Be grateful to be a slave. A slave is alive. You could be dead. Remember that you exist to create labor but it is someone else’s job to claim the value of that labor.
Sorry, you were born into the wrong family, now please accept the status quo and do not revolt, rebel, or look into history and how the lower classes have handled power imbalances in the past.
You could perhaps summarize the video with some small effort versus expecting everyone who passes through to go watch a seven minute video.
It would be helpful, I was a little interested but did not finish the video.
Yeah, that is scary. Chosen by whom? I’d imagine if anyone reading this paused and thought, “If I was that baby, who would I want to make that choice?” I think everyone would pick themselves. Men reading this would wanna pick male and women reading this would wanna pick female.
Anyway it’s fun to think about. But I’m done thinking.
I’m really stoned and ranty. Bed time.
Thanks for the chat!
I don’t get it. Well I do. But I’ve yet to have a satisfactory conservative response to the following :
Intersex people exist. That is, at least 1 out of every 1,750 babies are born with both sexual organs. Therefore by their existence we know that there is a blurred line between genders and those people exist there. Even if I go along with them that transgender behavior is a mental illness (it’s not, this is just a thought experiment), what exactly do they propose we do about intersex individuals who are literally neither male nor female?
1 out of 1,750 would put the intersex population in the United States at approximately 194,000 individuals. For reference, that would be about 10% of the population of Nebraska or Idaho. That’s how many people I am discussing and who seem to always be left out of the conversation.
You should have stolen their gender and held it hostage.
I like this. It’s exactly right.
You must support ranked choice voting then?
That would destabilize the two party system into more parties and more representation.
If not then I don’t understand your motivation.
This is similar to when I heard reddit was doing the API lockdown, I wrote an automation bot over the weekend that self-destructed my subreddit and the entire post history. The bot also automatically downloaded and archived all of the content on my local machine.
It was annoying because at first I couldn’t get access to older posts since at the time reddit had changed their API to only show the first X posts (100 or 1,000 or whatever). So I told my bot to delete the posts as it archived them so as I deleted content, reddit had no choice but to populate the page with the older posts.
And that’s how I archived my subreddit. Reddit banned me two days later for automation, lol. I did not break any of the reddit or reddit api ToS during this process but I guess I upset someone.
Scan the room left to right. Quickly. Do it 3-10x. Survey the people.
Now. Go to the far left person, look at their head. Maintain eye to head contact for 3 seconds. Now with your mouth make a (bzzzrrr) noise and turn your head slowly to the next person. When you stop turning your head make a (kerthnk, zzp) noise. Do this for every person in the restaurant. You now have data on everyone.
Next step, scan for exits, reposition yourself at the table so that your back faces the nearest structural wall, this will be useful if there is a fire fight. Turn your seat backwards and plant your feet far apart for maximum stability, also granting you the mobility to leap to your feet and dive through a window if necessary.
I assume you are wearing leather gloves and a bandana, nod to yourself and squeeze your hands a few times to get the blood flowing.
The server is here, order nuggies and a water. You’ll need your protein, but you are prepared.
Go forth and conquer the world my child.
This is what we call a ‘leading indicator’.
Hopefully it ends with explosions.
Someone in the upper class musta bought a “how to revolution” kit and is poking the populace to see if it works.
I can appreciate that kind of science.
Raise the price on everything! Line go up! (But sir, she cannae take any more!) LINE! GO! UP!
Plus they are gas planets. Fart miners are about to be rich with farts.
Your welcome for this contribution of taste and intellect.
It’s umm, a quantum dong. Very rare, it appears very small in photographs but when not observed it is the size of Mount Fuji. Woe is me! To have the dong of the century but cursed to never show it.
Fear the quantum dong!!
It’s not that hard. I seen the Flintstones, just have the space people put their feet out the bottom and wiggle em real fast.
Why am I not in charge of space launches? Probably people are afraid of my intellect, and massive dong.
(copium)
Line go up? Family no matter. Only line. Line go up forever. You no disagree. Line go up. Important line go up. Grow forever. Consume everything. Line go up.
Disagree make you evil communist. Praise line!
Well stated. It’s been bothering me all of the people gate-keeping the ability to protest something that EVERY AMERICAN TAXPAYER is funding. On private universities… sure I guess that’s different, those students gave up their rights when they decided to go to a private uni, but public universities?
I get why universities do it, its a bad faith tactic so upper class administrators can find a reason to lick the boot and launch shock troops.
But commenters on Lemmy? I don’t get it.
Student or not, they should be able to protest. But maybe there is just something I haven’t thought of yet, I’m open to new opinions on this.
Yea, I didn’t realize it myself, someone pointed it out to me. That doesn’t mean anything is wrong with dark humor, I also like it, it’s just trickier than I realized. That’s what friends are for, we share perspectives.
Thinking back on it, the first time someone shared this to me I was pretty dismissive of the idea. It took me a while to process it and come around. Unfortunately I never got to tell the person they changed my perspective because they were gone before I had the realization.
I used to be into dark, offensive jokes until like Dave Chapelle I realized that many of the people weren’t laughing at the ridiculous nature of the jokes but because they supported the offense against group X or Y. I felt gross to be part of that, so I mostly left offensive humor behind online. Now I stick to close-knit groups where everyone has a social awareness and understanding of what is over the line and we’ll call one another out when necessary.
That said, it is something I enjoy, it’s just very hard to do well. I leave it up to Bill Burr and other comedians of that sort who can handle the nuance.
I could just be old too, happens to the best of us.
Yeah, it’s a bit of a meme I just lean into.
Psst, I actually like it, but don’t let anyone know.
I’d be arrested and kicked off lemmy.
This application looks fine to me.
Clearly labeled sections.
Local on one side, remote on the other
Transfer window on bottom.
No space for anything besides function, is the joke going over my head?
