Happiest I've ever been at work has been fixing and cleaning things that needed it.

The thing that always stopped it was the inhumane work conditions and lack of respect. If you're happy to treat me as an equal, and make me a cup of tea when I take a break to stretch my back and knees I'll do the dirty shitty work for you.

If you want me to work to the point of damaging my body and then raise your voice at me if you see me taking a damn breather then we're gonna have a problem.

Whoever is going to be using it. It's not fucking complicated. Under (actual) communism the populace is educated to take care of themselves, unlike in capitalism, which purposefully perpetuates the class divide through lack of education to preserve hierarchy.

I’m damn near 40 in a great career and I still miss my old McDonald’s days that paid peanuts. It was a weird mix of monotony, spontaneity and genuine friendships.

Communism would just end up with everyone being brain surgeons and rocket scientists with nobody filling potholes.

And who automates the auto-automatons? Hmm checkmate.

Gork ,

auto-auto-automatons

We would need some mathematicians to generalize this to the entire set though. Then we'd have the more elegantly named auto-Natons which is valid for any positive integer N.

Any automaton worth it's salt contains a smaller version of itself.
They're called Russian-automatons.

PopOfAfrica ,

I'm from the middle of nowhere West Virginia where a lot of the times you can't get the county to fill in potholes. Lots of people manually fill them in themselves with gravel. If the tools were readily available to borrow, then there would absolutely be somebody that would fix their own road.

We act like there was no infrastructure before capitalism, and that's just not the case. If a village needed a bridge, they built a bridge together.

This is a joke right? Like those jobs are grueling as fuck and require very particular people to be interested/capable.

Microw , to World News in Yemeni people are demanding that their government puts a formal proposal to host leaders of the Resistance Hamas in the country and their official headquarters to be in capital Sanaa
@Microw@lemm.ee avatar

"Yemeni people" probably means Houthi-aligned people, I guess?

Count042 ,

It means all of the country except for one city that made peace with the now government.

That's what happens when people win revolutions, even after an attempted genocide through forced starvation. They become the government.

doubtingtammy ,

If you knew anything about Yemen in 2024, you'd know that their position towards Israel is supported by virtually the entire population, including opponents of the Houthis. The population knows what it's like to be starved and bombarded by US weapons.

Count042 ,

Also, Houthi aligned makes you sound ignorant.

It'd be like calling Democrats 'Kennedy aligned', if you ignored RFK junior.

They are well-known as al-Ḥūṯiyyūn, but you're right, I should call them Ansar Allah.

Alsephina ,

Given that Ansarallah governs over 80% of the Yemeni population with popular support from the people, yeah ig?

Pirate game

Company loses $60 because it's theft

Company regains $60 after deleting game from hard drive

Pirate one million copies, company bankrupt from massive theft

Buy insolvent company for cheap
