Whoosh.
Whoosh.
Dude was intense but literally built an empire in his industry by himself.
ROFLMAO!
I hear shoe polish is toxic… you should rinse out your mouth every now and then.
Nope. A lot of them pretend to work, though.
People use smartphones to pass the time?
I have no idea why people think chickens look stupid when they walk… to me, the way they walk just looks like the way they walk. And the prospect of a T-Rex being that alert and agile is pretty terrifying.
TLDR - somebody writes a wall of text about “radicalization” without understanding what the term radicalization even means.
America has always rejected fanaticism
Right… the country that literally perfected white supremacism has “always rejected fanaticism” - I guess in your book rejecting white supremacism counts as fanaticism, then?
It’s just standard corporatese - if it’s not insulting your intelligence they’re not doing it right.
I’d say it’s more apt to think of capitalism as a parasite that turns all the functions (as you described them) of an organism into something that induces self-destructive behavior that only serves the short-term goals of the parasite - you know, like Cordyceps fungi.
Nope. In a hundred years, bog-standard trains will still be a far superior idea.
Man, I am so glad I didn’t turn into that - my extended family actually like having me around.
Thinking about the gaming magazines I used to read as a kid in the '90s.
I remember those fondly.
It would be an insanely short-sighted practice to not keep masters of these publications forever, no?
You’re talking about capitalist organisations here… there’s nothing about them that isn’t short-sighted.
The raw files probably take up a few CDs’ worth of space for the entire run of the magazine.
Nope… just one cover page probably takes something around 300mbs at a minimum and could be a whole lot larger depending on the quality of the imagery used (if I remember my time in the printing/publishing industry correctly) Storage of already printed material in those days was always an afterthought.
Do they retain the files forever?
Highly unlikely - a lot of the storage just got dumped at one point or the other since there was really little reason (profit wise) to return to anything at all. There might still be an old Mac sitting around somebody’s garage or backyard which still contains the stuff, but I won’t be holding any hope out for that. There’s always the chance that some employee still has the disks somewhere (you’d be amazed at how necessary it could be have proof that you actually did work somewhere and actually did work on this or that specific thing - the bosses were notoriously petty), and I suspect that’s how a lot of stuff ends up on places like archive.org.
The corporates themselves don’t give a shit - as soon as the profits roll in, it’s all expendable as far as the overpaid geniuses in the fancy offices are concerned.
That made me conclude that religion is probably fake, no matter if there’s a god or not.
That’s not it. All religions are real - regardless of whether the things any given religion worships is real or not.
Religion is as real as money, borders and race.
Destroy it.
I think the question should rather be, “How many Vietnamese people’s homes did he burn down?”
And a good thing it is, too - if you liberals were managing it lemmy would have been sold off to Meta or Google a long time ago.

We have lots of space here… unfortunately, it’s also the only thing we have enough of.
