It wasn’t necessary, he was staying alive

No, what you experienced is called apophenia - you see connections between things that are unrelated. Your friend is fine

And back then they weren’t called “memes” but we called them (de)motivational pictures

Do we have r/im14andthisisdeep on Lemmy?

While I comple agree with her, you’re right that metaphor is kind of … meh. Like I get what she’s trying to say it’s just that you can twist that metaphor in some uncomfortable ways.

Btw the magic wand is the answer if you don’t like the vibrator idea

I’m from the 90s and can confirm this is true

My 2 cents:

• I think that saying was about democracy, not capitalism
• Bear in mind that US is a capitalist lunapark. Most developed countries understood that social policies are absolutely necessary for people, even though we could call those countries a “capitalist country” or countries “based on capitalism”. Just saying that don’t take what’s happenning in the US as a base because it’s not
• If we’re about to start to brainstorm about different systems - bear in mind that (not all but many) people are greedy, proud, jealous and sometimes assholes. And personally, I have a really hard time to design a system that would handle all those wonderful human treats in some decent way

P.S. I was born in socialist Czechoslovakia and its goal was noble but … it’s amazing to watch human greed and jealousy to take over a system like socialism

This is fake, no one can code like that

rethinks ability to compete with netflix

Yeah, I canceled my subscription like 2 years ago, loosing my prize of 30% discount in the process (it was a thing since I had HBO GO). I don’t know if it’s a regional thing but there was just nothing new or interresting there. I remember just constant superheroes and Harry Potter. Went for Netflix and never looked back. So, good luck I guess, hopefully they change

Here we go!!! I was expecting the enshitification of this thing for past couple of years

Now calm down, Ned-dily-diddly-diddly-diddly… they did their best, shoddily-iddly-iddly-diddly… gotta be nice, hostily-iddly-diddly-iddly…Ah hell diddly-ding-dong-crap! Can’t you morons do anything right?

Fyi that’s Jamestown on the island of Saint Helena

Also if your wife enjoys being fucked, she might be a spiritual gay man. And do you know how we call people who fuck gay men?

Hahaha, saving

Thank you! I mean how many more reasons do people need?

Oh c’mon, I consider myself to be on the left but this is a strawman and you know it

Edit: if you want this to be more accurate then add this at the end of far left section: “at all cost. And I mean ALL cost.”. And reminder, we’re talking about FAR left here
