Edit: Obligatory RIP my inbox.

Can we leave this kinda stuff behind? It is NOT obligatory.

is this a Lemmy post of an Instagram post of a Reddit post?

Instead it was destroyed by two greedy fucks rushing the ending two seasons early so they could move on to their next cash grab flop!

Star Trek was literally always woke.

Good question. I wondered the same thing: could I see a shareable source that one might take more seriously than a meme?

Here's some things I found on DDG:

US DOL stats on wage theft

Then I found a couple more sources, one of which has OP's image, and both point to the same article from an organization called the EPI which I've never heard of. It seems to be some big NGO that's been around since the 80s but really vetting the credibility of this source is a bit beyond my attention span right now.

The EPI seems to have credible sources in that article and seems to cite them appropriately. The larceny et al. crime stats seem to come from an FBI data set from 2012. The EPI article itself is from 2014, so that eases one potential concern of cherry picking old data compared to current inflation numbers. But it's also worth noting that ten year-old data isn't great. That said, is it hard to believe that not much has changed in ten years? The figures seem reasonably trustworthy given this brief (BRIEF) assessment.

Great question, keep on askin'.

1. img is irrelevant but way cooler

2. you know why. all the leftists left reddit for lemmy because they actually stand up for shit. now it's just normies and chuds left.

3. yall shame each other for using reddit so it continues to be normies and chuds.

4. Nationality pages are always fascist

Why did this happen? Where did a random W come from? Everything is falling apart and no one is doing anything about it and we just get a W out of nowhere from nothing? How do we do it again

More importantly, Ohio voted to protect reproductive rights!!! 👍

"You deserve Trump because you blocked me on Lemmy!!"

uh oh a dollar is missing from the register there goes your raises for the next 20 years

Internet absolutely was better 15 years ago. Everything is paywalled now and there's constant disinformation. Algorithms feed you bullshit and people all post outrage bait to get attention. Not saying that stuff didn't exist 15 years ago, but it's absolutely become the dominant experience online.

Hardware has gotten better though!

Cool! Don't care! Fuck Tildes. And I'm a longtime RIF user and Tildes alpha user. (And it's still in alpha, years later...) It's a weird ass place over there. Not too keen on their "private club" theme centered around the "God of Tildes" either.

LMAO ITS BLOCKCHAIN

we called it, reddit goes fucking crypto bro

"ambiguous" ballot initiative? how about Keep Your Sleazy Hands Out Our Wombs, is that more clear?

Well I can't speak for anyone else, but me personally I never talk about it because I don't talk about mass shootings in general.

But occasionally I do think about that one. And Sandy Hook. And Aurora. And Uvalde. And Columbine.

you can't genocide if you got genocided, that's the rule, if you disagree you're an antisemite, now please send rockets to children hospital thank you

you poop AFTER you shower???

fyi discord has already been enshitifying for at least 5 years now

Bush was an absolute monster, but Trump literally broke brains. America will never be the same.
