They don’t care about lying. What’re you going to do about it? Nothing. And that’s why they persist.

politics @lemmy.world•Right-wing commentator Milo Yiannopoulos detained by ICE
4·4 小时前I hope he’s never heard from again.
It sucks for everyone but the people in charge are too stupid or apathetic to change anything.
I applied to an internal role like 2 months ago and they’re just ghosting me. Like, I see them on teams. I send them follow up messages. Nothing. Bunch of AI brained assholes.

Technology@lemmy.world•Apple One and Apple TV subscription prices increase by up to 20 percentEnglish
2·7 小时前They’re not trying to make a good product. They’re trying to get their short term gains.
Normal capitalist bullshit where a handful of people (who probably don’t even do any work) make decisions and keep almost all the profits.
Occasionally. It’s frustrating that most free porn sites are kind of bad at search and filter. You’d think a tagging system would be easy to implement but most sites seem to just have a barely functional search.

Technology@lemmy.world•Skip today's Windows 11 update: it breaks cursor styling, resets wallpaper, and moreEnglish
3·14 小时前The majority of the time you just click play in steam, heroic, or whatever. It’s no worse than windows.
I don’t do any tinkering on my desktop.

AntiTrumpAlliance@lemmy.world•Stole $10 million from childrenEnglish
21·17 小时前I write this a lot, but it remains true: conservatives don’t see it as hypocrisy because their only rule is being upheld. In-groups good, out-groups bad.
If Ron had stolen money from Trump, maybe then they would be upset.

1·17 小时前Workday also gets mad if your resume has “special characters” in it, like quotation marks. Why they can’t sanitize input themselves, I don’t know. Presumably incompetence.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Nvidia agrees to buy Hugging Face for $12.9 billion, report says
14·1 天前Shouldn’t be allowed. Companies shouldn’t be allowed to buy each other. We already know what happens with consolidation.

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•American Drivers Think Speeding Is Okay Because Everyone Else Is Doing ItEnglish
7·1 天前Right. Traffic enforcement that’s “random” is fundamentally unjust. But conservatives like it because they can bully the out-groups, and some assholes like it because it brings money in via fines.

politics @lemmy.world•Baby boomers are collecting 265% of what they paid into Social Security—and millennials are paying the price | Fortune
30·1 天前First of all, “there’s no money for this” coming from the federal government is a lie, on any topic. They just don’t want to, and take advantage of people not knowing how money works. There’s always money for bombs, but for schools and social services not so much.
Second of all, as others have said, capping social security payments per year is stupid. It should be progressive. The first $x don’t get taxed at all, then higher rates as your income goes high.
Third, it shouldn’t be tied to your personal contributions. We live in a society, despite what anti social conservative monsters say.

10·1 天前Many companies use workday for the job application process, which wants an account. Workday is a steaming pile of garbage.
In-groups to protect, out-groups to bind. Hierarchy. That’s conservatism.
They don’t see the contradiction because to them there is none. Men get medicine because they’re in-group. Women don’t because they’re out-group. The rule is applied consistently. No hypocrisy.
You cannot engage them by attacking their hypocrisy. They don’t care. It’s like if someone said you’re a bad person because the colors of your clothing aren’t alphabetical top to bottom. That’s just like… Nonsense. Not a factor.
You need to either get them to see more people as in-group (see: people who became less virulently homophobic or racist when they actually make a friend of that category), or you need to utterly humiliate their in-group. It’s all emotions. They’re stupid.
The history of the US is filled with “nah, capital can do what it wants”.
Nothing will change while power is consolidated in the hands of the few.
I do wonder about who works at flock. Surely they have options to resist and sabotage from the inside.
I am concerned about how we don’t have 20 million deaths mostly because trump and his goons are stupid, not because they don’t want to do mass murder.

News@lemmy.world•CEOs earn 614 times more than workers at US’s 100 lowest-paying corporations
61·1 天前You seem to have imagined a link between
This has to end, nobody is worth that much. Even if they were, they shouldn’t have that much, because nobody needs that much.
And
Billionaires are a symptom of a society that is sick.
as if they were trying to say that the people in the articles are billionaires. That’s illusionary. There’s a full stop.
This
will never be reasonable that some people make hundreds of times what other make on a full time job.
Was the point. That some are only millionaires is irrelevant. Billionaire is a subtype of “too rich” used as an example.
No fundamental facts are in error.

News@lemmy.world•CEOs earn 614 times more than workers at US’s 100 lowest-paying corporations
61·1 天前Billionaires are a subcategory of people with too much money.
But also what’s your point here? Just pedentry? Defending CEO wealth at this 614:1 ratio? Defending billionaires right to exist?







Conservatives tend to be stupid and ignorant, yes.
