I don’t think it’s anything that remotely “kind”. I think it’s an attempt to further the wealth divide using intelligence as a proxy to try and perpetuate a more easily controlled populace.

If you want an easily controlled populace, wouldn’t you want to increase the amount of intelligent people opting out of perpetuating their intelligence? Wouldn’t you want more of the type of person who would have a kid by accident?

I get that intelligence propagates through teaching, adopting is a thing, etc, but I’m talking broad strokes here.

I’ll fully admit it’s conspiracy minded as all hell and awful close to “race replacement” bullshit (get me a vomit bag please). I just look at the type of people who are choosing to not have kids lately and go “but you’re the exact type of people who are being a wonderful thorn in the side of the billionaires! We need more of you!”

So get teaching. Go be a community role model. Make sure you spread the knowledge and amti-establishment attitude even if you don’t have crotch goblins.

It’s been more than five years since I touched it, but it didn’t work too great for me.

My problem with it is that it requires you to set it all up. The tasks, frequency, chains, point values, etc. I was always second guessing my settings, and it’s very easy to make it too easy.

You have to want it to work, and not want to metagame the gamification of your todo list. That gets harder when you look at the social aspects of it and see all the people with high scores and such who absolutely are metagaming the system instead of just using it as a habit aid.

Fair enough. What’s stopping you Mr. Freedom Fighter?

It’s funny you think you deserve even as much as I gave you when you put so much effort into talking down at the people who you think should be piling their own corpses in the street.

“hurr durr” are you fucking kidding me with that shit? Did I take a time warp back to being a teen in the mid 2000s? Should we start calling things retarded and gay again while we’re at it?

And the two points I’m making are pretty damn direct. Maybe you should work on the education situation where you’re at if you’re having trouble keeping up.

There is such a thing as not tipping your hand early.

“Why isn’t the whole of the UK on fire? Don’t you see what’s going on in Jaywick? Why do all you people suck so bad that you aren’t setting everything on fire? Clearly the problem is you.”

Hush now, people who actually have first hand experience with the country and populace are talking.

That’s the neat part, you don’t!

You just get to feel marginally safer that there is at least the opportunity for someone out there to do it.

Decent chance it’s not the same specific folks.

Spill so much blood you’ll need a bucket and a mop

Where meme?

Edit: Here’s a quick image for posts like this, enjoy.

I’m sure understanding those things helps, but it’s not an easy thing to hear for people stuck in an imbalance in the relationship.

Sure doesn’t feel “healthy” when you feel your needs aren’t being met, especially when you get told the problem is you because you want more than they are willing to give.

“A big part of my love language is physical intimacy. When my partner doesn’t reciprocate any interest in it, despite every attempt on my end to communicate my needs, it makes me feel unloved. I’m hurting and you’re going to tell me it’s my fault?”

Look, it’s very easy to casually give advice like this when you aren’t stuck in what feels like a fundamentally broken relationship.

That sounds great. No offense to OP, but even with the blur the speed of theirs would just make me anxious all the time.

I have a hard time believing this isn’t a shitpost project.

It’s only going to increase as midterms get closer. Much like 4chan, just because lemmy isn’t run by business and political interests sure as hell doesn’t mean it has any further resistance to astroturfing than social media that is.

As long as it’s easier to make accounts and posts than it is for moderators to moderate, you’ll see shit like this.

Even if it’s astroturfing that aligns with your beliefs folks, please keep your eyes open for it.

Sucks is an understatement.

Look, there’s enough to go around. If anything, the horrid state of the Democrats should only highlight just how fucking bad the Republicans are.

Like, the bar was set down a mine shaft by the Democrats to begin with. What do you mean the Republicans reached the fucking planet core?

I don’t know how you can look at all the pictures and video clips of Biden creeping on girls, read testimony from some of them from the past who have grown up, know that Epstein’s Island wasn’t some politically partisan affair (how the fuck did Trump suck off Bill Clinton at an Epstein event if Bill wasn’t there)… and decide that of all fucking people, Joe fucking Biden deserves the benefit of the doubt on being a pedo.

Hands down he was better than the sack of fat and bronzer we have now. That doesn’t mean he wasn’t an obvious as fuck pedo.

It is in fact possible to understand the horrors of the Democrat fuckstains while understanding the Republicans are monumentally worse.

What the fuck? I was like dead certain that you were stuck with a bunch of high schoolers at a grocery store or something. That should never be happening anywhere remotely close to a cube farm.

Best strategy is to play dumb. “Hello, [fuckface’s manager], I have some concerns about the tiktok content [fuckface] is making for the company and some questions about my job responsibilities in relation to it. [Fuckface] pretty regularly interrupts my work to request me to act in these videos and it is getting in the way of my usual duties. If my participation is required, could you please let me know in writing? I’ll also need to discuss with my manager about how this should be prioritized and scheduled alongside my other job duties.”

Force their awareness in a way that doesn’t immediately look like an assassination. The more you can get in writing the more rope this guy makes to hang himself with. If somehow they claim it’s actually work related, keep pushing the edges of “I just want to be sure” until his channel is company property or he shoots himself in the foot.

Alternatively, get paid to intentionally do bad acting. “Oh, I’ve never been good on camera, sorry!”

Why would that take the fun out of it? Just tell them no.

Just like this coworker. Just tell him no. “I’m not helping you with your side hustle man, find someone else.”

Do they wash their human-skin-suit by hand, in a laundry machine, or get it drycleaned?

Lol, lmao even. Welcome to the grind. There aren’t many/any easy ways, it wildly varies based off your situation and skillset, and anyone who found any sort of “trick” isn’t about to share it.

The “easiest” way online, assuming no particular skills, is probably mechanical turk work. Amazon has a system for it. mturk.com

You get paid barely anything, I mean like literal pennies, to go and do stuff like fill out surveys, categorize photos for AI training datasets, etc. Most people who make any halfway reasonable amount from it are using all sorts of scripts and stuff to maximize how much they can do in the least amount of time.

If you already have money, giving it to an investment banker to handle for you can be enough to live off of, but you need an absurd amount of money to start with in order to just live off dividends.
