Same energy as Quinten Tarantino refusing to answer some questions about violence in media or using the N word in movies.

It's been asked a thousand times, you have nothing new to add to this discussion, we're moving on.

Guaranteed knockout, first time every time.

It works quite well against the cardies.

Hey look.

It's my shocked face.

Can you tell I'm shocked?

I'm going for "shocked".

😐

You're actually the first one to ever comment on the punctuation change. I've been waiting for this day for years.

So uh.... 👉😎👉 Zoop

1: holy shit that title is a.... It's something, alright.

B- if you spend extra money on top of normal costs on a game that's still not even released, you get what you fucking deserve.

You could also just replace all that with "It's a load of bullshit that data hoarding companies managed to convince EU lawmakers was a thing in order to legally hoard data they can't otherwise legally hoard.

Look, the temporal prime directive means I shouldn't even be talking to you.

But if I had my ship you bet your arse.

To summarize the comment you are replying to:

"astronauts dying is a price Boeing is willing to pay"

"now pay the executives their bonus because, as executives, they are better than you. They also built this country by themselves with their bare hands, without help"

It's extremely facetious, and pointing out that Boeing doesn't give a shit about safety or the people in space, they just want money.

If you're upset that lemmy isn't trying to solve this problem..... Well then I can't help you there. This isn't a place to investigate solutions to global problems or company management issues.

If you want to have one, by all means go make one yourself! unless you turn the speed dial to Plaid, it literally can't be worse than the shitty job the companies are currently doing.

You know that "men only want one thing and it's fucking disgusting" meme?

For me it's an electric Toyota Hilux. And not a new one, unless it's one of the originals that's been sealed away for decades.

And I'm sure all the prisoners in the US are so thankful to have such an impressive rehabilitation system to ensure they don't commit more crimes.

Just because the "official" purpose is one thing, don't think for a second anyone who profits from it gives a shit. From the company manager who gets a bonus to the politician they paid off.

The fact that even when trying to be dystopian as fuck, depressingly bad, showcasing the worst decisions that the more aggressive (and let's be honest, savage by comparison) people of the past, they give humanity WAY too much credit.

Not a chance in hell anyone would create special areas for homeless people unless there were some ulterior motive. Because even though the cost of housing and programs to educate, therapy to help with any issues stemming from homelessness or mental disorders (including many that you will likely get just from being homeless that never showed up before) and substance abuse problems (that again, likely were not present pre-homelessness) is WAY lower than what we pay to "deal with it" the way we do, everyone just kind of seems okay with how the homeless get treated.

And when you are watching 27 different angles of a bunch of people filming cops going around beating homeless people and dragging out of tents by their hair in order to burn them down with all the possessions inside, and nobody fucking lifts a finger to help those being opressed, it really winks in that maybe we don't deserve to make it past the bell riots.

Because even the shitty oppressive government of a fictional universe where most governments are completely changed, gone or barely dangling by a thread is a hell of a lot better than the shit we're stuck with.

You know, the longer we live, the more people realize that in a CAPITAL based society, the people with the CAPITAL make the rules. And if they decided "no, we DON'T have to pay the fines that poors have to" then... That's basically become all that happens.

"hey you did an illegal and/or a fine-able offence(the fines for which were determined at a time that doesn't reflect modern profits for companies) but since we are being told you're have lots of money, go ahead and keep doing it but pinky promise you'll change eventually"

Just enough of a protest to make the unimportant people think you've done something, but not enough to do anything of substance.

And I honestly wonder just how long it will be before "the poors" and "the unimportant people" will have enough and decide to punish companies and their leaders themselves.
