Wouldn’t obvious triggers be the prime use for a trigger warning? I don’t think you understand what you’re talking about. IDK what the original posts are that caused this so I can’t judge them, but requiring people to use a CW when taking about Palestine seems reasonable

finnie@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•There Is No “Both Sides” to Donald Trump’s Threat to Democracy312·1 year agoI get where you’re coming from but wanting an option other than corporate politicians is very different from willingly electing your last president as a childish incompetent dictator.
I think there’s a video of incel Nick Fuentes saying that because plenty of gay men have had sex with women and he’s still a virgin, having sex with a woman is gay. That’s pretty damn close to this.
finnie@lemmy.worldto Work Reform@lemmy.world•What the hell is this shit? Instead of pushing for the return to traditional pensions, capitalism is celebrating the idea that Millennials and Gen Z may simply never be able to stop working.21·2 years agoOmg, I hadn’t thought of that. Social security is taxed from income, American wages have been stagnant since the 70s.
finnie@lemmy.worldto Open Source@lemmy.ml•The Open Book - An open hardware reading device that's easy to build, easy to manufacture, and easy to make your own3·2 years agoI’ve been using kobo. The integration with pocket and Libby is the killer feature for me. Checking out library books right on the device? Game changer.

finnie@lemmy.worldto Fuck Cars@lemmy.ml•US national collegiate champion Jake Boykin killed in hit-and-run284·2 years agoUnbearably frustrating. We really need to abandon cars as a concept.
I don’t even think the meme is about communism as much as it is just venting about how corps turned free-software into the panopticon it is today.
But Idc if Torvalds is a Marxist bc I’m not either, but marx wrote about how the proletariat should own stocks, so that isn’t even disqualifying tho.
And tbh I think most “marxists” just adopt that term because our political discourse is so corrupted that anyone who thinks that we shouldn’t curb-stomp an Amazon employee for wanting a bathroom break is treated like they’re Mao anyway.
I’m such a sucker for fingerless gloves 👏👏

Is that quantum or is there another rewrite I don’t know about?
finnie@lemmy.worldto Science Fiction@lemmy.world•What are some of your favorite smaller Sci-Fi Horror/psychological thriller stories/films?7·2 years agoThe Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury is a book of short stories that are great. I really like the rain and he has a story called The Long Rain which I read a lot. He has a few in there that are actually really spooky though.
The Marionette’s Inc was just taken and adapted into a loosely based episode in the last season of Black Mirror (Beyond The Sea)! They’re very very different, but it’s the same concept applied differently and the book itself shows up in the episode.
Oh god that’s dark.
Well I think it was successful for the same reason so many unicorn startups are. They were bankrolled by promising angel investors marketshare so they were able to run artificially brutally low prices to dry out the rest of the market for years. But now investors are asking for those profits back and we’re here dealing with horrible Airbnb prices AND it made the housing crisis worse. Double whammy, bb!!
True! Getting rid of these AirBnBs probably doesn’t hurt things though. Now they might actually get a long-term resident.
