My dad is smarter than 99% of CEOs.

At least that’s what LinkedIn games want him to believe.

At this rate why sell hardware to people anymore? Might as well rip the bandaid and make it a cloud-gaming device.

We’re hitting new lows.

That’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time…

If someone is “attractive,” there’s a fair bit of chance they’ve done stuff to get there already, like exercising, skincare, etc.

The things on the image are just an extension of that. They’re not thinking like OP that they’ve done enough. It’s all the same thing.

We did it Lemmy

Oh no, I’m glad they did. You see, I’ve had issues with my bladder recently too. I believed it was an infection, but if his doctor says it was just some irritation, maybe so it is for me too. I just wish I knew what medicine he got prescribed. I guess I’ll have to hope it clears up on its own.

I’m in this picture and I don’t like it

When rich people figured out the economy is really just a social construct

These seem to have been the meta on LinkedIn until recently.

Especially, Chinese is not « structurally » complex. It’s got no numbers, no genders, no cases, the grammar is very analytical and straightforward.

“Hey, can I interest you in data entry for AI?”

Better late than never. Next step is realising that Trump didn’t get where he is alone, and nothing would change if he were to die tomorrow. The problem is deeper than that.

Same. People need to start reacting to that stuff and actually unsubscribe. If you go along with it complacently, companies are only going to double down.

If you carry a scorpion on your back and you’re surprised when you get stung, maybe the problem less with you.

They’re not even using it correctly because it should be ðe and ðis as they’re soft voice sounds.

Hey, thank you for re-reading and engaging with what I actually wrote.

The one interrogation that was not solved for me is that such a change requires a tremendous amount of energy and dedication across all society’s decision-makers, and I fail to see where that energy would be sourced from when almost any forces able to institute change benefits from the status quo.

I don’t disagree that there are better theoretical systems, I just fail to understand by what miracle they would ever be realised from the starting position we find ourselves in. It isn’t just about how many of us vs how many of them it is, unfortunately. The entire world’s understanding of power dynamics, trust in money and institutions would need to shift, and after that, there’s little guarantee the same people wouldn’t come on top again to corrupt it all.

I guess my question is: how do you guard any system from human corruption, other than just honour, promises, and gentleman’s agreement?

If you make yourself a ruler and give yourself the power to stop such corruption (which fundamentally needs to be more power than it takes to instigate it), you’re effectively becoming « the good dictator », and then how can you guarantee that this amount of power will not be used for bad by yourself, or any of the people that will come after you? When power concentrates this much, it only takes one bad person to get it.

I tried watching it from the browser and it showed correctly for me… 🤔 I don’t really know what the issue might be.

Thank you for that, this echoes my sentiment.

About technical difficulties, I don’t really know. My lemmy app doesn’t seem to be having any problems, so it may be a client-related problem.
