TIL that if you search "thank my driver" on the Amazon app, you can give your most recent Amazon driver a $5 tip at no cost to you. This is a limited time promotion.

  • Its a similar situation. You 'cant do anything about anything' and handing out band-aids is 'better than nothing'. Would 'giving someone a band-aid is a good thing' be your stance in that situation or would you find it rather inappropriate?

    • What is a stance you hold that goes against your personal preferences but you believe is the right thing to do?

  • Perhaps you shouldnt have said 'without trying it', you dont need to try TikTok to know the downsides. But theres a difference between 'I hate TikTok because others hate it' and 'Ive read some studies about social media addiction and reject TikTok'

    That said, Im not particularly against TikTok, but it definitely needs more regulation like any other legal drug.

  • I wish more people could differentiate between having an opinion and trying to force everyone else to live according to that opinion.

  • Technically youre right, but would you say the same if Putin started handing out band-aids to ukrainians who just lost their families?

  • Yeah sure, 'murder is okay if its the bad guys'. I think Ive heard that somewhere before...

  • Which is simply wrong.

    Its pretty sad to turn your back on the whole system because there are a few exploiting it.

    This is basically far right politics. 'Hey theres one foreigner raping an american woman, all foreigners are evil'

  • My point wasnt that it is morally right, which it isnt. But OP made it sound like some evil masterminds are pulling the strings so rich people can stay in power, when it is simply people doing whats best for themselves. People are being judgemental but I think most wouldnt sacrifice 90% of their paycheck 'because its the right thing to do'. Most people already earn 10 or 100 times more than people in Africa for example and are still buying from Amazon or temu contributing to exploitation. When people have the chance to make/save lots of money, they usually take it.

  • Just yesterday I read a post about a woman being stalked by a supposed Nazi. At least 5 comments were quite literally 'buy a gun and shoot him', those had by far the most upvotes. When I said I hope theyre joking, I got downvoted and told you dont joke around when it comes to Nazis.

    So yeah, maybe Lemmy is becoming kind of radical.

  • Partly agree there. Top talent in this context doesnt have to mean you are an expert at something. It usually just means you are worth a lot of money because having you generates even more money.

    Imagine making 50k and generating 100Mio a year in protif for your company (doesnt matter how, maybe you just know the right people, Biden is your cousin or something). Wouldnt you feel exploited? Some other company might offer you 500k, bevause they know its still more than worth it.

  • Which is obvious because a huge part of big paychecks comes from exploiting others (directly or indirectly). You cant make the same amount of money 'doing the right thing'

  • Why do honest effective charities have to suffer because of some others who exploit the system?

    You could just pick some that arent greedy like this.

  • givewell.org ranks charities by their 'efficiency' in multiple categories and offers funds for bundled donation according to their constantly updated ranking. Its really cool for finding reputable charities if you are worried about your money going where it is needed.

  • givewell.org does kind of the opposite. It ranks charities by their 'efficiency' and offers multiple funds for bundled donation according to their constantly updated ranking.
