I contend a functional definition of privilege is the number of problems you can ignore. By this metric anon is likely privileged.

Just label each with a cute yet distinct name. Then customers would associate each name with the blend they order, with bonus lore.
What you’re advocating is called genocide. Genocide is bad.
We’ve tried this ‘separating mentally ill from society’ before - they were called asylums. We stopped doing that because they’re inhumane. (There is an academic debate on if they’re inherently such or simply attract/foster abuse, but were not having that debate today.)
What you’re suggesting is an international crime and violation of human rights. Please reconsider.

I disagree with this joke’s premise
Yes. If you’re not actively using the land you should sell it - if that were the general practice, many renters would be land owners themselves and an entire layer of middle management would evaporate.
I thought it was obvious from the blooming cloud of mutant white spores in the last few seconds 😜 nuclear mushroom!!
I refuse to get formerly identified. Adding labels to your health record feels dangerous in the US - so I’m happy to ‘suspect’ I’m autistic, stay on top of the research, and refuse to be boxed and labeled publicly.
Hose is pronounced /hōz/ and dose is pronounced /dōs/ in “Standard English” (which is a specific and deliberately invented dialect taught to news anchors to try to smooth out all the regional differences), actual english varies so much over time and space that both words have numerous variations - https://www.howtopronounce.com/hose, plus we change our inflection on words depending on where they are in a sentence - and plenty of context can change if the emphasis is on the vowel or the ending consonant: All my hoes know a hose is a hose.
Simply put - as long as people understand the ideas you’re conveying, don’t worry too much about precise spelling and punctuation - it’s literally all made up.

linuxmemes@lemmy.world•spend hours ricing my desktop and decided I hated it at the end, and ended up wiping my entire OS
8·21 days agoIt’s a lowest common denominator kinda issue, methinks. Gnome is chasing it’s own tail trying to create a single UI that will please everyone, plus have it simple to use and both similar enough yet distinct enough to/from Windows/Mac experiences. It’s a noble enough goal - but honestly strikes me as well impossible.
KDE gives you a barely updated Win95 era desktop and then becomes a tinkerer’s paradise - whenever there was two or more options, they focused on making each available, but neither becomes the default.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Uncircumcised penis owners, did you ever wish you were circumcised?
18·23 days agoMy 2¢: don’t
I was circumcised at birth by my parents, and it’s a source of frustration I have with them. Since it’s irreversible, there’s nothing I can do about it though.
Personally, I think circumcised penises look unnatural and weird.

You do add important detail, but I’d make the counterpoint that if the corporation is bullying their least privileged users today, stealing their
lunch moneyprivacy, they’re not going to stop with only them. This is testing the waters for them.Plus - it’s also messed up that they can fundamentally change the nature of the 501©(3) donated version and will likely try to claim a tax benefit as though it’s equivalent to a paid copy.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•We don't use the word 'fascist' because we wish harm on anybody. We use it because words mean things.
8·1 month agoThat’s step two or three, for sure. But the point being made is fascist isn’t a word that can be applied to anyone and everyone (setting aside the 2¢ insult version) - it is a specific political ideology that one earns by their words and actions.
Unfortunately it is also complex to diagnose, particularly in early stages, especially as intelligent budding fascists will deliberately evade the formal definitions while still finding ways to accomplish similar effects.
But yes - there’s also cases where fascists clearly and obviously are doing fascist things, and need to be stopped immediately, please feel free to give them a proper knuckle sandwich (or an appropriate grade of violence as the situation warrants)
I suspect it’s in line with big tech policies to coddle end users instead of educating or trusting them. I assert (particularly since the introduction of the iPhone in 2007) that learned helplessness is built into the game plan.
We have liars and manipulators as political leaders, liars and manipulators as spiritual leaders, why not liars and manipulators as health leaders? (/s)
