It’s not, but it’s a trademark, often used to excuse selfish behaviour in the US.

The American mentality of 'Yeah its bad, but it could be worse" or “Yeah this sucks but at least or sucks more for someone else”
It solves nothing, as long as there are people doing worse than you. Maybe this is why they are trying so hard to mess up the lives of people who already are messed up

If you are lucky you get ads before a paid review of a product that was donated by the manufacturer and then ads in between

I still don’t get it even though you call it sane.
To me it sounds like giving your money away to become poor, so that things become expensive to you, just so that you can buy expensive stuff
Yeah i agree. My point is that cruelty is not the reason. Its the tool. I dont think they really care as long as they get more power or money
Time wise, the moon landing is located roughly in the middle between the first image, and now. It happened almost 60 years ago (59).
We have since invented the internet, and a lot of great ways to waste our time
cosmicrookie@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•European intelligence officials warn that a Russian sabotage campaign is escalatingEnglish82·7 days agoI dont really care what the UK and its politicians do or say. The press though should tell things as they are.
On further research though, the operation was to hinder an operation or at least create inconvenience. It does not seem to have any ideological, social or political purpose
Sabotage is typically the deliberate destruction or damage of property or resources to hinder an operation, while terrorism is the use of violence and intimidation to achieve political, ideological, or social goals.
I don’t see a difference between the two, besides the attitude and the capitalization. Being an asshole or being compassionate while comparing to people who are less fortunate, to affirm or confirm that you are better off, is imo the same.
