You posted this, right after commenting on this meme, in a meme community. Maybe people are getting too sensitive I don’t know, but memes are also used to make fun of stereotypes - not to be taken seriously or literally
And no… I am not a bot.
I succeed on almost all CAPTCHAs within 3 attempts
I think that this is the point of OP yes 👍
It’s not meant to be easy! It’s actually best when it’s challenging and thought provoking
Any criticism, or insult or demeaning action I get, I try to swallow my pride and check if it’s justified. It sometimes is! If it’s not, I let it slide and try to keep on.
That said, tone and respect is important but not always reciprocal and at some point it may be best to not pursue a meaningful discussion
In my experience though, this is rarely the case!
People don’t talk any more because they have stopped listening.
They just want to tell their opinion and don’t care about what opinion others have or even consider their angles
I’ll list a few that I like but with no links because I don’t want to use Amazon and most results that I find are limited to EU based shops anyway so not sure if it helps you. But I am sure you’ll be able to look them up
Sand pendulum. Basically a pendulum that draws patterns on very fine sand. If you see them you can probably make one yourself that is even cooler
Double Pendulum, pretty cool to look at
Gyroscopes.
Tensegrity models. Those floating style structures that actually hang
Decorations with magnetic sand or fluid
Why get married in the first place anyway
Star Trek The Next Generation
Modern Family
Dexter
Ghosts (Both versions)
LOST (right up until just before the end)
I’m almost 50 and had to look up DAE 🤷 It turns out that it is an abbreviation for 48 meanings!
I figured it stands for Does Anyone Else but what has clearly changed as I grew older is, how tired I am of abbreviations
This is the point though… Our world today has an issue, because it has become dependent on fast and unstoppable growth. Companies don’t have to grow fast and big, and they shouldn’t.
Nah… i don’t see shareholding as a loan. Loans cost a set percentage rate. Shareholding costs parts of the company worth. Loans are imo totally legitimate. Shareholding on the other hand, is selling off the company to people who don’t care if it survives or not. As long as they jump ship before it shows signs of sinking
To me it sounds like companies outgrow themselves in the pursuit of growth
It sounds like having public companies is the issue then.
I feel that the majority of the world doesn’t get a voice in this, and it indirectly justifies having a gun.
Most of us do neither want, need or have a gun
it’s a public company issue.
Why do we have them then?
Sure, but then the company is not viable without the support of external capital. From my point of view, investors artificially expand the capacity of companies, to the point where they no longer are viable
If the company needs shareholders to fund it though, it is not economically viable in the first place. It is being artificially supported by the capital that they add to it
Remember when the Panama Papers were leaked, that exposed many celebrities who were involved in tax fraud and other criminal activities?
Remember how much it affected the involved people?
One thing i don’t understand is why a company always needs growth. Why not just do what they do, solve a problem for the people or companies they serve, and be happy with that. Growth will come, and plateau when it reaches a natural level of saturation. Why keep trying to expand, sell more, increase profit and eventually collapse?
Not stalking. I was just curious to see who accused me of being a bot, in that other community and in doing that, noticed your post.
If you just made a post, as bait for me to react on, or trigger me, then you’re doing your part in turning Lemmy into Reddit yourself 🤷
