Lol not showing adequate deference to the noble profession of HR is right wing vitriol?

I don’t understand what people find so hard to believe about people having bullshit jobs. Have you guys never been on Linkedin? Tip: 99 percent of everyone with a three word title (”manager” counts double) that needs a convoluted essay to describe their basic function, has a bullshit job.

They may or may not be able to coast like OP, but when they do: nothing changes. There’s an entire industry based around avoiding getting caught coasting, look up ”mouse jigglers” for an example. If the customer base’s output was important, demanding input proportional to the time they are required to be ”at work” and/or directly quantifiable – there would be a very small market for mouse jigglers.

The only incredible thing about this is how insanely stupid it is to have such an economic dysfunction be a hallmark of the economic system, but hey, that’s late stage capitalism for you.

At an average return of 7 percent – extremely conservative in this day and age and in the context of the mega rich – having 1 000 billion dollars will make you 70 billion dollars in a year without lifting a finger.

So yeah.

Maybe I should have worded it differently. I’d wager that Lemmy, as is, is very few Lemmy users’ ideal platform, mainly because it’s very small. For instance, while it is a filter bubble of sorts, the small user base makes it hard to filter content to your preference. It’s more or less a take it or leave it proposition.

May I’m projecting, but at least I’m here seeking refuge from algorithmic enshitification, not necessarily the mixture of Linux memes and random politics I’m getting.

Not saying I hate it – many things I’m very fond of – just that it’s not all that I want in a platform (as is).

You’re not wrong, but a difference is that most lemmings don’t really want to be here, i.e are in exile and pretty up front about that. I’m not saying it isn’t an echo chamber, but it’s a much messier one than Bluesky.

We’ll burn more and more coal to power air conditioners to deal with unbearable global warming until that’s no longer possible.

The financial markets are the same. No reasonable person believes any of this is sane or sustainable. But what happens when the music stops? Very few chairs.

It’s a mystery to me why so many apparently serious investors are treating it like anything other than a scam.

Enter the assumption that serious investors basically consider the entire bubble/market a scam, and it becomes less of a mystery.

Reminder that, when I say that I’m technically not fucking any supermodels right now, it doesn’t imply that I actually am.

This gets glossed over too often, the US lacks any credibility, across the board. They’ve skipped right past the marrying your horse phase of civic collapse.

It’s plain as day and nobody gives a shit. Stunning.

To my mind, Russia is just ahead of the curve — it’s a country that underwent wholesale collapse in the 90’s and was ultimately stabilized by Putin and his oligarchs molding the ruins of the Soviet empire to their benefit.

Now the US is teetering on collapse as well, with dollar hegemony drawing to an end and global financial markets in some kind of a hissy fit to reshuffle wealth before the music stops for the AI bubble (and ultimately the real economy crumbling from climate destabilization).

Elon Musk soon becoming a trillionaire is the fourth horseman of the capitalist apocalypse. I have very little faith in the reasoning of anybody who cannot see that a failed car salesman and notorious lunatic being the richest person in the world – by a wide margin – is a sign of an economic system that is profoundly unwell.

Sadly, I think Trump and Putin may be previews for what’s to come when the oligarchs of world use the chaos to impose a new economic order, based on AI surveillance and severe policing of those not ”loyal” to the nebulous interests of the government(s). To my mind, it’s unlikely to be harmonious or pleasant to those in the ever expanding, bottom rung of societies like that.

I mean, they kinda already did a decade ago.

Super hot take time: giving the bull a chance to go out swining isn’t that much worse than having it put down ”humanely” in a factory, spending it’s last time in a line that reeks of blood.

The real crime is against entertainment. Who am I supposed do be rooting for here? Apparently not the underdog that’s outnumbered and surrounded by a bunch of dirty spaniards with swords and near zero chance of winning.

Who watches this? Seriously!

Not sure if it will make a difference to you if I say that I’m not from USA.

Yes, in the sense that I find it mindboggling that anyone outside the US would be impressed with Trump’s domestic opposition.

Dude, your governement is verbatim (!) talking about killing whole civilzations.

The ratio of Americans that would take the risk of imporisonment or individual harm VS Americans that will risk their lives and die for killing babies (for no apparent reason) basically remains 0 : ∞.

It’s the most armed and violent country in the civilzed world and still it remains perfectly safe to be an operative of the fucking apocalypse.

What recent months have thaught us is that there are only two types of Americans: those that will actively fuck over the world and those that will them.

Trump cannot be undone by Americans, because they all either actively or passively support and enable him. The only possible solution is foreign intervention. Since European leaders are just as useless as the Americans and the Chinese have their own insane imperialist ambitions, I guess we’re all shit out of luck.

I would have been in the market for one, but they were already a terrible value proposition.

Meanwhile, Mac Mini prices have held stable at an already good price/performance ratio…

Finally, I see this referenced in the wild
