Horns: loud, disruptive, rude, wake up bby, hey quiet down people are trying to read

Bell's: polite, delicate, ring ring, refined, happen, excuse me please I am passing through thank you

Initially the most significant was Richard Wolff. His video popped up on my homepage and I actually only clicked it because I wanted to laugh at how dumb this "Marxist professor" must be. That did not happen. Instead he absolutely blew my mind. After doing some research, I discovered that Jordan Peterson had actually mentioned him. He said Richard Wolff had refused to debate him, but once I looked into Wolffs side of the story, I discovered that was a lie. And no wonder, it was obvious Wolff knew his stuff and would have been able to destroy Peterson in a debate.

That was when the wall came down for me. I became unsatiably curious about everything Marxist and anticapitalist, which led me to watching Second Thought, and then eventually leftist creators like Shaun, hbomherguy, some more news, and Hakim just to name a few. I was addicted and watched hours of this stuff everyday until my mind,attitudes and politics changed completely.

As someone who used to be obsessed with Jordan Peterson and had a similar 180 transformation, this is super familiar to me. I remember speaking up at work against critical race theory in a meeting. I look back on that now with huge embarrassment of who I used to be. I was actively working against the things that I stand for now. I'm super grateful to breadtube creators for pulling me out. I still have friends in my life who are like this and I can't seem to break them out. All I can do is try to be a better example

Is this for real? Holy crap that's amazing

Two birds with one stone

Memmy has the ability to block instances on its latest testfight release. Hopefully it comes to more apps

Wheres the option to see your comment in the original thread when navigating through your posts in your profile? I don't see it anymore.

Edit: just saw the other comment saying this is a bug that'll be fixed, thanks.

CEOs now make almost 400 times more than the average worker

I will never understand how tucking in your shirt won out as the standard of professional dress. It's impractical and uncomfortable. Can we just like change this?

I steal company time, they steal by surplus labour value, we're even

Complacent would be the nicer way of putting it but yea I know what you mean

I don't get it, can some1 explain?

Lemmy is so chill right now. Part of me hopes it doesn't get too big

What did they expect? Lmao

I'm not American but I've been reading up on American history. This is reminiscent of the propaganda that said slavery taught black people to be hardworking and discouraged laziness, which was in line with Christian values at the time. Is that correct?

Same. As far as I was concerned reddit was always a phone app for me, so to speak. I never used it on desktop. If the mobile experience is compromised, that's it for me

Welcome to the club!

I remember in the early days there were updates being pushed multiple times a day. People were like dude do you even sleep? 😆

This isn't meant to put down Hakim, I love his videos, but does anyone else have trouble understanding what he says? He talks quite fast and kind of mumbles.
