Allowing jail time for movie piracy but none for institutional bank fraud or corporate tax dodging shows what a societies priorities are
I think it’s great that kids are finding ways to avoid debt traps but I worry when colleges become places only accessible to rich people. One of the best indicators for supporting Trump was lack of a college degree. I worry that the inability to be able to be educated just to become educated will lead to populations easier to seduce into facism
I think maybe it isn’t the social media itself but the fact that we are letting impressionable kids be exposed to multi billion dollar recommendation algos that are designed to exploit human psychology for engagement metrics that get boosted whenever people feel inflamed or ashamed. I feel like we are going to look back in 20 years and see this paradigm as bad as letting cigarettes advertise to kids
No it won’t. This is 1 of many lemmy gaming related communities. Living proof gaming communities don’t need TikTok to thrive
May we all learn from his mistakes and heed his call for better empathetic communication in our daily interactions.
Most of men touch is contextualized in violence, from fathers beating sons, to only having physical contact during combat sports or training for team sports with pushing and shoving techniques. As a result men tend to be hyper aware when they are touching other men and unless it’s sexual(and they are gay), do not tend to find joy in it. Platonic touch gestures do happen, but it’s simply not something men are raised to enjoy, and so long as society necessitates that men be available to serve as soldiers, I find it highly unlikely that same society will restructure how it raises men so that they may enjoy platonic touch contexts. Having a population frustrated enough to be capable of violence if needed is still useful enough to keep its undercurrent themes alive in the background. Until there is no organized violent conflict, men will be always raised with the understanding that “just in case” they must be raised with some sort of violent touch
While self driving cars seem like a good way for enterprise to bypass the cost of paying a driver, the driver’s other function isn’t just to drive the car, but to be liable for its operation.
I wonder if it’s gonna take an insurance company to push for driverless before we see any driverless cars for sale. And if insurance companies don’t want to be liable then we may never see them.
Newsflash: it’s illegal to conquer
I’m sure mining in space will have its own problems but at least it can’t kill our biosphere
I would agree if mining the rocks on earth didn’t cause ecological collapses and kill off animals and displace indigenous and exploit underprivileged ethnic classes in post colonial hellholes
No but if you wrote a musical about prohibition, submitted it to apple, but apple rejects it, discourages other producers from picking it up and then apple made a musical about the prohibition, you may have a case. I think the issue is the thematic stylistic interpretation was copied over either intentionally or unintentionally, and the court needs to decide if it’s worth a suit
Mark my words, Tucker Carlson will be the next republican candidate and he’ll have major male based support
