Not just the surplus value, the actual value, too, through Wage Theft!

[-] AMillionNames@sh.itjust.works 22 points 8 months ago

So basically, time and space.

"The Commons" would also work. I'm still sore about that, that was my god damn indigenous land.

I discovered one lighter that no one will steal from me. They'll give it back to me a week later when we run into each other. It's a Toronto Maple Leafs lighter. I buy them whenever I see them now.

Someone left their lighter at a house party we had. "Donnie's fucking lighter" was professionally printed on it. I have so much respect for Donnie.

I realize this is talking about actual theft, but all I can think of when I see the image this:

This is the time to say it - the two objects in the image are examples of great design. The best design.

Lol where'd the only interesting comment chain in this thread go? I thought this was supposed to be not like reddit, but are we deleting entire threads of civil discussion now without even acknowledging it?

Depends on your client. I'm pretty sure you can still see the non-deleted comments in Jerboa.

edit: Yes, you can.

I'm in KBin and have the same thread but with the first comment that it seems you don't have.

It reads "Indigenous land is a tough one. If you stick with that, Israel is just taking their land back, and right wing European politicians have the moral high ground."

[-] Rediphile@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Hmm ty. Not sure if my 'sync' app is glitching or something. But the upvotes I received make me inclined to think I'm not the only one who had that specific chain disappear all of the sudden.

Edit: K so they were deleted as suspected. But why? While some people disagreed with each other, it was a civil discussion with the intention of providing a solution to a real issue. Very concerning such a thing would get deleted at all.

[-] Masimatutu@mander.xyz 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

No, it's the original comment that got deleted (probably by the creator), and then some clients don't show the following thread because they have no top-level comment to attach to.

[-] Rediphile@lemmy.ca 4 points 8 months ago

Ahhh kk gotcha. Seems like just displaying [deleted by user] for that initial comment across all clients would make things a lot more clear.
