If a separate industry to you gets ruined and you see the immediate effect as “i can get those products or services now”, you perceive it as a victory.

It’s the horrible, competition nature of how we live these days.

No community, only competitors.

Apparently they don’t tell you because then you could sue them over it.

So they give a generic reason that doesn’t really have any metrics. The problem is that it’s useless as feedback.

Everyone in your neighbourhood has a bigger vegetable garden than you, and grows the same vegetables as you (if they were different vegetables, they might want those)?

Also they also harvest in the same two week window as you?

Because if it’s outside that window, then everyone can spread the love on their own harvest week.

“More effort” isn’t “didn’t come for him”

Think about how much airtime national news outlets have been giving to El Sayed being friends with Hasan Piker, vs those dumb placards that Nepo baby running against Mamdani had (i forget the name).

Probably tens of millions of dollars in just anchor-person salary spent on talking nonsense on El Sayed and his ethnicity, vs making a poster with skin and beard darkening (of Zohran).

Honestly i thought they’d just be waiting, sharpening their knives so they could just tie up everything he tried to do as Mayor and then use him as an example of the failures of socialism.

But yeah all quiet on that front so far.

Maybe that’s when to feed your neighbours.

Ours just gave us a load of tomatoes and aubergine. Lovely.

If we’d had more than 6 strawberries we’d probably have shared too lol.

I get it, but i honestly think that a big reason the establishment didn’t come at him harder was that he wasn’t a threat to most establishment careers.

If he’d have been US-born, i think they’d have put more effort into coming for his reputation.

“Do you want the good news or the bad news first?”

“The good news”

“We’re going to name the disease after you”

The only way to fix this is to have us upload our IDs online constantly, perhaps to prove we are adults.

It is the only way we can we safe.

“IT’S NOT FOR SALE”

If we’re thinking of the same movie, those “British” accents were so bad that they’ve stuck with me for 20 years.

I saw the movie ONCE

They don’t want us to die until AI can take over the jobs.

They still need plebs to take money from and to make children for them to ah… “party” with.

For now i think don’t think of them as hating you. That’s a bit like saying someone eating a steak hates cows.

Or fries --> potatoes (lemmy requires us to provide a vegetarian option with our analogies).

Yeah replacement behaviours are an excellent way to teach “not that” without aversives.

What playing with a cat when it does any behaviour does is train it to do that behaviour.

(provided the cat enjoys the attention)

Think of how many people (Russian, Ukrainian or otherwise) who have lost a loved one because of this man’s selfishness.

How many people out of that group would give their lives to take his?

He might live the rest of his natural lifespan, but he’ll probably do most of it behind bulletproof glass and security cordons.

Imagine being one of the diplomats/negotiators from the US and seeing this meme.

“Is he asking them to execute us after offering our terms?”

Off-brand though.

Jeff and the excessively sized pumpkin.

Yeah he’d be better off naming them after vegetables.

How BE guys look at you when you use flex-grid instead.

“Nobody mention the GIMP”

It was always a bluff.
