  • Non-democratic/psudo-democratic socialism/communism: “You’re paying for this service whether you want it or not. There is no motivation to make a quality product.”

    Democratic socialism/communism: “Well, only 60% of you care about this enough to vote. We’ll put some funds into it, but definitely not what it needs. And oh dang, everyone hates it now, guess we’ll defund it.”

    Edit: I’m not disagreeing with OP. Capitalism sucks too. Socialism and Communism *can* suck. It depends on the governing body. There are good examples of all three economic systems working and bad examples of all three screwing people over. I’m anarchist and believe good systems will eventually fall to corrupt politicians if safeguards are not in place to prevent it, and there’s a bunch of sneaky intentional and unintentional loopholes to sneak in power grabs.
















  • What if you don’t have a favorite programming language? I’m a firm believer that each language offers a specific set a features that makes each one uniquely suck and I often find myself at the crossroads of continuing to use this garbage or to learn a new language only to find it sucks in a different way. (/s another way of saying each language has its niche… (but sucks outside of it))


  • Friend got locked out of Instagram account because yahoo deactivated their email. Instagram flagged the email as inactive. After my friend forgot their password, Instagram wouldn’t send pw reset emails even after reactivating the account. They also has no direct customer support whatsoever, so that account was lost.
