Why would he start a trans genocide when they are already doing such a good job of doing it themselves?

This sort of thing has always happened.

I do find it particularly infuriating when it’s a topic I’m knowledgeable in/involves my profession. But then I remember most people are stupid and it doesn’t bother me too much.

I think messaging is more likely to see progress made on this front. I don’t see regulations forcing Spotify to allow for their personalization mechanisms to be transferable and that doesn’t really make sense why they should have to, while messaging I can see happen even if only due to popular demand.

Yeh I feel you, I used to be the same way actually. Gradually over time my habits changed and now I look forward to the Discovery playlist each week. But I totally get where you’re coming from, I used to just listen to the same artist over and over ha ha.

He’s a national treasure, always puts me in a good mood.

Eh, I’m a full album guy (Pink Floyd ftw) but I still enjoy Spotify. I’ve been introduced to a lot of good music I probably wouldn’t have found otherwise, and sometimes I’m just not in the mood to commit to a full album.

I love that show, and Naked Gun. So funny 😂

Because you’re north looking south.

Is there any proof of this?

Listening to, and understanding, everything said within range of the phone should use noticeable processing power.

Thank you Tolstoy, great novel.

I’m so glad you people are too detached from reality to actually start your ‘revolution’.

Lmao those babies on hexbear are so fragile, of course they’ve come here to attack you.

And that one mod being like ‘no one mentioned Marxism’. Yeh, hexbear is famously right-wing 🙄🤣

Nothing happened because a lot of effort was put into changing vulnerable systems.

I am old enough to remember Y2K. The media definitely stirred some people up about it, in my experience most people seemed to not be too worried about it.

But we shouldn’t dismiss the hard work that a lot of people did to upgrade or redesign systems that Y2K could have affected.

As a aside, I remember that when the clock struck midnight at the NYE party I was at someone flipped the circuit breaker for the house as a joke, turning out all the lights. I remember a few people gasping and wondering what the hell was going on for a few moments until the lights came back on and the prankster revealed himself. Was pretty funny at the time 🤣

I feel like I’m a late starter too, only now in my 30s do I have my shit together and have a good job. Definitely has helped mental health, I still am working out things but it’s better. So glad I finished university and got a good degree.

What’s SSBN?

Yes, I don’t doubt that the totalitarian CCP took full advantage of the opportunity to grow their economy to what it is now. And they did that through state controlled capitalism and gross human rights violations.

I don’t doubt they are smart, but the methods they have used, ie being a single party authoritarian state, are barbaric. It was a mistake to help China succeed as we did.

I agree that there is an unhealthy attitude to capital growth. That definitely needs to change.

As for the 39% of Americans not investing, how many have pension funds or other retirement schemes that do the investing for them? Regardless, they are free to choose what they do with their money. If they want to hold it, so be it.

A period of deflation might make for a good break, but not as a permanent solution. Investment inspires innovation, and innovation in new technologies will be vital in combating climate change.

I can’t comment on the wars or Rome but I think there are multiple factors there, fiat maybe being one but of what significance?

I think dismissing an entire opposing view point as Nazis is one of the lowest forms of discourse there is, and unfortunately it’s very pervasive on Lemmy.

I don’t know if it’s naive teenagers or just a lot of out of touch people with fringe views, but it’s worse than reddit sometimes.

I think any hedge against inflation is countered by the extreme volatility most of them suffer from.

Which cryptos are non-deflating BTW?

Lmao yeh I wouldn’t be surprised if it had another run at the ATH high, backed by shady organizations lkke Binance and imaginary Tether dollars lol

It’s almost as if one of the ideas behind having an inflationary currency is that people don’t hoard it and invest in other things!
