I think the authoritarian personalities usually make the demands themselves, and do the twisting and manipulation of "getting things done".

But I get who you mean... The easily molded "patriots" who obey and do whatevers asked of them. The ones who go along fully and enthusiastically with the narrative authorities give them... Because they too want to see and conduct the violence.

It's 506 billionaire euros:

At the previous summit, Belgium blocked the decision; Euroclear Holding, which holds the immobilized assets on its balance sheet, is headquartered there. In an interview with RTBF Valerie Urbain, Euroclear’s сhief executive officer, voiced her opposition to the "reparation loan" mechanism and said that she was ready to challenge this decision in court.

This is why Governments need to take the fight against Neo-Liberalism and Capitalism seriously. Nationalise this company, and throw the CEO in jail for a bit.

Disney movies will be AI generated from here on out.

Think about it, simulating real actors or their voices has strings attached. Talking cats don't sue, or require wages.

These cost cutting bean counter types are killing society and the planet. Fuck these people.

Taxes are deflationary (they are the death of money), rather than cut spending - you could just slap a bunch of taxes on Musk and others hoarding of wealth.

That's the problem with spending cuts, you might be cutting deflationary spending, or price stabilizing spending. Not all spending is inflationary.

A homeless person often costs the government more than an unemployed person, because usually they're gonna still be collecting some benefits here and there, often they end up in jail, or are more likely to use public housing, or do crimes which need policing/court involvement... It all stacks up.

Preventing people from becoming homeless is deflationary.

The profit motive, price gouging, and auctions are all inflationary. They raise prices.

As governments fall in love with these things and care less and less about fair prices, price competition, and price regulation - you're going to see more inflation (being ripped off = dollar's buying power shrinks, being protected against that = buying power grows).

When companies decide they just need a few high end customers to sell a premium products to, rather than compete for the majority of the market - you're going to see inflation.

Capitalism is inflationary.

I'd need time durations on the size changes... But obviously the size changes.

Other comments indicate you also get heavier, a bath each morning followed by exercise could be interesting with the extra weight.

Also you'd have documentaries made about you. It's a completely novel behavior... And what happens if you soak just a part of your body.... Your penis for instance?

The glowing? Technically you could already do that, genetic scientists have already created glow in the dark pigs, so glowing seems similar. No more hiding in the dark, you're a beacon now. If a mugger or the cops are chasing you... Oh there you are. Not really helpful like being three times taller and heavier because you had a bath would be.

Sounds like a programming humor post.

So... Privateering? Like Royalty.

Most definitely AI.

The first two paragraphs of the article confirm it's AI generated. The only one denying it is the ad agency.

It's a lame thing that happens now and then and feels orchestrated like it's an attempt to brand lemmy as "quirky" or like early reddit.

It's sort of like watching someone who doesn't understand what a joke is come up with a meme.

Labor is dead.

 

Journalist Antoinette Lattouf was awarded A$70,000 and possibly more in damages after the public broadcaster wrongly dismissed her under Zionist lobby pressure for sharing a social media post critical of Israel's conduct  in Gaza, reports Joe Lauria.

Lattouf v. ABC ruling. Judge finds that Aust https://consortiumnews.com/2025/06/24/australian-reporter-wins-suit-against-abc-over-anti-semitic-post/

 

Currently if I paste a link to a Lemmy.World post on reddit, the user is taken to the comments section - and the image post (eg. the point of the actual link), is a tiny thumbnail.

This is now how to get people to cross over to Lemmy and other federated services.

 

The sidebar should be behind a link or tab.

We desperately need a "disable inbox replies" feature, or at least a place we can turn ALL notifications off.

The "search -> for communities" drop down, should just take you to the communities list (which has a search bar, and actual links to the communities, rather than a directory of them).

Does anyone have any more they'd like to list in the comments?
