  • 'NPR is cool!' How Tiny Desk Concerts became a pop culture phenomenon

    1. From the way you use the word, it's clear you don't know what enshittification means
    2. You sound like the kind of person who dislikes anything that's too popular. Chill

  • While I believe that nobody should be able to wield that much wealth in the first place, arguably being a world-famous artist is among the least unethical ways to become rich as long as the artistic work isn't bought from ghostwriters. It takes $10 in net profit from 100m fans to make a billion, and I could easily imagine a sizable crowd of her followers genuinely wanting to give her money like that (whereas, for example, I never would have willingly agreed to give Nestlé's leadership money, even when I used to buy their brands still).

    I don't care about her specifically, but from a "owning the fruits of your own labor" perspective, I think it makes sense for the art itself to be a big part of that.

  • If you are a tourist visiting Russia, what are Russians like when you engage with them out in public?

    Jump

  • Because I'm just interpreting the statement as it was written while you are reading an additional argument into it that the comment plainly does not make. I suggest you brush up on argumentation theory if that is too difficult for you to understand

  • If you are a tourist visiting Russia, what are Russians like when you engage with them out in public?

    Jump

  • The statement I was addressing was where they were called "exactly the same."

    You are the one misinterpreting a statement here, by insinuating that the OP's assertion of "exactly the same" was referring to Russia and US as a whole. It wasn't, and so the point you're arguing against is one that OP never made.

  • You're arguing as if they had said Russia and the US are morally the same; what they actually said was that they are guilty of the same aforementioned crimes.

    The [US] is actively and purposefully destabilising multiple countries and are basically terrorists at this point

    Tell me how that sentence is wrong.

  • Are you basing this rant on your personal (anecdotal) experience of it working out for you, or actual statistics?

  • ..Haley supports a nationwide abortion ban and can't remember what the civil war was about. Reasonable‽

  • DAE feel like theyre just eternally burnt out?

    Jump

  • Even "down time" doesnt really feel like down time because I am stuck between either boredom, working on yet another thing or thinking about things in general.

    Oh man, I feel this so much. Most of my hobbies are somewhat work-like so while I enjoy them, they're not really relaxing. And I can't really "do nothing"

  • I recently tried to find out whatever happened to it, couldn't find anything beyond the announcement that it would happen.

  • Stories of ‘beating the odds’ in China draw dark responses from wary public

    Jump

  • Foolish me for thinking no-one could possibly need an /s on that comment.

    I got the sarcasm, but this particular point is – as you've demonstrated very clearly in your response – the actual message you're trying to push.

    Or did you not know that highly addictive amphetamines is a commonly prescribed for ADHD?

    You're using "highly addictive" to insinuate that this is just a ludicrous and fundamentally flawed practice. No concern towards all of those who do have ADHD who report that medication has helped them live a life otherwise inaccessible to them. It's highly stigmatizing framing and just because you have a valid point about opioids does not mean you get to dismiss genuine mental health struggles as having fallen prey to a marketing scheme.

  • the real breakthrough has been convincing everyone that they have some sort of mental health issue that requires pharmaceuticals. The entire country is taking something, and that's been a huge help in keeping people docile.

    I was with you up until that point. You point out that the poor are made to fight each other and then you engage in a fight against the disadvantaged who need medical assistance? Fuck this science denying, ableist bullshit.

  • Considering you asked it to follow a rule that does not exist, it's unsurprising it can't do it "correctly"

  • Advertising

  • Not this particular picture. The ad is for a funeral service in Berlin but the station depicted is Hamburg Messehallen. Though I think there are real pictures of ads like this from within Berlin.
