- Comment on Why don’t more people start profit-sharing companies or co-ops? 1 week ago:
What you’re describing is not a cooperative.
The definition of a cooperative is where they’re Democratic and decisions are made collectively by all members.

If EU “credit unions”:
- Are not nonprofits,
- Everyone with a bank account isn’t an equal member and voter in meetings,
- All members aren’t given the opportunity to present proposals and decide how to spend excess revenue
…then it seems like that’s the problem
- Comment on Why don’t more people start profit-sharing companies or co-ops? 1 week ago:
Do they have monthly fees? If not, I wouldn’t say they exist
- Comment on Why don’t more people start profit-sharing companies or co-ops? 1 week ago:
Yeah, I’ve lived in Germany and those are terrible. Most charge monthly fees.
Credit unions are nonprofit banks that are coops. Everyone who is a member votes on what to do with the excess revenue, which usually gets paid as dividends back to the members (everyone with a bank account) or gets reinvested to cover cool services like ATM refunds, free travel/phone insurance, etc.
Its curious that the ides of a credit union was born in Germany but their credit unions suck
- Comment on Why don’t more people start profit-sharing companies or co-ops? 1 week ago:
They’re extremely popular in the US, especially in banking (credit unions). I have yet to find any country in Europe or South America with US-style credit unions snf it drives me crazy

- Comment on Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted? 2 weeks ago:
You’re asking the wrong question.
This is a story about two people. One committed an enormous act of violence and one shot someone.
The question is: should the CEO be prosecuted for his violent crimes?

When I was a kid, I downloaded Grand Theft Auto from g’nutella (kazzah). To avoid fakes, I usually downloaded the biggest version.
Well the reason this one was bigger than the rest was because there was a video file buried somewhere in the game’s directory structure. The video was Debbie Does Dallas, the next generation.
Besides that one time I pressed ‘play’ before ‘eject’ on the VCR and stumbled on my Dad’s porn, that was the first time I watched porn. And I watched it a lot. It taught me that promiscuous sex in college stairwells is normal and that college women often dont wear panties under thier short skirts.
Its one of the reasons I strongly believe that we need to teach kids about consent and sexual norms at a very young age. Otherwise they learn fucked up things from pornos.

Yeah for some reason Stremio glitched once and played totally the wrong movie. I can’t remember what I was trying to watch, but it ended up being about some weird US-Russian war from the folks on the ISS.I
I didn’t realize what was going on until 75% of the way in
