Try to recall whether you acted uncomfortable in your initial interaction with them. The first one due to surprise of them being the first male social worker working on your case. The second due to the unpleasantness with the former. The first impression usually sets the tone of a conversation, so there may have been a misunderstanding which then solidified into prejudice.

After enough time has passed since the initial conflict, it becomes less about the subject of the conflict and more about the conflict in itself. The reason becomes secondary and instead the goal becomes winning against the other side or at least making it hurt.
It has to do with property and liability. All digital landowners including Lemmy, Mastodon and other social media work very hard to make sure they don’t get sued by lazy users ‘unaliving’ themselves looking to sue for perceived damages and or promoting illegal content by their presehahahaha im just fucking with you but could you imagine some fucking boomer writing something like this
Hints are great if what you look in a partner is the ability to solve puzzles. Otherwise, they should be skipped. Proper communication is key to any successful relationship.
Mummies. They were all over Egypt, just lying around in the sand. The Brits came by and saw they were everwhere, asked why nobody took care of them, received some shrugs in response, took a couple, ground them up into dust and snorted that shit, for health purposes. It’s well documented, somewhere on the internet.
Think of it as their very shitty solution to mods and cheats that so many dumbasses pay for. “Hey, why let those cheat makers profit off of our games? Let’s make the cheats ourselves! But you know, for better profit, let’s chop off parts of the game and call them cheats instead.”
I saw that post about our view of the universe being wrong, how the expansion is a bit different than previously considered. And it got me thinking about the theory of macro and micro being pretty similar to each other. Which led me to the idea of the universe being a creature and us living on the equivalent of a proton or something within a living cell. Then i started wondering what kind of creature we were living in and whether we were a part of it or an infection. And if so, are there any white cells roaming around looking to get rid of us?
Finally, I reached the conclusion that imagination is one helluva drug and i need to get out more to keep in touch with reality.
Capitalism is the concentration of society around capital, hence the name capital-ism.
Here’s a definition of capital:
: a stock (see STOCK entry 1 sense 1a) of accumulated goods especially at a specified time and in contrast to income received during a specified period also : the value of these accumulated goods (2) : accumulated goods devoted to the production of other goods (3) : accumulated possessions calculated to bring in income set capital and land and labor to work —G. B. Shaw see also VENTURE CAPITAL b (1) : net worth : excess of assets over liabilities (2) : STOCK sense 2a see also CAPITAL GAIN, CAPITAL STOCK, EQUITY CAPITAL c : persons holding capital : capitalists considered as a group d : ADVANTAGE, GAIN make capital of the situation e : a store or supply of useful assets or advantages
So Capitalism doesn’t give a shit about free market, workers, ethics, consumers, nation, environment etc, only about capital. Which is why Capitalism is good for the stock holders, yet bad for everyone else. Because stock holders will do anything for their capital.
Realistically, i’d go to city hall and hand in my death certificate. They’ll take it in because they’re not being paid enough to care. Then i’d be legally dead. Afterwards i’d go into the mountains and probably die because i don’t know how to live in the mountains, but it sounded nice in my mind.
The Israelian people will eventually need to put their foot down and redress the current situation else they’ll lose their nazist victim card and instead become the nazists of this century. And few countries will dare to look kindly at them then.
Youtube let the other shoe drop in their end-stage enshittification this week. Last month, they required you to turn on Youtube History to view the feed of youtube videos recommendations. That seems reasonable, so I did it. But I delete my history every 1 week instead of every 3 months. So they don’t get much from my choices....
Here’s the thing, at the core of it, neither the people living in the israelian part nor the ones living in the palestinian one are really at fault here. The general public in general has no time for petty politics, being to busy to make a life. What you really want to blame are the agitators, the people who make it their life to create issues where there are none.
The majority of the population on both sides just want to live their own life in peace and they are not allowed to. So if you want to side wkth someone, side with them.
Blame the politicians who promote discord and occupation, blame the guerillas who attack innocent civilians, blame the religious proponents who spread hatred and bile. And plead with the general public to stop being such a bunch of pussies and actually put a stop to all the warmongering for everyone’s sake. Which is something we should all do, everywhere. But we won’t because we’re all pussies as well.
