I feel this. It is satisfying, but it's not really productive.

Companies primarily make decisions to maximise the profitability of someone and it's never the consumer.

Likely born from frustration. It sucks knowing that the future you’re working towards is likely one you’ll never get to experience.

A small step in the right direction is still a step.

Let’s remember that the rich will have ways of making this happen even without it being legal. You don’t think that the criminalisation of abortion in various U.S. states actually affects the rich, right?

dojan , 3 days ago to Technology in China's state subsidies in green technologies significantly higher than those in EU and OECD countries, distorting competition, researchers say

Oh, fuck off with that. We're in the middle of a climate catastrophe the scale of which we don't even fully comprehend yet. I can understand a wish for more transparency in how the systems work, but if you're not willing to pull your weight and put your money where your mouth is, you don't get to complain. How is it in any way strange that China would be looking to boost the Chinese market? Every other market does exactly this.

The problem with using dehumanising language like this is that it means that someone’s humanity, in your eyes, is contingent on your approval.

It says more about you as a person than it does about the people you criticise.

I’m still fucking mad the Left voted yes for this. Campaigning on a no and then turning their coats immediately after the elections. Disgraceful, and I hope whichever party members are responsible get booted.

It makes it all the more sad, I feel.

Astronomers are expecting a “new star” to appear in the night sky anytime between now and September in a celestial event that has been years in the making, according to NASA.

I mean, no. It hasn’t been years in the making, it happened a very, very long time ago. We just don’t get to see it until now.

It’s more that we’ve been anticipating the event for years.

dojan , 15 days ago to Work Reform in Ikea’s CEO has solved the Swedish retailer’s global ‘unhappy worker’ crisis by raising salaries, introducing flexible working and subsidizing childcare

I dunno. Kids making mods is one thing, a corporation exploiting that for profit is something different.

Sure, Gmod and what have you definitely had sales because of mods, meaning an indirect profit, so one could question that too. When it comes to Roblox they’re directly profiting off of the labour of children in a very predatory manner.

Neither scenario is fantastic I suppose, but only the latter is actively encouraging and building systems to exploit people.

It’s silly to downvote you for wanting the leaders and representatives of a country and its people to be held to a certain standard.

Roe v. Wade was overturned under his mandate period as well. Sure it’s a Supreme Court decision, and the SC is mostly republican but it’s not like Biden couldn’t have pushed harder. He could, but then he wouldn’t be able to campaign on it.

“Vote for me and I’ll return some rights to people, maybe.”

dojan , 23 days ago to News in Fraud trial juror reports getting bag of $120,000 and promise of more if she'll acquit

I don’t see why she couldn’t take the money and get off the jury. It’s not like the briber is entitled to illegal money. At that point she could just make sure the money ends up where it needs to go.
