It’s also a double-edged sword. The moment a domesticated species isn’t useful enough for us, its numbers (and therefore genes) will decrease dramatically. Plenty of livestock populations may be reduced to a tiny size if artificial meat production becomes cheap enough, or if it’s decided to be a necessity to fight climate change.

Those working conditions aren’t even good for companies seeking long-term growth. If you want to produce 5 years long projects that are high quality enough to storm the market, you need people who stays healthy and doesn’t get burnt, which requires consistent long-term humane conditions, or else you’re destroying whatever talent you had in your hands and will end up with a mediocre product.

Capitalism already has enough problems on a vacuum, but its current dominant version of prioritizing profits in the next quarter over literally anything else is disastrous.

American exceptionalism was already cringe enough, but now they’re trying to extrapolate their own politics to everywhere else in the world? Holy shit they’re hopeless.

And that’s happened after East Germany was consistently fucked over ever since the reunification, leaving a chunk of the country extremely skeptical of mainstream political parties. Would there be people who would still be racist if East Germany had been treated fairly? Some would be, but it wouldn’t define the vote of most of them.

At some point I’m going to assume that half of Lemmy users are solipsists.

I’m not saying “Don’t vote Democrat if their candidate is Biden”, I’m saying “there’s a fuckton of low-information voters who are unlikely to vote for a guy who clearly displays Biden’s health issues”.

It’s not “either Biden or Trump”, just have the Democrats present Kamala or Buttigieg or whoever. Polls already point as alternatives to Biden as more likely to beat Trump, and chances are that Biden keeps screwing it up during the following months.

Ok, I’ll open another thread, then.

REMOVED, DUPLICATE.

Why isn’t the left as cool as the right pretends we are!?

Doms stay winning 😎

Looks like the Republican party has been taken over by the Taliban. You guys should invade their headquarters and bring them freedom.

The ruling party in Spain is socially progressive, so they’re shooting themselves on the foot with this one.

No one wants to tell the government they’re watching porn, especially in a Catholic country like Spain.

Spain is majority Catholic, but in terms of people having mostly secular lives, it’s very similar to France. If anything, religion has more weight in institutions in relation to its social significance than it should as a leftover from our fascist dictatorship from 50 years ago.

My condolences.

Any bets on how long until he makes it to Qatar?

The fact that the US protects their officials and soldiers from the weight of other countries’ law is disgraceful. Unfortunately, it will not change until its allies begin threatening them with kicking their bases out.

If someone being consistent with Labour’s values is too divisive to lead Labour, there can’t be Labour at all. I disagree with some of his stances, but what this man suffered wasn’t internal opposition, it was political assassination.

You know that a lot of cis people do defend trans rights, correct?

The Mongol warrior wants the peasant to hold his balls so that they don’t get dusty, and the peasant lets the balls get dusty anyway. The joke is the utter conformism of the peasant, willing to celebrate for a ridiculously small victory after the tragedy of his wife getting raped, when a real victory would have been cutting the warrior’s balls.

This reminds me of the Zizek’s perverted joke. NSFW warning, also somewhat distasteful:

My man was just self-medicating his migraines and his ADHD.
