Capitalism is nothing but a giant pyramid scheme.
I'd say it's more like disguised feudalism. We're all peasants for the few kings and queens that have all the money at the top.

Holy shit, I can't imagine being in such a relationship even just for a small amount of time. Having kids with someone I fundamentally disagree with is just on another level.
I guess if you're not into politics/news at all, it can kind of happen. 🤷

Agree with almost everything except the useless or harmful part. It's just a meme meant for a quick laugh, it's not that serious.
If we want to be serious though, the Republican party has been going further and further right in the past couple of years. The meme is kind of expressing this in a way.

They probably renovated to split it into 2 tiny apartments that they rent for double or triple the price each.

You get internet access if you pay the 8 dollars, you don't need internet access to watch the free movies/shows. WiFi =/= internet access.

Liftoff. Lemmy app. Do you like the way it works now?
Coming from the Reddit is Fun app, I tried Jerboa first, thought it was fine, then tried Liftoff and it feels a lot better to me so far. But I'm still new to this universe, so I might try other apps and change my mind! Loving the diversity so far at least!

Marijuana addiction is real. Those struggling often face skepticism.

After about 8 years of daily smoking (and slowly smoking more and more because of tolerance building up) I decided to quit for various reasons.
I'm at about 10 days off cold turkey and I'm still struggling a lot. At the beginning was a big loss of appetite, trouble going to sleep and obviously the psychological desire to smoke. The worst part for me though is the intense anxiety, irritability and the lack of motivation to do anything. It feels like falling back into depression and slowly try crawling out of it.
Really disappointing to see so many people in here denying what I'm going through. Yes there's always been propaganda against using, but there's still some truth to it. I'm still glad that it's legal here in Canada because it did help me at one point, but like every drug, you have to be careful.

Took a quick look at the wiki and have to admit that this is hilarious:
Both a zero-cost version and a purchasable "enhanced" version called LimeWire Pro were available; however, LimeWire Pro could be acquired for free through the standard LimeWire software, where users distributed it without authorization.

Fun fact: The US isn’t even in the top 3 most litigious countries.
Not very surprising in a way... considering most of the population lives paycheck to paycheck, they can't afford a lawyer for sure.

Suuuure. Not paid directly by the gov, but unless you've been living under a rock, everyone knows that politicians and big corporations (or in this case: Fox News) work hand in hand to push propaganda... Or like you said "put a positive spin on negative events".
People just like to jump on TikTok and be like CHINA BAD!. As if America was an angel lmao.

Yeah like "free speech" being a "far right" thing, while simultaneously trying to stop people from talking about LGBTQ+ issues.
Meanwhile the left is doing what that's against free speech? You can say bigoted things all you want still as far as I know. It'll affect what people think of you as a person, but that's not what free speech is about.
This person is a lost cause.

You could just move them over whenever someone decides to double it up. That way the person that was going to die alone is doomed to die anyway. 😂

Mitch McConnell faces resign calls over freeze: "Cognitive malfunction"
Honestly I do feel like people get too old at some point to be in power positions, but instead of just having a strict age limit like a lot of people are saying here, there should just be some positions that have this limitation. They could still work as advisors and such, as long as they don't have the last word.
People like Bernie Sanders for example can provide a lot of insight and have lots of experience in the field which is useful. But to have someone that could potentially die from taking a wrong step as a leading figure is a bit silly.
