I can make a hamburger and fries in like ten minutes active cooking time for £3, and it’ll have proper beef and be perfect.

What is even happening at Burger King?

It’s fetched, but not very far

I know that, you silly billy. The view is just better from afar

In Germany they say “the devil shits on the biggest pile”. But like, in German. Life’s a funny old thing, isn’t it?

Well, I left America, so yes. I find I am.

Would I give up my car free lifestyle for windshield augmented reality that makes it look like I’ve got Mad Max as a crucified hood ornament? No, but it’s an excellent try.

My claim to fame: played through that running section on an iPod touch in 2010.

Only took about an hour. I had more free time, back then.

Agreed that the position should be subject to drug testing. You have to be sober as a cat to pilot a commercial plane, but a speed junkie can have nukes? Insane.

The HR sector are a blight on humanity. They’re the HOA of corporate departments.

Oh shit, of course Sheogorath shows up in this thread

Still voting in the states, mind you. Dual citizen 🥳

You know what would be amazing? If wimping out meant Biden got to debate a sane republican instead. You know, someone Biden probably knew from school, like Teddy Roosevelt or something.

Hmm. The main joke here was meant to be how far back I had to go to think of a sane republican, but flubbed it with a “Biden old” punchline. Hat on a hat.

Read the comments under this post. You will surely not regret learning every bleak and twisted thing Lemmy users can think of

The fact that I’m 100% confident this will never happen, and absolutely needs to, convinced me to leave the states.

The fight to resist evil is never wholly successful, but always necessary.

I think you’re probably closest. There aren’t “filters” so much as we live in a universe that can only support life on a highly contingent basis, entirely by accident, at random intervals. It’s filters all the way down, really. None of us are getting out alive, might as well enjoy it while it lasts.

I have never cared for human nature. It’s tedious at best and often ghastly. We should all concern ourselves much more with human nurture.

To put it plainly, we should not be letting corporations do research on how to manipulate our most base instincts on social media. That would have been a moderate solution a century ago. Now we would need a more radical approach, such as outlawing most forms of advertising content and social media manipulation. And even raising the topic probably makes me sound insane.

If a platform puts arrow buttons on everything people say, and tell you that up means you get “points”, it’s a social metric. At this point if you’re trying to create a consensus metric, you’ll have to think of something else. It’s too ingrained in us.

Fuck the junta
