Flagg76@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•I’m a Conservative. My Disabled Son Needs Medicaid to Live.33·3 days agoYou mean Americans? The other side isn’t much better, although they think they… Just like the other other side. You are all in trenches lobbing grenades at each other thinking you are right.
It’s kind of entertaining if it wasn’t so sad.
Flagg76@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•whats the cheapest legal way to dispose of my dead body so i can stick it to the funeral industry?11·3 days agoI think the cheapest way here (the Netherlands) is around €750-900 and you are burned in a (fairly strong) paper bag or cardboard coffin I think.
But to be fair I don’t care, i’m dead anyway, I don’t have insurance for it, and if there is anyone left around me by then they can do whatever they want or not do anything. I don’t have kids so they can’t stick the bill to anyone.

Flagg76@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•This leaked memo exposes an agenda so awful even Trump wants it kept secret1·8 days agoInsleep just fine in the Netherlands thank you. You just keep honoring your name and stick your head in the sand.
Then I never talked irl to a typical American with typical working hours. Next time I talk to them I tell them they are doing it wrong…
I can feel your pain, switched to Picnic though, never looked back.
I have even put cobblestones in the garden now for nostalgic reasons. (Basaltkeien)
Netherlands 36 hours is full time, i work 4x9 hours, so basically a 4 day workweek, for about 20 years now, used to work 38 and got paid extra for the effort. But soon found out more free time is priceless.
What do you mean I haven’t worked 40 hours a week for decades… I work 36 hours ( which is considered full time here) and I work for 4 days 9 hours a week, every Wednesday of.
Or its made by an American thinking America is the whole planet… 😇
Flagg76@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•This leaked memo exposes an agenda so awful even Trump wants it kept secret1·11 days agoThere is one thing that should happen first and that is hitting rock bottom in a way everyone gets together and make a united front. As long as half of the country hates the other half nothing will change, “they” will keep you divided and fight each other so they can go on doing whatever they want.
And “they” is mostly companies. You need worker rights a solid minimum income, safety nets, a mentality where you are not there to serve your country but the country is there to serve the people. And less hunger for money. And a healthy criticism of your own country, wanting to do better instead of thinking you’re the best. Better basic education accessible for everyone, health system the same, I can go on and on probably.
But I doubt it can be done at this point, I really don’t even have a clue where you have to start. And it’s sad I have friends struggling to raise their children in the US, stuck in toxic relations cause they can’t afford to leave. Others working 60 hours a week barely able to pay basic costs, pretty much all of them taken hostage by the companies they work for, can’t lose a single paycheck, or the meager health insurance provided through their work (crazy system).
And this generation gets all worst end of the deal, previous generation all let it happen.
If you want to point a finger, point it at your parents and grandparents, they are the ones that let this happen, not your fellow Americans right now. Everyone is voting out of desperation to hope and make things right, voting for Trump is just grasping at straws for a lot of people, but blaming them for this just isn’t right.
Flagg76@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•This leaked memo exposes an agenda so awful even Trump wants it kept secret1·11 days agoOh yeah that’s rich, like I said blaming everyone but yourself, that will solve it. Like the US listened to any criticism ever, and the us citizens ever only waved their flag and screamed that 'murica was the best, and your educational system made damn sure you weren’t told anything about other countries or political systems, you were just spoonfed with 'murica is the best.
Maybe you should have listened to people instead of putting your fingers in your ears screaming “I can’t hear you”
Flagg76@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•This leaked memo exposes an agenda so awful even Trump wants it kept secret1·11 days agoYou were all chasing money and didn’t care about anyone else but yourself, as long as you were fine everything was fine. Everything that even slightly resembled something social was communism… Even now you all think socialism is communism, out of fear you might have to pay for someone else. Taxes are evil, government should be as small as possible, no regulations cause you are so fucking free.
Well this is what happens companies unregulated doing whatever they want squeezing every last dime out of you.
And i dont think you can do anything anymore, you are way passed any solution.
But i get sick of the fingers pointing at someone else, like this is just happening for the last 5 or 6 years, but of course someone that holds up a mirror just be a troll or living in someone basement. Hey if it makes you sleep better at night, i dont mind being either.
Flagg76@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•This leaked memo exposes an agenda so awful even Trump wants it kept secret1·11 days agoLol yeah you just keep blaming everyone else… Hey I don’t care, be angry at me all you want. But it’s nice to know I hit a chord so you felt the need to check me out.
But it doesn’t change the fact you all shaped your society like this.
Flagg76@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•This leaked memo exposes an agenda so awful even Trump wants it kept secret11·15 days agoYeah and don’t forget to be especially mad at people who voted for Trump, like it hasn’t been building up for 40/50 years now.
The people in power will do anything to keep the people divided, and it’s working like a charm, the US population is being played like a fiddle since Reagan.
Flagg76@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•This leaked memo exposes an agenda so awful even Trump wants it kept secret421·15 days agoNo, it’s just a symptom of the disease, you all are responsible for this outcome, you have been working towards this since reagan, and yes all of you, left right democrats republicans, all of you.
And now you finally got what you’ve been asking for all this time and you want to blame someone else for it, typical.
Flagg76@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•This leaked memo exposes an agenda so awful even Trump wants it kept secret19·15 days agoIt’s a bit harsh but yeah… Looking at the US from a distance I’ve been saying it is turning in some sort of weird industrial/corporate dictatorship resembling a third world country for a decade now.
Only thing I ever got back was, 'murica is the best country in the world".
And they still are saying that to this day…

Goes both ways doesn’t it? People defending piracy of software but hating on AI.
But when an analog artist gets his inspiration (like AI) from other artists it’s fine when an AI does it all hell breaks loose.
peak hypocrisy…
They are replacing both of them? Bold…
