I think the new Reddit logo is hilarious. It looks like Snoo has a stubble. What’s up Snoo? drinking much?

camelCaseGuy@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Under Argentina’s New President, Fuel Is Up 60%, and Diaper Prices Have Doubled41·2 years agoWell… Actually, they are. They were poor money lenders, and gave money to the neighbourhood junkie, expecting he would not buy crack. It is Argentina’s fault to be in the position it is, but it’s also the money lenders’ to enable it.
camelCaseGuy@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Under Argentina’s New President, Fuel Is Up 60%, and Diaper Prices Have Doubled922·2 years agoYou, this was already happening and bound to happen with or without Milei. The difference is that, while Milei’s approach is to deregulate the economy, Kirchnerism/Peronism’s way was to hide the head underground and pretend it never happened.
At least now there’s a plan to do it.
I mean, I love ska. But a whole eternity of it? It’s just way too much.

That looks that it came straight out from the History of Torture Museum.
camelCaseGuy@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Mom fired as sex-ed teacher after being exposed as convicted prostitute, working escort51·2 years agoI do expect that. I expect teachers to be very well compensated. You are talking about educating future generations and the sustainability of the country. Not about selling microwaves (nothing against it, it’s just that I consider teachers to be as important to society as firefighters and healthcare workers).

camelCaseGuy@lemmy.worldto A Boring Dystopia@lemmy.world•Imagine voting for someone that wants to get rid of the department of education.11·2 years agoYou’ve got to understand that politics are never so straightforward. Bolsonaro’s premise might have been one, but the execution might have been another.
So has come to pass with many presidents in Argentina, promising to solve the issues, and making them worse.
Not everyone might like Milei, but the truth is that he was the lesser evil, and by a long margin.

camelCaseGuy@lemmy.worldto A Boring Dystopia@lemmy.world•Imagine voting for someone that wants to get rid of the department of education.710·2 years agoAs an Argentinian living abroad and having left the country for how unbearable it was, I can tell you it’s true. I’m not saying some of those things aren’t important, but Argentina’s Government is like a crackhead. You give it some money and expenditure capabilities, and the next thing you know is at the shadiest dealer, buying as much of the worst stuff.
You need to cut the vicious cycle somewhere. Unfortunately for Argentina, that place is Welfare State.

camelCaseGuy@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•‘Bad and dangerous’: Argentina’s Trump on track to become presidentEnglish21·2 years agoYes, by Argentinian standards. That is not much, taking into account the left bias that Argentinian politics have at the moment. By most standards, Juntos por el Cambio are a social-democrat solution. That is pretty much left in most countries.
- Yes dad! I’m a sissy removed, and I like to watch man like me getting steamrolled by big black hunks!
- I came to ask you if you wanted a slice of pizza… but okay.
camelCaseGuy@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•UttarPradesh: Couple Die By Suicide After Wife Gangraped By 2 Men In Front Of Husband ,Accused Arrested5·2 years agoHave a big population, season it abundantly with poverty and low social mobility, add a dash of ignorance and low education, et voilà! A magic cauldron where this and other horrific shit happen on a daily basis (if not hourly).
camelCaseGuy@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Respect isn't earned. You receive the amount of respect you give.5·2 years agoWhat about the respect given to an individual because of its status in society? There are certain people that have a base level of respect because of their seniority, job or role during a period of time.
Those people may or may not show the same amount of respect towards others as is shown to them in general. And I dare say, there will be people willing to defend them even if they are not up to expectations, just because they have that seniority/job/role.
Take for instance:
- Some politicians
- Some celebrities
- Some senior members of an organisation, like CEOs, CTOs, senior managers, etc.
I don’t understand that point of view? Why would they pay their CEOs less than any other company? If they did, then they would either not be able to hire CEOs, have the shittiest CEOs or have CEOs that wouldn’t give a crap. People don’t live on welfare, especially highly connected, highly educated people like CEOs.
