That whould typically involve unions. No need for them here though.
Unions are great for a lot of things but they’d be less inclined to help on this as they, don’t all support the same parties, and probably dont want their workers to violate any contracts as it would damage future negotiations.
I think isn’t a matter of labour and would be stonger without unions. It needs to be from the people.

How many times has this man retired now? I hope he takes good care of himself though. Man wrote the sound track to many of our lives.

Between this and Pokémon sleep I’m questioning why Nintendo needs to watch us sleep.

I like this one. It’s just a fun little game, nothing crazy, no hidden lore or hours of grinding. Just a little story telling for the season.
- Comment on The Most Loved Video Game Character in Every Country 2 months ago:
The methodology seems sketchy. If this ai is just scraping tweets for mentions it may not know the difference between Mario or East side Mario’s (Italian restaurant chain in Canada) I don’t know anyone up here who’d say Mario is their favorite character in video games. It’s could also baised if a game had recently come out featuring any if these characters around the time of polling.

- Comment on Why don't passanger airplanes come with parachutes for people? 8 months ago:
Also just being realistic those parachute are probably just going to be questionable bargin bulk buys. They’d be designed to be as cheap as possible while just barely passing legal standards. They never be maintained or inspected. And there’s no way they support my 6’5" 300lbs ass as my frozen corps plummets to the earth below.

Another game paradox ground into dust. It had loads of potential but they never let the devs fix thing they had to focus on new content. Eventually it just became a buggy mess.
This one is the same game but with differnt developers? I’ve bet they’ve taken the soul out of it

I dont think that one is some urban legend. He did have to supplement a lot of animations because the real video only shows how the situation started. There’s news clips after as well. There is some honestly too lucky to be true elements to that story but the clips of the testimony at the end do make it seem pretty legit. It’s at least real enough to freak me out.

Ah yhea seeing these all over Toronto. I ain’t against it (though not for it either). But I do know that nearby OCAD is a supposedly very pro Marxist art school with the resources to mass produce flyers and stickers. So this is is probably just someone’s homework.
- Comment on Does one's autism affect their religious beliefs? Why or why not? 1 year ago:
Agreed, I’m new too the community but I am sure if OP asked this in autism@lemmy.world it would be just fine. Folks there are very kind.
In my family we’d joke Star Trek was closer to our religion then any other nonsense. We’d at least have a ritual around gathering as a family to watch it. I’m the only diagnosed one but I assume my family is thick with Nerodivergency. Also I’m not even that into trek.
When I was about 6 my older brother told me Santa didn’t exist and I was like “yhea that makes sense”. He also mentioned God didn’t exist and again and I reponded “well of course not”. At some point in my life the existence of Santa was more believable then the idea of God.
Growing up I was exposed to so many differnt cultures, differnt Gods. I think they are all valid, it is important to be secular within reason. Honestly, I’ve been a part of enough nerdy Fandoms over the years to see the parallels. I’d no more insult the Christian God then I whould Picard.
More to the question though it may have to donwith the whole sense of community and belonging thing.
From my understanding churches are a pretty vulnerable experience, there’s signing (potentally loud singinging), confessing of sins, forced friendliness, and positive expressions, and higtened emotions. It seems incredibly socially draining. If I had to do that unto school I’d have had a considerably more breakdowns as a kid.

I am sorry and you’re welcome 😆
- Comment on KeeperFX 1.0.0 released - Dungeon Keeper opensource remake and fan expansion 1 year ago:
I was thinking about Dungeon Keeper recently. I was really hoping since 2 Point revived Theme Hospital the may do the same for this other Bullfrog classic.
I have not heard of this FX thing. I may have to try it out. I always felt there was a lot more potential to this game that was never recognized. Maybe this will do a better job of it.
Has anyone done anything with Populous?

Seems like Google could just stop fighting uBlock and kick it off Chrome. But that’s going to cause more users to switch to Firefox.
I wonder if that happens whould Google then just punish Firefox users?. Potentially making YouTube a Chrome only site.

We can have these without the commercialism can’t we? Homemade decorations and costumes have more value and the act of making them with your family provides the time to talk about what these traditions are about.

Now what happens to a religion that is, for the most part, now separated from capitalism?
- Comment on [What if scenario] What if all commercial institutions suddenly decided they no longer intend to acknowledge religious events such as Christmas? 1 year ago:
I wouldn’t be shocked at protest over Walmart not selling 20foot glitter crusted crucifixes or whatever. But I think most know the difference between defiance of religious values and non-compliance. I’m for up north though so there’s a little less zeal.
Also shooting up a Walmart probably ain’t the best move. Folks there are likley armed to the teeth and itching to shoot back.
- Comment on [What if scenario] What if all commercial institutions suddenly decided they no longer intend to acknowledge religious events such as Christmas? 1 year ago:
I’d call that the shock period. But imagine that would be temporary and less bad then we think.
Eventually I’d hope for less stores that only open for the holiday season and only hire for the rush. Things could just spread out more and we’d all be less dependent in revenue created from one event. We could focus our buying power on useful things and less cheap plastic crap bought to appease old rituals.
All very optimistic and unrealistic thoughts though
- Comment on [What if scenario] What if all commercial institutions suddenly decided they no longer intend to acknowledge religious events such as Christmas? 1 year ago:
It pretty subjective I don’t know much about Thanksgiving as a Canadian we have we have a differnt one then the US. I never understood what ours was even about other then turkey. So if it’s religious then I honestly had no clue.
As many others have pointed out. If we strip all meaning of these events and just make the entirely commercial then it doesn’t much matter if they where intended as religious events or not.
With that in mind I wonder if separating the events from capitalism might actually empower them…

No worries. It was shocking relivent for a wrong post.

Also the complete lack of context to why I’d ask the question. I could be a writer, this could be some nefarious data scheme, or im just dumb and curious. Doesn’t really matter.
Really I’d just been watching somthing like Defunctland and hearing about cool ideas that failed because they where not profitable enough.
I wondered what if that happened to religion. What might that look like. How many people whould it take to stop giving a crap about Christmas for companies to just be like “yhea lets just not do that anymore”. And without Christmas would the rate of those engaged in Christianity just fall slowly? Whould that be all it takes?
Probably not. But figured I’ll get some alternative perspective.
- Comment on [What if scenario] What if all commercial institutions suddenly decided they no longer intend to acknowledge religious events such as Christmas? 1 year ago:
I mean that’s possible but whould they even need to? If one company had a “Christmas sale” and other had a “boxing week blowout” will folks even care, or will they just go to what place has the better deals?
