Lol, imagine beign the bastard who downvoted.

[–] TWeaK@lemmy.ml -4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Imagine offering yourself up for a circkejerk of up votes.

You can't make a legit comment without careful construction on this platform. After which, your meaning is easily misconstrued.

That is to say, you aren't down voted to oblivion, if your backspaces aren't eaten up by unfavourable autocorrelation.

I'm unsure whether I understand. Are you trying to say that you have a reasoned argument as for why poor people don't deserve nice things?

I'm not sure I understand my previous comment either, other than to say I was probably quite drunk when I made it.

Edit: OK wait I'm gonna try and make sense of it.

My first paragraph was a direct reply, saying how the top level comment was bullshit just circlejerking for upvotes against this one person that downvoted.

My 2nd paragraph was about how there is a narrative being promoted by some users that dominate this place, merely because there is such a sparse amount of content.

My 3rd paragraph was a criticism of the app I use, which has been pissing me off lately because when I hit backspace twice it removes the space between the word I'm editing and the previous word and generally confuses me, as well as autocorrect.

Also I was indeed drunk. So I feel like beating the backspace and autocorrect issue is some kind of a triumph hah.

I heard believing in neoclassical economics reduces your throat diameter

Except for the boot, it gets inifnitely rubbery for that.

May as well be unable to swallow anything of one is poor and still believes in neoclassical economics – it isn't going to fill their belly any faster.

Deserve? No one is entitled to other people's labor.

Wait till you find out how jobs work under capitalism. Your labour produces a certain amount of value, then your boss appropriates that and pays you back a tiny portion of it in form of wages.

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My boss and I agree on the value of my labor.

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Good to know you agree with being exploited. Boots aren't gonna lick themselves I guess.

[–] fu@libranet.de -1 points 2 years ago

@Fizz @yogthos agreed! That's the problem with capitalism!

We still have to pay for them though.

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago

Hilarious how the same people who do hand wringing about paying to ensure that everybody has their needs met go to work and hand over most of the value they create through their labour to their employer. 🤡
