Does anyone actually think it’s pro-capitalism? Though the social psych equivalent to this is just the concept of the harvesting dilemma and the main lesson is generally pro government regulation (regardless of economics). Social dilemmas like this apply to any common good everyone benefits from, be it air quality, military defense, public parks, public safety, etc. (when explaining, I use a few right wing examples too, even if I am a bit ACAB myself lol).

Basically, they simply don’t exist without some form of social agreement not to be a shitty greedy asshole. Government being the most obvious way to control that.

Restarts into Grub which autos to Linux and when I go back to Windows it’s all pissy at me.

Yes but wouldn’t you like to sign up for an outlook account? No? Sorry that wasn’t a question, this full screen window has no X and you will comply.

… unless you do the thing that skips it, but man that’s an awful experience.

I’ve seen enough knew high sock posts to know these are not apropos of nothing.

There’s probably some, but keep in mind that your instance has to be federated with them and lemmy.world generally defederates a lot of the more extreme instances (plus a few benign but potentially illegal instances, since the admins don’t want legal trouble.)

That said, Lemmy historically is rather extreme “left” (if you can call it that lol) so much so that the .ml of lemmy.ml stands for Marxist-Leninst. That starting point kinda makes the rest of us the conservatives of the community.

If you want to feel challenged, look into who we defederate from. Hexbear, lemmygrad, beehaw, etc. I’m sure those rabbit holes will be new to you, although heaven help you lol

See, this explains Full Metal Alchemists premise; the brothers were Vibe Arcaning their dead mother.

Imma be real with y’all, at this point I’d welcome that as it’s less likely to be an auto generated AI message.

It’s also important to let others know you’re turning with a turn signal approx. 420 bibles away from an intersection.

I mean, it’s actually healthier to an economy to keep the well trained immigrants but you know how racist af people are. These aren’t just professionals, they’re pre-wealthy professionals and often have seed money to lead start-ups, lol

But racism and xenophobia are self destructive.

Having actually worked in academia, though, this actually does have a kind of fucked up capitalist answer (and it really isn’t merit) which is most true in public universities more so than Harvard: international students pay more. A lot more, in fact… so much so that my alma mater of UCLA has marketing campaigns in places like China.

As others point out, though, this isn’t zero-sum. More money theoretically means more subsidized US students (and more seats in general). At UCLA, this is especially true since any Californian making less than a certain amount can pretty much get a free ride (and even if not that, highly discounted tuition). I myself being a beneficiary of that, too, btw.

Now, private schools on the other hand, they probably pocket that cash. USC being my most local example, but I bet Harvard does the pay to win shit, too. I think it’s correct to take issue with how they operate, but MAGA is misleading people as they always do in any form of class warfare.

That’s why you get the knife subscription plan.

Only one specific hipster place I’m thinking of in Downtown but yeah. Lol

The downtown experience: $45 burger with a side of truffle fries. It’s mediocre at best.

If anything, this is more how money corrupts tech folks.

Second time I’ve seen this meme lady again. I wonder if she regrets doing that buzzfeed video way back when…

Yup. Fussing around in Desktop mode (aka handheld Arch) got me into it. It was weirdly easy to get Phantasy Star Online Ephinea working with luteix, and that game was easily one of my favorite Deck experiences running on 3W of power lol.

Note: home studio is a fancy way to say a tablet attached to your day job computer… likely in a studio apartment.

"They’re awake. Time to ask for food.’

There are 8 billion people on earth and close to 400 million are in the US. There can, and will be, even worse takes out there.

Yup. It gets even more complex depending on the tasks qualities, like if it’s a one-answer solution (e g. math) or a more open ended one (e.g. policy). Also, other disciplines argue you should also have a diverse group to better represent stakeholders, an especially important part of business and politics.
