No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What happens if someone refuses to work in a socialist economy?English
4·7 days agoThat isn’t how socialism works. Socialism means that the workers control the means of production. It typically also means that necessary services such as healthcare are not run for corporate profit. Such government also typically give assistance to people who need it, rather than acting as if human life is worthless if it isn’t making capitalist profits for the owner class. In your case, if you were refusing to get education, employment, and contribute to society for whatever reason, that could be seen as some sort of psychological issue and most likely you would receive counseling. If you’re unable to work due to that, you may have assisted housing and a small stipend. But do you get like, a car? Luxury food? Vacations? No, because there is not a situation under socialism where “everything is free”. The bare necessities of life are supplied by the government, because that is, for one, smarter and more efficient than the American system where we do things like let preventable health conditions fester for years while people suffer and become untreatable rather than just giving them preventative care in the first place, which would save the entire society tons of money and increase overall productivity.

9·7 days agoIt sounds to me like a troll sort of thing, like how conservatives in the US frequently say that liberals and leftists “just want everything for free“.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Do you ever get the feeling of zooming out of your phone into your head and actually realizing everything, instead of just mindlessly watching videos?English
11·11 days agoLike, being self aware? Yes, that happens to me sometimes.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Should MAGA have separate bathrooms so they can't be around women and children?English
501·24 days agoWith all their projection and proven propensities to being predatory, yes. MAGA aligned individuals should be wearing red stars on their sleeves so we can pick them out and avoid them.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What hill are you willing to die on even if no one in your life agrees with you?English
3·1 month agoNo, those are the super rich. Say I’m battling some powers on a local level. I have a net worth of $120k and an income of $45k a year. They have a $3 million ranch, net worth of $15 million, basically own the local sheriff and town council. But they’re not “rich” because there’s someone elsewhere with more money than them?

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What hill are you willing to die on even if no one in your life agrees with you?English
21·1 month agoIt’s just a matter of degree. Sure, we could take someone who has a net worth of $30 million and say well, that’s nothing, some people have 30 billion. People who are paying over $300 a month for a gym membership have a lot more money than people who are trying to afford $25 a month.

81·1 month agoI checked out the gym near me, lifetime, who charge $330 a month. They have a heated Olympic size swimming pool outdoors year-round, in a climate that gets a fair amount of snow in the winter. So that’s what rich people do with our resources.
As far as water, yeah. Even in very arid places, it’s permitted to do agriculture to grow things like hay and use 80% of the local water supply. Even better, there’s a trend in the US where people from places like Saudi Arabia grow the hay, use our water, and then export it.

141·1 month agoI hate doing dishes like that anyway. I just scrub them one at a time under running water after letting them soak in whatever water can fill in. I don’t really think of the sink as a sanitary item regardless of how much you clean it. The drain is always going to be gross.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are your Lemmy upvoting/downvoting habits? How do you judge posts/comments?English
2·1 month agoTypically, I up vote if someone makes a good point or a good joke. If they’re being jerks or being misleading, i down vote it. Of course, jerk can be subjective. I try not to make it about opinion, but realistically, something like “Trump bro“ is being a jerk

49·1 month agoThe US speaker of the house Mike Johnson has mentioned many times how he and his son monitor each other’s masturbation habits through an app

The one with the two people is similar to Corporate Memphis, aka Alegria Art. It’s a style frequently abused by companies like Google.
