  • Made me laugh!

  • I still dont understand how people think its fine seeing ads everywhere they look. What is in their minds....

    It makes the world ugly. Real ugly.

  • This comment made me think how differently we can think of a winner. I guess in America, it means money. But it can also mean being a human being others aspire to be.

    I guess it depends on what we think is the goal of life. Is it to gather money?

    Obviously its a goal for everyone to have some money so its not a problem in daily life to buy what we need.

  • Awfully true.

  • Check the golf course.

  • I was scrolling to find someone else thinking this. Its just a big show and they need peoples attention all the time. Last thing they want is to be ignored. So they say incredible stupid things all the time, daily.

  • I think we actually get to understand now how Hitler came to power. I remember in school, I was mystified how such an hateful man could become a leader of a country. Now I understand.

    History will most likely repeat itself and humanity needs a big war to once again remember what hate leads to.

    It just sucks for the ones who already learned that lesson from basic history.

  • I think you are right. Its just sad but it is true.

  • Americans dont really know how to judge a persons character... Look at the choices for the last few decades... They have all been horrible people, except maybe Joe Biden who was unable to function instead.

    Yes, Jon seems like a good person but I dont think good people are attracted to career politics. Its for the snakes and the lizards.

    But yeah, he would be a good fit if he wanted to sacrifice his happiness for that role. I think he is way too smart for that.

  • I agree, but people dont like to hear that.

    There is always the possibility that we are wrong also.

  • Having government confirm age of users is the beginning of having to use a real id to use the internet. Thats the wet dream of governments and big tech, but its a total nightmare for privacy and discussing things without your real name being known.

    Just watch linkedin and see how discussions are extreamly limited there, since people dont want to discuss sensitive things in front of others using their real name.

  • I also dont watch news and havent for a decade. Its not like im missing something important, since I get to hear about anything actually important anyway. It would be hard to miss things like covid where we actually need to take action. Even here on Lemmy, people seem to be discussing a lot of current events in the news, so... Dont need to watch TV news.

  • I dont know. Maybe ive been unlucky but "diversity" has meant a lot of people with very different personalities, which has meant that people dont become friends. Has it meant something different to you? Maybe for you its the other way, and you dont have anything incommon with the typical worker (whatever bro means in this context, maybe males and you are female?) , so you welcome more people like yourself.

    Doesnt everyone actually want collegues that are as close to yourself in personality as possible so you feel you have common ground?

  • Life.

  • You clearly are not a "team player". HR already has a plan for your life, all you have to do is follow their instructions and things are smooth.

    Feeling unhappy? Deal with that outside of work, and make sure it dont affect your work.

    If its one topic i really feel passionate about, its the entire anti-work thing. Because we are human beings. All of us work because we have to. And thats it.

  • You would understand if you understood the mindset of HR employees. To them, you are joining a life mission, not just a job. And they have a plan for your life so it fits the company objectives. Super great. Except no.

  • Yeah its shocking we are not incredibly grateful isnt it.

    "Nobody wants to work"... :)

  • Locked

  • Sounds exactly like what we do at Lemmy.today.

    That specific part you said, about letting users decide, is the core idea of the entire instance and has been from the start.

    But check out all options before you decide. The Lemmy network needs many different instances to stay strong.

  • It doesnt matter if they reach any end result, as long as stocks go up and profits go up.

    Consumers arent really asking for AI but its being used to push new hardware and make previous hardware feel old. Eventually everyone has AI on their phone, most of it unused.
