Yes, but I'm more scared for humanity itself than the system. We had the chance and the means to create a generous and free heaven, and instead we have created a greedy debt slave hell.
The system isn't the problem, it's us. And if we don't learn then we're heading for another repeat.
Did you know that we actually have the means to eradicate poverty the world over?
I will do, thank you!
Yeah, it's called an opinion. An opinion which is formed from my own observations. You can take it or leave it, but I'm going to keep saying it.
We will always have leaders in some capacity. We are too wired to lead and to follow.
I trust the opinions of open minded and wise scientists the most. The people that should IMO have been our leaders instead of self serving politicians.
In that case you might like to try out Piefed! It accesses the same threads as Lemmy and also the new Piefed instances as well, if you found Lemmy difficult to stick with due to the way it works it might be better for you. piefed.world is ran by the same people that setup lemmy.world.
Yeah their banning system has become too aggressive. I've read quite a few stories like yours, where someone got a sitewide permaban, and if anybody else in the household happened to be using Reddit from that same network, they also caught the permaban on their own accounts too for ban evasion, even if their accounts had no connection whatsoever with the OP's. It's pretty ridiculous and they are becoming too ban happy like Facebook.
My countdown to Christmas began as soon as the 22nd of June started and the nights started to become a little tiny bit longer! 🎄
Yes, this will surely help the Xbox brand come back from the brink of irrelevancy! /s
Why the heck release a phsyical edition in the first place then? Just seems like a huge waste of plastic otherwise.
The treatment of those with disabilities or who are just down on their luck, by the mostly apethic "I'm alright jack" public. I've had many arguments with those who thought that just because somebody needed benefits that they were milking the system.
The most disgusting and revolting thing I can read on the subject from somebody is "if I've managed to get by fine without state help and support, so can/should they"... And yes many do actually think this way, sometimes even to those who need wheelchairs or other aids.
Sometimes I've managed to convince them to care about somebody other than themleves for a change, sometimes I've caused them to go away thinking about it, and other times I've caused them to double down on their stance.
Either way, the engagements were meaningful and eye opening and I'll defend this position until the day I die because nobody has any business being that disgusting towards other human beings.
