Working computer - >Mac
Should have been:
Do you have more money than brains?->Mac
Or
Fuck this, I’m doing this for shit and giggles. ->Mac
Well… Yes… But… Maybe… I mean… Sure…
I’ll let myself out, confused as always.
What I’ve seen many times (and what often still is a pretty good deal)
- JAN: product X, 1100 bucks
- FEB: product X EOL. last items BUY NOW - 20%!
- MAR
- APR
- MAY
- JUN
- JUL
- AUG
- SEP
- OCT: some warehouse: Fuck. Is that a a stash of product X?
- NOV: BLACK FRIDAY WEEK! Product X -45%! LIMITED STOCK!
Have you seen the beginning of the movie “Fury”? How the new guy had to “clean out” his seat in the tank?
106·1 year agoWhat you’re doing here is the exact same as them: no discussion possible. The only valid viewpoint is yours. The end. And you also add a verdict to your sentence.
I agree with them. You dont kill (cull) a child because of money. You never kill a child.
I also agree with you that a fetus is not a child. And that abortion is not evil or bad.
See? Both can be true.
It’s not an rpg and it’s not set in space! It’s a porn flic about rimming in the sky.
Really gross.
You forgot the 80s, 90s and 00s. Keep up. :)
Yeah, feel ya. We seem to have failed and most of us embraced the system we so fiercely opposed against.
If you can’t beat them…
The right response to this meme would be that other meme: first time?
:)
What I mean to say is : this bullshit is of all times.
Just look back in recent history. A long string of wars and economic downturns. GEN Xers have everything you have and the wonderful 70s, 80s & 90s added to the mix. You know, the never ending Vietnam war, Afghanistan, iran, gulf wars, yugoslavia, kaukasus, latin america in flames and a lot of other bullshit.
Economics? Ad to present day woes the oil crisis, housing crisis of the 80s where 15% mortgage rates meant that yes, housing was cheap and no, nobody could pay the mortgage and that bullshit in the 90s which I cant remember by name. And the dot.com burst of the 00’s.
We all want it to stop. Like forever. But you know the line :
Money talks , bullshit walks.
The money is talking. We’re just sitting here bullshitting. And, to end with that other meme, apparently: this is fine.
Because we in Europe are all voting hard right and across the pond people seem hell bend on the return of the orange faced demented warrior. And can we really blame 'em? Because what choice do they really have? Grandpa1 vs grandpa2? A competition about whose dementia is the worst? What’s this? The soviet polit bureau of the 80s? ?
So. Yes, you reap what you sow.
15·1 year agoYou say that now, but just you wait until you see a B17 in the dark ages bombing the shit out those darn castles all over Europe.
Then it all comes together.
Ever heard about echo chambers?
I thought this was a discussion platform. Not a blocking platform. Blocking every feddit.de user is a very weird take.
“everybody (well, 90%) criticizing me are nazi’s.”
Yup.
That’s not what everybody says and the guy you’re replying to most certainly did not say.
He says it’s not black and white. You’re telling us that’s it’s very black and white. And you’re screaming to the admins to have him, this discussion removed. Only you can be right, is that it? Discussions, other viewpoints can not exist?
I don’t agree with that. Neither of those takes. It’s just not black and white. The world never was black or white. 0 or 1. Only code is binary in the end. And platforms like this exist to discuss, not to block.
The nuremberg trials where real. People got punished for their crimes. Sure, not everyone. That’s impossible. Some got away. And yes, some where worth more, to better society, alive then dead.
Is that a fascist take? I don’t know. To me it’s not. I’m just grateful my grandparents got through the aftermath of ww2. And I do know that was only possible because not everyone in government got executed for being nazi aligned during the war.
They had knowledge which was worth preserving. Knowledge about science, diplomacy or the ability to govern. Stuff like that was worth a lot: europe and the Pacific where in shambles. Cities destroyed. Industry leveled, infrastructure bombed to oblivion. That preserved knowledge has been used to speed up the rebuilding. Without it millions more would’ve died, suffered in the aftermath.
By the way, this discussion is only possible because of “nazi” tech. Our whole frikkin’ modern world is build on it. No Werner no rockets. No rockets no sattelites. No sattelites no Internet. Etc. Benz, volkswagen, BMW, Siemens, the list goes on and on. German (and Japanese) tech was and is everywhere.
Regarding your take on reddit : this place is a bigger echo chamber then I ever experienced over there. Which is a shame. It stops discussions before they begin and lessen the interaction with the platform.
Since I’m in Europe not much. Not big enough to really change something or set something bigger in motion.
This is what I find interesting: https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/15/investing/michael-burry-stock-market-crash/index.html
We all are. Always have been. That was my point. I don’t own my house, the bank does and as long as I pay each month half of my income they allow me to live in it. I will never own it 100%.
The things you’re pointing at have always been a problem, nothing new. And each year those problems grow. As do the deficiencies of our governments, our states.
Nobody expects you to do anything. Just don’t expect anything in return and you’re golden.
BTW, you sound like me in the 80s. And that’s not meant as an insult or something, it’s just an observation. I’m curious if that says something about the economic & society cycle and where we are in it.
My third even, 100% bank owned. Cannot afford to switch again so I think this is it till the end. All my under 30 colleagues also have their own by the way. It’s fucking expensive especially with 3 kids who probably cannot move out the next 10 years.
I know where you’re coming from, having older kids myself. It’s hard and unfair. But that’s how it always been. The unfair part isn’t new.
Looking back thinking it was easier in the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s is, I’m sorry to say, disillusional. You’re just looking at housing (which was also bullshit in the 80s, and 00s by the way) and forget the rest of the shit of those times. 80s wasn’t fun, my dad lost his job, we only kept our house because my grand parents died and the inheritance filled the financial hole. 00s also wasn’t fun, being a part of the greatest depression since the 30s, I was fortunate to keep my IT job, a lot of mates lost everything. (job, house, marriage, because bad finance kills relations I’ve learned.) My wife did get fired and still is not at the same level as back then. But we get by, thank you for asking.
Finance is a bitch. Always has been.
Nobody wants that. But getting fucked in life is unfortunately a large part of living it.
Tsss, calling me an old nerd on lemmy. You’re a nerd! You’re on Lemmy!
But yes, i wildly, loudly concur woth most of this thread: my kids can’t be bothered with HOW something works. It just has to work. No interest at all in tcp, udp, whats a bit, byte why is everything in multiples of 8: that’s all nerd shit. And, indeed: my shit. Dad! You’re the nerd: fix this!
