Oh no, you!

  • I ask someone who might have an objective opinion on the matter. When buying a 3d printer, I asked the 3d printing community, when buying a car I asked someone who used to own the model I was considering, and when it comes to tools I ask my brother (he's used them all, both professionally and privately).

    In other words, I ask people with first hand experience, and try to avoid the ones who might still be biased. Once getting a solid opinion from someone I trust, I go online to gauge the general impression of the public as a whole, and see if the align with my trusted source.

  • If lemmy counts as social media in the context of this question: In one direction it was meaningful, but all I got back was flaming and brigading. But I'm sure they are convinced I have it the wrong way around. I was calling out a tankie for being objectively wrong in their statements, and that their defense of stalinism was stupid.

  • "Now is not the time. We have more important matters to focus on"

    Gets nothing done regarding any of those matters.

  • Yes, and that's exactly what I'm getting at: One does not become a billionaire without exploiting a system that allows such exploitation to begin with. Nobody gets to where they are without any form of help; I'm fairly well off, and I am very aware of where I got help along the way. Becoming a billionaire is simply the result of taking any help offered to you without paying back your fair share, and that's where the faults lie: The society that hands out government subsidies with no stipulation past a "trust me bro".

    Laws and policies need to be enacted that stifled an individuals economic growth past a certain point, effectively preventing people from becoming billionaires in the first place.

  • Billionaires in themselves aren't the problem. The circumstances creating them are. And not taxing them appropriately even more so.

  • Agreed. And to dispell the impression of posts having to be PhD dissertations: Pee pee poo poo

    I am, however, a judgmental prick, but I (usually) keep those opinions to myself. I will silently judge youbased on your posts and comments, and leave it at that.

  • I don't speak Hungarian, but the Norwegian word for Extra is "statist", as in someone who is part of a static set. I would think the Hungarian word has a similar meaning/origin, and that the lack of context threw the translator off.

  • I just wanted to let you know you're not the only one with that misunderstanding to begin with. Hope it helps.

    TIL what a wenis is...

  • Except from the school aspect, yes, a little. While 33.6 kbaud was a PITA, websites were built to accommodate it. And I made a lot of extra cash sailing the high seas.

  • No Pornhub option?

  • It put me on a path where I did what I liked doing, instead of what I was supposed to do. Today I get paid handsomely for a set of niche skills in IT that are hard to find. If I'd gone the normal route I would probably instead have been confined to being some sort of corporate sysadmin that spends most of the day fixing people's email.

  • Seinfeld has worse jokes, while Friends has worse characters. But Seinfeld has by far the worst personnel involved in the production.

  • Angry Mod, here. I actually upvoted him.
