There’d be hardly any parents left if you could jail bad parents on whim based on a singular observation.
Then many of those kids would be even worse off…
Thinking back to the very “concerned parents” of my childhood, they were usually the over protective lunatics
I definitely read “sharting” at first glance
If it’s free from a for profit company, you’re most likely the product
That’s fair, and I’m glad you’re in a part of the world that allows you to express yourself freely.
If being on the stage, dressing different, or playing the drums is something you want to go at, I’d say do it. You won’t know it until you’re in it. There will be some aspects you like, and some you won’t. What you perceive and what actually is, are often different.
I’ve always found that the things I excel at, are the things I’m genuinely interested in. And when I follow those paths for a while, they all have similar lessons. It’s like an all rivers lead to the ocean kinda thing.
Counter intuitively though, I also feel more liberated when I’m disciplined about getting little goals done on those paths. When I follow my exact, in the moment emotions, it usually leads me to addiction and forms of laziness. Just gotta push through the bullshit for a bit lol. “Beauty stems from pain” sort of fits with what I’m saying here. Might not be the same for everyone though, but for the past few years I’ve been excited to get out of bed lol.
Anyways, listen to your heart and you’ll feel full. Good luck!
What do you mean specifically when you say you want to explore yourself more? What would that entail?
Id be surprised if all admins of every instance that’s federated with Lemmy are all on the same page, let alone looking for narrative driven bots.
I see “Ukrainian combat footage” with hundreds of upvotes and no comments, there was also an article speaking positively about facebook that had lots of upvotes and no comments (it’s in my history of you look, because I commented lol) - those look like red flags to me
There’s already loads of upvote/downvote bots in the fediverse here - would not be shocked if a large portion of them are from governments
Hah! yeah
How does Microsoft always fly under the radar?
That’ll be $400 for the privilege…
This is pretty accurate
Yeah I have one set up - it’s sorta meh.
Most ads from things you look at can be stopped by just an ad blocker plugin for the browser (uBlock Origin). The Pi can’t stop ads when they come directly from the sever of the company you’re viewing (like from YouTube or Facebook ads).
The Pi just has a library of known advertising domains and doesn’t let those past the router, but because the major corps like YouTube don’t use 3rd party domains, the Pi won’t stop it.
For the TV scenario here id recommend just installing a new Linux based OS on it as this would be just as good as the streaming device, but free.
Those damn poors, can’t live with em, can’t live without em
Did you read that link you posted? Lmao
If you get past the first paragraph, suddenly there’s really no praising and they talk about how bad health care is in Cuba and how many try to defect as they are forced into horrible conditions.
From that article:
“He said, “We were placed in slums with a high level of violence, under constant monitoring by the Bolivarian brigades [political police], who are supposed to offer protection but also report any suspicious activities and assure that we carry out our `revolutionary’ duty, indoctrinating our patients to vote for Chávez. If we refuse to do so we are sent back to Cuba.””
That’s a fair criticism, we do need to find a better way
I was thinking more so about the ~7,000 - 8,000 doctors since 2006 that defected from Cuba as soon as they were able to.
Are you referring to the loosely defined “kulaks” (wealthy peasants) that were exiled/killed when the Soviet Union was created?
I wonder if this meme still applies to those who have fled communist countries?
Its kind of ironic that Lemmy was created to take away centralized power, but the same people want to create a communistic society which will…centralize the power?
“Handmaid’s tail etc”?
How do you give one example of 25% of the chart and say “because of this one weird thing, basically everything equals the middle circle”
Yeah, but the HR people rely on paycheques from corporate. And corporate often has enough resources to make legal battles difficult at best.
Even if their interests are aligned with you, they probably won’t have a job at the end
Kind of wild you got down voted for showing people credible sources that raise concern. I don’t think they want to hear it and I’m not sure why
Lol! Touché
