Something I’ve been thinking about is how schools are affected by population decline. Schools take a lot of infrastructure, labor and money. It seems like hardly anyone in my generation is having kids. So what happens to this expensive school system when there’s too few students to justify the costs?
Will it simply disintegrate into private schooling like olden times?
And it’s only speeding up now that we have a cabinet of billionaires for billionaires.
I used treesize once to clean up my computer. That’s what a file system should be like.
Companies aren’t inanimate objects. They’re groups of people. They absolutely do have principles, it’s just for corporations those principles are usually “fuck everything besides money”.
They want him to apologize for calling out Microsoft helping Israel murder children.
You… actually clicked the links? Brother do not do that.

Industry standard or monopoly.
There’s a story I heard recently that has really stuck with me. It happened in the Sobibor Extermination Camp during WW2. Basically the camp was structured so that captured Jews would be selected to be Kapos. A Kapo was a disciplinarian that kept the rest of the Jews in line, usually with a whip. A lot of the times the Kapo would repeat Nazi propaganda because the Nazi guards were watching too. The rest of the Jews could understand their predicament. But there was one Kapo named Berliner, nicknamed because he was born in Berlin. The rest of the Jews hated Berliner because he truly bought into the propaganda. Imagine, a Jew… in an extermination camp… talking about how Hitler was a misunderstood savior of the Jews right before he started beating his fellow Jews to keep them in line.
It’s no surprise that Berliner’s end comes in the form of a lynching by the rest of the Jews he was keeping in line.
Turns out Republicans social and economic policiy is dogshit. There are three types of Republicans; power hungry sycophants, cultural chameleons that dont care but to blend in, and then the largest proportion… salt of the earth morons.
You’d be surprised to learn their reasoning if you actually listened to it.
Turns out their reasoning a lot of the time is divinely ordained racism and sexism. Turns out thats been the reasoning behind a lot of humanity’s choices.
What pisses me off the most is that Republicans will say “they can come here, they should just do it illegally”, as if they don’t realize that process can take nearly a decade… which they probably don’t.
That’s because politics are getting to the point where people cannot ignore them any longer. Think it’s bad now? Just wait till the grocery gets hit.
What if we had a tribunal instead of moderators? Actually just in the time it took me to write that out I could see it going terribly wrong LMAO
The last listening and understanding I had with a Trumper was over whether Haitians were eating cats and dogs in Ohio. They’re not serious and I’m not going to pretend they are.
“Ultra-left” in America has boiled down to not hating minorities.
Best part about Lemmy is it actually seems like I’m talking to a real person.
Surely people will enjoy pay walled content.
Far too many bots on reddit. Half the time I wasn’t sure if I was talking to a real person.
I’ma go with 8 because it’s slightly longer than 7
Spartan values would be accurate given that it was a slave state with something like 7 to 10 helots per Spartan. And yet 300 has turned King Leonidas into a legendary hero… for defending a slave state. Human perspective is too malleable.
