  • Ehh that studio on the right is perfectly livable for two adults. Common to see in Europe.

    The left looks like some cursed dorm-type setup with shared restrooms and kitchens which is just unsanitary (have you met an average American?).

    But the size is fine. Americans just insist on having ridiculous amounts of square footage to “live” because they don’t live. The US has no third spaces so either you go somewhere and pay for the privilege of being there, or you use your apartment as your all-in-one space for gatherings, exercise, relaxing, creating, etc.





  • Wanna know a secret?

    All big companies are degrading in the same way.

    Teams cut down to 25% staffing with critical support roles sunsetted instead of backfilled. Revenue demands increasing quarter over quarter. Budgets declining. Profits higher than ever before, beating earnings by over 50% quarter over quarter 2 quarters in a row.

    Mistakes costing more and more money, sucking up more labor to fix that is already spread thin. I’m the project lead on half a dozen projects ranging from $100k to $1.6m in capital expense each, simultaneously, by myself.

    My role is not designed for project work. It’s supposed to be routine maintenance and operations. Which I’m also doing.

    The entire corporate world is about to eat shit and reap what they’ve sown. And stocks will be higher than ever before.

    The Western world is in free collapse, yall. Hope you realize and prepare accordingly before those funny TikToks of homeless people you watch have you in them.

    Welcome to the endgame of capitalism.






  • That’s weird, where are all the Lemmy liberals here to point out the same tired BS propaganda excuses in the same exact order of increasing dismissiveness until finally completely pretending genocide was even mentioned and immediately pivoting to some weird excuse about how Trump will do the domestic policies that Biden has literally been signing for the past 4 years?

    It’s almost like they don’t give a shit about anything and don’t believe in anything.






  • Much like 2008, the pandemic never actually ended. When schools reopened, every classroom in the nation was full of children on their 4th, 5th, 6th infection in a month. Thousands of people still drop dead from it every month and the US is, to this day, still experiencing 30% more per capita deaths than pre-pandemic.

    Long COVID is proven to cause permanent organ damage, including brain function. We won’t know what it does to child development until decades from now but it’s already proven to increase risk-taking and reduce higher level function in adults.

    The accumulation of capital continues.
