Bravo, blazera. It’s always nice to see some concern for the truth on the internet. I mean this very unsarcastically.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen somebody publicly changing their mind on the internet until I came here. Perhaps there is something special about lemmy.

The internet needs more of this. Maybe lemmy can amplify public mind changings like this somehow…

You only saw the tabs open on this workspace.

But yeah I don’t have hundreds of tabs open. It is incompatible with my workflow. Only the “tabs” directly relevant to whatever is currently happening in the current workspace are kept open.

A link either gets read or it doesn’t. If I don’t have time to read a link somebody sends me personally, I just tell them that. I don’t string anybody along about a link I know I will never read. I can’t allow for any link backlog. That leads to . . . dark places.

Also, I don’t really use bookmarks either. When I disable search suggestions and use firefox suggest, it leave more space for history. It works so well I don’t really need to bookmark anything. Frequently opened sites make their way to the top on their own.

Those quote marks around the ‘wins’ are just great.

You are describing what should be done with a powerful economy. Not how to create a powerful economy. Abolishing the stock market will not encourage wealth distribution. It will make the economy weaker, and could easily make wealth concentration worse.

The right move is to reform the stock market, imposing rules on company ownership. That’s why I brought up Germany. All companies in Germany above a certain size must be 40% owned by their employees.

What do you mean by “improve the economy”?

“Stupid” is a characteristic of stupid people. Do you disagree with its usage as well?

You’re saying it usually does not function properly as a means of buying and selling control over companies? Because Musk bought his first big piece of Twitter on the stock market. That’s an example of the stock market working as intended. I would argue that this is how the stock market usually works. This is not gambling. This is the purchase of a tangible asset.

It then goes on to say

Noun

пидора́с • (pidorás) m anim (genitive пидора́са, nominative plural пидора́сы, genitive plural пидора́сов)

1. (vulgar, offensive) fag, faggot (homosexual)
2. (vulgar) asshole (mean or rude person)

Well, I brought up GameStop because it’s an example of the stock market not working as intended. I’m saying the stock market usually works as intended. And it is intended as a means of buying and selling companies, their assets, liabilities, and crucially, their employees.

Sorry, I don’t follow.

Yes, I see. I’m sorry. I really thought it would be pretty clear what each Cyrillic name meant, even to people who had never read Cyrillic before.

The English “pedarast” is not a great translation. Not vulgar, or like, swear-wordy enough. Doesn’t capture the Russian connotations. See https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/пидарас

It is not respect for the language. It is the minimum amount of respect every person gets when addressed by their true name. Even Путин deserves to be called by his true name. Though that is really all he deserves.

Were you confused by what I had typed?

But I do immensely enjoy the ironically homophobic joke. Homophobic jokes are appropriate when making fun of a country of homophobes.

I use the Cyrillic spellings to better reflect pronunciation. I don’t give a fuck about Russian’s totally fucking insane grammar. I know Russian grammar. Only too well.

The first two are actually right. Both are nominative singular.

Only “Путин’s fate” is wrong. If I were to respect Russian grammar, but again, why?, it would be “fate Путина”.

Always has been.

Astronaut meme intensifies.

Are we both talking about the same country?

You can kill a revolutionary, but you can’t kill a revolution.
