That’s exactly it. Billions or a dictator are the only qualifications to get you a seat at the table. If you don’t have one of those, fight, flight, fawn or freeze.

When are the millionaires going to get pissed off enough to do something legally or did they just move to another country?

I believe karma exists, but it’s decided by each person for themselves. If you have guilt about something, you’ll find a way to punish yourself or surround yourself with people who will. If you’re a narcissist and/or are too stupid to have guilt, you will seem to get off with no repercussions. In the end though, the people with no guilt, also can’t feel. Life tastes pretty bland, so that’s a punishment in itself.
TL/DR: Make peace with person/people/yourself on things you feel guilt about.

It’s the sweet and tart, just like some olives.

Technically you’re correct, but it implies that it was Roman in a quickly read headline.

There was a study done (can’t find it anymore) that said to respond once to clarify and then walk away.

While it’s moving?

I think he’s trapped in that he couldn’t get out of a moving vehicle. Also, it might not let him out for “safety” issues.

Ebay sucks though too, they’ll steal your money. I will only use them as a last resort as well. I try to go directly to the manufacturer’s site to get around these big ones.

I know poor and wealthy people in every generation. Why aren’t we blaming the banks for the 08 crash, the politicians for taking away almost every social service and trying to take away more, and the psychopath CEOs who care about their dick measuring contests every quarter? This generational divide obscures the real issues.

This is a comment I had in another thread. I think it applies here as well.
First of all, it’s not your fault. There already is a lot of people on Lemmy trying to blame ourselves for what happened while the R’s are legally cheating every which way you turn. We probably don’t even know the half of it. It’s not our fault, the end. If you voted for Harris, you did well.
Also, stop looking at the big picture and take care of your family and friends while sticking together. Us being in distress is good for them to make democracy end that much easier. Take care of yourself and family, the government will not. I mean it, support each other.
If people are being shitty and wanting us to fight inwards, ignore it, downvote it, and move on. Don’t fall for the trap.
Accept that half of our voting population doesn’t care about anyone but themselves. Those people, just ignore them. Let them whine and cry when they get shit on too. Keep all of that energy for yourself and the people who you need to support and protect.
You’re going to have to consider this a hostile takeover from the far-right, white nationalists, *billionaires, Russia and China. Buckle up.

- Comment on Don't Engage with Trolls 3 months ago:
Thanks, I didn’t realize that worked here. But I meant tagging a user as awesome or a troll or whatever. That way, when you kind of remember seeing the name and they seem like they’re trolling, I can tell right away if I’ve had previous interactions with them. RES was awesome for that.
- Comment on Don't Engage with Trolls 3 months ago:
That was years ago. I’m sure I saved it on reddit, but I haven’t been back there since I switched. Sorry about that. It was a real study though, they were trying to figure out all of he social media trolling from Cambridge Analytica and all that. It might have been even earlier.
- Comment on Don't Engage with Trolls 3 months ago:
Yes, that and the tagging of users.

They did a study around the 2020 elections and have found the following to work with trolls:
Respond once with the facts (if you must), and then walk away. I have found Lemmy not needing that most of the time, just downvoting seems to work. But if you’re on the place that shall not be named, this works.

There was a family that lived next to my parents that lost their house in the 08 crash because they were sold a shitty loan. They were the sweetest people. I happened to be visiting when they had a huge blowout family party on their last day there. I was hoping it was using the money that was supposed to go to the banks. They were the epitome of what I think the original intent was of that saying. The world sucks, fr, but you have to live anyway. It’s not toxic positivity if you live it. That’s my take anyway.

As detailed in the complaint, the defendants’ alleged scheme has three main components. First, an agreement to fix the price of peer review services at zero that includes an agreement to coerce scholars into providing their labor for nothing by expressly linking their unpaid labor with their ability to get their manuscripts published in the defendants’ preeminent journals.
Second, the publisher defendants agreed not to compete with each other for manuscripts by requiring scholars to submit their manuscripts to only one journal at a time, which substantially reduces competition by removing incentives to review manuscripts promptly and publish meritorious research quickly.
Third, the publisher defendants agreed to prohibit scholars from freely sharing the scientific advancements described in submitted manuscripts while those manuscripts are under peer review, a process that often takes over a year. As the complaint notes, “From the moment scholars submit manuscripts for publication, the Publisher Defendants behave as though the scientific advancements set forth in the manuscripts are their property, to be shared only if the Publisher Defendant grants permission. Moreover, when the Publisher
