    You’re only allowed to have post-nut clarity in capitalism if you have earned a lot or better yet once you have a stable passive income. Otherwise, it’s money-horney talking in you.

    And most of the days that’s what lemmy sounds like “I never had sex, this attractive guy has slept with too many girls, we gotta make sure there’s an equal distribution of girls among all of us”.

    We can still talk about how that situation is unfair, but you’ll never convince me that you’re neither jealous nor horny.







  • As everywhere on lemmy it will be “oh no, only the rich will get it”.

    Yes, as with every new treatment. But also, once it’s ironed out, it will become available to everyone.

    No, communism won’t solve the scarcity problem of a newly developed treatment, although it would imply a different distribution mechanism. And if socialist/communist society isn’t a perfect utopia you somehow imagine we could transition to tomorrow, you’d see a distribution mechanism for those novel treatments to be unfair in other ways.

    So, here’s what we have: money is being invested into novel treatment research, it’s initially only affordable to the rich, then to those who’re willing to sell their house for it, then to those with a private insurance, and then, eventually, to everyone.

    It’s not a perfect system, but it’s a system that gets us all better healthcare every year.

    So, ask yourself if maybe every one one of your comments always boils down to “I wish we lived in a communist utopia”. Cuz, you know, I’m actually with you, but I don’t see this running in circles being useful. And, for your default country, I also hardly see a way there through a democratic process.


  • Well, another W for you.

    Although, coffee is much less harmful than nicotine, and its consumption doesn’t have other negative health effects that arise from inhaling toxic smoke.

    At the same time there are clear benefits of coffee usage. So, depending on the perspective, addiction and overconsumption aside, you could consider coffe to be a net positive. Thus, from my point of view, it’s your loss, mate. Hopefully you still get something done in the morning. If only we knew what you’d be capable of if properly coffeinated.






  • The f are you on about? YouTube has a fairly affordable ad-free tier with a transparent revenue-share model that multiple top content creators have openly endorsed.

    This ad infested hell only exists because most of the internet users think it’s outrageous to pay 10$/month for an all-you-can-eat VoD service. Some top creators did branch out to create their own streaming services, and spoiler alert, it’s more expensive, or just as expensive but with muuuuch less content.

    I do care if all that YT content is gone. It’s a fuckin goldmine.

    I’d really wish they actually had the audacity to just paywall the entire platform. Pay or fuck off, no ads.

    And then people like you can go back to the good old days of some other random free video hosting service where a 360p video with a cat meme was buffering for a minute on a good day, or was completely unavailable on a bad one.
