10·6 months agoI met one of those men, several decades ago, maybe the least worst on the list, maybe not. They can all afford to share the wealth with the rest of the world, via 93% tax rates and a hefty wealth tax.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the most petty/pointless/pedantic hill you're willing to die on?
2·1 year agoThat’s fine, it’s just hard to know without hearing native speakers’ pronunciations and you’ve only read it. Thanks for the reply!

3·1 year agoIs it? The voice in my head pronounced zshi when I read it.

5·1 year agoThis was the most refreshingly honest answer I’ve read in a long time. And it made me laugh. Thanks for both.

politics @lemmy.world•What the Democrats doubting Biden have in common
3·1 year agoLol. That first line was crazy.
I may be misremembering. His son was most recently in the news and I haven’t read anything about him in quite some time. I’ll give it a listen. Thanks again so much.
Ron who named his kid after ayn rand Paul? It’s been a long time since I heard anything he said, and since Nevuary since I heard him say anything that wasn’t wholly selfish. Can you please share some things he said that made sense to you? I may check him out but I’m not promising anything. I’ve never heard of the others, but I hope they’re not just more “I’ve got mine, fu,” types.
Bear with me, I’m trying to learn how to think again. Firstly, where can I find quality information, and I don’t have money, so if it’s not freely accessible, I’m not getting it, and if it is, I’ve no idea where to find it.
Secondly, I’m willing to hear you out while also noting Democrats (big D) are major benefactors of corporate greed (eg Pelosi not wanting insider trading laws, and the stock market probably ought to be illegal, in my limited perspective).
Thanks.
Your patience and calmness are infinite, and I wish I could follow you on this instance. I too have been conditioned toward alarmism but have been getting over it, and I see your point.
Like they kept telling us inflation was supply chain issues since COVID, but when you do the digging, it’s corporate price-gouging, from corporate farm to corporate processors, to corporate distributors, to the corporate chain stores. The only ones not making huge profits are independent retailers, who may or not have a higher or lower price than a corporation, on any given good on any given day (that doesn’t inherently make them good or evil). You’re making me think and the conclusions are certainly not ThE oBvIoUs ones. Thank you.

Excellent Reads@sh.itjust.works•When the New York Times lost its way: America’s media should do more to equip readers to think for themselves
2·1 year agoThe fairness doctrine? Eta: I’m aware it was for broadcast, but it used to be fairly standard, anyway, in print.
Before much longer, no one will be able to go out in daylight.

Technology@lemmy.world•Most consumers hate the idea of AI-generated customer serviceEnglish
2·1 year agoI’ve called companies that disconnect the call or “in order to connect you to the right agent, please tell us what you’re calling about,” them inevitably get it wing enough times to make you sit through a menu of about ten choices that are not correct and disconnect after three rounds of this nonsense.

8·1 year ago"I’m sorry you’re frustrated, perhaps it’s time to start a new topic.’
“I’m not going to respond to that.”
"I only use my powers for good!”





I’m not convinced this is a bad thing.
