I just see three cables on my desk for keyboard, mouse, and headphones and I prefer it like that.

Aesthetics are illogical and often times social conformity rather than personal desire. Like those stupid coiled USB C cables for keyboards that do nothing.

That way instead of having cables for data and power you can have cables for just power and pay more for the device.

I don’t understand the appeal of Bluetooth mice and keyboards while at a desk.

For profit housing and for profit healthcare are abominations.

When you’re pro slavery but only when it’s with consenting adults.

For the immensely wealthy it’s at least self serving. It’s the poor people who parrot that shit who I worry about.

Generally it’s surrogacy even if the baby has their DNA. If two identical twins could theoretically carry the other’s baby as a surrogate despite having the same DNA.

Either God raped her or God gave her IVF against her knowledge. Because she raised the child as her own regardless and it’s not like they could DNA test.

Religion is fucking stupid

They’ve been given to billions of people at this point and with a sample size that large it’s surprising how safe they are.

Dip dip potato chip

But many of those same western countries level out the population decay with immigration. To my knowledge South Korea, Japan, and China don’t have as much immigration.

Lol “it’s not capitalism, because a nationalized healthcare is capitalism”

The profit motive of capitalist controlled entities is completely capitalism; it’s basically a textbook case of capitalism. Don’t fool yourself by saying the countries with more socialized healthcare are somehow more capitalist to the one that doesn’t.

I don’t know of a state that really regulates rent and health insurance. You’d see similar expenses in basically all expensive regions of the US.

If they were to run some applications on the side it would validate the power usage. Like if it also was a Plex server it could be more reasonable to use more power.

Could also really hinge on the electricity cost for their region. At 10 cents a kwh and a delta of 100 watts we’d be talking 87 dollars a year assuming it’s always running at a delta of 100 watts.

I doubt there will be a 100 watt delta especially newer architectures that idle really well.

I don’t think Lemmy has more propaganda than other social media, it’s just not the usual propaganda.

You’re so close

Corporations give things to their executives. Company retreats? Company jets? Company cars? Do none of these exist in your reality?

Corporations do consume, go on holiday, live in mansions… The executives wouldn’t lower their standards or travel on their own dime.

If you think for profit corporations don’t have excess then you must not live in the same reality.

Are you calling for profit insurance the little guy? I don’t know why people think doctors would be the ones taking the hit and not the for profit corporations.

I feel the same way but I think I’m just socially stunted and can’t ask for help so I learned to figure it out myself. I don’t have the knowledge, data, or authority to say they’re not troubleshooting differently than I do because they socialize better than me.

Plus a return rate of .6% is awful. The same banks would demand at least 5%

The problem is that employment isn’t enough not that there isn’t enough employment.
