Not in that term, but as a concept. I do know it now though so thanks!

I have absofuckinglutley no faith whatsoever in our society to do the right thing in this respect. We value ownership waytoofuckingmuch when it comes to businesses, were never going to get past the argument of “I put forward the capital for this business, I am entitled to all of the profits. Who cares that there is no work for you? No work no pay.”

I forsee a gigantic increase in homelessness and politicians will use that as an excuse to further cut any social spending as they’ll pin all our issues on “communist policies.” :(

There would generally be mandatory meetings for workers to attend that would allow for debates on the trajectory of the company. The state would “own” it but the workers would still direct it.

In a very very small way, it is like what Germany does with large corporations. They require a percentage of the board of directors be actual workers so it’s not just a bunch of capitalist parasites making decisions that would hurt workers just to boost their own portfolios/profits.

An individual can’t own the means of production, it’s supposed to be “owned” by the people. I’m not a communist, but that argument never changed.

It’s pretty much the story of Arsenal Gear in Metal Gear Solid 2 lol

Kojima always had a way of seeing into the not so distant future and pretty much nailing it.

That’s why they increased the price. They know soon you won’t have a choice

Duckduckgo is a wrapper for bing? No wonder it sucks… I want to like it, but the results are usually pretty bad in comparison to Google. Takes me much longer to find what I’m looking for with DDG. :/

I don’t have a link for it, but I read that YouTube is working on a 3 strikes policy for anyone using AdBlock programs… So after the 3rd warning you’re not able to watch anything on YouTube at all…

I’m “technically/mechanically inclined” as they say, but formally, “professionally,” I’m just a worthless factory worker schmuck lol

I believe it’s also largest in dollar amount by a long shot.

Just a quick search found something from 2018 so don’t crucify me if it’s not accurate anymore lol

I always just say “I’d be better if you were checking my prostate” but I always get kicked out right after! I can never quite put my finger in why though…

:P

I see what you’re trying to do here and I won’t fall for your Mongolian propaganda techniques!

God damn Mongoriens! Always trying to break my shitty wall!

Not so fun fact: the constitution allows for slavery as long as it’s a punishment for a crime.

Hmmm… Nah, those dots don’t connect at all.

While true, my theory is that they might also want something else. I use a plate and sometimes she’ll just beg for more anyway even if half of what I gave her is still in the bowl, I’ll give her a tiny bit of something else and she’ll go eat that instead lol

Well that will be the first time in my life I actually say “that’s someone else’s problem.” Lol

I’m not even a machinist, I kinda wish I took that route. I came in as the lead assembler figuring I could prove my worth and “move up” into something better. Instead I became essential and am stuck lol

Seriously… I just look at indeed and want to strangle someone… How are like 85% of all jobs on there posting salaries that are barely good enough for a random store cashier…

Nope lol it’s just how far you’d have to be to be able to afford to even live here. Long island is stupid expensive. I need to move, but I’m “uneducated” so I’m pretty much worthless lol

It’s absurd lol my job was complaining they can’t find anyone to work, yet they’re offering $16/hr for machinists that would need to drive an hour just to get here… It’s a joke

“if I’m at a point in which I think I’ve got nothing to lose, then why not take a wild risk to try to get to a better place?”

The problem I have with that is I know I can make things way worse rather than better by taking risks so I end up stuck where I am. I took a lesser risk a few years ago and thankfully only moved laterally, nothing really improved but at least I didn’t make it worse.

I just need a “fuck it” attitude, but that’s never been in my character. I’m more of a “worry about everything” person because “luck” is never on my side, I need to MAKE things happen or they never work out… If I don’t have control over it, it fails. I really envy people that just seem to float through life, having everything work out as they wanted lol

As far as the suicide goes, I’m basically “not allowed” to. I’m thankful that I have family that care about me and would be crushed if anything happened to me. Plus I know I’ll have to take care of my older brother when my parents are gone, so no matter how much I don’t want to be here, I have to be.

As far as the cosmos goes, I’m one that tends to believe what we have is all we have, there is no “again.”
