TheKingBee, to memes in Its getting old.

Okay, let’s do it explain how in a “pure” capitalist society a public body, without the ability to at least nominally use a legal system to guard against collusion and monopoly using the threat of breaking up or shutting down corporations, provide any protection?

Giving them the power to do that makes them just a government by another name.

I feel as though you’re also assuming I’m 100% advocating for what I’m describing

i think you’re missing it. Government for as glacial and corrupt and corruptible as it is, is the only buffer from the excess of a free market.

businesses without a guardrail HAVE proven they will sacrifice everything, literally everything in the name of profit.

Oil companies have know for about a century that they are destroying the planet and they are *still * doing it. They fight every regulation that stops them tooth and nail. They buy and shelve technologies that would cut into their profit. Imagine a world where there was no one trying to stop them at all?

That is the proper diagnosis of our system. We have allowed unaccountable immoral groups to control the means of production and they are literally using it to with kill us all.

TheKingBee, to comicstrips in "Autocomplete" by Zach Weinersmith

I’m not sure what’s going on in that thread.

Also, I dislike the framing of stochastic parrots as an insult AND its application to people.

Like wtf does that mean? It’s a joke pointing out that it sounds like a monty python insult, not a suggestion to adopt it as real language.

Also being disapointed that Weinersmith isn’t a technopessemist is just an odd take.

TheKingBee, to memes in Funtastic 😅

I’m not trying to defend windows, it has a myriad of issues, but I’ve never understood the meme of it updating at inconvenient times. I run windows 11 pro, I set it to only update when i tell it to and it does… Like it’s never been a problem, wasn’t a problem in windows 10 or 7 pro either.

I don’t get it, am i windows whisperer and not know it?

You need to train your algorithm.

When you hover over those videos there will be three dots in the lower right hand corner use either not interested or don’t recommend this channel to clear the right wing trash from your feed.

On videos you do like you need to do some engagement, watch complete videos, thumbs up (or down it doesn’t matter) and comment.

Do that for a few days and your feed should clear up.

I’m a daily youtube user and this has been not been the case for me.

My feed, outside the occasional straggler, is pretty free of nonsense.
