turtlesareneat@discuss.onlineto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Wages are stagnant and cost of living is ridiculous. Are we headed for a crash? English6·3 days agoAmerica doesn’t do free market capitalism it does late stage capitalism, where profits do in fact need to be record high every quarter, even if that means people are gonna die (like 10m people becoming uninsured, plus us borrowing a bunch of money from China, so we can give more to the billionaires that own us and don’t need it).

And that's hurting the feelings of a lot of Twitter users.English9·3 days agoPublic health - for every $3 you spend on infectious disease prevention, you save $100 - HIV but also so many diseases that are beginning to run rampant again. We have thrown away one of the greatest achievements of mankind in history.
turtlesareneat@discuss.onlineto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Does people doing things that upset others also upset you?English13·5 days agoLast year on the 4th, I was walking home from the big fireworks show, and I saw a teenager on a scooter, who was briefly crouching down and not being safe. But he came up beside a lady and surprised her, and she swatted at him and tried to push him over, which would have crashed him into several people walking. More than just a startle response, and the kid stopped, looked back, angry - but he was a black teenager and there’s this white lady and her beefy white boyfriend/husband staring him back, so he turns and disappears back into the crowd.
And I’m instantly furious.
“That’s assault,” I told her.
“Mind your own fucking business” she says. Several other people are watching.
Thankfully my husband and her husband pulled us in different directions and the crowd separated us.
But I was so fucking angry, and that lady looked like she had started a fight or three in her life. Her boyfriend looked like he wasn’t happy to be there in that moment.
So yes, but it has to be something serious.

Things change as we learn. Why we don’t use lead in our pipes anymore. Safe, biocompatible plastic only.
turtlesareneat@discuss.onlineto politics @lemmy.world•More than half of Americans - and 83% of Democrats - say ICE has gone ‘too far’ in arresting migrants: pollEnglish91·9 days agoMore than just grift… this is the new militant wing of MAGA. They’re a new branch of armed forces that operate entirely on our soil. We’ve got concentration camps opening, we’ve got a MASSIVELY funded brown-shirts, and dark tech civilian-profiling AI behind all that… This is pretty much my worst fears from last November coming to life.
turtlesareneat@discuss.onlinetoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•The great millennial garbage gyreEnglish27·9 days agoI run a social club for gay men, and we’ve talked about coming up with an app that’s run by a non-profit, with social workers on the board, that’s designed to actually connect people, not keep them glued to the app. Friendship, dates, activity partners, whatever.
I don’t know why no one has come up with the non-profit model here but if I can get enough steam, we’re doing it.
turtlesareneat@discuss.onlineto Technology@lemmy.world•Men are opening up about mental health to AI instead of humansEnglish7815·12 days agoThere are other causes here.
They’ve been talking for a while about how the low participation in dating by Gen Z women is because they’re tired of being the entire support system for men experiencing a loneliness epidemic.
It’s a lot of pressure for the women to be under, and so they’re withdrawing.
I’m guessing this is one of the driving forces as well. Lack of real, emotionally intimate human connections around them. Many men are quite fucked in that regard right now.

English5·12 days agoThere are only a few outcomes that would lead down that road, and while I hope for one of them, I am pretty convinced they’ll all die happy and rich in their warm beds of old age after getting lots of plastic surgery and riding on lots of jets and jetskis

Problem is you can’t actually give people a choice, just the illusion.

Then parking them in front of a trailer park or shittiest house you can imagine, with kids playing in the dirt around it.
