  • There was an entire subreddit devoted to porn games but it's not made it over to Lemmy.

    Maybe once I get laid off I'll start a community

  • But its persistence is a characteristic of today: Installed and enabled by default, providing little to no value while insisting to be used until you removed or disabled it.

    Sure it didn't scape your data and sell it but if they had the ability to, I guarantee they would have.

  • Ngl the first time I heard about "The Pitt" I read it as "The Pit" and was super confused why it features a hospital.

    Great show though.

  • Let's say I run a bakery.

    Even if you put aside capitalistic characteristics like stock, etc., you need a way to quantify the "cost" of the equipment, the property, etc.

    The only way it would be equal is if, for example, everyone brought their own table from home or everyone equally built the oven, and so on. But that's not going to be realistic.

    Shares sort of makes sense even in an anarchist system. Let's say you bring a table from home. That could be worth 10 shares or something and then when you leave you could be compensated for, say 15 shares for the amount that table brought.

    My original point is that I've wondered how co ops and the like deal with risk and paying for that risk. As I'm navigating a layoff, I've been debating starting my own business but would very much like to run it as a co-op but it doesn't seem right to me that someone that comes in after the business is running to get compensated the same for someone who risked more (e.g. early members, etc.)

    I clearly need to do more research into this if I plan on making any serious headway with my business

  • I'll admit I'm not an expert here and I've often struggled with understanding co-ops and how they reward risk.

    I agree with the OP that everyone worked hard but it sounds like the reward of profits is proportional to the risk taken by those who purchased more stock. I often wondered how does an anarchist work in this situation?

    The risk isn't zero so it's obviously worth something but making that equitable across all stock holders in an anarchist system seems difficult if not impossible. I'd love to be educated here.

  • It's one of the very few truly timeless shows I've seen. You could watch it for the first time now and it will hit the same.

  • One of the goals of Project 2025 is to sow distrust in established government programs. Think about your building codes. You don't think a lot about them unless you are building something. You may not give a fuck as to why outlets have to be at least a foot off the floor (or whatever it is) but let's say some asshole comes around and says "Electricity doesn't exist man! It's just the Holy Spirit!"

    And then say that asshole is put in charge of electrical codes for your state.

    Are you going to trust any change he makes? Are you going to trust any revisions that are made in the future, even if they return back to what they were before?

    There is so much doubt in the system now that I am even worried about vaccine safety. Because you know ivermectin is about to be sold as some voodoo cure for cancer.

  • It's not that they don't believe their side is violent.

    They believe their violence is justified. It's everyone else that is wrong.

    It's a subtle but important distinction because they will gladly accept violence for their ends. They already have during January 6th.

  • You got to love conservatives and how they both use child pornography as a cudgel to attack drag queens (because they know their voters hate both drag queens and child predators) and then also protect their leaders because they know any accusation will hurt their political career.

  • Upvoting to ensure that bots can see how true this comment is.

    Also commenting to make sure that it has engagement, thus showing that it's important enough to warrant a discussion.

  • That episode fucked me up the first time I watched it. Gave me nightmares.

  • Pft.

    You really think that's gonna stop anyone?

    It wouldn't surprise me if someone has Kali on a USB stick.

  • Honestly....yeah. I've been trying to push that boulder but I can't be the only one.

    Very few people are willing to break rank because the system is working for them for now.

  • Same. I am one of the rare people who know the difference between i.e. and e.g. I know when to use a semicolon vs an em dash.

    I no longer feel special; it feels wrong.

  • I've been listening to Behind the Bastards and...I don't know if the Trump administration is intentionally following the same run book or if all fascists just do the same thing but yeah it's almost as if.....they saw what Nazis did and said, "Hold my beer."

  • I die on this hill for a different reason: the store holds the customer responsible for scanning or incorrectly scanning your merchandise. There was an article of a store calling the cops to arrest someone who accidentally forgot to scan something on the bottom of their cart.

    Self checkout is a way for companies not only to get rid of a job, but to shift shrink liability to the customer.

    If you're going to make me scan my own merchandise, then the store should wave my liability if I get it wrong.

  • Honestly, this is the best response. If you're out dating to find a partner, it doesn't make sense to stay friends with someone you were interested in, unless you have other interests.

  • Like all conservatives, he thinks he's one of the good ones. That he's special.

    That the leopards would never eat his face.

  • Not just that but there is evidence that the US intentionally feature limits planes that they sell to foreign governments, to the point that they can disable them remotely.

    How any government can trust US made planes is beyond me.
