FDR wanted social security to be this, and Medicare to be for everyone…
The “moderates” at the time kept telling him it had to be looked into more, and 80 years later Biden kept saying the same thing
It’s what they’ll always keep saying, it’s why we can’t keep wasting time electing them, we need people who actually want to fix shit.
Old products were made so that each product lasted as long as possible.
So when one part failed, it was worth repairing because the rest was probably fine.
Modern products are designed to last X amount of time, so when one part fails, the rest of it is likely to fail soon.
Making repair not worth it.
You’re trying to treat this as one problem, but it’s specific depending on what you need. Like, you can 100% buy a fountain pen instead of using cheap disposables. But I doubt that’s what you’re talked no about.
We need politicians with the balls to start nationalizing things like insurance and utilities…
Both parties picking profits over people isn’t working out
Posting Israeli propaganda usually gets someone banned pretty quickly…
Medical documentation still isn’t required, and only the direct supervisor can make a decision…
So this can be met by a supervisor saying “you still need telework, right?” Once a year.
There may be pressure from higher ups to deny telework, but this is why we have a chain of command.
Just need middle management to plant their feet for employees
India is a huge country with lots of wealth inequality.
While there have been gains in the last decade, in some areas it’s still common to not have indoor toilets in every residence, that’s people dealing with poverty.
It’s not like they just don’t want bathrooms, they can’t afford them.
Cracking jokes at their expense is very bad form, but there’s an equal chance you were just ignorant and legitimately asking, so I’m leaving the comment up.
But in any area where “open defecation” is widespread in a community, it’s almost never because everyone prefers it. It’s what happens when the infrastructure for a biological need doesn’t exist. There’s literally no other option.
The sticking point would be actively trying to remember something would look like lying.
Like, ask someone their name and they’ll answer immediately just yanking straight from memory.
Ask them where they were on Dec 2nd 2017, and them trying to remember is going to look like them trying to come up with a story.
The issue is when we don’t know an answer, it’s normal to just make shit up but be confident it’s the truth.
We learned a lot about that from split brain patients, but since we’re not cutting brains in half anymore, we can’t really study it. Just review the old case folders from the brief window it was a thing and those patients didn’t understand what was happening
We’re fighting fascism buddy…
I meant in general that is what’s happening in 2015…
based on your personal, ever changing, in-group language.
Again, this isn’t a personal opinion, there have been multiple academic studies showing the effect language choices like this on thinking since the 1980s at least.
It’s not “ever changing” but if 40 some years is too fast for you, lots of conservatives feel the same.
I just don’t spend a lot of time interacting with someone who views a personal inconvenience like this apparently is as such a big deal and worth hurting others.
But again, lots of conservatives do. MAGA 100% agrees with you, and regretably there’s a lot of them these days.
So I’ll leave you free to talk with the people you agree with.
The Gen Z stare is typically described as a vacant, unresponsive gaze, often replacing traditional greetings or small talk in service roles. Millennials and older generations have taken to social media to share stories of being met with this stare by young workers, interpreting it as a sign of disengagement or a lack of soft skills. Gen Zers, in turn, argue that the stare is a reaction to awkward or nonsensical customer interactions, or simply a preference for authenticity over forced pleasantries.
This has been a thing since at least the 1980s…
Hard to find good old pictures these days cuz there’s so much ai slop, but:

The girl on the right exhaling smoke is 100% the same vibe and has been a response by teens to older people trying to engage them for literal generations now.
I’d bet money on everyone complaining about it t now, did it at least once to someone else when they were younger.
They’re just mad they’re just n the other side of it now.
You’re arguing about word choices and message
Because that effects how people think and treat others…
This isn’t just my opinion, this has been studied extensively, not just for word choice within one language but how different languages cause people to think differently.
I thought you just weren’t aware, but I provided a couple sources and you’re getting angry and still wanting to aide with the fascists on the right…
That kind of only leaves one reason for why you’re still denying science…
So something like “begging person” or “beggarly person”?
Why are you so insistent to use “beg”?
“Someone asking for donations” maintains their dignity and communicates the point clearly…
Personally, if you called me a German, a furry or a vegetarian, I wouldn’t mind, even though none of these attributes encompass my entire existence.
Ok…
But we don’t call people what we would like to be called, we don’t set the minimum of respect for everyone else
If didn’t have a home, job, or food, you might be less willing to be dehumanized.
The privileged are usually the least sensitive to that.
Like, I’m 6’4", if someone that’s 6’6" walked up and said “Hey shorty, what’s up”. I won’t give a single fuck.
If I was a 5’2" man, I might be offended, and if I said a 5’2 man had to be ok with it because I was, I’d be a jackass.
That’s literally preschool level empathy, and it’s depressing so many people here never learned that
So…
Not only do you view dehumanizing language as “no big deal” you’re actively choosing to spend your free time online to argue with people about how we shouldn’t put any effort into it.
Like…
Are you just ignorant on how language changes thinking? Or do you understand how serious this is and just deciding to side with the fascists on this (and probably other) topics?

https://studyfinds.org/language-influences-reality/
Like. This should be “common sense” but there’s been studies on it for decades.
Do you really not understand how word choices effect a message?
…
We’re fighting fascism buddy…
If someone saying it’s better to use adjectives than nouns is enough for you to want to meet in the middle with fascists, it sounds to me you were looking for an excuse to tell people to get closer to fascism
Go on… what is the newer term?
Using adjectives to describe an aspect of a person instead of a noun to reduce them to a single aspect…
Use adjectives to describe people, not nouns to label them…
Super basic, and applies to almost ever scenario.
It’s about not reducing someone to one attribute, and it’s been around for like a decade at least in western society.
Anyone got any thoughts about this?
Calling them “beggers” is shitty and outdated…
And with you saying the people who help others only do it for religious reasons…
It makes me think you should be saying what geographic area you’re in when asking these questions, because it just doesn’t sound like any western country.
All this stuff might be normal where you’re from, but not where most Lemmy users are.
Or maybe there’s another reason you keep using terms that are outdated in Europe/Canada/America?
What?
Ignoring posture is not a good plan long term.
Do whatever you want, but you’re going to regret it for decades. If you get upset people are trying to help you, acting like this will get them to stop trying. But that isn’t a good result for you
but it seems you’re saying false negatives are a greater concern.
Someone with a bad BMI but healthy will get further testing and told they’re healthy…
Someone with a “good BMI” because they have bird bones and no muscle, just fat, will never have further testing done and always insist BMI is all that matters. You can see it anytime BMI comes up, people ignore all evidence that say they may need to look deeper than that single number.
Consider life in the 1830s to now, it would have been impossible for even the wealthiest to avoid exercise and consume as many calories as the average modern human. Shit just isn’t comparable.
There’s no logical reason to keep using it
What?
How would voting I be voting blue?
Why are people up voting that? It makes zero sense…
Nah, they read everything about themselves, or have someone read it to them.
Then they go to the place where they literally control the narrative and respond.
