Americans are too apathetic to change anything in their country though… Too tired, too exhausted to even move away from the whip that hits them every day.

DuckDuckGo gains traffic not because it somehow gotten better recently.

Google entered heavy enshittification stage and honestly… it’s sad to watch.

Controlling something worthless is pointless anyway.

And giving it away to everyone will score political points.

You know they will agree and give everyone stakes exactly when bubble is about to pop

European online communities in 2020: ecology is the future, we need to remove coal, anyone who disagrees is a russian bot

European online communities in 2026: we must start building datacenters or we will be left in the dust, ecology is just russian bot propaganda

People in my country in my job type tried to make an union, but other unions complained that we have too good to be allowed a union and initial members quickly dwindled.

What a dumb person

I don’t think this situation has been avoidable.

According to the rules of democracy country should pivot towards the interests of majority. As majority ages, this means that country policy should start favoring old people… because if it doesn’t they will just vote in someone who will.

I may try unsupported builds on a phone I don’t use, but for that I would need to buy phone.

Well, It’s also a quite old phone. I was never one to replace something just because newer version is available.

Samsung Galaxy A35

Yeah, I just checked Lineage and it’s not on the list.

Let’s go.

Deconstruction - there is no such things as “common sense” and “on the internet”. Unless it is your first day on the internet you should probably know by now that internet is constantly in high-emotion ape-shit mode. In other words - you cannot treat things said on the internet as things a level-headed person would say. Instead, treat it more like agitated mob rule.

Analysis - indeed the idea of rape having more severe punishment than murder may seen strange at first. However remember that murdering someone is a single time act, while raped person can suffer for prolonged time. In fact if rape ends up with pregnancy, that brings another person to life… person that will suffer through this world too. Also remember that punishments are rarely logical - if they were, punishment would in some way repay loss to the victim.

Reconstruction - topic of rape is an emotional topic and thus you can expect all the constantly overstimulated monkeys with jobs to jump at it as a sort of cleansing ritual. We live in times of constant stress and talking down to others, humiliating them, is sadly one of popular de-stress methods. Mostly because it costs you nothing to spew venom at others. A person who opens up about their problems is practically inviting others to do their worst. While it would be better for society for a person with such urges to open up and get help, it is better for individual itself to hide it until they do the deed, as this way they avoid the worst our society has to offer.

Hide your work and hide it’s effects. Anything others can see is a weakness. Government can only tax you on what you earn officially, only things you show can be stolen etc. If you are having a good time it is in your best interest than nobody, except people you are having this good time with, know about it.

Working from home.

I must admit, I would not decide to have kids without working from home. What is even the point in bringing them to this world if their parents are gonna just park them at care centers for most of the time?

I’m a writer as a hobby so I would probably write.

Young people are needed because they are the only ones creating any value worth taxing or stealing.

BUT! There are more old people than young people, so democratically we skew policy towards “fuck young people”.

This means young people emigrate and not reproduce, so the country starts spiraling into economic oblivion.

So… we blame young people and move policy even further towards “fuck young people” while hoping that immigrants will emigrate away after they are done adding value we can steal. Spoiler - they will not emigrate.

Explanations why space expands are way more crazier than this.

yeah, would love to, but last time I checked my phone is not supported

I honest to god used 10% as an idea of “ridiculously low tax” but I guess the topic of problems with billionaires may be too american for me.

Stocks should be taxed on buy/sell and yearly hold though.
