Wait really? What’s the catch?

Hope this isnt the nail in the coffin of Mad Max.

Maybe it’s a sign that a Mad Max movie should have Mad Max in it.

Or the cumbox. Or that kid who broke his arms. Or that dog, Colby I think? No wonder AI always wants to exterminate humanity in sci-fi.

Interesting, maybe I’ll read the book. I’m trying to read more

I don’t know anything about Dune, does it have Magic (the Force)?

Great reasons the government shouldn’t be in charge of healthcare! Your options could change based on whatever party is in power

How is that functionally different from finding or creating a different subreddit? On reddit if you got banned from a subreddit, you could just join a different subreddit about the same topic.

but without the politics and without being overly-policed

Lemmy doesn’t really do anything to address either of these.

I wonder what causes this? Genetics, random, maybe issues during speech development as a child?

I agree. Businesses and owners have too much influence. I want more unions, trust-busting, and consumer protections. Workers seem to be organizing more at least, which is a good start.

I think human nature is inherently greedy and selfish, and capitalism is best equipped to use this in a way that benefits society. Workers are motivated to work harder and learn new skills to find the most rewarding job they can. Businesses are motivated to create products and run as efficiently as possible. Consumers are motivated to get as much value as the can out of their money. Everyone in the equation is acting selfishly and in their own self-interest (which I believe humans are inclined to do anyway) but when applied on a societal level, everyone benefits. However I will concede that this is a balancing act that requires some level of government regulation to maintain.

On the other hand, I think communism only works when everyone acts altruistically. Which is noble, but unrealistic.

I think capitalism is good, but not perfect. Communism is bad.

Or when it “corrects” a word I didn’t want, so I delete the part it changed and then type in what I want to say and it “corrects” it again into the same thing I just deleted. Satan could learn a thing or two from whoever invented that “feature.”

Do you have a real-world example of a successful communist state? Because you may not like it, but those “communist” countries are humanities best attempts at enacting communism and they resulted in millions of people dying.

It seems to very a lot from phone to phone. My current phone is terrible. It “corrects” words I don’t want it to, and leaves in obvious typos.

So the tens of millions of people that died under communism were all landlords? Wow, what are the chances of that

Everyone in my family has one. We play ping pong.

This reads like a joke. 50 years of technological development and people are just playing hi-tech pong.

Wow, I’m shocked it’s that high. I’ve never heard of someone using one.

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but these companies need to pay more taxes. Losing $3.9 billion dollars on a stupid vanity project because they have nothing else to spend it on is ridiculous. Higher taxes would at least force them to be more efficient.

I don’t think the technology is there yet. As long as people need to wear big bulky goggles and headsets it’s not going to take off. Make something that’s about as cumbersome as sunglasses and less than $1000 and there might be mass adoption.
