You just gotta remember that they’re proportional to population. 1000 upvotes on a larger community may be equivalent to 25 on a small one.
Also on Lemmy upvotes don’t accumulate on your account like they do on reddit so they don’t mean dick in the long run.

Even beyond this, the person of the year isn’t an accolade or appraisal; it’s supposed to be the person who influenced the world by the largest margin in a given year. Trump’s a rapist piece of shit but there’s no doubting his name has probably been used more often than Smith in the last 12 months.
I don’t get it? It couldn’t have been Luigi. He was busy working at a Jay St. Videogames all day.
I think it was google that fucked it up. The newest (as of a long time back) version of Android broke it and I had to install a separate app to get ACR working again. And it never recorded their end properly unless I was on speaker or their side was somehow audible through my mic. So stupid.
IIRC Obama lifted it and Trump reinstated it. I could be misconstruing things though.
You know you’re right. He was only worth 43 million dollars. I’d say we can revise the rule to somewhere in that area. Maybe take some points off for being a CEO of a health insurance company.
People always forget the second part of that rule.
We shouldn’t celebrate the death or suffering of other human beings… Unless that human being is a billionaire.
Don’t like people celebrating your suffering? Give up your wealth. Easy as.
Let me be the first to decry this senseless killing. Senseless killing of thousands of people in the name of profit. Also some loser got iced too I guess.
So we’re the thousands who died due to his greed. I’ll try to remember to shed a tear for him after all the rest.

It would be if it wasn’t extremely well documented.
It’s definitely not impossible that communist regimes would consolidate into dictatorships on their own but if it was a guaranteed thing then the CIA wouldn’t have spent so much time and effort making it happen.
Ummmm Prometheus was actually a Titan 🤓
Jokes aside Prometheus was the realest cunt. Talk about taking one for the team.
This is why the word “reasonable” comes up in a lot of laws. “What counts as reasonable?” You ask? This is what judges are for; to examine the circumstances and make a judgement call.
I was taught it stood for Universal Time Coordinate and I refuse to believe anything else.
Enforcing that would take a lot more money than a padlock.
A better idea would be to charge businesses for the downstream costs of externalities like waste. Make them self-enforce by making it more expensive to dump recyclable or reusable materials.
Journalistic malpractice
Yeah in the experiment that is often referenced; the frogs had to be lobotomised to stop them just jumping out of the pot whenever they felt like it.
I mean was there any doubt that what happened to the CEO was murder? Like whether or not it was justified it still was murder. I’m not shedding a tear for it though, too busy reflecting on the thousands dead from his denial of healthcare.
The issue I take is that when we abstract murder by a few degrees then we just call it business. The CEO can sign a form that will result in the deaths of 1500 people and it’s fine but you hire a hitman and you’re guilty. At what point is the line drawn?
If I construct a rube goldberg machine that results in a gun being fired then am I responsible? What if that machine drops a pachinko puck that results in the gun being fired 50% of the time? What if I muck about with someone’s food and increase their risk of cancer by 4%?
This is a genuine question I’d love an answer to.
