Possiamo discuterne quanto vogliamo, ma il problema della bassa affluenza è da affrontare di per sé, serve tornare a fare politica partendo dalle persone e costruendo la comunità, circoli e sindacati

The bulk of my salary depends on the company I work in and my boss’ decisions

I have a much higher ability and chance to change that, compared to changing the tax system.

Taxes are just a fraction of my salary, and they supposedly also cover for my future pension. Meanwhile, most of my taxes pays for state jobs for essential services, such as schools and healthcare. Others pay for debt interests, for money that was used to invest in the country or pay said services.

Sure, a part of it is bad management and ill intentions, but that’s such a small portion of my salary. Depending where you live, you might be paying some vere generous retirement plans, but most of the retirement money goes to old people who would otherwise require help from their family.

So no, I don’t really care about my taxes. If I feel I don’t have enough money, there are other things I can do than complaining about them

They are not mutually exclusive

Just here to add Adobe to the list

I remember hearing that cultivated red meat already delivers less risk, although it’s still not commercially viable

Mh, perhaps there can be a partial “Lemmy contrarian” side to the story, probably because we are used for stuff in private companies to become monopolies and ruin the availability of good service in general, out of greedy dividend-focused choices monopolies do

I guess the question is if that’s the correct way to do or if we’d prefer public investments on childcare

Like, are the people in June Care background checked? You know to avoid bad service before some parent has a terrible experience

Not to mention that currency from a specific country is valuable if others are interested in investing there or in their products

As less and less governments and banks want to invest in the US, they lose interest in selling products in dollars, since the US doesn’t produce much anymore, just services

So they create currency in absolute value, but in terms of real buying power they are dependent on the opinions of the rest of the world

When Picard updates the 21th century scientist on what changed after the warp drive, in First Contact. That was the scene that convinced me to start watching star trek, thanks to a YouTube video about post-scarcity economy

From the series, some scenes from Measure of a Man would be an easy choice, but I actually probably prefer when Troi helps, again, the woman from the past find her family tree on the computer, don’t remember the episode name

Data/Sherlok sceses when the highly intelligent villain becomes sentient are also cool

Especially if Data was watching over him

Database queries, especially OpenSearch/ElasticSearch

My humble opinion: burnout exists, laziness doesn’t

Laziness is a buzzword concept to describe way too many states of mind, downplaying the causes of lack of motivation.

I think there are some words that, if avoided, allow deeper investigation into important things, and “lazy” is in the top 10 of that list

E soprattutto il punto è che il suo governo si regge a malapena sull’odio e la disinformazione, stica di cosa accadrà realmente, d’altronde molti dei suoi voti vengono dalla campagna dove non sanno nemmeno cosa sia un pride, mentre i cittadini di Budapest (a partire dal sindaco) sarebbero pronti a occupargli le piazze se veramente lo vieta

IT’S BEEN A LOOOOONG ROOOAD

no really I completely understand it can sound cringe but I enjoyed singing it almost every time

Family Guy

Star Trek Enterprise

And as an italian 90s kid, all cartoons on air in the 2000s

Shivers in my ass

I read cows at first 🫠

Dope stuff anyway

Cows negotiating territory is very funny 😁

Would love a documentary about it, if you have any pointers

My favourite is language, not even writing, but language itself. We could collectively invent ways to understand each others with codes shared by tens of millions of individuals, living kilometres apart.

And then I also love early astronomy, like being able to approximate Earth’s circumference (or later the time needed to reach Asia by navigating west), based on the shadow lenght at two fairly distant (but still pretty close) places, thanks to that quirky thing some friends of yours invented to divide land called geometry. To say nothing of those demonstrating Earth rotates around the Sun just by looking at star positions during the year.

As for recent things, something pretty cool we take for granted is radio signals. Information getting places without anything moving, just invisible vibrations through space.

Most handsome capitalist I know
