Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I know
I have to spend quite a lot of time in 'Murica
Don't get me wrong. While I despise your society, I pity the individuals
But unfortunately there are too many of you who are perfectly happy to see others fucked over for their personal convenience
Selfishness and greed are celebrated parts of what passes for culture there
You’re shitting on the individuals though.
You’re not intrinsically better because you’re from Europe or wherever the fuck.
People are struggling. It does nothing to punch down right now.
Your individuals allowed this to happen.
Not as individuals, not you personally, but your society
I'm not from Europe, but I find it interesting that yanks get defensive and immediately make that assumption
But, if you use Amazon, uber eats, door dash or any of that shit, then you're a part of exploiting others so that you can live an easier life
And I will judge you for that and find you wanting
And no, I don't use that shit. I'm not interested in exploiting the whole vulnerable to line th and pockets of the rich for things that aren't difficult for me to do myself
I didn’t say shit about using Amazon and Uber Eats.
I called you out for being judgmental and punching down on people poorer than you.
