I hate headlines like this. The population is increasing, no shit 'more people than ever before have XYZ.' That's because there's more people now overall. Use the percentage or ratios of different times so you don't look like you failed math.

I also bet there were less people starving to death 200 years ago. Because there were less people across the board you ignominious Muppets.

Fun rule of journalism, 'Betteridge's Law' : if a headline asks a question, the answer is almost always 'no'.

Edit: lmao even the writer mentions in the first line. I mean why even try to argue your point after that?

If you're spreading disinformation that benefits Russia, it doesn't even matter what your ideologies are. You're still spreading disinformation on behalf of Russia.

You can paint any moral picture you want, but that's the bottom line.

If everyone is calling you that here, maybe you should go back to truth social like the good little lap dog you are.

You can't say glip-glop! That's their word!

There's an episode of South Park where they go to the writing offices of Family Guy for whatever reason, and instead of actual writers, they have an aquarium tank full of manatees and plastic balls with words on them.

The manatees would bring the balls to the top of the tank, few at a time, and the staff would use the words on the balls as prompts for their new jokes/episodes.

The cordcutters subreddit was really nice, users constantly engaging in talks about better alternatives to cable/internet/streaming options.

The lemmy version is like an aquarium full of dead fish that nobody cares to clean out. The only 'poster' is a 'news' bot that just spams every article from cordcutters.com (most of which are just advertisements for deals/discounts).

At this point even ghost towns have more presence and/or engagement. If you block the 'news' bot, there's next-to-nothing there.

Man I think you nailed it masterfully. I would send this to a coworker with absolutely no regrets.

I mean, would you call this post 'content'? It's just low-effort, non-discussion-provoking, nothingness about a platform that nobody around here cares about anymore (except you apparently?)

"one political party in particular"

CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS. Don't sugarcoat it, CALL THEM OUT BY NAME. Otherwise they'll just pretend it's not them and do their damndest to act like they've done nothing wrong.

Even the ones who aren't actively protesting on behalf of the conservatives are still voting for conservatives, who end up making the claims that they can never produce sufficient evidence for.

Even more depressing when you think about how, overtime is extra money that they're losing by making you work.

At my job (pizza place, so maybe bad example), we have effectively only 2 night time managers, which means at the end of the week, whoever has the most hours goes home first, so that franchisee doesn't have to pay the extra money.

"so why not just close early if it costs owner too much to pay you?"

Well, because. Just because, that's all. Last time I cut orders at 5-or-10-to-close, the next day our owner (who I usually only see twice a year for MAYBE 20mins) came in and said I'd be fired if it happened again.

People with money don't give a single fraction of a flying freaky fuck about their employees. Unfortunately for me, I work in one of the (ten poorest) states in the US that enforces 'right-to-work' laws, which I recently learned, don't mean that you have the right to work, but instead means my employer is under no legal or contractual obligation to recognize, let alone pay Union fees.

Unionizing isn't illegal, but good luck finding anybody that will do anything pro-union in one of those places.

Imagine being young enough that your parents know what browser history is 😬

Inb4 "stfu millennial" or something? 🤔
