I heard this years ago and it stuck in my brain: Everyone wants to be the last immigrant.
Turns out latinos can be just as short-sighted and selfish as everyone else, because there is no actual difference between humans that look different, despite the hundreds of years of propaganda to the contrary.
Yeah. Really weird pattern of behavior there.
What do you call alternative medicine that has been proven to work?
medicine
shame
thanks! another user just googled it better than me
Yeah, it was posted on lemmy somewhere and I dont remember where exactly, trying to see if anyone has tips on finding it
I have a vague notion they were mentioned in the federalist papers.
It would be useful to have a list of the missing books for reasons.
I’ll see if i can find it.
CEO probably doesn’t know what that A in AOSP stands for
“We won’t speculate on the cause of death, but the incident itself does not appear to be work-related.”
I think thats enough for me today. It would be funny if it wasn’t so sad.
For what?
Is there a way to see this without going to twitter?
Remake movies that had good ideas and poor execution, or visa versa. Don’t bother remaking movies that are already good.
I just watched Highlander a few weeks ago and I think this one qualifies as good idea, poor execution. The one scottish person on the cast played a spaniard, and it’s not just some scottish dude. Why didn’t they make the main character a frenchman?! He doesnt even use a scottish sword!
They would probably shut it down after 2 years. Sooner if it was any good.
If you look at our history, there has always been a sort of club where those involved in wrongdoing end up being shielded from real accountability. There are no other examples of a president being criminally prosecuted for anything.
People say that is because the founders never imagined that a criminal would be elected president, but given the lack of mention of slavery until the 13th amendment I have a feeling that’s not quite the case.

also consider that the people criticizing one thing or the other are not necessarily the same individuals.
What injustice? Reddit is “their” website and they can do what they want with it, we have always only been allowed to use it for their enrichment. The farmer is always very nice to his animals until its time to cash out.
Lemmy is hopefully the fix, in that it doesnt need to turn a profit, and we’re not locked in.
As the child of immigrants, I can tell you that running off and living your life is absolutely a viable strategy, and I’ve spent my whole life trying to underssand what happened so that the same thing doesn’t happen to my family again.
All that said, it is a website. The planet is broiling around us and the people responsible are not just free, but living like kings.
Universal literacy was supposed to educate the common man to control his environment. Once he could read and write he would have a mind fit to rule. So ran the democratic doctrine. But instead of a mind, universal literacy has given him rubber stamps, rubber stamps inked with advertising slogans, with editorials, with published scientific data, with the trivialities of the tabloids and the platitudes of history, but quite innocent of original thought. Each man's rubber stamps are the duplicates of millions of others, so that when those millions are exposed to the same stimuli, all receive identical imprints. It may seem an exaggeration to say that the American public gets most of its ideas in this wholesale fashion. The mechanism by which ideas are disseminated on a large scale is propaganda, in the broad sense of an organized effort to spread a particular belief or doctrine.
