They're mimicking someone who's trying to say the word dictionary but ironically lacks the diction to articulate it and instead says 'wordbook'

It is humorous because of the implication that extreme right wingers ala Fox news and it's viewers are illiterate hillbillies. They're not. They're just insane.

Honest question. Are you a real person?

[-] SkyeHarith@lemmy.world 31 points 2 months ago

I'd argue we're already there. Once you hit zero it’s not like you zip out of existence. When everyone is poor and has no money, the rich get to hire you and pay you enough to buy their products and keep them comfortable. You'll never make enough to get out of poverty because it's designed to keep you there.

Poverty isn't just about not having money, it's about never making enough to get out of poverty. When you're always living paycheck to paycheck, payday loan to payday loan - you're screwed. The system will never let you out. You're too profitable in that state to let out.

Think of the boot theory. If I only give you 10 bucks a year, you have to buy the 2 dollar boots every year that last only a year. The moment you made 11 dollars, you could buy the 5 dollar boot that lasts you a decade. The system incentivizes company's to sell 2 dollar boots cause it makes them more money in the long run, and if the entire world agrees to never pay you more than 10 dollars a year, every company can make that much more money. That's why your market value is not your fair pay.

The real reason poverty exists is because rich people need a slave class without being directly liable for owning them.

To my utter dismay, I've learnt that there are some people who find that question entirely sensible and normal.

I know people who will refuse to watch anything animated or comic related

Notice how they said

Not assessed to be criminal

And not

Assesed to be not criminal

Scottish Cops are still Cops I guess

I think you have a tab problem.

I suggest you try out a 12 step program. Tabaholics Anonymous works.

Are you telling me you’d prefer a normal browser over an electron app running a mini browser hogging the resources of a full browser in what is the equivalent of a progressive web app??

EDIT: I know nothing. I just thought this would seem funny

Other software: Don’t like this change? Go fork yourself.

Open Source software: Don’t like this change? Go fork it yourself.

Emacs: What do you mean you don’t like this change? You wrote the Elisp for the package yourself.

Since when has Linux been about taking the easy way out?

Hey!

So I work in the corporate office for an industrial manufacturing company. Our main operations site works 6 days a week.

I’m trying to put together a proposal for management to convince them to bring it down to a 5 day work week at minimum.

I have talked to them ad-nauseam about the intangible benefits, but now I need to point to something concrete.

I would love some resources highlighting with evidence the effects to things like productivity, mental health, attrition, and even the bottom line if possible.

Thanks a bunch! and fuck Reddit I guess?! Skye
