Same! As soon as I was forced to use the official Reddit app over Sync, I jumped ship

Ruined my day tbh

Hahahaha... Fuck.

"Hmmm things seem to be worse since Trump was elected. Maybe if we go even more right wing, they'll get better?"

MAGA crowds, probably

I'd love to open the news one evening and not feel like we're another step closer to the apocalypse.

Honestly, fuck Trump. Where my Luigis at?

I'm reminded of a comment I saw on Reddit which I saved a while back. Can't remember who posted it, but I often think about it:

Entrepreneurship is like one of those carnival games where you throw darts or something.

Middle class kids can afford one throw. Most miss. A few hit the target and get a small prize. A very few hit the center bullseye and get a bigger prize. Rags to riches! The American Dream lives on.

Rich kids can afford many throws. If they want to, they can try over and over and over again until they hit something and feel good about themselves. Some keep going until they hit the center bullseye, then they give speeches or write blog posts about "meritocracy" and the salutary effects of hard work.

Poor kids aren't visiting the carnival. They're the ones working it.

Edit: Looks like it was originally a Hacker News comment reposted on Reddit

Awesome, my first Lemmy silver! Thank you 😊

Thanks for the detailed response. That is absolutely wild

Is this true? Honestly it wouldn't surprise me but I'd never heard this before

Fuck Spez ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

Thanks! ✌️
