  • The paid ones didn't, the free ones did.

  • The almost endless pool of workers is what drives 996. If one doesn't want to work, there is always someone else to replace him/her. Remove that from the equation and 996 will be no more.

  • Truly communist countries? As in perfect communism? That doesn't exist, as well as truly capitalist countries, that doesn't exist as well.

  • Why is it nonsence? It makes perfect sense to me 🤷. Granted I may not remember everything correctly and other things that were explained in Zeitgeist, but I think I remeber this correctly.

  • If you're talking about China, no, not really. If you're talking about everyone else... depends... I'd say mostly.

  • Name five what? Things that make communist countries more communist than capitalist countries?

  • Debt is what drives inflation. Let's say you got a total of 1k USD in circulation. Now, let's say that some person decides he needs to borrow 100 USD from the bank. The bank gives him the 100 USD, but with intrest. Let's say that that intrest is 10 USD. So, the person gives back the 100 USD plus 10 USD intrest. But, there's a problem. If a total of 1k USD is in circulation, where do the 10 USD come from. It can't come from thin air, so it has to be printed. Thus, now you have 1.01k USD in circulation which inflates the prices of things.

    There are other reasons as well. This is all well explained in Zeitgeist. I suggest you take a look at the documentaries.

  • To be honest, they are more communist than capitalist countries.

  • Yeah, Jerboa still doesn't support it.

  • Maybe that was the play, drive everyone out of the building so they can have sex in peace.

  • Yeah, I was talking about the tech side of things, not the user base. The user base is great, can't complain.

  • Lemmy... I can't think of a more perfect example right now.

    Well, maybe not peak, but definitely grow fast. It wasn't ready for this kind of a growth spree.

  • I've been in the wrong place my entire life. I was born in the wrong place. I don't feel like I've ever belonged here. And then I see people in other more stable countries and see how they function on a day to day basis and I realize more and more that I'm just not cut out to live where I currently live. Here, you gotta have strings in every single government agency, ministry, whatever, in order to survive... cuz everyone tries to fuck you over a million different ways, so you gotta watch your back all the time. I'm just not designed like that. It's like someone did a lobotomy on my brain when I was born an threw that EQ part of it in some dumpster. I'm socially friendly and I love hanging out with people, but when it comes to seing red flags or signs that something bad might happen, I'm just... a complete dummy. Years of hanging out with all sorts of people have corrected this side of me, up to a point, but it's still not good enough. I really feel like I was just born without that gift, unfortunatelly, a gift that so many people rely on (at least around here, street smart is the way to go here, otherwise you're fucked). And I'm just tired... just tired of endlessly lagging behind everyone esle around here. I'm not stupid, I know I'm not, but being smart has nothing to do with being street smart... unfortunatelly.

    That being said, I beat myself over for years why sometimes so simple social concepts or warnings escape me, but are so blaintly obvious to everyone else. But, I stopped doing that. I just set different goals for myself. I am obviously born in the wrong place and my brain is just not wired to think like people do around here. I have tried, I really have, but I feel like I'm always miles away behind everyone else. I currently can't leave this place, my wife doesn't want to leave, and we have a son, so it's not an option right now. But as soon as the kid is a bit grown, I am definitely out of here.

    And the fucking heat... can't fucking stand the heat 😭... every fucking summer, every god damn summer, it's the same story, over and over, 45C on a good day 😭. We didn't even have snow this winter, it barely went below 10C.

  • I may be on the spectrum, who knows... that's not a field that is that well developed where I live, so practically, short of dumping a lot of money and flying over to a western country to get myself checked, there's very little anyone can tell me here. Hell, ADHD is news here, lol, people still don't know how to diagnose it, so they go abroad 🤷.

  • Maybe, who knows...

    My mom gave me this advice. None of the advices she has ever given me have ever panned out right.

  • If they can buy the .ml domain, everything can work as it was. The question is, are they even for sale right now.
