European-Americans need better leadership role models to show them that education and hard work — not violence, promiscuity, and criminality — are the right ways to get ahead.

  • Yes, the likes of Peter Thiel and Elon Musk have identified those characteristics as interfering with their dark ambitions. They seem to be behind the campaign to change hearts and minds for the worse.

  • There is definitely a serious societal problem. There is a parenting crisis leading to a peer-attachment crisis. And our communities reflect it. As another commenter mentioned, we need to relearn to have some empathy in our consciousness so we can provide healthy psychological attachments.

  •  The code is one thing. 300 skilled developers is another. Most of those could be full-time too.

  • Despite those choices, I'm not sure there were many other directions that could ever bring in the profits that Google does.

  • I agree. I’m not thinking about USA at all.

    As for the EU, we should fund a federated or decentralised system. I think it works well on Lemmy. For example I know not to trust feddit.org for anything related to Palestine. Content on other servers shows their pro-Israel bias.

    I think a system like that could benefit the US to a point, at least until the government block all external news and commentary.

  • I think it’s running it at a loss too. But there’s no reason these platforms couldn’t be publicly owned.

    • How do you deal with the heat in summer?

    Jump

  • Cover the windows from the outside (not inside) to stop sunlight raising the temperature through the glass. I use tinfoil.

  • USA are searching people’s phones for signs of criticism of government policy. They are detaining and deporting people (even citizens). China is not the sole bogeyman you think it is.

  • My mother decided my father would explain to me. I was dreading it. He turned up looking pretty uncomfortable / fearful himself. It was excruciating before it even started. He opened with “they teach this at school don’t they?” and I saw my exit. “Yes”, I replied. And that was it.

    We spent a few hours on it in school.

  • How many hours do people work each day? And do people get enough sleep?

    Thanks for the AMA.

  • Most people understand that the people are not the same as the government.

    • What’s your ultimate unpopular opinion?

    Jump

  • If we feel good about it, we’re primed to continue the dark pattern. The first step is acknowledging the problem. If you remove the first step, subsequent steps can’t happen.

    I get where you’re coming from. I see land acknowledgements used in colonies like NZ, Canada and USA yet treaties remain broken. I think (IMO) the answer is “all the things” rather than some. But we’re not even shuffling the deck yet as a population so making first steps accessible is important in my own experience. Too much in one go and peoples eyes glaze over.
