What you are talking about is cloning yourself a rape slave. That is horrific.

I had exams in the building pictured at the top of the article. On one occasion it was 6°C and I struggled to write for the whole exam. That building is fucking freezing and the heaters set up around the outer walls did nothing. After the exam it took me several hours huddled in front of a heater to stop shaking. A nice warm classroom would have helped everyone.

This a wonderfully written article from a woman who worked as a chatbot helper in the real estate industry.
I’m anticonsumption in general and temu just seems like the epitome of paying for disposable garbage.
In general i don’t understand why people are buying any nonessential items at all. Everyone is apparently too poor but random crap still sells. I splurged and bought a cheap tablet to use as an ereader this year but only because i can’t justify the expense of buying books and my local library is awful.
If prohibition doesn’t work then why ban vaping? If prohibition does work then why not ban smoking? The billions in tax money is why.
Economic imbalance is baked into the games.
Taking your own air conditioner and rubbing it in the face of those who can’t afford it, in the olympic village where you’re all supposed to be treated the same, is such a glaring display of economic privilege that i find it bothersome.
I’m always embarrassed by Australia spending a fortune on sport and then congratulating ourselves for winning more medals, especially at the commonwealth games where most of the countries are poor.
They made the news because they remind people who hate them of why they hate them. Not because anyone had a wakeup call. They increased the ambient hate.
You can’t remove individual differences but there ought to be a level playing field at least at the actual competition. Is it acceptable to provide better accommodation to rich countries? White countries? I think at the games everyone should be treated equally.
That would be Australia. We are less extreme than the US but still succumb to fear tactics. We did manage to get marriage equality despite a conservative government so there’s that.
The athletes who get aircon will also be determined by who comes from a wealthy country. Makes a mockery of the games imo, should disqualify them all for having an unfair advantage.
The chauvinism was already there, that’s why they have more male children.
Influencers should be called manipulators.
They want people to smoke, that’s the only explanation. They make money from taxing it and save money when people die early.
Are you glorifying a teenager burning themselves alive? This is disturbing.
Get mental health treatment.
I was really hoping for some theory of how sociopathy could be contagious. Nothing. I’ts just name-calling.
Listen, it’s a very easy premise: these anti-gay workers and activists believe homosexual thoughts are something everyone struggles with, because they experience similiar thoughts and urges all the time
What is the mental defect that makes people think everyone is like them or everyone is the same?
Are you saying my self medicatory alcoholism makes me green?
Excellent!
Equality isn’t treating people differently because they are different, it’s treating people the same even if they are different.
This idea really breaks down when you apply it to people with disabilities who have different needs than the norm, and that problem applies to systemically disadvantaged people too. Society isn’t one size fits all, we need to cater to everyone.
Lemmy is pretty anticapitalist but in my experience asking people to stop supporting the system with their spending tends to upset them. I don’t get it.
