Gen X here, can confirm that’s a pretty accurate take

Balding Rapists Using Violence

Whatever, dude, have a good one

No it wasn’t. Overall points:

1. something is needed to radically halt US destruction of the world. I can’t think of anything which will achieve this short of a lost war. China is, afaik, the only potential enemy capable of inflicting this loss on the US.
2. i have no love but China (see my other comments in this thread), but objectively its existence has been less harmful to the rest of the world than that of the US.

Calling that a ‘tankie take’ is low effort shit which contributes nothing to the discussion. In any case, I’m pretty sure tankies are apologists for all the bad stuff China does, so not sure i fit into that category, babybus.

If that’s your takeaway, you’ve missed the point. Well done.

Haha, yes, i think so. Although it can’t be easy when it feels like the rest of the world (well, lemmy) is piling on to talk shit about your country

I’m not holding China up as some panacea, it’s very far from perfect (e.g. authoritarian security state, denial of Taiwanese independence, etc.), but i do think it does less net harm than the US. I would also suggest that the things we criticise China for are things which we would overlook in a country which was perceived as less of a threat to western dominance.

In any case, i was trying to say not that i want the US to be like China, but rather that i think the only way to prevent the US from killing us all is through a radical change of attitude, most likely caused by the loss of a major conflict.

I believe what dukeofdummies is saying, is that people with a financial cushion have fewer obstacles to acting on ethical principle, whereas your average person living pay check to pay check will be more cautious about whistleblowing because the consequences (loss of employment, vexatious lawsuits, blacklisting) will be felt more severely. Moreso if they have a family to support.

I consider myself to be ethical, but i live in a wage economy. If i see behaviour which needs to be reported, but i believe that the organisation/society will punish me for speaking out, i will wait until I’ve secured an alternative livelihood or am relatively safer before blowing the whistle.

Humanity is doomed because of America. Your anti-environmental capitalism and rapacious foreign policy have altered the world in an entirely negative way, and the only realistic scenario for the US to cut this shit out is by losing a war to a major competitor, such as China. China is hugely flawed itself, but is the less harmful option imo.

Whichever year i got broadband

Perfectly put, thank you

To absolutely nobody’s surprise

I think it’s because they use their position to professionalise a bullshit job, presenting it as a field (HR Management), when their skills are rather ordinary. Really, they should be doing payroll and employment admin, not setting the tone for the organisation or being seen as specialists in any meaningful way. Also, job competencies and profiles disproportionality reward the “skills” found in HR, which i think reflects their input in designing these tools and templates.

Further, i find people who work in this field to have quite a high opinion of themselves and their usefulness.

HR. Have never met anyone in HR who contributed to the good.

Racist? You might legitimately be the stupidest, and most presumptuous, person I’ve yet encountered. Seriously, fuck off back to Reddit, you utter cunt.

From my extensive experience in this area (true crime podcasts lol), if your hitman is either quoting a reasonable price or offering a payment plan, they’re a cop.

Unless you’re in South Africa, in which case you can legitimately walk in to a bar and hire a murderer for a very reasonable price.

Not a lawyer or an American, but procedurally, i would guess it’s too late to take his name off the ticket, so it would still be Trump and Vance, but with couch fucker being sworn if the Rs win. However, with the potent mixture of radicalisation, intellectual atrophy, and lead ingestion, you can’t take civil war off the table either.

I’m a huge fan of Small Town Murder. 2 comedians discussing a different murder (even the odd serial killer) each week.
