A good sense of humor helps a lot. Also, if you want to avoid getting bogged down by nonsense, it's a good idea to develop your critical thinking skills. That depends on having good sources of information that you trust.

There's a huge difference between capitalism and oligarchy. What we have is oligarchy. All the worst parts of capitalism. 19th century robber-baron "capitalism."

Karl Marx said a lot of things about socialism and collectivism a hundred years ago, but he's not in charge anymore. The rich oligarchs who replaced him are saying this. You keep saying "but they SAID they were SOCIALISTS" and all I see is Sponge Bob's eyes, filling up with tears because he just can't believe that some rich assholes are lying to him.

We have people in this country who claim to be "christians" who literally elected the anti-christ. Trump embodies ALL the seven deadly sins, but those folks are just fine with it. So let's quit pretending that belief systems can't be exploited.

The people who told you what socialism or capitalism is, LIED to you. "The good of the people" is a noble-sounding goal. But the reality is that the people who deliberately seek power are . . . for the most part . . . vain, greedy, brutal assholes.

The point is that it's a class war. It always has been. It's not about "socialism vs capitalism" or "liberals vs conservatives" or The Romulans vs The Federation. It's about billionaires vs everybody else. It's about the cluefull vs the clueless.

Started with Linux Mint. Added the KDE desktop. And I'm done. This distro does everything I want.

Yeah, there's nothing worse than a bunch of billionaire shitheads, using the media they control to keep the lower classes fighting with each other while they . . . the rich . . . run off with all the farking money. Oh wait, that's what's going on Russia, too.

There are no "good guys" here. Just billionaire assholes exploiting everybody.

Your "job" won't be anything more complicated than putting screws in the back of iPhones for minimum wage.

No company is going to waste years and billions of dollars building a manufacturing plant in the U.S. if the Dynamite Monkey in Chief can destroy it on a whim.

This. Especially these morons rapping about "the Man keeping them down" when they're literally working FOR "the man" and they're covered in gold bling. Congratulations. You just made a bunch of rich, white record executives even richer, while doing NOTHING for the people you claim to care about.

It's more obvious than a sunrise that Trump doesn't work for America.

Yup. Musk is a 4chan shit poster with a really thin skin. He never grew up and he never WILL grow up. He's "Poochie" from the Simpsons.

There is nothing as weak, delicate and fluffy as a MAGA.

In the US, it was probably called "Preview." It was an over-the-air movie channel that needed a decoder box to view it.

They usually broadcast from a UHF TV station that had made a deal with HBO or CineMax (often nicknamed "Skin-a-Max" because they tended to show pron after 11pm or so). It was basically cable TV without the cable.

You should be using Lemmy instead of Reddit. It's defederated, and it's spread out over 600 Instances in many different countries. This way, one rich egomaniac can't ruin it for everyone else.

Add Steam to "Windows gaming for Linux." Every game I bought on Windows runs great in Linux Mint. Steam has a native Linux client and ot uses a Wine layer called Proton that has all the settings for each game.

Because they keep making stuff that nobody wants, insult the fans constantly and never learn from their mistakes.

Uhhh, none. You idiot. Disney doesn't actually care about DEI.

So Disney hasn't learned a damn thing. Got it.

Stubby used too much fabric softener on his jpeg.

This is the advantage of decentralized platforms like Lemmy. One billionaire can't screw things up for millions of users. They would have to take over all 600 Instances in many different countries to control it.
