Don’t know about you, but preteen me wouldn’t be very impressed by an adult saying something as vague as “it can be dangerous”. We understand the danger and even then fall victim to it in some way or other, how can we expect a child to navigate that landscape of insecurities and marketing in any healthy way.
The answer is we can’t and we’re all suckers for letting predatory marketing techniques such as influencers and highly targeted ads run rampant in our daily lives.
Exactly, that’s what the little bin next to the toilet is for.
Literally did this 10 hours ago using this guide: https://lemmy.world/post/857701. You need an earlier version apk than APKpure has though (19.16.39). I was surprised with how easy it is tbh. Just had to find a decent site to get that particular apk from but that’s a simple Google search away.
You’re right there. It’s got fuck all to do with politics and everything to do with squeezing as much money out of their run on this planet. Also the reason they won’t take certain political positions but easily do so when it might lead to more profits.
Well, actually, exceptions can be important to lend blanket statements some nuance. Wait, I’m doing it right now, aren’t I?
To me, an ignorant person who has only begun to seriously question capitalism after being exposed to lemmy for about a year, this visual analogy seems to imply that capitalism and fascism are thought to be distinct in the eyes of the maker of this meme, though. I think the suggestion of having them both be homelander conveys a different message which seems to be the consensus here: they are different sides of the same coin.
Admittedly, I’m out of my element here but I’m enjoying the exposure.
It goes both ways though. Kyle should also know his friend wouldn’t be happy about potentially losing his career over calls to murder a person for political reasons.
Disclaimer: I fucking hate Trump and wish he was killed years ago so I’m not saying I disagree with what Kyle said, I’m just disagreeing with when he chose to express it because he was there representing tenacious D which extends to jack as well. I’ll also add that at this point I worry that killing Trump now would only replace him with someone actually competent to drive the fascism train over the tracks that are already firmly in place, but that’s a different discussion.
All they’re saying is that water treatment costs money. Not that you should buy nestle stolen and bottled water…
Right up until the house of cards topples over, the country is in shambles and people start seeking justice, of course.
So, nobody got paid to make that.
I work in microbiology and only recently learned it’s actually a fungus.
Disclaimer: I’m sure I’ve learned about it in the parasitology classes I’ve had but that was 15 years ago and since then I’ve been in bacteriology and sequencing.
I ragequit the puzzles on the rockstar captcha. Incredibly infuriating. I was reminded of the famous greentext from way back predicting we’d have to drink a verification can of mountain dew and for a moment that seemed less insane than the reality of these impossible puzzles. Had to get someone to help me solve them after cooling off for a moment.
Same thing goes for the second part. It’s a roundabout way to block federal representation of certain groups of people. This is why automatically being blocked to vote because of a conviction shouldn’t be a thing. As you say that would (and does) lead to a clusterfuck.
It’s international but every nation would obviously use their own flag. It’s a practice that dates back to the times before the USA was even a nation.
I was thinking the same, it’s not aiming at any gender as far as I can tell. I took it as a wink at the “men always want sex, no exceptions” stereotype/gender norm. But, I’m a man and all that proves is that the slogan is vague enough that each reader will have their own personal interpretation of it’s exact meaning based on their own experience.
In that sense it is indeed a terrible slogan if only for the fact that it seems to elicit a negative, but highly personalised, meaning for everyone. The exact opposite of what you hope to achieve with a slogan.
What happened in those years and why were they omitted? It’s odd that they just leave it out with (as far as I could tell from the linked source) no explanation for that.
I literally ragequit that captcha. Mine was showing floor plans and grainy “pictures” of a room asking me to pick which floor plan matched the picture from that perspective. I swear to you, none of them actually matched, progress reset constantly because I’d invariably pick the wrong one. It provoked such a primal rage in me, it felt like I was being gaslit into believing I was wrong when actually that captcha was cursed to hell and back. Thankfully my very patient partner managed to get through them for me and I only had to do it once to get the launcher to recognise my new pc.
