“When your wife won’t fuck you anymore and neither will your daughter.”
Then conservative parties worldwide should stop courting fascists in a desperate attempt to remain relevant. Simple as that. Every western conservative party I can name is so far right in 2024 that they’re licking the gunpowder residue out of the bullet hole in Hilter’s decaying skull.
So you’re saying they designed it stupidly for no reason? Gosh.
I knew you’d retort with this exact example, because you’re predictable.
No, I actually don’t have the means to save everyone starving in Africa, or even a few. I don’t have supply chain access, influence over foreign governments, or anything to directly aid anyone internationally. So I can give to charities, and do, but government corruption in poor nations ensures that the reach of those donations is limited and the cycle of poverty is ever perpetuated in order to maintain their existing power dynamics.
I also fully support foreign aid and am happy to pay my taxes to contribute to that.
I also am not wealthy. I’m not poor, but I have a hard cap on how much I can give to others before I’m hurting myself and my dependents, and that amount is nothing more than enough to keep a few people limping along for a little longer.
A billion-dollar company can reduce the cost of their absurdly priced medicines that would save millions, and still make insane profits. They just might not maintain perpetual growth.
I believe if you have the means to save someone and willfully withhold it, you’re culpable for murder.
Pharmaceutical companies aren’t going bankrupt if they can’t charge thousands of dollars for a single dose. Common medications that are manufactured and sold in bulk subsidize the cost of medicines for rare conditions. They also enjoy patent benefits other industries don’t get specifically to recouperate R&D costs.
Governments also can and do negotiate for lower drug costs, which is why medication is cheaper in Canada than the US.
Oh, and don’t forget all the public funding pharmaceutical companies already get. Governments dumped tons of money into developing the covid vaccines and the companies made insane profits off of it.
If someone dies because the medicine needed to save them is “too expensive,” both the corporate executives who set the price and the government cheapskates who won’t adequately fund healthcare should be guilty of murder. Change my mind.
That was one of my favourite episodes of Monstrum.
It’s been so long since I read Manly Guys. Time for a re-read from the beginning.
My favourite part of this movie was that they directly call out WB by making an unnecessary sequel mandate part of the plot.
First I’ve heard of it. I’ll check it out. Thanks!
Even for personal use, I’ve tried various alternatives to Photoshop over the years like Gimp and Krita and they just can’t compete. Photoshop is just ridiculously powerful, so it sucks even more that the company that owns it is so shitty.
You can still save locally even if you’re using the Creative Cloud software. I stuck with CS6 for a long time because I hate software subscriptions, but eventually bit the bullet to get access to the new features and a UI that actually scales to my monitor. It’s been mostly fine, but I’d still prefer to just own the software I use.
The only time I ever got screen burn was because of this wallpaper.
Anything by Tool carries really well if you need to battle noisy neighbours.
It’s a solution looking for a problem. As someone in the comments of the article pointed out, Microsoft spent a lot of money investing in OpenAI and now they’re desperately trying to find a way to justify it.
And welcome to the jams
Libertarian thinks he can subsist without utilizing any public infrastructure.
Please forward this topic to your instance admins as an example of why lemmy.ml needs to be defederated. Yes, they’re a big instance and, no, not every user is like this. But enough of them are that it’s a constant problem that the .ml admins have no interest in stopping because they adamantly support it.
Leaving it up to us to block .ml ourselves is insufficient as the comments on this post perfectly demonstrate. You can’t even point out their Chinese/Russian propaganda and censorship on other instances without being brigaded by .ml users.
They need to be cut off from the rest of the fediverse. The sane users and communities can migrate to better instances. Not wanting to move because it’s inconvenient is no excuse. At a certain point you have to acknowledge you’re hanging out at a nazi bar, and if you stay there when every other sane person is urging you to get out, that’s on you.
Movie-Kili really misinterpreted the last one.
