Apple jacks prices to juice profits because $19.3B a quarter isn't enough
I read Apple Jack's like the cereal and was confused

Staying at the top.
So true -- It's totally because Gabe rules as King and they don't have 'investors' -- One day they'll sell or he'll die and it will be turned over to the wolves just like everything else.
It's telling how they have no real competition other than cash fire ad fueled investor snake oil a la epic ea ubisoft w/e -- Is GOG still cool/unruined by short term anti user greed?

Why in Sci-Fi they always use Marine or Naval terminology and structure instead of Aviation for the spaceship structure, navigation and military ranks?
Because they're way more like ships than they are planes -- Planes don't stay in the air indefinitely or take long voyages, have large crews, etc -- They often treat the fighter pilot space ship people like AF though -- Like if I have a 'carrier' with a bunch of smaller ships on it

end citizens united -- corporations aren't people
end lobbying so shell oil doesn't have 10000000X time and money to affect the government as a person does.
Quit assigning good/bad labels to companies that operate within the law and furious pursue laws that make us more equal, richer and safer overall

Homeschool rule
Raising your kids is ultimately about preparing them to be full productive adults that can seek fulfillment and provide a net good to the world once they're adults.
I don't see any way you could create a microcosm in your home (any home) and meet that goal or not severely hamper your kid from meeting that goal.

When she grabs the pot of boiling water, one deputy steps back “away from your hot steaming water,” he says.
“I rebuke you in the name of Jesus,” she says in response.
“Huh?” the deputy says.
“I rebuke you in the name of Jesus,” she repeats.
“You better fking not or I swear to God I’ll fking shoot you in the f**king face,” Grayson says to her.
Does it? Is a rebuking a threat with a weapon? Why doesn't the militaries just have shoot if you're scared rules but USA police do?

As someone once said, you will never see two chimpanzees carrying a log together.
Such a great point that really drives home just how much we cooperate and take it for granted.

The people with all the money don't care about anything like this. They don't even care about stewardship/long term value building except maybe the Dupont's and old moneyers. Why wait around trying to make or build something when I can just ride the hype train and make sure I get off and onto the next one before the house of cards falls down?
TSLA's market cap is 618 billion dollars
GM's is 45 billion dollars
Shell Oil's market cap is 200 billion dollars
I've decided that's what's wrong with everything at the core -- the only virtue is money and it doesn't matter how you get it. Spez or anyone else could be doing way worse and everyone would shrug.

Lemmy's total users surged from 156k to 240k in a single day today! What caused the jump?
It's the way tech disseminates into the world.
If you've been here for a month or more, you're a first adopter and the true heroes of our cause. You take up what makes no sense to -- what is untested and will likely be a waste of time.
These people then tell the early adopters, which is what you are if you've been here for a couple weeks.
Once we got on board, we told all our friends who join, and then the whole thing keeps snowballing.
Of course, Lemmy really has Reddit to thank for making us all balk enough to take a look at fediverse stuff. Mastodon really didn't do it for me when I checked on it a couple years ago, but this is awesome and totally makes sense.
Playing around with Pleroma now so I can follow users here!

It will design the machines to build the autonomous robots that mine the cobalt.... doing the jobs of several companies at one time and either freeing up several people to pursue leisure or the arts or starve to death from being abandoned by society.
