as a zoomer who had access to porn at a young age, that shit was not good for me at all. i think it’s pretty fair to suggest that people below the age of 13 should not be looking at porn - but i wouldn’t even know how one could even go about actually regulating it

nobody reads theory anymore 😔

because prior to the advent of capitalism the priorities were not on the consumer, but on the aristocracy. while the end results of free market capitalism are clearly destroying the planet, it is insanely more equitable than anything that came before it.

the economies of scale exist due to the consumer pressure, which didn’t exist in other market systems.

i don’t get why people are downvoting that. i’m not saying capitalism is the best thing in the world and nothing will ever be better than it. i’m saying it allowed people to eat more meat and is democratic compared to feudalism or mercantilism

communism requires capitalism to exist … at its invention, capitalism was the cutting edge that allowed massive economies to form. free market capitalism allowed the creation of extremely complex and vast logistical networks that did not exist prior.

this is not some sort of “capitalism vs communism” thing. this is saying that capitalism was miles more efficient and liberating than anything that came before it. inshallah whatever comes after it will continue the trend

capitalism has led to never before seen economies of scale, allowing for dirt cheap food prices never before seen in history. if we were to look at capitalism through that metric and that metric only then it would be wildly popular…

it’s about the scale at which these items are consumed - eating meat every day was pretty much unheard of until the advent of capitalism

not sure the distinction between null and undefined is doing anything for me here

that’s pretty much the definition of tech debt

i’m glad we’ve all decided to ignore rule 10 😁

i’m doubting there will be a large exodus… why wouldn’t they be here already?

my understanding was that affirmative action is about creating a diverse student body

i have never written a unit test for a personal project in my life it’s not worth the overhead imo

lemmy.world is chiller but lemmy.ml is more permanent

maybe an improvement in overall circulation?

where’s here?

what’s KF?

i was just thinking this too… easy enough to see who we have defederated but idk bout the inverse … following !

tbf the jokes were very much on the nose back when the show first aired too…

i feel like this falls apart pretty quickly lol

definitely something i’m doing! it’s important to see how everyone else does it but it’s very hard to quantify what exactly makes these other options so good
