Zombie@feddit.ukto Casual UK@feddit.uk•Are you eating chocolate digestives wrong?English11·3 days agoBBC giving free advertising in disguise, wtf? Evan Davis can’t have a podcast about heat pumps because they’re “controversial” but they can make fluff pieces for private corporations? What a shower of bastards.
Zombie@feddit.ukto UK Politics@feddit.uk•Keir Starmer welcomes ‘clarity’ of UK supreme court’s gender ruling2·3 days agoIn the short term, definitely.
In the long term I’d hope that it collapses like the Trump administration appears to be in the very beginnings of. So cruel and incompetent that large percentages of the population finally wake up to the shit oppressive capitalist system we live under and force genuine progressive change to improve all our lives. No more Tory light, actual fucking socialism.
Billions of people live their lives working all day every day, to what end? We have so many amazing machines, computers, robots, we don’t need to be working all our days all day to make some rich pricks who purchased a factory more money. Productivity is so immensely high. The Bread Book came out in 1892 and argued then that productivity was high enough to not need all of us to be working as much as we do, productivity eclipses that now by an insane amount. We don’t need to be constantly stressed and doing the bidding of some prick boss and yet that is the experience of the majority of the population across the world.
All so they can watch the number in their stock portfolio go up and up. Literally dragons hoarding gold for no other purpose than to hoard it. And brag to the other dragons about how much they have.
We’re genuinely at the point that the ancient Greeks dreamed of, of being able to eat figs, have orgies, and play with the arts all day and yet we all get up and commute to work and back instead because wealth is so unevenly distributed.
Zombie@feddit.ukto Videos@lemmy.world•Man trapped inside driverless car as it spins in circles0·4 months agoPlease stop bending over backwards for the corporations. The customer shouldn’t have to control the taxi when they’re calling for emergency support like this. Should he just crawl into the front seat and drive the thing for them as well?
He was on his way to a flight. Flights are expensive. Of course he wants reassurance that his costs will be covered if he misses it due to their failings. He has no idea for how long he’s going to be continually going in circles and we don’t know for how long he’d already been going in circles.
This is a customer in distress and you’re shitting on them because they had a stressed tone towards the mega-corp representative? Shameful.
Zombie@feddit.ukto Boost For Lemmy@lemmy.world•Mark as read on scroll not working.English2·10 months agoIt worked for me perfectly from release until a couple of days ago. Ads started appearing in the app around the same time it stopped working, so perhaps they’re affecting how it works? I dunno.
If I click the tick to denote a post is read, it’ll disappear. And posts still dim during scroll as if the app knows they’re read but just isn’t hiding them anymore.
Zombie@feddit.ukto World News@lemmy.world•Greek coastguard threw migrants overboard to their deaths, witnesses sayEnglish32·10 months ago“That’s something that happens. The migrants travelling the Aegean Sea, very often they abandon the children. They don’t seem to have the same… affection we have for children.”
The blatant dehumanisation is sickening as well.
To be fair, bodybuilders do lift the lighter weights. Gotta get that high rep range for the pump.
Powerlifters, strongmen, and Olympic lifters lift the heavy weights to get stronk.
Not to mention the constant paranoia and assumption that you’re stealing from them whilst saving them an immense amount of labour costs. Cameras watching your every move and “UNEXPECTED ITEM IN BAGGING AREA”.
Makes for such an enjoyable shopping experience…
