And the tuition is a way to exclude (with few exceptions for publicity sake) "the poors" from entering. This way the capitalist elites can keep living in their bubbles and use it as a means of making connections to further their businesses

That's why they had her dress as Marilyn Monroe in American Gods

Because underpaid is better than starving to death

That's immediately what came to mind when I saw it

The couple of times I have decided to switch to Plasma I somehow get pulled back to GNOME. Like, I tried out earlier Plasma 5 on my system76 laptop and then s76 announced Pop!_OS. Then I tried again when I came across Nitrux which was essentially a heavily customized Plasma. Then I got a Librem 5 which uses phosh, based on GNOME.

I really liked it though, and have thought about trying Plasma Mobile.

A friend of mine in college pirated a japanese show which included the ads. The first episode seemed to have subs with legitimate translations. The rest of the season the subtitle author had fun and changed them to make fun of the ads. It was pretty funny.

There were no quizzes though...

having spent time fighting fires is probably an amazing thing to have on a resume, and will probably open doors for them that were otherwise closed.

It certainly sounds good, but unfortunately many of them are not able to get careers as firefighters because the crime they were incarcerated for excludes them from getting hired. Democracy Now did a good story on it a few years ago: https://www.democracynow.org/2018/9/12/a_new_form_of_slavery_meet

It looks like it may have been updated too: https://www.democracynow.org/2025/1/14/california_wildfires_incarcerated_firefighters

I certainly agree that reasonably there should be no need to go against humanity when resources are shared collectively and needs are met. However, humans don't always act in a reasonable way, not to mention sociopaths and psychopaths that may place short term gain ahead of long term stability.

The only way to try and get everyone to follow communism is through force, which requires a state, that is true. This is why I prefer anarcho-communism, where there is no state enforcing it.

It is also true under anarchism people have the option to not cooperate peacefully. As you said, humans are still humans at the end of the day and some will take advantage of others or hoard resources.

But I don't think that is reason enough to not at least try to get there. Because under capitalism those same issues still exist, only people are expected to be okay with losing their autonomy and giving up their resources for the sake of a wealthy ruling class.

In Lemmy, and I would say in the Fediverse in general, the population skews left. That means there are more terms to describe the spectrum. Mainstream media and social media label anyone centrist and towards the left as liberals. And of course the Far Right labels the same people as socialists scum.

My rubric for here in the fediverse is as follows. Liberals are generally referred to as capitalists and/or believe capitalism is still the best economic system that only needs minor reforms, along with social justice reforms. Tankies are generally the ones that want to enforce the social and economic reforms with an iron fist, even against the populace at large if necessary. Leftists are generally anarcho-something (socialist/communist), and believe major change is needed beyond the system we have in place now.

Again, that’s my rubric, and I’m sure other people have their own.
