I read a similar article a few weeks ago, and I think your concise summary is better than the article linked in this post.

I think Yanis goes a bit overboard with stating that capitalism kinda no longer exists, since it really is about a new group of rich people simply inserting their companies as evil middlemen who leach money off the whole system.

I’m not sure the solution has to be revolutionary or super complex. I’d think that large countries and groups of countries (e.g. USA, the EU) could implement their own mega marketplaces, leaching off much less money and avoiding the sort of corrupt BS that Amazon etc do to keep prices artificially high, and these governments could also stop allowing the mega platforms to do business in their region. Big countries want to facilitate an economy, and if private industry is proving to be too broken with their current approach, governments could step in to create more functional marketplaces that still work nicely in the internet age and don’t have horrible middlemen crap dragging everything down.

That sounds super tasty and fancy. Nice for a special Christmas cocktail!

Great song. Powerful strategic use of dropping the f-bomb, and just an emotionally powerful song overall. It didn’t dramatically change the world, but it got plenty of airplay and it made it’s point.

Old Town Prague is one of the most beautiful city areas in the world. It must cost a fortune to keep that place constantly clean and free of graffiti, but it’s money well spent.

Everquest II was released in 2004. It is pretty crazy that they are still releasing expansions for it. And it’s kinda crazy that I played it for at least a hundred hours earlier this year during a nostalgia binge.

Everquest was released in 1999

Is it a ‘crisis’ if the industry has been doing the same thing consistently for the last 30 years, or just a terrible industry for the workers, whose enthusiasm for working on games clouds their judgement regarding what they consider acceptable working conditions?

It doesn’t seem like a crisis for the companies if they still get one or two hundred applicants for many positions they post.

Kbin and Lemmy etc should simply allow options for preferred languages, and people can select whatever they prefer. Giving them the option to not see posts or see translated posts should work out fine. I bet this problem get resolved eventually. In the meantime, I’m not too bothered by blocking magazines/communities that are non-english. No biggie.

It’s mostly a solo game. You explore, build bases, buy and upgrade ships and tools/weapons, and other assorted stuff. More than anything else, it’s a cool random planet generator, so you travel around checking out planets until eventually that gets boring, which might happen soon, of after a couple hundred hours.

This seems like a really good idea, and I love that the article actually acknowledges that there are other countries in world which sometimes have good examples of how to do various things. Virtually every neighborhood should have reasonably quick/nearby access to a decent grocery store.

Shouldn’t I be out there hunting and killing right now?!

That bird is mine!

Dinner or drinks first, or it’s likely to not work out. But I wouldn’t care about a TV tuner, so you can safely cut dinner (but leave in at least a drink or two…I mean come on)

Yes, indeed.

Move in w/family members, get on food stamps, run up credit card debt…a variety of ways, really. Usually several combined.

Wow, really awesome work you and the admins have done.

Solar Installer or Wind turbine installer. Manager or project manager at companies that do solar or wind power installations.

Artist who builds sculptures out of scrap metal and/or trash or recycled objects.

An updated version of ‘junk yard owner’, possibly refurbishing or otherwise breathing new life into objects that would normally be trashed, and selling them to new owners.

You have nothing to be sorry about. You politely inquired about posting memes, you didn’t simply start posting large numbers of them.

I’d prefer that memes mostly exist in communities clearly labeled to be meme filled, so that I can ignore them most of the time. I keep blocking more and more communities because I see a few memes from them…

Good for you!

I do the same, in my tiny little of area in the country side. I go for a walk in the mornings along the road, and pick up any trash I find. Most country roads around here are very trashed (Texas), but my little area is quite nice.

At least one of my neighbors litters like crazy as they drive, obviously just throwing out beer cans, food containers etc along the road, as often as they can. They are a broken human being, but I still keep things clean despite their behavior.
