At this point, I’d like to ask: If a foreign company threatens democracy in a country, is it legal for the executive to ban business with that company?
No? Then that doesn’t make sense. It’s a FOREIGN company, the government should have the right to do whatever it needs to protect its citizens in that regard.
Proof that neither following the law nor traditional morality are being appreciated by today’s youth.
The reason for that should be obvious.

Translation: “Workers aren’t happy with their pay and we keep refusing to give them a raise despite noticing a ceiling in their productivity.”
PAY. THEM. MORE.
Labor isn’t free, you cheapskate bastards.
It’s worse because the more bored you get, the more stimming you need. You need to stand up, move around, focus on anything that is NOT the conversation because it’s driving you insane and you NEED to get out. If at least you could fidget with anything but nope! It’s bad manners. It’s even worse if you’re sandwiched between two guests and you need to SIT. STILL.
And then I end up stimming with my foot anyway until a close relative nudges me hard to stop doing whatever I’m doing because it’s “not polite”.
Fuck that shit. Since then I don’t go to family meetings anymore, let them say anything but unless I’m really getting something worth it in return, I’m not. Doing. That. Anymore. Fuck that shit, sue me.
says CEO
Since when do CEOs do things because they’re actually useful and not because they want to cut costs at the expense of the workers and even the public?
In this case I think the bullshit wasn’t his, but his parents’.
Rich people never stop telling their kids that the poor are poor out of their own fault.
This guy did a great sacrifice trying to show the world proof of his beliefs, and learned valuable lessons in the process while unlearning the bullshit he was taught.
If I ever had to choose a rich person to become a politician, I’d pick this guy. After all, he now knows what being poor really means.
Oh no, I know where this story leads…
There’s a youtube clip where a cat looked at the mirror and started touching its own ears the moment it saw them in the mirror.
The fact that at least some cats are intelligent enough to recognize themselves in a mirror is a wonderful thing.
Even then, you’re still a bigot. Dude, grow up and touch some grass.
Thanks for the info.
Okay you’re being a bigot. You know why? Because people aren’t demanding to be called “your highness”. They are just asking to be called with their preferred probouns. Putting neo pronouns aside, it’s not a heavy burden to be called he / she / it / they.
And this is the internet! The are no bodies, only usernames. Why do you care if a person claiming to be a girl demands to be called a she? Oh my fucking god,what a scandal! The oppression imposed upon you, a free citizen, demanding that you have to use a pronoun different than “he” on the internet! The world is doomed! 😱 /s
What you’re really asking for is the “right” to harass trans people (by misgendering them) because you don’t like them and abhor the idea of women having something extra down there. (it’s not like they’re plotting to force sex you, just leave them be, okay?) Not only that, you’re so obsessed with hating them that you went out of your way to post your biased opinion ON A LINUX FORUM.
You’re being a transphobic asshole, and the mods were perfectly right in banning you.
Just accept that there are different people in the world. If you have a problem with that, maybe it’s you who needs professional help.
Holy shit, Pennywise was Tim Curry? 🤯
Today:
I’m excited to announce that Beeper has been acquired by Automattic.
Tomorrow:
We’re excited to announce that Automattic has been acquired by (Insert megacorp here).
Later:
Beeper personnel laid off; project discontinued
Just you wait.
The fact that we’re reading and commenting about it on Lemmy is satisfying, despite the sadness of the situation. It’s like watching the city burn after you moved away and saying “wow, I guess I really took the right choice by leaving.”
“Let’s treat our workers like slaves or else the entire economy will suffer” is a far worse take IMHO.
Establish a wage floor.
Establish a price cap.
If the corporation can’t make a profit from this, then perhaps their business model was not viable in the first place.
By decreasing billionaire executive bonuses, of course. You realize apps like Uver give shitty pay to the drivers and keep most of the profits for the execs, don’t you?
Repeat after me: They are MIDDLEMEN.
Did the ordinance specify that the app companies would have to absorb the costs and NOT pass them to the users? No? Ah, well, that explains it then.
Dear god, I hated that book so much. It’s like a self insert fic where self-entitled assholes can get a power high, and the student’s name was Albert Einstein.
