Instead of picketing the streets and striking their jobs, they should try picketing Musk and striking him in the head

I think we should start referring to these people by their titles. Chairman Murdoch

Basically the upper management was getting mad that Paper Mario was taking on too much of its own identity compared to the broader Mario brand. It’s why Origami King is mostly just Toads all over the place.

I really think you’re onto something - just the headline (and, remember, the vast majority of people only read the headlines of articles - so the headline is where the company gets the information they want to convey to as many eyes as possible) calls the company:

• Dying
• Fraudulent
• Anti-Privacy
• Anti-American

Just to give a potential shareholder as many reasons as possible to decide “I no longer wish to support this company/I want to get out before this company fails”.

Maybe TEMU is a bad company with a bad product, but it’s worthless arguing about whether or not this is the case when the article itself cares very little about making concrete points and has an ulterior motive in publishing the article.

The issue is that Musk is a wholly reprehensible person and this is the only good thing he has done in his life.

So people who like Musk (Tech bros, finance bros, Libertarians) downvote the post for trashing Musk, and Socialists downvote the post for supporting NATO-aligned imperial interests (or, if taken from a different lens, for trying to rehabilitate Musk).

The article loses the Left and the Right and its only real audience is the Centrist Liberals who both hate Musk and love the Ukraine.

Crypto is not “technology”, it’s a grift and a scam

You could always message an admin and ask them to transfer the account to you.

Yes, it is, but I’m not a Libertarian - some censorship is good. Fascists, trolls, and child pornographers deserve to be censored.

You can replace most anything with wood or sheet metal. Not only that, but without subsidies to the fossil fuel industries, it would actually be cheaper to make many products we make out of plastic of wood or metal instead.

I wouldn’t go so far as to say we need to ban plastics entirely. Expensive, long-lasting items like certain electronics (televisions, game consoles) are probably fine made of sturdy plastics (think the old stuff SNES’s were made out of, not the brittle shit they make Xboxes out of today). And I’d have to guess there are certain electronic components that are best made of plastic and not likely to introduce any microplastics into people’s systems.

What we need to cut down on are disposable plastics and plastics in food service. Styrofoam trays, plastic wrap, tupperware, plastic bottles, plastic grocery bags, plastic packaging, plastic dishes, plastic handles on silverware. All of these could be replaced with glass, metal, wood, or fabric and become more renewable/reusable/recyclable and less dangerous to people’s health.

If I could drop two bombs, the second one would be on Silicon Valley. Tech “workers” are a scourge on society.

Good, we don’t want them

The first thing I did upon joining the Fediverse was blocking all 196 communities.

To a Fascist, Liberalism seems like a “left-wing bias”.

Liberalism - believing in equal rights and freedoms for all people, and also free trade, free markets, and low taxes - is a right-wing ideology. Obama is right-wing. Biden is right-wing. And so are Blaire, Macron, and Merkel, before anyone brings up the “AmErIcAn pOlItIcS lEaN rIgHt” bullshit. Figures like Sanders, Corbyn, and Melenchon are center-left at best.

Speaking as a Lemmygrad guy. He’s a Lemmygrad power poster. I honestly don’t know how the guy does it. Not only does he have the articles, he’s got the sources to back up his claims in the comments. It’s truly admirable. I’d love to meet him sometime.

While most Socialists let Reactionaries shame them into silence, Yogthos posts the truth despite negative criticism.

I use Jerboa on mobile and the native Lemmygrad UI on desktop.

One thing I like about Lemmy is that it shows upvotes and downvotes separately in addition to the composite score.

When I make a controversial post that gets 7 upvotes and 20 downvotes, I think “Man, this was a good post. 7 people liked it”. On Reddit, I would just think 13 people downvoted it. If anything, on Lemmy downvotes are just proof that I made someone I don’t like mad on the Internet, which is great.
