Well, if the penalty for an antitrust violation is a penny for every billion dollars made while screwing mom and pops small businesses and destroying competition, then there might as well be no anti trust laws at all. They just don’t work. Why should I care about a fine if it’s only 0.001% of what I made while commiting the violations.

Every citizen should have to do a year waiting tables just to know not to be a dick.
ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.comto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ?1·3 days agoI’m definitely below average. But I’m not sure education (or college at least) is the best direction to go at this time. It costs too much, and then people still don’t make much sometimes. Then there is job security. A mechanic will have a job for the foreseeable future. Coders and office workers are so far beyond fucked that I would not recommend someone pursue a career in an office right now.
ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.comto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ?2·3 days agoI’m liberal and really enjoyed reading this comment. It might be one of the best ones I’ve seen on here. The part about microaggressions was spot on. This makes me wonder why I’ve never heard this perspective before? I wonder if people say this in mostly conservative forums, and I just don’t see it from my personal fish bowl? I’ve never heard it put quite like this. It’s almost as if it would have been useful for this position to be expressed earlier to educate people before all the frustration occurred.

ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Do you think sometimes privacy practices of people at c/privacy or r/privacy communities are overparanoid or take things too far?5·10 days agoI must be one of those. This shit is not okay, yall. Whole psychological profiles, humiliation tactics, and dystopian forms of control are right around the corner. Why would they keep Epstein alive when Palantir automated the job of the blackmail broker?

I just want to be able to use Wireshark well to figure out wft is going on at my house with outbound surveillance data.
Insomnia and sleep paralysis over here. Occasional OBE as well.
I must have them all.
ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.comto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ?13·13 days agoWhat research? There are lots of folks with crippling debts. I know tons of people who will never be rid of their’s. As an engineer, I have never known job security. Who wamts to worry about losing their job every day? But I notice plenty of guys making a lot more than me since trades have a serious shortage of workers. Electricians around here charge whatever they want because there is not enough of them. Hospitals around here are bought up by one entity, so nurses can’t quit and make more money elsewhere. Teachers are quitting in droves such that it’s become a national crisis. But then there are plumbers making 6 figures.
ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.comto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ?213·15 days agoIf they wanted to address the education gap, wouldn’t they? Why would they want to when trades provide more money, no lost income for 4-5 years, or a crippling debt? Women are at a disadvantage there. I mean, I definitely don’t want to minimize overlooked hardships, but…

Edit: Congrats, btw!
ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.comOPto ADHD memes@lemmy.dbzer0.com•What is everyone's opinion on how ADHD affects people's desire to have kids?English1·20 days agoI think I have terrible depression and that it is genetic. It could be based on that. This is a good exercise to do because all this feedback is telling me that my lack of desire to have kids could be related to the ADHD, but that ADHD usually does not dissuade folks from parenting much of the time, so therefore something else is likely a larger factor in my attitude about motherhood.
You’re right. I’m one of the ones who got offline from the big social media sites. Honestly, I feel like it’s a civic duty and have tried to convince everyone of Fediverse accounts and have failed. I also don’t know what’s going on in my friend’s lives, and I even got off Bluesky due to tracking or some other offense I can’t remember. But I can tell you for sure, once the US gov becomes destabilized enough, that data collection from all these years will be abused to the point that all the people in the “I have nothing to hide” club are seriously going to regret being on Facebook and Instagram, etc. This surveillance state is going to be awful when they succeed, and they will.
