3·1 day agothey ended up getting involved in slave operated meat farms in Brazil.
Just a hop, skip, and trip into slave-operated meat farms. The pipeline from car manufacterer to slaver is strangely efficient.

1·1 day agoThe title is being sarcastic. Framing itself as something the Volkswagen brand might say, which would include downplaying its Nazi ties.

Yeah, this post is celebrating Flash like it enabled creativity when jt was just the popular framework. That era didn’t die because Flash went away. Companies killed that era and propped up parts of its body to trick people.

All I’m getting is I should start flipping a coin when I’m suspicious someone is flirting with me. Bonus points is it’ll make me look mysterious.
I’ll definitely trade my child’s social life for several hundred dollars in value.
I don’t get this reply to the original comment. Is the “meh” you saying you don’t care if your kid resents you?
You followed up a comment saying children will resent parents who give them dumb names with a story about how you named your kid after an forum in-joke. Either you are the parent kids resent or your signature was just a normal name.

Technology@lemmy.world•YouTube ads are about to get even longer and they’ll be unskippable - DexertoEnglish
492·4 days agoThis is a terrible take, as most content creators I watch already cannot survive off of Youtube ad revenue and rely on third-party monetization, like Patreon subscriptions.
Besides the fact that plenty of people make content for free, from the simple love of creating something.
That’s hilarious, you activated a faux meet-cute and turned it real.

3·5 days agoI don’t think the guys getting PTSD fighting Picts on the Isles cared much about logistics beyond ensuring they had something to eat and equipment to use. I’m sure I don’t have to tell you that Romans were a lot of different people but I just take umbrage with the wording (more from the OP image). The idea of labeling all Romans by the heights of their exemplars.
Like, the US has a lot of well-regarded universities but we wouldn’t call Americans a learned people; a country of skilled doctors and exacting engineers.

11·6 days agoI’ve never held any illusions that black people would ever be made whole from any of the multiple abuses done to them by the USA. Black people have never been “economic peers” to levy expected, financial obligations, just resources to burn through.
So, I’ll admit that I was unclear and came in with undeclared preconceptions: no, I don’t think black people (in slavery, newly-freed, nor in the prsion system) are expecting to be done right by their incarcerators. So no, there is no “expectation” of payment that is being unmet because the US barely pretended it was a trade.
Someone else mentioned the colonies reneging on French debts, which is an example of the US making a deal with and witholding (re)payment.

That is absolutely not the definition I had intuited. Every mention of “ratioed” has been the replier using it to highlight that their tweet had gotten more engagement (likes and retweets) than the tweet they are responding to. Never a person noting they were ratioed by the metrics of their own tweet.
Your definition is weirdly tertiary. It’s not the comparison of values, it’s the comparison of individual engagement values relative between two or more tweets. I won’t say you’re definitely wrong; I just don’t believe the average Twitter users have the attention span to do that many levels of (self-)reflection.
