It’s not murder when the rich do it.
Gentle nerd freak of the pacific northwest. All nation states are vermin.
It’s not murder when the rich do it.
You can find isolated examples from western cuisines (often rich people food) but mixing savoury and sweet is still an exception. You don’t get things like how palm sugar is used in so many savory staples from SE Asian. Applesauce or quince paste aren’t as ubiquitous in western food as chutney is in Indian.
I’ve also just met way more westerners who talk about salty/sweet mixes being gross. Raisins in rice, pineapple on pizza and fruit in salad are all things I’ve heard (mostly americans or australians) react strongly to.
You know that feeling you get when you look into your dog’s eyes? The same parts of your dog’s brain became active, so they’re probably feeling similar emotions at that moment.
I always think of white people as the ones complaining about raisins in food. So many delicious savory dishes with raisins from the Middle East or India provoke strong reactions from western pallets used to food that only does 1 thing, rather than combining multiple flavours.
Larger platform changes such as ranking content based on quality, rather than engagement, might hit at the root of the problem
Wait, we shouldn’t just let people create intentionally divisive outrage machines?
Some people love to dry hump strangers on a crowded bus or train, is that more like it?
I have to admit I don’t understand what connection this has with paying for music apps.
I’m pretty sure if you’re paying for it, that’s not love.
The real cycle is:
Rich people create hard times, hard times create more poor people, rich people create more hard times.
Didnt we already know that elon opened starlink to the russians? I thought he announced after that call with putin?
Oh yeah, I see that. No idea what I thought it said.
Yep. Pence is the one with lady blinders, like a horse, to protect him from seeing things that might scare and confuse him.
Y’all … You guys … you’re
Let’s ignore the question of what you think moralizing is if you saw it in the eight words you replied to. What I’m curious about is, do you think you’re talking to Hezbollah? On Lemmy?
part of God’s plan
Netanhayu’s not god, he’s just a brutal lying tyrant with no respect for human life - so I can see how you’d get confused.
My understanding is that a lot of the big agribusiness is structured as a monopsony - all the people farming a particular crop have only one big Ag company they all have to sell their produce to and that company sets the price low enough that the farmers doing the actual growing for Big Ag are still getting screwed.
Exactly. That’s a service that some rich people could be making profit on and here we are just giving it away for the collective good of our society. Won’t someone think of (financially screwing over) the farmers?
Peep Show also has that joke - “Slaves, Jeremy” VS “Whips, Rimmer”.
But there’s a good chance that the answer wasn’t slaves, but well paid, hard-drinking work-units, organized along the lines of boat crews, all working together during a public festival and overseen by well trained specialists.
Yep! In my experience it’s awful and it stays awful for ever.
But just like with going to work, over time you come to accept that existence is suffering.
I’m not criticizing the author I’m criticizing the purpose that verbal tool was constructed for. It was designed to close off debate and that’s the only way it’s ever used.
It’s the best example of what it’s trying to describe. It’s a hypocrite of a phrase, engaging in what it condemns.
shouting “ACAB” in a thread about police violence, making jokes about beheading rich people, or throwing “muskrat” comments in discussions about Elon Musk
You were talking about people on lemmy insulting the powerful. Specifically the police, the rich and musk.
The white house has plenty of influence over israel, they’ve just chosen to green light the genocide and netanyahu’s regional escalation against the advice of our own experts.
An arms embargo would empower anti-netanyahu voices in israel who could point to his mismanaging of israel’s most important bilateral. It would reduce the rate and kind of weapons the idf could bring to bear against civilians, saving lives.
