The other 4 are hiding it.

Companies will charge what the market will bear. If Netflix increases prices and lowers quality and people keep paying the higher price for lower quality, then Netflix will keep doing it. It's up to consumers to not pay for enshittification in order to stop it.

It's not that it doesn't solve all problems, it's that it creates problems.

The difficulties in hiring are part of the cost of doing business, like having staff on hand and you end up not needing them all that day.

It's shitty on both ends. For those hiring they have to go through all the applicants, interviews, etc, but all the applicants are going through the same thing: applying to jobs whose descriptions do not match reality, interviews with people who already do not intend to hire them, pay rates not listed or misleading...

How do you suggest applicants deal with this? Should employers have to pay $20 per application they wish to receive?

They literally call themselves pro-life and then express support for the death penalty.

So far, the best system we've come up with as a species is heavily regulated capitalism with strong social safety nets

And for quite a lot of human history the best system we had come up with was Feudalism, until we started doing something better.

Just because Capitalism is the best we've come up with so far doesn't mean we should just accept it, or that 1000 years from now people won't look at the Capitalism with the same disdain we look at Feudalism.

Until it stops increasing profits.

A Kleenex and any different facial tissue are very similar. A Coke and an Orange carbonated beverage are very different.

"Our politics are incompatible"

"Well your political opponent says the same thing, that means you're both the same. I Am Very Smart."

I don't think anyone called the hecklers antidemocratic for being there.

And because she had a quick response for them other MAGA are going to claim they were plants and not real MAGA.
Love when they go to "prove" something only to get disowned by their own in-group.

Trump's response would have been "won't somebody rid me of these troublesome Democrats?"

 

Received a text from a pollster asking me who I'm going to vote for, is there any good reason to respond?

 

This is a weird one.

I am subscribed to Risa@startrek.website When browsing on my phone I can see the thumbnails just fine. When browsing on my desktop ublock origin blocks the thumbnails and avatars, but only from the startrek.website instance, and only when I'm accessing it through Lemmy.ca

If I go directly to startrek.website I can view everything fine, and other instances I am not encountering this issue with. Any idea what might be the cause? I am using Firefox.

 

I can go to the main page of a Lemmy instance and see whatever is active on that instance at the time, but is there a way to get something like r/all for all federated instances?
