And then you are fired if that sales guy is actually running the show. Politics...

Yes, since the problem is the motivation right now. Human beings are not robots, and when they are treated like that, things dont end well.

I think at some point, people have to stop working so hard and say "this is not fair, and we have reached our limit now".

We havent always been in end game capitalism mode. Its now in the last few decades that its very obvious that workers are not treated the way they should as human beings. If you view people as expendable resources, you dont deserve to have them working for you.

But sure, I can see the other side of this. Workers are paid and should work to the best of their capacity. But there is another dimension here when work turns into misery and the worker cant quit because he wont survive without a paycheck. Once you have created a society like that, you have endless misery for workers and they should stop working to create a forced change in society.

In Europe, people fought very hard for their five week vacations. Because of that fight, workers still enjoy that even today. It doesnt come without a fight.

He posted on his Truth Social platform early on Sunday, adding: “GREAT PROGRESS MADE!!!” He did not elaborate on the progress.

LOL, typical Trump. :)

People should be more lazy actually. Why the fuck is everyone working so hard? We are at peak capitalism, its already downhill since a decade back...

In peak capitalism, workers are maximum exploited and companies act like kings and get away from almost anything. So workers should work hard in this environment? I dont think so.

No, thats a conspiracy theory. There are no differences between anyone existing in the universe, we are all exactly the same.

How did you last 5 years of that crap? Your brain must be half broken now. Can you even focus for 10 minutes on a book or does your brain constantly feel the need for dopamine hit?

I see teenagers on the train on tiktok and they all seem lost.

Anyway i wouldnt worry about what people write there. Its not reality, its just kids with phones. But you should get off tiktok yes. :)

Always interesting how it looks exactly like earth with a different color temperature.

 

One of the best things I read was an 1889 essay by Andrew Carnegie called The Gospel of Wealth. It makes the case that the wealthy have a responsibility to return their resources to society, a radical idea at the time that laid the groundwork for philanthropy as we know it today.

In the essay’s most famous line, Carnegie argues that “the man who dies thus rich dies disgraced.” I have spent a lot of time thinking about that quote lately. People will say a lot of things about me when I die, but I am determined that "he died rich" will not be one of them.

“Now this—this is the greatest sandwich ever created. We’re talking historic. It’s got the best balloney—the best, not that fake deli junk—they say it’s 100% truth meat, just like me. The Russian dressing? It’s strong, it’s bold, it respects strength. Putin himself said, ‘Donald, this dressing is beautiful.’ And the pickle—tiny, yes, but it gets the job done. Tremendous flavor, very efficient. Some people are even saying it’s a perfect sandwich—maybe even the most masculine sandwich of all time. Crooked media won’t admit it, but they’re eating it too, behind closed doors. Everybody wants a bite of the Trump Sandwich. It wins. It just wins.”

Your friends will actually be very curious if you do it.

Just do it. See it as a test of your inner strength. This is something i wouldnt dare to do myself, but that means i respect people who do!

Hitler got elected because people wanted change. And he was appearently very popular at first, with a very unique, strong and beautiful voice and nice blue eyes that the ladies went for. Tons of charisma.

Of course almost all mentions of Hitler shows him as a raving lunatic, because thats how we want people to think about him. But its dangerous, because it doesnt show how someone like that actually ended up in power and was popular and listened to by the entire country. How he did that is what we need to pay attention to. He probably had a simular mix of charisma, confidence and even charm that the orange man has.

You guys have to be careful to not let Trumpster get too far. They never teach at school how to go against leaders, because they want obedient workers. But you have to learn that and realize how some peoples brains are tricked into supporting someone like this.

 

He blamed a "concerted effort" by other countries that offer incentives to attract filmmakers and studios, which he described as a "National Security threat".

"WE WANT MOVIES MADE IN AMERICA, AGAIN!"

US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick responded to the announcement, saying "We're on it".

This is an actual thing. I figured it was made up, but no, Trump is serious. :)

 

I know this sounds bad, but maybe this is a blessing in disguise. Necessity is the mother of invention and maybe browser technology should be funded by governments instead of privately owned advertising megacorps?

 

I always like these articles that question the common mindset and teach us something.

Of course at the same time, my hope for humans goes down, but thats another story... :)

 

No matter what happens, I believe the author is correct. Europe will not trust the US in a long time. Trump actually has managed to destroy the image of America in the entire world, in a few months.

 

"The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy, the empathy exploit,” Musk said. “There it’s they’re exploiting a bug in Western civilization, which is the empathy response.”

Probably a lot of us are tired of Musks ramblings but I just thought this is clearly showing why he is so dangerous.

I think Musk may be more of a psychopath than Donald Trump, who is more of a narcissist but hopefully not a full blown maniac.

 

Dont forget that nothing bad lasts forever, and previous generations went through wars and hardships too.

It certainly feels like madness is in control of the US, but its just greed and lust for power and attention. There is no difference between the undeveloped child that is taking the entire sandbox and these people. Some humans desire nothing more than to take from others until there is nothing left. Maybe its part of their spiritual evolution.

Perhaps there something to learn from their behavior. We get reminded of how not to be towards others. They are a very clear example of souls that feels much more primitive than the animals we have around us.

This too shall pass. :)

Shows all the information Google gets from just one photograph, using Ai.

 

This is not dystopian at all, is it? Humans sleeping in pods. I guess it beats homelessness but this seems like a fail on epical levels (unless profits for these pod companies are what we care about).

 

New thunderbird available for android now. :)

 

It. Is. Never. Enough.

You paid hundreds of dollars for a new monitor, but it doesn't matter. More ads, more profits.

I hate it.

Alien Romulus (lemmy.today)
submitted 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) by 1984@lemmy.today to c/movies@lemmy.world
 

I just watched alien romulus and I thought it was really frustrating. What happened to the lethal face huggers and the older, experienced crew of spaceships that got paid like shit by the company?

Now they are hitting face huggers left and right with sticks, and people just get up after having one over their face.

I didn't feel like I cared about the characters. They were actually quite unlikeable. I really miss Ripley. She had enormous amount of character, strength and intelligence. What did we get in this movie? They are all super generic.

Just disappointed. How about you guys?
