Line must go up. They probably see themselves as brave by continuing to follow Friedman's shareholder logic in the face of these events.

but I doubt it’s an entirely ignorant decision coming from a company known to be good at manipulating it’s users.

Damn good point! As a counter, corporate leadership is often surrounded by yes men and insulated from the masses. The meta verse and apples AR flop cost them a lot of money as a result. (Not sure if fb totally gave up on meta tbh)

Sex researchers Baumeister and Tice wrote about sexual economics.

"A heterosexual community can be analyzed as a marketplace in which men seek to acquire sex from women by offering other resources in exchange."

From an evolutionary standpoint it makes sense that women wouldn't want a partner that can't provide security for the couple when the woman would be vulnerable if pregnant/nursing.

Young men in particular have fewer resources of value to offer than at any time in most people's lives. To that point, it's not like young women are dating any better, so even if they are willing to be the sole provider, most are unable to do so.

With the traditional partnership which historically provided companionship out of the question, men are left yearning for female companionship.

Another point the researchers make, is that men will always yearn, while women have a generally easier time abstaining until conditions are right.

Good point, it could very well be. Sadly, it's really hard to tell why, and which women will respond with it. I've never heard a woman alluding to it irl, but I have seen them respond in both ways.

The ick is huge. The only woman most men can open up to without playing russian roulette is their mother (assuming a healthy relationship).

We will see how much they actually care in the next 2 years

It's a show. The only thing established party leadership cares about on either side is lining their pockets. The longer they keep us arguing about their disfunction, the more they rob from us. One class. Working class.

Maggat types have been noted as having a higher proclivity towards in-group thinking, so, to your point, the methods for obtaining peace can be twisted into believing that the out group is the root of the problem.

Think of them as fellow working class with a slight (at times severe) gullability disability if that helps. One class. Working class.

The irony of 'elected' politicians virtue signaling in the first place

My guess is that certain idolizers of orange saw the blatant oligarchical cabinet choices, particularly with Elmo and hit some heavy cognitive dissonance. The truck symbolism is right there.

Most people can clearly see he's always been pro-corporate and fuck-you-working class.

The cognitive dissonance from anyone who's been outright worshipping him and has opened their eyes must be straight up torture.

Even magatts are operating on the following when it comes to their political consent: "what leadership will cause the most opportunity for peace for me and my loved ones"

Lol this post made me appreciate Lemmy so much.

There was a question on dead-it asking something about why the American middle class seemed to suffer so much since the mid20th century and it was full of obvious bots pointing to the positive but temporary effects of WW2. It took quite some scrolling before I saw any mention of the stagnation of real wages since then.

We need to get normies on Linux. Full stop.

Be the chage you want to see ✨✨

Yes this is amazing advice. Playing slow but consistently will eventually sound better. No breaks in the music or pauses to adjust fingers.

Yeah. statistically a woman's sex drive begins to fall after a year. Sex researchers call it "the tragedy of the male sex drive."

I highly recommend The Science of Sex by Baumeister and Tice. It's full of surprising insights.

This comment should be highlighted.

As if the American electorate was ever really informed at large to begin with. I've been hopeful that we're seeing the start of a new age of enlightenment like the one that preceded the French revolution. But if the source of knowledge becomes detestable (enshitification of the internet) it may be slowed or stopped all together.

They've been asked. Request was denied.

Did you ... Did you donate $420,000.69 to my inauguration fund?

The more corruption settles in, the less effective voting becomes. This is why the citizenry has civic duties beyond voting.

Incoming graduates saw an entire generation go to college at the highest rates ever just to find a job market that left a record number of them with debt still on their name more than a decade later.

What were once institutions devoted to academia, have become corporate training camps ran by a board that runs the institution with a corporate mentality, and they enrich themselves commesurately.

They're idolized? I would've probably been an abider ☹️
