Corporations should not be allowed to lobby. With all that money and concentrated effort capitalism can produce, the people will always lose.
I will never understand why people believe corporate influence on the government is so fucking important. It will come naturally, through the people not by lobbyist if you deny their influence
To be fair, without knowing the referenced picture, I wouldn’t have gotten my own joke. The post removal is what shocks me most. Whatever, you lose some you win some
I was. I tried to reference the picture from a few days ago, in which one of the persons were dead, because back in the day that was a normal thing to do.
Unfortunately nobody got my joke…
The old one is dead btw.
Change my mind
Capitalism is a tool to maximize profit. Whoever thought it was a good idea to let capitalism have influence on laws so that they can maximize its profit was a big fool.
What do you expect? Capitalism, a tool, has by definition no morale. Let it decide politics to increase profit and you end up with that kind of shit society we have today.
Don’t blame the hammer, when you hit your thumb. Also, don’t let the hammer decide where to make the biggest dent.
Can we please start again focusing on the people? Without people there is no society, and there is no market to increase profits.
Start using capitalism and free markets like a tool. Want more renewable and clean energy? Make rules and see the magic of capitalism in making the best out of it.
Instead we let capitalism decide what should be done next and suffer the consequences. It’s as easy as that.
Unfortunately capitalism not only create the rules, they also decide what is news and influence societies views. And that’s why OPs picture is as it is.
Fuck socialism, am I right guys?!
I just try to except that it will be like you described. I know the feeling all to well. By not stressing over it chances are way higher I’ll come around doing at least something.
It’s a vicious cycle: if you try every day to do something but never actually do it, you unconsciousness will learn to not do the thing. You haven’t done it the last 30 times, why this time?
Instead, accept that the way you are trying or the goals you have set won’t work for you. Change your goals, make them smaller. Instead of “I’ll clean my entire room today”, which is a grueling task, the goal could be: every time I walk into the kitchen, I’ll take one thing with me, that belongs in the kitchen.
Your goals should not be cleaning everything, your goal should be to find a way that makes it easy for you to start.
accept that your motivation system works differently and don’t be angry at yourself.
Just my two cents. Stay strong and accept yourself
You messed up… and then everyone after you messed up too
No that’s “infinite”, “indivisible” means something you’re unable to defend.
FTFY
The windows key is used to open the overview in gnome-shell (which you are using i suppose). It’s possible but not that easy to change and might break some stuff. I’d suggest to try the functionality as is. Press windows key to get to overview. Type program name to search for that program and enter to start it. To open the apps menu press windows key twice.
If you can’t get used to it, take a look at: https://extensions.gnome.org/ There you can search for gnome extensions that are able to add a non full screen menu, change the dash to dock and much more.
ne, der ist traurig, weil das tuch an seiner nudel hängen geblieben ist? /j
Nice one. Doing for loops with a list of files is a common mistake. I hate the exec syntax of find though. Why the fuck do we need ; at the end
let me introduce you to this: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/robo-bees-could-aid-insects-with-pollination-duties/
humans are crazy. You want to know whats wrong with trees and bees? It’s pretty hard to make a profit of them
Sorry mate, english is not my first language. I just wrote a response anyway but lemmy bugged when i tried to post it. :(
I think everyone can act like a monster if he thinks the other person deserves it. unfortunately all the negativity in the media and from influential people enforces this worldview.
I try to abstain from and to not discuss shit like that. Life is too short to be angry about things i can’t change. What i can do is act as good as i can in my personal life and that’s about it.
Have a nice day and don’t let the negativity get the best of you
Then explain human history and literally everything else we know
For what? This would change nothing. The only thing you can change are your own actions at this very moment.
It is only denial, optimistic bias, self delusion, and other mediating psychological effects that allow us to see ourselves as anything better
“Everyone is an asshole, so it’s okay for me to be an asshole too”?!
You do you! I strongly believe most people don’t enjoy seeing other people suffering. I’m no saint either but I try my best. I think that’s a way better starting point than your take.
I’m with you on that. Most people all to thankfully give up their responsibility and do what they are told. The less they see the outcome of their actions the better (drone Pilots for example).
Anyway, i think the stanford prision experiment is a bad example for that though, because it also incorprates peer pressure and concludes that nobody will think twice doing harm to others, as long as they are told to do so by authority. Humanity isn’t that bad I hope
Not to burst your bubble but
Stanford Prison Experiment
was a total hoax:
Ich höre diese Meinung immer wieder aber halte sie für absoluten quatsch: Verschließt du die Augen, vor dem was wichtig ist, wenn du dich weigerst dich mit der flat earth Theorie auseinander zu setzen?
Was man immer bedenken muss, Aufmerksamkeit erzeugt macht und verschiebt Meinungen. Die AFD ist es meiner Meinung nach nicht wert, über sie zu berichten.
Ohne die Medien und das diskutieren über die Person Trump, wäre dieser Trottel niemals gewählt worden.
Es gibt so viele Themen, die es wert sind über sie zu diskutieren. Verschwendet man die Aufmerksamkeit auf die unwichtigen, gibt man diesen nur unnötige credebility.
So many people believe: because they know about a bias, they are not affected. Hint: they are!
Of course corporations should not be able to lobby!
See, we can’t outcompete corporate money and dedication. We will always lose, when profit is more important than say global warming or clean water or affordable / free healthcare.
Capitalism is way better then any other system to create and improve what gets the most profit and it’s by definition without morale.
It should not be allowed to do that with lobbing against the well-being of the people. It only exists because of us.
What I’m trying to say is: that protection is bullshit
