What are you on about? The entire capitalist system is based on theft from the workers. To even be a capitalist means you gave someone less than the value they produced during the time they worked.

If they didn't want us taking back what's rightfully ours then they shouldn't have stolen from us in the first place.

Why do people keep defending the parasites?

Yup. I wasn't old enough to vote, but I remember him being mocked for it. There's even a South Park episode about him.

I still think Jr. stole the 2000 election. There's just too many coincidences. He just happened to win a tight recount in the state controlled by his brother? Yea, sure... 😑

Not to mention the Brooks Brothers riot that has paralles to the current wave of people trying to stop vote counts when they start losing.

The 'what-if's?' are endless.

To state the obvious, don't let profit parasites ruin your healthcare system Canada. Down South we live in hell. Our way of doing thing's is a cruel joke. Fuck those greedy bastard's.

I wonder if this is because older folx don't change the default settings on their stock keyboard so it keeps adding a period after every space automatically.

Oh the irony.... 😑

Eh, even within the US it's not unpopular outside of the bible belt. I think most of the rest of the country does it out of habit. I'm not sure many people think about it as anything other than something that's 'just what you do'.

Idk if dating is inherently bad, but the soulcrushing drive for profit that has consumed modern dating has defintely made it horrible.

The government forcing you to relax and have fun, or else, is wonderfully absurd. Feels like a paradox to be honest.

Our government doesn't care about us beyond how much value we can produce for the Oligarchs. The exception being certain natural disasters. Even then, how much they care is dependent on whether it gets national coverage, or international coverage.

There's Fox "News" and 20c Fox/Fox Sports etc.Technically started in the same place, but the non-news side got sold off.

It's news to me the 80's were actually just the years between 1946 and 1964.

Bless you.

That data is almost meaningless since governments at all levels stopped recording and reporting pandemic data. Of course things will look like they've gotten better if you just pretend the problem doesn't exist.

It's an infant's solution to the crisis. Covid went away because our leaders decided object permanence is for losers.

Eh, Jerboa is okay, but the typing is janky. I might switch away from it just for that reason.

Yup same here. My parents had both sick days and vacation days. Sick days were PTO you could use the day of, and vacation days needed to be scheduled ahead of time.

Everywhere I've worked that has either had no paid time off at all, or it has just been one bucket and you had to schedule it no less than 48hrs in advance, or they would automatically deny it. As in it would never reach a human being, the timekeeping system would just reject it outright.

What's old is new again. New red scare, same as the old red scare.

Fear mongering about an other you don't understand is as American as apple pie. 😑

Anthropology has always been a favorite mine as well. There are others on there like the earth sciences or geospatial that I'm interested in, but tbh I think Anthro is the only other sub that I've studied enough as a layperson to be able to effectively mod.

Sorry for the delayed response. Life got hectic there for a bit.

If it's bad, don't make it worse by privatizing it.
