  • Why don’t more people start profit-sharing companies or co-ops?

    Jump

  • I think a lot of people don't know what co-ops are. I have been pretty left leaning my whole life and I only found out co-ops in my late 20s and the majority of people I talked to in real life have no idea what coops are. And from that few that do know, many dont know how big cooperatives can be.

    For the uninitiated, I am sharing the [International Cooperative Alliances definition of coops here: https://ica.coop/en/cooperatives/what-is-a-cooperative

    and the list of largest coops in 2023 here: https://ica.coop/en/media/library/research-and-reviews-world-cooperative-monitor/world-cooperative-monitor-2023

    Screenshot of the top 10 coops based on turnover in USD from the report here:

  • Sit back and marvel at 14 minutes of (mostly) great bike infrastructure in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

    Jump

  • I wish I could say all of Addis is like this but it's not. The city started doing a lot of construction for better pedestrian and bike lanes earlier this year, which is where these bike lanes were built. The construction is ongoing but it seems like they've abandoned the bike lanes for some reason. The current bike lanes only cover a very limited segment of the city

  • I used to meditate alot and it has helped, using headspace in the beginning but I stopped some years ago. On the bright side I overthink much less than before but meditation couldn't hurt and would probably help

  • I definitely overthink before sleep, I'm relatively calm in the other places you listed. I never thought about where/when I overthink before, thanks for giving me a new way of framing overthinking, I will try my best not to overthink it

  • Is Lemmy your "main social media app"? If not, which one is it?

    Jump

  • Mostly on Lemmy. I'm on Mastadon too. I don't know if YouTube counts but I'm on there as well and is the only corporate social media I use consistently.

    I find myself using Instagram more but only following a handful of creators, I don't post or check on my feed. I deleted my Twitter and LinkedIn but can't get myself to delete my Meta accounts because of the people that I have contact with on there. I hardly contact ppl but the sentimentally of the connections is something

  • Amon was an idiot.

    Jump

  • Just watched the video. Couldn't agree more and suprised I hadn't noticed this earlier. The one time I noticed it happening was when watching Black Panther and wondering why Killmonger started becoming illogical and erratic after he legitimately won the throne.

    I haven't seen Falcon and the Winter Soldier, but unless I am missing some context, the line in the video here when falcon says "when things get better for one group, things always get worse for another" is just crazy! Especially having Falcon say it is even more crazy

  • Amon was an idiot.

    Jump

  • I thought the twist of Amon being a bender really undercuts that seasons story arc. The Equalists were asking a questions that makes sense in their world, benders are ridiculously more powerful than non-benders and in their world's history (at least in Aang's time) held almost all significant offices. The equalists had a fair question about how to even the play fielding for all citizens. But this question isnt answered or considered, Amon comes out at as a bender and the equalist movement is forgotten about
