This is why I’ve just never liked super hero universes.

In isolation, it’s passable, fun even, and I’ve enjoyed some marvel stuff.

When they actually try to do world building, it’s just so, so bad.

This is my opinion, apologies to those who generally like the Marvel universe, but I just can’t stand it. (Based on the handful of films I’ve seen or heard about).

It might not be legal, but it’s already morally acceptable to shoplift from Coles and Woolworths

I just don’t because it would be a massive pain if I were to be caught

This is so fucking stupid. I’ve worked in hospitality, saying please and thank you just comes with the territory no one needs to be checking if you do it.

In a cafe that’s the whole service (in my country at least): being friendly to people, and providing a nice place to hang out and have a coffee, the actual beverage is secondary.

Saying please and thank you is such base politeness. You can easily be rude or cold even when you do use them, and conversely, be absolutely lovely without using them at all.

People don’t go to burger king for the pleasantries, the amount of politeness you should expect is the same as anyone else walking down the street.

Policing politeness with technology is stupid. People should ask each other how they’re going genuinely. Not from a place of corporate greed.

Fuck this capitalist dystopia.

Props to the camera person for showing the message.

Every small resistance counts ✊

I’m glad this meme is known internationally

Is it? Seemed like a dig specifically at the fact that China doesn’t have a true union movement. Not a dog at communism in general.

China isn’t communist, nor very socialist, for that matter.

Capitalism with Chinese characteristics seems more of an apt description.

Pointing out that China is a dictatorship doesn’t mean that socialism is bad.

My least favourite argument is them pointing to the reduction in poverty.

Like, I could say the same for capitalism. Which I won’t because capitalism needs to be abolished, but just “there was a massive reduction in poverty therefore system good” is stupid.

Tankies aren’t socialists in my eyes because socialism necessarily needs to be democratic control by the people.

It’s silly that they don’t just operate from the browser. It’s how I use Patreon on my (admittedly not iPhone) Phone.

They should have just pulled Patreon from the app store.

It’s not like it’s such an impediment to ask users to use their browser.

In an ideal world we would not have monopolies controlling app stores, but I think Patreon is really stupid for not just abandoning the app store.

Is this the minimum required, or just common?

We have 4 weeks annual leave (not including sick leave and public holidays) and I reckon it’s not enough 🇦🇺

Probably because our union movement has been crushed by years of hostile governments and right wing media monopoly.

Ah, right you are. Just not on Voyager

Us Lemmy folks reading these comments from a different reality.

Sounds neat, perhaps I shall move one day.

For now, Voyager app doesn’t support PieFed yet (well, not much).

Seems to function mostly as a like/dislike button combined with whether a post/comment should be more/less popular.

What I meant here is that the commenter seemed to be implying we should only focus on the soldiers who carried out the order.

This whole piece is un-australian for exposing a great Australian past time.

This video should be removed for national security (to protect our fun).

Luckily most visitors to our country won’t see this video ;)

Yes? But also, he did order it.

I think the downvoted are because we don’t know what you’re trying to say.

You can bet your ass foreign spy agencies are laughing their arses off about this as they track whatever targets they like

What’s worse, is this was the plan all along

I didn’t choose it (not my video).

I’d encourage you to watch it anyway, if you can get past the trauma…

No, it’s not my video, and it’s not like I chose the thumbnail.

I’ll just say folks, this has left me with a “people just like to complain” vibes.

The video is excellent, and exposing how the internet is the wild west of companies lying, cheating and stealing.

Maybe you could engage with that, rather than the creator having to make a stupid thumbnail to keep the algorithm happy.

I wonder how much specifically traffic noise contributes to premature deaths compared to noise pollution in general.

I’m betting it’s most of it haha

Literally any device plugged into a dumb screen is better than a smart TV.

The hardware on a smart TV is typically absolute trash. It’s why they’re so slow.

Edit: This includes laptops, which is what I’d use, why do people even consider extra devices?
