ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.comto science@lemmy.world•Evolution made us cheats, now free-riders run the world and we need to changeEnglish1·2 days agoPsychopaths are disproportionally represented in corporate executive positions. Most billionaires are psychopaths. The US has been run by psychopaths since I was born. That’s why we’re giving hundreds of billions of dollars to parasitic corps to fight stupid wars that nobody wants or agrees with. That’s why we’re not doing enough about climate change. They’re causing deaths constantly.
ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.comto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ?12·2 days agoWhat research? There are lots of folks with crippling debts. I know tons of people who will never be rid of their’s. As an engineer, I have never known job security. Who wamts to worry about losing their job every day? But I notice plenty of guys making a lot more than me since trades have a serious shortage of workers. Electricians around here charge whatever they want because there is not enough of them. Hospitals around here are bought up by one entity, so nurses can’t quit and make more money elsewhere. Teachers are quitting in droves such that it’s become a national crisis. But then there are plumbers making 6 figures.

Similar to email, I would rather pay than see the propaganda. 404 was one I was considering. I have several Ghost publications I’m watching to figure out which one I want.
The Ublock codes will be useful, though. Thanks for sharing!

I get this constantly. I think it also might have something to do with blocking the tracking parts of the url directs.

Why would they want to when trades provide more money, no lost income for 4-5 years, or a crippling debt? Women are at a disadvantage there. I mean, I definitely don’t want to minimize overlooked hardships, but…
Did they do something bad? I don’t mind them making money so long as they are ethical.
Damn right! Also, fuck those extra launchers and their buggy shit too. Crashing asses!
ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.comOPto DeGoogle Yourself@lemmy.ml•Can we Degoogle ourselves using an iphone rather than droid? Android is my big hangup right now.1·3 days agoSamsung is partnered with google and is filled with bloat. I might just try to offload all my data on a backup and then try to reset it to default to see what happens.
If I can get the OS on my Samsung then that will work.

ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Are other countries as nationalistic/"patriotic" as the US?1·3 days agoNo, I need to kick balls because I need to buy multiple sets of tools instead of one, and if you’re integrating systems, and another engineer didn’t read the unit requirements, shit doesn’t work and we have to stop and troubleshoot. Check the other conversions. If I asked you how many feet in a mile or slugs in gravity, can you tell me off the top of your head? Nobody wants to stop and look up crap to get stuff done. What is 12C in F? Who the fuck knows. Do I need a sweater on my trip? Let me go back and find my phone to see. Oh shit it’s not charged. Let me open my laptop because some fuckass with balls intact decided to troll everyone with arbitrary bullshit.
ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Are other countries as nationalistic/"patriotic" as the US?1·3 days agoOh. I didn’t know that. Most folks there are not active duty. Thanks for explaining. That guy must have been a new recruit to get out.

ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.comto science@lemmy.world•Evolution made us cheats, now free-riders run the world and we need to changeEnglish2·3 days ago50% of it is genetic. Theoretically, we couldn’t eliminate it 100%. But with new tech, we could detect the genes in vitro and possibly modify them as tech progresses. That is a dangerous idea, too. But so is dying in nuclear winter because there are too many tyrants.

Insomnia and sleep paralysis over here. Occasional OBE as well.
