Ok, lemmy crybabies. Me and my millennial friends all graduated from a university in Europe. None of us were born rich, but we’re all well-off now. By now everyone lives in different country, works in a different field, but literally everyone can afford a mortgage, a car, a ski trip, and maybe for their partner not to work for a few years if kids would be born.

Yet, imagine that, nobody really planned for their career to be lucrative. People just did what they thought was interesting and did it well. Only one dude was after money. He went into banking and now probably makes close to a mil annually.

I reiterate. All that was necessary for a financial success was to find an interesting job and do it with passion. To me this sounds like a communist dream.

And yet lemmy keeps telling me every day that it could only be possible if all of us were born rich, or sucked to corpos or whatever. You’re just a bunch of sore losers, lemmy.

Enjoy your holidays and think about your life choices.

And this image is just a clever rehash of those 🤷

Again you’re wrong. It’s counted directly by the amount you watch and goes to the creators you watch.

Or, equivalently, pool all revenue, divide by watch time, get the same result.

You can verify this by constructing an excel table of 10 users (rows) and 3 channels (columns). Assign random % weights of “watch time” per user per channel. Assume a constant subscription fee of 1. Verify that a column_sum is the same as column_average*10, where 10 is the total platform revenue, as there are 10 users each paying 1.

You keep imagining some way how YT could get cheaper for you.

But in fact, ads are highly profitable, and if you buy a premium there’s a very transparent revenue share model. 70% of your money goes directly to the creators.

All your wishes are already fulfilled, you’re just poor and are trying to justify not paying with imagined arguments.

and he’s left handed somehow. I wonder what’s going on here

You’re only allowed to have post-nut clarity in capitalism if you have earned a lot or better yet once you have a stable passive income. Otherwise, it’s money-horney talking in you.

And most of the days that’s what lemmy sounds like “I never had sex, this attractive guy has slept with too many girls, we gotta make sure there’s an equal distribution of girls among all of us”.

We can still talk about how that situation is unfair, but you’ll never convince me that you’re neither jealous nor horny.

I haven’t seen that birth certificate yet, have you?

Better Trump than the illegal immigrant Kamala. So my vote goes to him.

u a science man/woman?

Err, your immune system can cope with a bit of bacteria. But if you don’t wash your salad and get a massive load into yourself, your body will deal with it by extorting everything in your stomach. E.g. you’ll puke the entire night. You’re welcome.

No boomer reads whatever you, regular lemming, are reading.

Independent journalism is dead because journalists need to be paid. And you guys celebrate this? Yeah, sure, keep reading your “free” news. Just remember to ask yourself who do you think is paying for it and why.

Voter turnout is low on both sides. In your lame battleground states it’s especially republicans who don’t vote. If tomorrow you’ll have election with a 100% turnout, trump will win.

Oh, and he is wanted. By like half of the country. You better get used to it. Or are you against democracy?

They’re right, cuz you will find a great community of like-minded people.

Hasn’t aged a day:

2 seconds assumes an instantaneous reaction and perfect road conditions. In the EU they’ll teach you about 3s and at least +1 in poor conditions.

Wait about 12-13 years, and you won’t be able to get them out of bed before noon.

(Carcadian rhythm dramatically shifts with aging. It’s a reverse U shape)

If only you knew the joy of walking around the city at night. Not a damn soul. (Unless it’s the weekend ofc, then the streets are full and everyone is smashed)

The problem is, when they start with construction noises at 8am, this is all fine and legal, but if I come back at them with vacuuming at 11pm, I’ll just get a fine.

It’s ok, I run my drier at night. It’s enough to be annoying and not enough for anyone to call the police.

Esperanto’s equivalent would probably be Haskell.

Python is probably more like Spanish. Very easy basics, but then people from different regions of where it’s has spread out barely understand each other
