@supersolid_snake@lemmygrad.ml and @sovietsnake

Both metal Gear fans, both make good posts. The character from the game uses the code names naked snake and solid Snake. I like to imagine this literally applies to these two users too lmao.

@uthredii@lemmy.ml you can be mod there if you would like

🤯

Also shout out to smash for adding in terry, a character aint anybody ever heard of lmao

a teacher once told me;

think about how stupid the avg person is, and now imagine that half of them are dumber

hey elon, the greenest cryptocurrency is to not use cryptocurrency

mean I think most men still think of women as property, which is why they think its okay to sexually harass them, so I think protection typically still stems from this.

Hmm? Protection and sexual harassment are related?

Made it for networking. Has been a major asset in terms of not having to give everyone my phone number

But you’re a nice guy sexypeach and we have you uwu

The report warned that Amazon’s labor crisis was especially imminent in a few locales, with internal models showing that the company was expected to exhaust its entire available labor pool in the Phoenix, Arizona, metro area by the end of 2021

Bruh it sounds like the way dairy farmers talk about their cows.

This whole thing does sound like imperialism is fundamental to capitalism.

Is this when amazon starts pushing the gov to take in more temp foreign workers?

this is the most late stage capitalism statement i’ve heard this year

based cause fu netflixs, but hope the 300 workers bounce back immediately

We are a family until we need to fire 🔥 some people.

Basically a narcissistic family. Narcissism is sorta a good 1 word description of capitalism

in simpler terms to uphold the idea that women are property and the implications that come from that - if they are property then they need to be protected

Holy! This sounds about like what society sublimely says.

Of course, if a woman is to assert that she is not property or challenges her status as property or causes trouble for the property owners it may make sense for the system to then treat them as hostile and allow a counter-narrative to exist, such as it’s okay to hit a woman in these circumstances, otherwise we should protect them as we protect property.

the stock market! Dump when it does down, buy when it goes up.

Protect woman, but if they’re bad call them a b or karen. Whereas a dude - no specific b word and no trending karen equivalent.

Let me guess - women now earn money outside the household, therefore hitting them and risking giving them ptsd/whatnot lowers their output therefore protect women by default? But since like african-american women are more likely to be on welfare than caucasian women, lowkey default to calling african-american women welfare queens and be fine with them being mistreated more?

becoming a social media celeb is (like the lottery)

probably the best description ive ever heard of social media celebs. 1 caveat is that there are multiple lotteries -

• the first is having rich enough parents that if the venture celebritism fails (which is most likely) you’re not at homeless risk

• being good looking enough + not being toooo disabled in a way that impacts venture internet celebritism

• a few others im not thinking of atm

then finally someone can enter the twitch/tiktok/etc streamer lottery

whereas for reg lottery, you cant boost your odds, aside from buying more tickets

The act of wanting to comodify yourself isn’t capitalist in a literal sense to me (I could be wrong though) as you aren’t literally exploiting other people’s Labour for profit but the conditions and markets etc (such as people selling themselves to sponsors and advertisement companies) is very capitalist and it makes me sad to see people essentially sell their bodies to companies for a chance of escaping economic instability. I find that so sad but so typical of capitalism so I do see your main point OP, self branding while in itself not inherently capitalist is one facet of a cruel and manipulative capitalist

You worded it much better than me

i think rightwingers are mean, assuming someone gets offended by being a c or f, but they sorta reclaimed slurs within their own communities.

Just one: does daddy love me?

Honestly very impressive
