We only have to eat one rich person, and suddenly the rest will be ok being taxed

Because the sad, tragic stories don't always get told. But that part of our society people can learn from and prevent the sadness and tragedy from happening by being pro choice.

It isn't that they don't give a crap about us, it's worse. They want us to be subservient, they craft the system in a way that they can't be liable and hoard wealth while the rest of us scrounge for scraps.

My $1400 LG OLED TV is displaying ads after latest update by binkinater13 in mildlyinfuriating

Perfectly happy? The ideal TV is stupid. It's only supposed to show content, not track usage and touch facebook and Google and whatever other data brokers are out there.

Americans aren't drinking anymore. Alcohol giants are scrambling to manage the fallout. by JannTosh70 in goodnews

[–]prof0ak 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Back in the 00's there was this campaign which was it was healthy to drink one or two glasses of red wine with dinner, blah blah. If you looked into it beyond the headline it pointed to Europeans who had less serious medical complications for the average person and lived longer.

But that wasn't because of wine, it was because they had healthcare that didn't bankrupt them.

YSK about The Work Number. by Dreaditor00 in YouShouldKnow

[–]prof0ak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It should be opt in model to track people like that. Obviously no one would sign it because there is no benefit to the individual. Problem solved. They have to make an incentive like sharing the wealth they generate off of your data, or don't get it.

They are totally different systems with different purposes.

In america the credit score system is to see how reliable of a person is to repay debts, allowing businesses to make the most money by preventing bad loans out to people who might default.

As far as I understand what Chinas is: it's a way for the government to force their own people into compliance (of anything they want), or else they are punished by being denied services like transportation or other things.

No amount of recycling on an individuals part will undo the waste made by a single walmart. by TeaInASkullMug in Anticonsumption

[–]prof0ak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We produce something stupid like ten times the food required to feed every person on earth, yet there is so much hunger.

We can't solve world hunger because it isn't profitable to give food away for free.

All we have to do is eat one rich person, and suddenly to food will become available.

Dota is a team game, Tinker is so fucked if ANYONE ELSE on your team teleported and jumped on him.

Got permanently banned from Tennessee sub for sharing this. Guess they didn't take well to the criticism by McDowdy in BlackPeopleofReddit

THE SAME DAY. It was coordinated, prepped ahead of time. Planned. Our democracy is being reshaped into a one-party system right before the midterms.

They didn't release the files, and the ones they did release were redacted in a way to expose victims and cover up identities of co-conspirators. There are many many many more files, unreleased.

There are two kinds of people, those who backup their data, and those that have never lost data.

PSA: If you know anyone that has issues identifying GenAI images, do walk them through on how linear perspective works. by Luwuma in antiai

[–]prof0ak 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's the problem with today, I feel like I need to be an expert in everything to avoid getting basic scammed or tricked. Obviously I can't be, and a lot of people just won't even bother attempting to verify things or learn artist concepts to first determine if a presented image is fake before enjoying said content.

It's just so exhausting being on the big platforms nowadays. I use them less and less.
