You are absolutely correct to hate this so much!

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What's the difference between socialism and communism? Is there one? Or are the terms interchangeable?
1·11 hours agoFirst off, the 1956 Republican party is not the same as the modern GOP. You conveniently chose the time immediately before the schism that essentially reversed the two parties.
If anyone wants to argue about this, I suggest you read about Strom Thurmond. Perhaps the most vile, openly racist politician of the 20th century US. Thurmond was a lifelong Democrat, until the party started supporting civil rights.
That’s when he and his fellow Dixiecrats (racist Southern Democrats) moved to the Republican party. You’re highlighting their platform from immediately before the influx of racist shit heads.
Second, nobody classifies North Korea as that, except for North Korea. That doesn’t mean that we cannot label it accurately.
Third, Hitler never claimed to be a Marxist, nor have I ever seen anyone make that claim. I’ve seen the “hurr durr Nazis are socialist because it’s in the name,” but there’s a distinction between socialism and Marxism.
Fourth, the logic of the Bloomberg thing isn’t sound. “Almost as if he were a green” as if wanting less cars is completely unique to the Green party. Not how logic works.

1·11 hours agoCommunism in the strictest sense is the means of production are owned by the state.
Someone better tell the anarcho-communists
Yeah this is only a joke because it’s not something they can actually do

Games@lemmy.world•Which game did you get the most and least enjoyment per dollar out of?English
2·1 day agoand have around 5,600 hours in [Skyrim]
I’m amazed every time I hear about people playing Skyrim for so much time… I am aware of mods, but still… How?? That’s nearly 8 months of nonstop playing if you do the math.
The only game I could imagine ever spending anywhere near that much time on would be Rimworld, and even then I think I’d get bored. And that’s a game with infinite possibilities. Skyrim is a mediocre Bethesda game.
I dunno, I just find it baffling.

I guess I don’t consider OSS to be an “industry” in the same way other, mainly capitalist, endeavors are. It’s more akin to a co-op

Yeah, Celsius is better. But imagine caring this much about it.
I dunno if my tastes just evolved, but I swear Arizona isn’t as good as it used to be
Can anyone come up with a single example of an industry that’s not getting simultaneously worse (and/or smaller), and more expensive?
Well I’m sorry that you don’t understand case law, but that’s exactly how it works in situations like this.
Who’s gonna dispute that a contract is a contract?
Nobody now, because that’s a precedent that’s already been set. In a court.
Something that has not happened for the situation we’re talking about.
Edit: to be clear, it’s not necessarily true that nobody would dispute that actually. There are likely numerous cases regarding identifying the validity of a contract on the books, which is how we know exactly what one is.
If someone were to come up with an interesting enough situation that warrants a new case, then that outcome would be added to the list of cases that define what a contract is (do a Google search, there are already a whole bunch like that).
That’s literally how the court system works.

It’s not objective fact unless it’s been tested in court. And this has not.
