No different than what all these AI services are trying to inject into culture right this moment.

Well Americans don’t have good health care and have to constantly worry/ think about money so…

This^ And that’s the beauty of the 30s because I think that’s about when you likely start to realize and understand this. It’s freeing.

However, Americans (of the Boomer generation) did have choices to make. And the choices of what they prioritized (wealth over everything, work over everything) led to the kind of country that designed the US as it is today.

It’s not even slightly clever to point out the similarity between Nazis and ICE? Yes, I think the connection is plain, but obviously culture at large doesn’t or we wouldn’t be allowing it to operate as it does.

They can’t be - people are by definition a body of humans.

Basically greenwashing.

I did think the question implied this as a superpower you only have and it’s for one metric only. However, I am curious as to what governs the metric of how many “spoons” someone has left. It’s not like when I’m getting down to the wire I’m thinking “well I’ve got about 2 fucks left in me to give”.

It really is a shame on Lemmy that there’s generally a tone of dismissal when it comes to religion, even though it’s one of many things that I believe is to each their own. I’m glad you wrote this out, it’s succinctly put.

I was educated to not leave trash around whatsoever.

I searched for you and it’s actually worth it.

That’s because of our colloquial use of “made” in this context. Certainly “making” dinner is a different use of “made” than the one in this comic strip where all he did is “ask”, right?

Honestly some of the worst design I’ve seen. Looks like a pop-up store that would disappear within a week in DUMBO.

Another version of this - how big an apartment/house an artist can afford.

Hacking.

Corporations in this country have a huge influence on the average voter.

We’ve lost many critical thinkers in our time, with clickbait titles (many don’t really read the articles), “talking points” instead of substantive conversations, and lack of reading good literature (which I believe help to spur creative thought and can lead people to question things more often).

In our time, squeezing everyone for their worth is all there is left for these people to get rich. They’ve run out of ways to squeeze and so are going for the last hurrah.
