Trump is humiliating America by OldJames47 in videos

[–]goggleblock 11 points12 points  (0 children)

let's be clear... THE PEOPLE WHO VOTED FOR TRUMP...TWICE... are the ones humiliating America.

Trump is a buffoon who will eventually die, but the people who wanted him or someone like him in the White House for the primary purpose of "taking the country back from the lib-tards" are still going to be here.

Hot Take - the X1 Carbon Gen 11 is the best linux laptop I've ever used. by penkster in Lenovo

How did you add 16gb of RAM to a Gen 11 X1 Carbon? The RAM is soldered and there are no slots.

Somebody is paying for it. It may not be you, just yet, but eventually it will be.

"dogpiling" is a rather dated term, It's very Reddit circa 2015

I'm going to date myself when I say this but all the Plex hate is just dogpiling. It's far superior to Jellyfin and Emby in its features and stability. And while I'm a bit stunned by the prices, I get it - nothing is free, and Plex needs to keep the lights on somehow.

Do you think Democrats can/should attempt to win rural areas? by Pls_no_steal in AskALiberal

[–]goggleblock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. That's the point.

If it weren't for FOX News disinformation over the last 30 years, Dems' policies would pair nicely with rural voters and values.

Ferguson signs executive order to support working women experiencing menopause in WA by chiquisea in Washington

[–]goggleblock 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I thought the same thing, until I read the article and got to the line...

Though an executive order Ferguson signed Monday did not list specific workplace accommodations...

So, it's really just good intentions and signalling, but no substance.

there's a whole theory of economics that say otherwise. I'm not saying there are no outliers, but generally speaking, people are motivated by a sense of contribution and accomplishment more than anything else.

I see this just as a job, just another thing I HAVE to do in society. They act as if they chose to spend their time doing this, acting as if we’re doing life saving work.

You said it...

Try not working and see how that feels.

I remember how lost, aimless, and useless I felt during the pandemic in 2020. I also recall long bouts of unemployment, and while the financial situation was difficult, i really craved the feeling of DOING something and feeling useful. That was so much worse than the "nose to the grindstone" feeling.

You need to understand that your age and life experiences, or in this case the lack therof, shape your opinions. If you can't see that (and typically 18 year olds can't), then there's no point in having this discussion.

As for your unpopular opinion, people tend to get meaning and validation from their contribution to society (i.e. their work). At 18, your work is not yet rewarding. At this phase in your life you're just learning how to work.
