Zionists do not control the world! The only control USA and a small piece of land in the middle east.

I wish to become antisemite after all they have done in Palestine, but it’s a bit hard when you leave near Aushwitz and everyone around you prefers hating on germans.

OMG even black straight arrow is a nazi symbol?
- Comment on Email came out of nowhere 1 week ago:
WTF I just learned about this.
- Comment on Email came out of nowhere 1 week ago:
Oh god.
So swastika (a hindu symbol) got taken by nazis and now nazi colours are taken by anti-nazis.
And everyone still thinks they know definitely what specific symbol/colour/letter symbolizes?
I’m giving up. I’m never correcting anyone on nazis ever again. If someone tells me that rainbow was used by hitler-lovers, I will just accept it as possible.
- Comment on Email came out of nowhere 1 week ago:
On that I cannot disagree. All I wanted to defend was a singular lightning bolt.
- Comment on Email came out of nowhere 1 week ago:
What are you on about? Red and black anti fascism? Like, I dunno, people who wore those uniforms?
Yes, I am talking about this symbol. And while on the image you picked it clearly looks more like lightning, the narrower version was used too. And the idea that “SS” and “S” is the very same thing is just bonkers. All the alphabet would be symbols of hate by now.

Article is in Polish, but I thing google translate or DeepL should work for you to get the gist. They picked this symbol as “lightning”

It was used in Poland as a symbol of feminism when women protested against criminalization of abortion.
This is why it became nazi imagery, declared and sanctioned by polish right-wing government because they needed an excuse to stop the movement.
You from america, friend?

Profit makes right, no?
- Comment on Why exactly are nursing aids paid so poorly? 2 weeks ago:
If you can afford it, it will be exactly that expensive.
When government of my country passed a bill that gives monthly payouts of X per child to parents who both work and have at least one child, all daycare centers in the country raised their prices by X next month citing inflation.

I am inclined to believe that he didn’t choose to be born to this specific family.

Has he tried pulling himself by the bootstraps?
- Comment on Just give me someone to vote for who is normal 2 weeks ago:
Everyone is “I need someone who I can vote for!”
Why not run yourself? I bet there is a considerable amount of people willing to vote for a random person who has no known connections to oligarchs, pedophiles or billionaires
- Comment on 👴☝️I did that 3 weeks ago:
If production of cars and oil were the same companies, cars would be as cheap as TVs and gas for them would be 10x current price.
- Comment on 👴☝️I did that 3 weeks ago:
TV is cheap because you are the product. CEOs want you to see their ads, their propaganda.
Gas is expensive because they have not yet found a way to stop car-owner from leaving the sofa in front of TV

On average a person will rather share negative things than positive things.

People in my country in my job type tried to make an union, but other unions complained that we have too good to be allowed a union and initial members quickly dwindled.

Explanations why space expands are way more crazier than this.
- Comment on The rich convinced us that taxing them is too complicated but everyday people can be taxed pretty easily 3 weeks ago:
I honest to god used 10% as an idea of “ridiculously low tax” but I guess the topic of problems with billionaires may be too american for me.
Stocks should be taxed on buy/sell and yearly hold though.

Okay a history lesson on how capitalism started and feudalism fell.
When you are “rich” in feudal society it means you have land. Land that everyone sees, that gives predictable income and even least educated peasant would be able to tax you reasonably (reasonably = as high as possible without you starting a rebellion over it). But then come merchants - they can have a wagon full of wood or just a small pouch of spices and it would be worth the same. Nobody really knows how much their wares earn because it fluctuates and every goods transport is a huge risk. So the merchants gain wealth indefinitely because king can’t see how much they have ant tax them accordingly, while landowners get poor because they are taxed to oblivion.
Now who is the modern “nobility”? Who has wealth tied up and measured in such a way that government knows exactly how much to tax them? Wage workers. In fact your employer rats you out to government on how much you earn. In exchange things like companies, banks, stocks, loans etc. are in the “nobody knows how much they are worth” category. Say you are taxed 10% on the value of all the stocks you own, this means you have to sell 10% of your stocks annually, and by selling stocks you make those stocks less valuable for everyone… so technically they should be taxed less because value drops down? Generally speaking if taxing something changes it’s value drastically then governments avoid taxing it.
My personal solution - outlaw stocks, bonds and loans for fucks sake.

That sounds just like an excuse to hate one more person…
- Comment on Vibe management 4 weeks ago:
Perhaps it is my bias as someone who studied AI at the university, but I never believe it when someone claims to loose job due to AI. AI never fired you, AI never managed to replace you. Your manager is just bad at making business decisions, as most managers are nowadays. Current rich world of big successful companies was built on competent managers, those people are now either dead or too old to work and their replacements will drive us back to the medieval times while pretending they know best.
There are good, valid, profitable uses for AI. They are not pushed by big companies, rather utilized by small actors who fly under radar.

No, I’m asking about changing consent retroactively.
Say I consent today, we have fun… and in a few days I get informed that I could earn some money by claiming I did not consent.
- Comment on It's actually that simple. 4 weeks ago:
Good for you.
- Comment on It's actually that simple. 4 weeks ago:
I am saying, that a person can consent now, and then claim no consent and sue you later. Which I hope never happens to you, but the idea is quite an useful loophole.
- Comment on It's actually that simple. 4 weeks ago:
Yes, but what if a person decides that while they may have consented originally during the act, they benefit more from saying they have not consented later on?
- Comment on It's actually that simple. 4 weeks ago:
Okay, I’m gonna bite this bait - isn’t consent something decided later? Nobody can prove they said “yes or no” later after all so usually it’s based on who we decide to trust.
- Comment on Fictional "Journal of Astrological Big Data Ecology" has infected Google's search AI 4 weeks ago:
I mean… LLM is literally that. There is a reason why it’s called AI among marketing buffs, not among serious researchers or at the IT-specialized universities.
