he just died too soon for everyone to see him for the villain he was

He cut the line for organ donation. People did get to see how he was, and they didn’t care.

I love this chart. Because pasteurization is a result of capitalism, not food safety. The EU doesn’t pasteurize their eggs because their chickens are vaccinated against salmonella. The USA does not vaccinate their chickens because it would hurt Big Agriculture and all their egg pasteurizing factories.

We have to pasteurize milk because of the awful conditions of factory farming - where disease is rampant. Again, this is a result of capitalism. And again, you can see drastic difference in the products in the EU vs the USA. Some EU cheeses are required, by law, to use raw milk. It’s safe there.

You don’t need to be corporate owned to be a narcissist. How many former reddit mods came here and squatted on popular community names simply so they can be mods by being here “first”?

Good thing you can start your own instance!

about 25% downvotes, which is rather bad compared to other announcements

HMMMM I wonder why they didn’t post it on Lemmy?

Probably because this post has negative 400 votes:

Users are children.

Because if I don’t then all these rich fucks pave over everything, flood their neighbor’s land, block traffic, poison their customers, and sell houses that’ll collapse 10 minutes after The warranty expires.

That already happened and continues to happen. Because corporations bribe the government to allow it. They call it lobbying. And you know this. The feigned ignorance is comical. Why do ISPs own the rights to public telephone poles and prevent municipal internet? Because people like you gave the ISPs those rights.

It’s a dump truck full of truthful sand. Cities can’t build municipal fiber internet because Spectrum owns the fucking pole. The assertion that this is an “environmental protection” is so insulting that my comment would be deleted if I told you what I really think about you.

The people working at those corporations would have been murdered. You want people to commit suicide. That’s really the argument being made in this comment thread: people should commit suicide instead of taking immoral action.

If someone puts a gun to my head and makes me choose between my life and your life, I’m choosing my life.

It means OK or acknowledged. It does not mean “fuck you”. People who think it means “fuck you” are the only people having a bad time with this.

I have reached “that” age, it would appear.

Me too. Glad to be here. Why the fuck does anyone care that children apply nonsensical meaning to emojis? People actually waste time thinking about this? If a teenager told me there was something wrong with using the thumbs up emoji I would laugh at them, give a sarcastic OK, and move along.

Social media creates more bad actors on the internet vs bad actors IRL.

In the real world, the thing that keeps everyone in check is the fear of shame and embarrassment. The internet provides anonymity that makes those concerns go away. I personally have made comments in Lemmy that I would never make in real life. Because I know there are no consequences. Put deodorant gel on my username, tough guy.

I buy extra cars for fun.

But we can pretend! And that’s what’s important!!!

Correct. The far left is as vain as the far right.

BMW sold 10% more cars than the year before.

This is change. Progress is subjective.

The fediverse is so great but fuck you if you expect federation

nice
