I personally would only use the original phrase to imply what you’re saying. This is why context matters so much I think; some people just use it as a thought terminating cliche, I’m afraid.

First one is saying there’s no point fixing anything, just get over it. Second one saying fixing it might suck, let’s fix it anyway.

Very, very different…

Are you sure that weirdo won’t get off on that?

A baby is a baby until they’re a toddler. An infant is a brand new baby.

Oh, I totally agree with your views here, I think. I guess it just bothers me whenever I see some “obvious” solution on some article or headline. The ones who built these monuments achieved something truly incredible, and we still can’t explain how they did so.

I have a hard time seeing a raft as having the necessary water displacement capability to handle that kind of weight, thought. And they left a written record regarding much smaller craft; so one obvious question, where’s the record of any more advanced ship building?

I guess it’s just the fact that it’s actually really not easy at all to get such enormous chunks of stone to float. But, I also cannot offer any other explanation, so take that as you will…

I seriously doubt it; the extreme weight of these stones far exceeded the load capacity of any known Egyptian water craft. By, like, a lot.

Yeah, it’s a shitty answer, when there are multiple free options that eliminate the problem.

Oh, for heavens sake. I chose to be born into a life where I can only choose the form of my exploitation, in other words?

No. It is not in any way shape or form a result of my choice that some business owner is prioritizing money over people.

Capitalism is not a neutral system. And it’s flaws are certainly not the fault of those being exploited.

An “economic perspective” is horribly skewed in favor of the capitalist class; that’s just saying the misery of the commoner is justified by the greed of those who refuse to actually assist in producing any goods or value for society.

Press X to doubt…

(I don’t believe you)

I’ve always figured a company will go public before enshitification truly gets underway. It’s kinda the first step of the process.

I guess my argument is that until that pressure to appease the stockholders exists, there’s not a whole lot of motive to justify enshitification. It’s hard for me to imagine the process happening any other way.

So, I suppose you can count my vote as being that going public will likely come first. Just my two cents, though, and I don’t know anything anyway! :-p

I’m a little bit confused by your post. Publicly-traded companies, by and large, place extraordinary emphasis on short term, quarter by quarter profit. Seems like a very strong contender for the root cause if the issue?

Enshitification is about monetization, getting more money from the same customer base.

Doesn’t this statement support publicly traded status being a riot cause, though?

I must assume I’m misunderstanding your argument…?

I can’t help but notice that you are simply making the argument that we’ve done it wrong before, therefore I want it done wrong again.

Okay, sure. What a strong case you made. You win, or whatever.

Really? Yeah, it couldn’t possibly have anything to do with, you know, actually keeping kids safe. No, that actually makes sense, and even worse, isn’t about “me”!

For the record, even if there’s anything to your absurd statement, I’m all for gun control. I care more about kids’ lives than yours.

I know it’s not what you asked, but check out So Low lotion for men by Hello Cake. :-D

Nah, Slackware is just as old as Debian, and apparently SUSE branched off from Slackware. And it’s still around, although I don’t use it anymore…

You clearly don’t have any idea… Period.

And you’re last statement is an outright falsehood. You replied. Ergo, you do give a shit.

Your entire premise is misogynistic bull. But whatever; keep at it. Look like an idiot. Deny yourself actual contentment in life. Die on whatever hill you want.

Doesn’t change that everyone knows you’re wrong.
