I mean, I didn’t think a crypto exchange LITERALLY killed anyone.

Hey, it takes some work to be 49th in the country in education. I believe if we try just a little harder we can make it to the bottom!

The cruelest thing a person could ever do to another human is to bring them into the world.

This is a good time to rewatch Porco Rosso.

How in the world would one abolish all coercion? That seems a basic fact of human nature. People will always try to influence others.

Damn. You’re a cold motherfucker.

I love how they just drop the statement that governments are the largest polluters with no sources, supporting evidence, or even explanation. Just saying something obviously does not make it true.

Reminds me of an anecdote about Robert Kennedy Sr. He was approached by a reporter on the campaign trail that asked him his stance on capital punishment.

“I’m against it,” Kennedy told the reporter.

“When you were at the Justice Department, that wasn’t your position.”

Kennedy replied, “That was before I read Camus.”

You didn’t see an article, you saw a screenshot of a tweet. As far as I can tell that was a lie. We should not be spreading lies when there are enough true horrible things they have done we could be talking about.

Unless I’m wrong and you’re the one person on Lemmy that actually saw an article supporting that claim. I’d like to be wrong, if I am could you please link the article?

OK big brain, how do we pay for the government then?

I absolutely did not get that from this post.

Who said words are?

DOGE. Department of Government Executions?

They might not be a troll. They might just be an idiot.

Norway still has billionaires.

I’ve heard it as: Those who seek authority over others are automatically unqualified to wield it.

Always has been.

I’ll call you one if you think that word carries the same stigma.

We are proper fucked. No need to bring ableist slurs into it, though.

That’s not at all what I implied or meant but thank you for assuming I’m the worst person ever for pushing back against someone being proud they can just get off their ass and pick up food.

Yes, Uber Eats is a cancer but I’ve known people to count down to the cents so their account won’t be overdrawn so that they can order one hot meal delivered. Yes I absolutely think it is in the monetization plans of all the delivery apps to take advantage of people in that situation, I was just trying to point out “get off your ass and pick it up” isn’t a viable option for everyone. Also, not everyone is the best at math or managing their money.
