dohpaz42@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The American Dream is actually anti-capitalistEnglish4·8 days agoNo they don’t conflict; they’re symbiotic.
The “American dream” was dreamed up by rich capitalists to encourage poorer people to work harder, longer hours, and to do so with as little grumbling as possible. Couple it with the “rite of passage” mentality - i.e. working super shitty conditions because everyone else had to do the same - then it’s the perfect indoctrination needed to convince people that their hardships are their own failures and not the system’s.
Another, simpler, way to look at it is that the “American Dream” is a carrot on a very long stick that is dangled in front of us to encourage us to move forward with their capitalist agenda while making us think we’re getting a reward for our labor.
Must be from the NPM delivery service. The recipient is lucky the driver didn’t give them thousands of dependencies too.

There’s also a boulevard that has a billboard advertising it. My area is not exactly considered the most affluent of areas.

American Dad did an episode on this once. Feel free to skip to the 4’00” mark.
dohpaz42@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What do y'all recommend for new dishwashers?English1·22 days agoMy biggest gripe with my dishwasher is that it doesn’t vent the steam without me opening the door after the wash, and there is no alert to when the wash is done.
I would say not in all installations, no. And honestly, it’s not worth trusting.

Why VIM decided to make itself run just like VI (by default) is beyond me. Isn’t the long name “VI Improved”?

dohpaz42@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Have I made the right decision of cutting things off fully? English14·1 month agoI’m a very lonely person so this is very hard for me to do. I like having people around and not in a selfish way, I do care for people, but I don’t do good when I don’t have someone to lean on.
This is a difficult trait to manage. I fall into this category too, and I have to keep reminding myself that it’s worth the wait to find the right person; something you should take the time to figure out for yourself before jumping into your next relationship.
Don’t forget that you’re stronger than you think. Don’t let the loneliness trick you into doing something you’ll regret. And good luck!
dohpaz42@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•30M After divorce I got literally zero support from anyone, why?English4·1 month agoMy guy. I hear you and see you. It’s unfortunate the way things landed for you. Keep putting in the hard work. I wish I had more advice for you, but I’m down in the weeds in a similar “friend” situation myself.
I will say this: do things to take care of yourself. Keep the house clean, make yourself bonafide dinners, and treat yourself every now and again.
