So…

It’s almost a year old, people keep talking about 4chan, and the top posts of “all time” are homophobic and low-key racist…

Why would normal people go there instead of Lemmy? And why would homophobic racists go there instead of 4chan?

It’s not money, cuz everything being done with in a product blows.

It’s about money, because the people making the shit products want to make money, not good products.

Capitalism always leads to “how shitty of a product will people still buy”

“I do shoot myself in the foot from time to time, but at least you know it is genuine, not from the PR department,” he admitted.

He’s been brainwashed by his fans if he thinks that somehow makes it better.

Like, authenticy is good for good things, but it makes shitty things even shittier. It’s not a value that’s always good in every context. And the worst thing he could be doing is doubling down on his opinions and policy.

If he left the company is the only way this would help, he wouldn’t even be a fall guy because most of this is entirely his fault

They don’t have a real job…

According to the disclosures, the terminated employees worked in Wells Fargo’s wealth- and investment-management unit.

Time and time again, these funds don’t really beat the average of an index fund.

But the Uber wealthy dont like being lumped together with regular people. So they pay commissions to get the same performance, resulting in less profits than an ind x when it’s all said and done.

But the company points to the small parts that do over perform, and downplays the bad parts.

Turn 1 million into 5 million, and it’s easy to forget there was another 10 million that’s worth 6 million now.

Sure you up a million, but you’re focused on that 5x gain and not the 4 million loss. So before commissions it’s a draw.

In real life there’s interest, inflation, and lots of other stuff that muddies the waters.

It’s like their version of horse racing, they bet on a bunch and hope one hits it big and pays off the losses on the others. It’s the same as gambling and just as addictive.

So if these employees were answering their phone when a big client calls and letting stuff sit, their performance was probably fine.

Because it’s not a real job.

To be clear this isn’t official results, this is what musk is projecting.

But the only think the big holders care about is their return rates. And they know Tesla is waaaaaaay overvalued. It’s all based on hype.

So would Tesla be a better company free of musk?

Undoubtedly.

But they don’t care about that. Musk hype drove the stock price up, no real company would be so overvalued. Without continued hype, the price goes down, which might cause a run on the stock and might end the company.

musk is Tesla. And it’s why the company will be nothing but hype. Doesn’t matter if the company loses money as long as stock price keeps going up.

Making quality vehicles isnt their business model, it’s keeping the stock price up.

This paper explores a hypothesis concerning Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), and follows another by the same first author focusing on a related hypothesis recently published in the Journal of Transpersonal Psychology (Lomas, 2023a). Essentially, the discourse around UAP is dominated by two main classes of explanation: a conventional terrestrial origin (e.g., human technology), or an extraterrestrial origin (i.e., advanced civilizations arriving from elsewhere). However, such is the strange nature of many UAP that observers close to the topic have been compelled to consider a more unconventional set of theories known collectively as the “ultraterrestrial” hypothesis. This denotes a broad category of conjecture centred around the possibility that UAP may involve forms of non-human intelligence (NHI) that are already present in Earth’s environment in some sense, which Puthoff (2022) describes as “sequestered terrestrial cultures… existing alongside us in distinct stealth.” One is an “interdimensional” hypothesis, which was the focus of the previous paper; this suggests UAP may involve beings from dimensions that coexist alongside the four dimensions of spacetime we usually perceive, and/or that UAP occupants are “extratempestrial,” traveling through the fourth dimension to visit different periods of Earth’s history, which may involve our descendants returning to study their own hominin evolutionary past (Masters, 2019, 2022).

Statistically speaking, this is more likely than aliens…

This is just also incredibly unlikely.

Like if I lost a pen in a study room, and all my friends said they didn’t take it…

A ghost would be outside a reasonable explanation, but a drugged up monkey that escaped into the schools air vents also sounds unlikely, but is at least plausible.

I mean, what kind of Dean runs a community college with monkeys living in air vents?

You can move your home instance where you log in? Explain how.

I mean. Since you asked so politely…

You can export your settings in a .json file, then create a new account on a new instance an import your settings.

But like, you need to try and be better when you’re asking people for help.

You should read the sidebar’s at least, they’re heavily biased, but upfront about it.

It’s been their safe space longer than most other instances have been around. It’s also a good idea to look at modlogs when coming across a new sub/instance.

Not everything shows up there though. Like if someone is banned and has all their content removed, it won’t all show up in the log. But when individual comments are removed, it’ll show you what was said.

Don’t just assume everyone online will be upfront about their biases

Ok?

So if you disagree with their policy enough, you can change instances.

Or you can stay, and build up those alternative communities instead of asking people to do it for you.

Like, the logic behind this isn’t difficult, and I thought you’d be able to grasp it.

That’s why I bothered to reply, instead of just blocking you. Same chance I gave some of the lemmy.ml subs before blocking their instance.

You’re handling it about as well

Where has LW announced that they would be defederating?

People kept saying it one of the recent daily threads people have been making.

Which is what they are trying to achieve by promoting those communities in this post?

You think posting repetitively here is the same as:

If you want to build up alternatives, post and comment so they’re more active.

How does that make sense?

But if you want to move discussion off their communities make posts in those alternatives. That would actually do something.

These posts are Susan G Kommen levels of difference making…

We getting one of these a day now?

If you don’t like it, petition your admins (via posts on your own instance) to defed.

If they don’t want to, find a new instance that does, or stay and block their instance so you don’t see their subs.

If you want to build up alternatives, post and comment so they’re more active.

I just don’t see the point of these posts when most Lemmy users have been around for a while and know what lemmy.ml is like by now.

Be the change you want to see, post in those communities yourself instead of these daily announcements threads on an instance that’s already defederating apparently

Bruh, you need to not speculate on things you have no idea about

But clearly you don’t care about what actually happened, so I’ll stop trying to explain basic shit to you now.

You think the nuclear bombs were a genocide?

Seriously, who “taught” you this stuff?

I am genuinely curious where people presented all of this stuff you’re saying as history.

Like, it’s almost like the only thing you know about civilian deaths in WW2 was American dropped nukes.

There’s sooooo much that you’re missing. But unless you dropped out of school at a very young age, I can’t be the first person that tries to explain this to you

So where are your opinions coming from?

Is this a thing where you learned everything you know about a subject from YouTube videos?

If so…

Why?

And even after the nuclear bombs, there was an attempted coup to stop surrender.

Prior to the bombs, there was no chance of surrender.

That is history.

If you think there was anyway they’d have surrendered without nukes then yes, I will agree that you are “not an expert”.

For fucks sake, after the nukes there was still an attempted coup to prevent surrender…

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyūjō_incident

People thay think Japan surrendered because of loss of life, have no idea what they’re talking about about.

Japan surrendered because they thought America had more nukes, and if they kept fighting then Japan would be left uninhabitable for centuries due to atomic contamination.

The people who tried the coup, did so because they thought America didn’t have more nukes.

They weren’t stupid,

They weren’t, but honor was/is huge in their culture, and Japan was an empire for thousands of years.

They’d have fought to the last Japanese civilian was alive

They surrendered, and I know I’m repeating myself, because they thought their islands would be literally wiped off the face of the planet.

Anything less wouldn’t have won the war and cost more lives on both sides.

Even as a trolly problem, it’s not a tough call on if nukes saved lives.

I suggest you learn about history before you form opinions on what happened

Japan was already surrendering

Who told you something that ridiculous?

I got a ban for pointing out the nuclear strikes on Japan killed less than the conventional firebombing runs leading up to it, and if nukes wouldn’t have been used a shit ton more people would have died.

Like, no opinion on if what was morally right or not, just what the numbers worked out.

It’s all trolls over there, when a rational person makes a community, the admins start drama there and troll the mods till they leave or get kicked out for stupid shit.

I just blocked the whole instance. I never see any of their posts now, and as an unintended bonus I don’t even get notifications when their users reply to my comments.

Like, it would be best if we defederated from them and that hilariouschaos troll instance.

But I can just block them, works the same.

Hamad discovered that the video, which was taken by Palestinian photojournalist Motaz Azaiza, was misclassified as pornographic. He said he received conflicting guidance on whether he was authorized to help resolve the issue but was eventually told in writing that helping troubleshoot it was part of his tasks. A month later, though, Hamad was reportedly notified that he was the subject of an investigation. He filed an internal discrimination complaint in response, but he was fired days later and was told that it was because he violated a policy that prohibits employees from working on issues involving accounts of people they personally know. Hamad, who is Palestinian-American, has denied that he personally knew Azaiza.

Simple:

Three billion human lives ended on August 29, 1997. The survivors of the nuclear fire called the war Judgment Day. They lived only to face a new nightmare, a war against the machines. The computer which controlled the machines, Skynet, sent two terminators back through time. Their mission: to destroy the leader of the human Resistance. John Connor; my son. The first terminator was programmed to strike at me, in the year 1984, before John was born. It failed. The second was sent to strike at John himself, when he was still a child. As before, the Resistance was able to send a lone warrior. A protector for John. It was just a question of which one of them would reach him first.

There’s been a couple reboots tho
