I’ve given up huge piles of cash by choosing to not work for megacorps.
It’s worth it to me.
Confronted with the likelihood that we cannot achieve climate goals.
The current trend line sucks, but we’ve seen plenty of times in history what the ultra rich ignoring the plight of everyone else looks like. Someone please pass the “not with them” list to me to sign when it’s time to chop their heads off.
I wish I was joking, but I’m not. Seriously. I’m not with them. I would like to keep my head while we adjust course abruptly.
Edit: To be clear, I am not advocating. What should happen is that our climate, inequality, and injustice trends get fixed through peaceful cooperation. But our current crop of billionaires don’t show a lot of sign of either wanting that, or having any real awareness of where their current path, historically, goes. Which wouldn’t really be material to me, other than beacuse I’m at risk both from the climate, and from how guillotines historically kill a lot of bystanders.
Oh hey, thanks! I never particularly wanted any of my apps to route around the VPN, but there the option it is under Advanced, when split tunneling is enabled. Could be handy. Thanks!
I blocked whoever you’re replying to a long time ago. So this thread was quite a roller coaster for me.
For context though, I block people for posting images with bright white backgrounds that blind me when I’m reading later at night than I should. So I have no way of knowing if what I’m missing is awful, or delightful.
(I mean, I could log out and check, but what fun would that be…)
Man continues: “So if you could send a taxi to pick me up, that would be terrific. No, I guess I didn’t need to tell you all of that, but this car phone is pretty neat, don’t you think? Yes. I’ll be waiting at the curb, I’m standing there now!”
It makes me happy that somewhere, someone, is reading your comment with no knowledge of the scene you’re referring to. I hope they search for it and are delighted.
Last time, I used: “Anybody need anything while I’m out?” and that went over well. May not make it through this surgery on Friday, so I turn to Lemmy for top-notch suggestions for my potential last words!
Yarrr. I’ve not taken part myself, but I hear there be extremely affordable ways to obtain digital files in this age.
Spotify is a last gross gasp of the dying music industrial complex, before direct payments for early access, directly to artists, becomes the primary form of music sales.
I’m talking about a massive park in the absolute heart of the city. Located such that is naturally surrounded by city high rises. *People are giving examples of parks that are way off in the boonies. I’m trying to say located centrally, heart of the city, you know where the high rises are. Yes I understand nyc has more, the...
I dunno. With enough money, “yes men” can be employed to tell me how much I deserve to be the boss, and books I’m uncomfortable with can be removed from my local library. /s
Edit: But I would never do that. Simple delusions of grandeur are easier to achieve and have fewer network externalities.

Honestly - How much will you sacrifice for a better world?
