I’m subscribing to the Marxist view of the capitalist class. I don’t form my opinions based on movies and I’m not sure what movies you’ve seen that paint investors in the way I’m describing them, but do you have any recommendations, because they sound awesome.

This person has fully lapped up the Warren buffet PR.

I don’t steal tens of thousands of other people’s labour value, so I’m already orders of magnitude better for people than Warren Buffet.

You don’t understand that he and his ilk perpetuate the systems that result in healthcare and education being out of reach for so many people. All billionaires do a bit of philanthropy because look at how easy it is to fool people into thinking they deserve their obscene wealth.

I’m sorry what? He hasn’t made anything. The value created by the companies he owns is generated by the workers. He simply takes all that value that they’ve generated, and gives a poultry amount of it towards charities and NGOs to whitewash his reputation.

He’s not a nice guy, he’s a greedy ghoul.

He’s given back a small amount of what he’s hoarded over his vampiric existence.

Ah yes, they demonstrate my use case in the getting started section. I am an arrogant fool.

2 hours a day?! Go you, you fucking beast.

I run 25k a week and do about 100 crunches a day, maybe some pushups and resistance bands if I remember to. I tend to just listen to my body. 2 meals a day, usually a big meal in the evening and a small breakfast/lunch.

Protein post workout and a good mix of carbs, fibre and protein all the rest of the time.

Children of Ruin is a great book.

Bidets and butt hoses.

It’s comments like this that epitomise the culture on Reddit and something that I’m glad I don’t see a lot of on Lemmy.

It’s telling that you think that someone’s only reaction to something like this might be fear for their own person. Rather than empathy, concern for others, outrage that something like this could be done to innocent people.

And slashed pantaloons

To be honest yes. That is the sort of thing that sounds great. I have a little project I’m about to start so I’ll take a look

Of course you could. The process will take more energy than replicating a drained battery too.

That really is the funniest thing I’ve read all day.

I sincerely hope this is a bit… Otherwise I’m sad that someone can be this stupid

That’s not what nitpicking means

There’s this advert on YouTube shorts for some therapy app or service whatever and it’s just vulgar.

It’s this bearded dude filming himself washing his face and I guess the camera POV is on his basin or whatever.

The whole thing is meant to come across as though he is an influencer that you’ve not heard of, that this is a random video of his that you’ve stumbled across, and that this is just an observation that he’s made about therapy that he’s relaying to you whilst he exfoliates his putrid flesh.

I’ve nothing against therapy at all, but this commodification of it, and the way it dishonestly tries to sell it to you is simply capitalism all over. Most people probably need therapy because of the trauma this system has caused on people and yet here it is trying to sell you the cure as well.

To top it all off, watching this 2010s hipster relic scrub his face with soap is nail curlingly vile and I have no idea what the angle is other than trying to make this not appear to be an advert.

Pays bribe to make bribe allegations go away

The relief sure is something
