It works well for communes where small groups live together and are capable of holding one another accountable. It does not work when a small number of individuals control the state including power over law enforcement and the military. That concentration of power destroys communism and instead becomes exploitative and fascist.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Someone with your last name commits a heinous crime and their name becomes infamous, would you change that name? Why or Why not?English
4·5 days agoNo, this has happened and I did not feel the need to change my name. Nobody even associates my name with his because his heinous crime happens so often in my country.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•People who stick the apple logo on their car: Why?English
8·11 days agoPoor people are confused and think affording overpriced tech means they are wealthy. But they’re just slightly less poor.

11·11 days agoShouldn’t be asking on the fediverse at all, even if you delete a post there is zero presumption of privacy on the fediverse. It’s not at all designed for that.

13·11 days agoThat’s actually a moot point on Lemmy as it only guarantees regular users lose convenient access. And there is ZERO presumption of privacy everywhere on the fediverse. The system is not designed for that, even when it comes to deleted posts.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•My 97-year-old great-grandma once said, “In my youth, being a mistress was more advantageous than being a wife for a woman.” How factual do you think this statement is for that time period?English
2·11 days agoIn the US that changed in the 1970s if I recall correctly.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What job or profession can you admit that you're just not cut out for?English
1·12 days agoWhat you described is why modern police departments restrict or ban high speed chases. They are entirely unsafe for the community and because of adrenaline result in far more shootings of suspects.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do trans people like to be noticed?English
85·12 days agoI am not trans myself, but I have a trans daughter. In my experience trans people do not want to be treated any differently than you would treat anyone else. I would especially not make reference to their transition in public, ever. If they are a close friend or family member who discusses such things with you in private that might be a different story. But ultimately pointing out their differences or that you notice their differences or patronizing them in any way will only be felt negatively.
TL;DR, don’t say anything to a trans person you wouldn’t say to a CIS person. The kindest thing you can do is treat them like everyone else.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Has Trick-or-Treating died in your area, and what is to blame?English
7·14 days agoI live in an urban area and we run out of candy in two hours there are so many kids.
I’m a Nginx(SWAG) user. It looks like more and more tutorials are leaning towards Traefik or Caddy with some using NPM. If you rely on those to deploy new services I would consider that.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why are all "doctors" on youtube full of shit?English
2·15 days agoThey would have to spend so much time building a brand and making a name for themselves they would have no time to be a real doctor. Otherwise they are making videos and just throwing them into the ether. That’s why doctors lend their expertise to governments and NGOs because those already have a reputation and communication channels.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why are all "doctors" on youtube full of shit?English
4·16 days agoIf you can make money as a doctor you’d have to be an idiot to try and make money as a content creator.
Unless a doctor is being paid by a government or NGO, it makes zero sense for them to spend their time making educational content on the Internet. It’s actually pretty easy for doctors to donate their time actually helping people directly if they want. Lots of doctors do that already.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is the US currently in a recession or entering one?English
4·16 days agoIf you did not include AI spending we would be in a recession. So for most regular working people 100% we are in recession. Shit is going to pop off when SNAP is allowed to run out.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•I am getting offended on this kind of messages, am I overreacting?English

14·19 days agoRunning a chromium based browser with only 2GB of RAM is ill advised.
If it’s not one it’s definitely the other.
