I’m sure their private shareholders are absolutely thrilled with slave labor making them a few extra cents per share.
It’s insane what we allow people to do to people in the name of “just business” profiteering.
CEOs of the offenders at the time, and anyone who signed off on this, should go to prison. Instead, at most (and likely nothing at all), their companies will receive a fine far less than what they saved using slave labor, which means they’ll keep doing similar things.
Welp…
Hard disagree.
2 had some pacing issues, but all 3 are amazing works of science fiction, the last 2 suffering from understandably not being able to top the first movie’s reveal of “Your entire existence was a lie.” 2 and 3 expand on the lore while visually presenting deep philosophical concepts, but as studios have learned, trying to appeal to the widest audience means not challenging your audience.
They have since gone so far with that lesson, it has lead to stuff like the new Star Wars trilogy, a plotless trainwreck of endless appeals to nostalgia so blatant I’m surprised they didn’t have force ghost yoda turn to the camera and smile impishly like austin powers.
We all pv zk pv grieve in our own ch rr ch way…
We all develop our little pet road hatreds.
My cousin’s are minivans. Mine are still BMWs, so I guess I’m a basic bitch.
Lets be fair, Steve Huffman did most of the work to make Lemmy so popular.
Shout out to the old r/jailbait mod for making in happen!
This is the basis of capitalism.
Both parties lie to eachother, attempting to get more than the other party through manipulation and coercion with whatever leverage each party has, rejecting the pursuit of equitable mutual benefit, and when it is allowed to metastasize into every sociocultural aspect of one’s cultural mores and values, as it has here in Corpmurica, it creates a toxic, antisocial group of rugged individuals beating each other to death trying to impress the most successful practicing sociopaths who were the best at dishonest manipulation and exploitation of their fellow humans.
If you want to create a civilization at war with and constantly undermining itself at every level instead of working toward the common good of the species/planet/future, this is the global economic system for you!
But hey, it was all worth it for the free market of ideas giving us so many valuable, innovative choices! It has sesame seeds and no pickles?! No fucking way…
All we had to do to make Christianity decline was belabor how antithetical it was to the only value, mooaaaaaaar, of our sociopath capitalist owner class.
They control the means of mass propaganda, and the rest is history. Christianity was hurting their rebranding of the sin, character flaw, and personality deficit that is greed into the Orwellian virtue of “rational self-interest.”
I guess those fuckers are good for something other than exploiting humanity, even if only unintentionally.
Nah, senile grandad needs a phone too.
Simple, overpriced tech for simple people who don’t prioritize tech or value.
I hate Steve Jobs specifically, his proud lack of charity, his overt need for the credit of talented people despite being nothing more than a marketer, and notably letting his proven child live on welfare for years as he was worth at the time millions. Most pos market capitalist oligarchs join Jobs in rejecting charity (commensurate with their wealth) and community, but even most of them somehow manage to play human when it comes to paying for their own children to eat without complaint, which made Jobs a particularly awful human being, even among our sociopath owners, which takes a lot of talent in being awful.

You made me angry with myself for agreeing with Steve Jobs.
Would be more true if they stabbed the hand, because after they suggest budgeting, that employee will be put on a list and be first in line to be terminated due to being incompatible with the work culture of pretending to be shiny and happy living in subsistence.
This made me laugh because the HR lady at my company made an email about such “resources” recently.
HR is corporate gestapo, anything you say can and will be used against you, but by all means share your inner demons with them.
For most, hopefully it isn’t about bad aim.
There is a moment, immediately at the commencement of piss, where the stream may or may not flow predictably. Usually this is after sleep or sex, but can happen at any time. This can mean the stream veers hard left/right until correcting, this can mean literally 2 separate streams.
The pressure corrects this potential issue for me at least within 2 seconds or so, but damage done.
A piece of paper with a drawing on it?
Anythings possible.
Because we the sucker peasants of the west have largely been propagandized by the owner class from birth into embodying this meme:
