Ooh, yeah, that’s a nice phone…

Especially in this economy of runaway corporate greed, we need a meaningful increase in wages revolution to eliminate those corporations and the systemic rewarding of greed.

The fact that they could increase wages and still make money while improving society but don’t, is why they don’t deserve any more benefit of the doubt, or room to continue hoarding wealth and power as they are, because a system that craves constant growth at any cost will never stop on its own (nor provide paths for reform).

My uncle had the Nokia 9110, it was incredible for its time, and definitely contributed to me wanting a phone with a full keyboard haha

I’m in this meme, and your addition, and I don’t like it. 😑

Those were such exciting phones, coming from a Nokia.

Nokia made them too! I had the N97 for a good while… Also still have it in a drawer somewhere lol

They’re in the business of making money, simple as.

I don’t know where you live, but for example

19% provide only private care, with no NHS, and a further 14% said they worked predominantly (over 75% of their time) in private care. Only 15% of responding dentists are fully NHS, with no private care, and a further 27% said they worked predominantly (over 75% of their time) in NHS care.

And I’m sure the numbers are similar or worse in every country where a capitalist government is running a pseudo-social service. Because they’re still more concerned about the bottom line than they are about your wellbeing, so they’ve sold large chunks of the service off, and us poors who can’t afford to go private have to put up with a deliberately underfunded, sub standard service.

Either way, you’re not getting the top notch selfless service you think you are.

They might not be buying the toothpaste, but they may very well be in partnership with or owned by the same people as the toothpaste company. I’m sure they know the brand of toothpaste you use makes very little difference in the grand scheme of things, and if they were to recommend one it wouldn’t be because they’re wanting what’s best for you, but because some money exchanged hands.

You had me in the first half, but fuck insurance companies, they too are for-profit, not for-benefit-of-patient. If anything, they’re some of the worst offenders at it.

what in there indicates animosity?

The racism.

There was a time

That time is now, it is still an acceptable defence in too many places, or has only very recently been banned

And it’s just so fucking cool to have a big dump truck be silent?! I cannot get over how happy it makes me that they’re just chilling silently when they’re stopped. Makes my mornings more peaceful.

This in itself is worth the change, reducing noise in residential areas (and others) would be a huge improvement in quality of life for both people and wildlife.

It’s also absolutely adorable 😂

(which is probably why they’d hate it 🙄)

This is nothing more than legal corruption.

It is loooooooooooooooooooooooooong past the time to get rid of this “bring a friend” system of keeping power and influence in the hands of an almost always un (or at least under) qualified privileged few who are only ever looking out for, and manipulating the government and society at large to maintain their own interests.

It is a pejorative

No, it isn’t, just like TERF isn’t or like pointing out someone is white or male isn’t, they are all simple statements of fact, that those they apply to don’t like because, being used to always being the “default” that doesn’t need categorising, it gives them the tiniest of glimpses of being part of an out group, without all of the oppression people like them actually enforce on members of the groups they marginalise.

Don’t play in to the hands of the victimhood seeking bootlicker. This person is not being attacked or bullied or harmed in any way, they are literally just facing the consequences of their actions and words.

As they fucking should.

They’re also literally defending cops, probably the most well known group of domestic abusers out there. It really isn’t a big leap to make that if someone gets defensive over abusers (or racists), it’s because they’re actually getting defensive about their own behaviour.

E: also, the fact that the mods had removed your comment, but none of the racist bootlicker’s, tells you everything you need to know about who they prioritise in this space - when “don’t be a dick” becomes “don’t be a dick to fascists”, you’re actively platforming fascists.

I am entitled to my opinion in this community

As is everyone else!

And just like everyone else, your feelings of entitlement don’t protect you from having your shit opinion criticised, nor you, for having it!

So fuck off, racist bootlicker.

You’re good, like I said, it clearly wasn’t intentional, we all pick up different bits of information along our ways, this is probably one of those things that circulated in feminist spaces more than celebrity ones, but either way, now more people know!

I appreciate the seconding, but also find it ironic considering the article we’re replying to that you (completely unintentionally, I don’t doubt) chose a meme featuring sex pest James Franco.

What in the world necessitates those?

A system designed to abuse and control.
