I read a similar article a few weeks ago, and I think your concise summary is better than the article linked in this post.

I think Yanis goes a bit overboard with stating that capitalism kinda no longer exists, since it really is about a new group of rich people simply inserting their companies as evil middlemen who leach money off the whole system.

I’m not sure the solution has to be revolutionary or super complex. I’d think that large countries and groups of countries (e.g. USA, the EU) could implement their own mega marketplaces, leaching off much less money and avoiding the sort of corrupt BS that Amazon etc do to keep prices artificially high, and these governments could also stop allowing the mega platforms to do business in their region. Big countries want to facilitate an economy, and if private industry is proving to be too broken with their current approach, governments could step in to create more functional marketplaces that still work nicely in the internet age and don’t have horrible middlemen crap dragging everything down.

Slamming track. This album features a bunch of great music production!

‘Make sure you wear the hard hats, boys. The shirts can go, though, and underwear…yeah, lets skip that as well. You should all be, uh, comfortable’

That sounds super tasty and fancy. Nice for a special Christmas cocktail!

Great song. Powerful strategic use of dropping the f-bomb, and just an emotionally powerful song overall. It didn’t dramatically change the world, but it got plenty of airplay and it made it’s point.

Old Town Prague is one of the most beautiful city areas in the world. It must cost a fortune to keep that place constantly clean and free of graffiti, but it’s money well spent.

Everquest II was released in 2004. It is pretty crazy that they are still releasing expansions for it. And it’s kinda crazy that I played it for at least a hundred hours earlier this year during a nostalgia binge.

Everquest was released in 1999

Yikes. Don’t fukin mess with Verna. Verna is not playing around.

Kbin and Lemmy etc should simply allow options for preferred languages, and people can select whatever they prefer. Giving them the option to not see posts or see translated posts should work out fine. I bet this problem get resolved eventually. In the meantime, I’m not too bothered by blocking magazines/communities that are non-english. No biggie.

It’s mostly a solo game. You explore, build bases, buy and upgrade ships and tools/weapons, and other assorted stuff. More than anything else, it’s a cool random planet generator, so you travel around checking out planets until eventually that gets boring, which might happen soon, of after a couple hundred hours.

You mean like…ALL life on Earth? From a single teaspoon full? I doubt it. Would it kill the drunk camper who picks it up and decides to use it to keep his sleeping bag warm? Maybe.

This has kinda been a thing since the invention of money and real estate

Dinner or drinks first, or it’s likely to not work out. But I wouldn’t care about a TV tuner, so you can safely cut dinner (but leave in at least a drink or two…I mean come on)

neither. They probably just haven’t implemented default facial expressions yet (but probably have support for them).

Good for you. Luckily for random stranger lady, you didn’t take advantage of her situation.

Solar Installer or Wind turbine installer. Manager or project manager at companies that do solar or wind power installations.

Artist who builds sculptures out of scrap metal and/or trash or recycled objects.

An updated version of ‘junk yard owner’, possibly refurbishing or otherwise breathing new life into objects that would normally be trashed, and selling them to new owners.

You have nothing to be sorry about. You politely inquired about posting memes, you didn’t simply start posting large numbers of them.

I’d prefer that memes mostly exist in communities clearly labeled to be meme filled, so that I can ignore them most of the time. I keep blocking more and more communities because I see a few memes from them…

Good for them! I wish them luck, now that they managed to escape their evil empire and set out on a more positive path.
