been shown to help mice learn mazes faster.
That’s why grifters selling fake medicine all claimed it was snake oil - people already wanted snake oil because they knew it worked.
Exactly. So many peoplev still trying to analyze what the Democrats did wrong in an election they won 🙄.
Personal trainers. Watching other people exercise is not a job.
You may as well be a corporate tax accountant, a ghost writer for the rich or an email scammer in terms of the value you create for society.
Republicans accuse their opponents of eating pets and drinking the blood of children while they themselves conduct actual human sacrifices when their king faces an uncertainty battle.
I always think of white people as the ones complaining about raisins in food. So many delicious savory dishes with raisins from the Middle East or India provoke strong reactions from western pallets used to food that only does 1 thing, rather than combining multiple flavours.
