No way their labor created more value than they extracted from the system. But that would be a like a free boost to GDP and prop up a larger job market benefiting citizens. No, the white man must be the victim here, i just need to figure out how…
The landlords are burning down houses on the other side of town with the renters trapped inside. Then they start doing the same in another neighborhood, then another in the city. When do you start thinking they’ll do the same to you regardless of the termites and rot?
Internal issues aren’t bigger. They’re more personally dangerous. You’re simply saying human life near you is more important than human life elsewhere. If absolutely nothing else, paying taxes makes it blood on Americans hands.
Given that the US is engaging in the wars it’s clear that not all Americans are fully aware. I mean there are still a ton of conservatives who are pro-Zionism.
That said i know the left is growing and stronger every day. I know there’s people trying to fix things. The people I’ve known who are most effective never considered the border when valuing the state’s actions.
Palestinians / Yemenis / Somalis / etc
I’m confused how supporting and engaging in genocide and bombing humans in multiple countries with unique circumstances is both a single issue separate to and less important than doing the same (without bombs) nearer to home.
I guess everyone has a different tolerance for blood on their hands…

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Would you rather have hundreds of millions of dollars and be acutely aware of all the bad things going on, or a meager yet sustainable life and completely ignorant of everything.
2·7 天前I don’t get the stipulation. Using it to help community and fix the system would be using it for my own interest. I would be doing that for myself because i selfishly want to live in a better world. Furthermore, that would require i don’t pay taxes so it’s kind of a liability unless it’s permanently locked away in investments.
Maybe i keep that money invested to back debt so i can borrow and give the banks money away. 🤷

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What technologies are constant failures but we can't stop trying to make work?
3·7 天前Iteration isn’t a claim that the predecessor was a failure though, you iterate on the successes of the prior generation. It used to be that technology advanced so rapidly that the cutting edge became obsolete in a matter of a few years, but for that time it was a success.
I think there’s also an assumption of design philosophy here. One designer might put many generalized requirements into their design, then you get Google glasses, AI, NFTs and so on. This means everything is a failure because it couldn’t achieve the requirements. Others may pick a small set of very specific requirements, then you get the iPhone or a Toyota hilux. These are massive successes because they had cohesion in the idea and planned as to about compromise.
Also the second, and depending on your level, third. Depends on available spell slots.

10·9 天前I found some good stuff in the F2P demo/early access. Especially if you’re just looking for a few hours of fun. Every now and then you can find a release F2P title that’s not monetizing you. But without the marketing budget or polish they don’t take off in popularity.

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL that only 7 petrol-powered cars were sold last month in NorwayEnglish
4·9 天前Some gas stations, mostly ones without the store, are closing in saturated areas but most are still there just with charging stations in the lot next to the pumps.

Came here to day both are good but your laissez faire attitude is clutch!
I suppose it’s a lot easier to have fun when you’ve got some stability.

2·11 天前Chancellor palpatine had the state backing him. That was the point of the election and padme’s quote of applaus or whatever.
When a few people lose the support of the community they’re just a few people, isolated, and a lot less scary than ice while being susceptible to the same community response.
Yeah I don’t mean every model, make, and year is good but almost every house has one here where it’s -15C 3mo of the year and often -20C and below.
Heat pumps work great and are super common to install on homes where winter temps drop well below that. They’re so efficient they’re worth it even if you use supplemental heat for the coldest part of the year.
Andor was indeed great

23·13 天前If it’s a community action empowered by the community they’ll probably willingly stop when the community stops supporting it. Should they become a nuisance then the community has learned how to handle that.
Cops don’t lose their backing when the local community wants them out.





This would suggest the leadership positions aren’t required for the function of the business.
