Why is it shortsighted? A service like this costs money to run, and if you won’t pay for it, someone else has to.

So did Facebook. It’s the old drug dealer gambit: first hit is on the house, after that, you gotta pay.

Hey kids, do you like violence?

Wanna see me stick nine inch nails through each one of my eyelids?

Wanna copy me and do exactly like I did?

Try 'cid and get fucked up worse than my life is?

That’s nonsense, because whenever there is a product being sold at such massive markups, there is a HUGE opportunity to make money simply by undercutting the market (i.e. selling a cheaper alternative).

Either this is the result of overregulation forbidding cheaper, imported alternatives to be sold, monopoly control, or there’s more to the story than OP is telling us (such as iron only being this cheap in Germany because it’s subsidized / covered by insurance, etc.)

Just because Trump won doesn’t mean he’s running things yet. Technically, the Biden administration is still in charge until January. This is happening on their watch.

More people voted for the candidate I don’t like than the one I do. Democracy is broken. /s

Whoops. It was supposed to go to /c/lemmyshitpost but I guess this works. It’s certainly not unwholesome.

Live, laugh, toaster bath

Yo, that’s $590 for a t-shirt

That explains a lot of his recent unhinged tweets

Then prepare to die. 🔪

Yes, that’s precisely what I meant. Thanks for fleshing it out.

I think it’s fine in this context because presumably, the therapist and the client are on the same team, but I do dislike it in another situations where consent isn’t necessarily as strongly implied.

Not really my vibe but if you enjoyed it, you should also check out Fever Ray, that’s the lady’s solo project. Dark, gritty, experimental stuff.

Looks like a chameleon to me.

Probably an Easter egg. Seems to be the author’s mascot:

The Lemmy devs are explicitly Marxist-Leninist, but you know that, right?

You’re missing the point. This isn’t about which form of government is better, it’s about the fact that governments themselves are liable to produce far worse catastrophes than the businesses they’re supposed to be regulating, and every time you vote for giving the government more power to punish those you hate, you are also giving it more power to punish yourself.
