Pharmaceuticals are an important component of modern life. We really need them now more than ever. They are a good thing.

Their capitalist greed and the big money that runs them is also doing all it can to suck every last cent out of the public.

Unfortunately both things can be true.

I have a signed print of it (it was sent to me by accident, but I still love it)

I sit down on the toilet, open Lemmy, this is the first thing I see.

This is comprehensive, and impressive. Good job. Saving this post for my next purchase.

The importance of digital privacy and freedom. The way capitalism ruins everything you like.

well it’s gonna use you soon.

I just really hate flying and really like going places. Give me rails, I don’t want to drive either.

I’ve never wanted to post signs in my yard or put stickers on my bumpers because I didn’t want PEOPLE judging me. And people are judgmental. Now I’m glad I had that opinion because we have to worry about computers logging us so we can be judged in the future for whatever weird reason someone comes up with?

What happened to freedoms in America? It’s easy for a government to strip them after the people stop believing in them being important. Corporations are making free thought and self expression unimportant and dangerous and the gov’t will have no choice but to curb our freedoms in response. And we will cheer it on. I hate this shit.

Just like he wiggled into that sofa’s DMs

I grew up on the water. Saw these stickers everywhere. Cool, we all go to the beach all the time, we live on an island.

Then 7 years ago I moved to central PA. I see one of these stickers on cars here all the time. I’ve been making fun of it for years. I think they don’t know the river here is fresh water.

I had a similar discussion with some people at a barber shop back when Pre-Elon Twitter banned Trump. They were complaining about free speech and I asked if they knew what it actually meant (in the US). When I explained that we are ONLY guaranteed free speech from the gov’t, and that Twitter was a private business and could ban whoever they want, the same way this barber shop could tell someone not to ever come back everyone got real quiet like “oh shit I have to rethink my whole world view”. I actually got thanked at another time by one employee for telling them how it actually works.

I absolutely love this.

I enjoyed the Orb trend more, but it didn’t have the same staying power. You’d think they would have pondered that and done better.

I actually think the post title and text were edited AFTER I responded which made me look like an idiot, but whatever.

Man I’m just getting killed for misreading stuff lately.

I don’t know but that’s a ground symbol like you would see on an electronics schematic.

I have been eyeing this crowd sourced map thing for a week or two. When I read this headline today I learned there was a centralized app for it. I immediately downloaded it.

Late stage capitalism happened to us. Big money saw the writing on the wall as we got smarter and more ambitious and progressive as a people and said “not in my backyard”.

“Hunny! The nerds are here, break out the nice silverware!”

I try to avoid it. I only buy there what I can’t find locally, or elsewhere on the internet, or anywhere at the price. At this point, I probably purchase less than an item a month from Amazon, and I’m still trying to cut that down.
