Let’s be cautious in assuming that all paywalls protect labor.

Ehhh, there’s a lot of liability in picking a choosing who can attend. Ripe for a discrimination lawsuit.

I’d actually hazard a guess that on average, parents are older these days. I don’t think the issue is really young parents, it’s that parents don’t discipline now. They just shove a screen in front of their kid instead of having a meaningful conversation. Parents now were raised with somewhat instant gratification and it’s even worse with their kids.

How does that solve the problem with unruly children? It just puts them in a new school with more liability than when they were just teachers.

Good thing we learned from that.

I’m assuming that if it is driven by tech, there will be offices for the major companies there. The developers will make it appealing for major tech firms to invest somehow.

I’ve been informed that I misunderstood the question and we can offer to contribute whatever we would like regardless of our qualifications. If that’s the case, I would propose antibiotics.

Ok, I’ll bite.

Why are you qualified to contribute this chapter of a book to kickstart society? I’m totally open, maybe you are a constitutional scholar and I’m way out of line. I would like to understand why you believe that this is your chapter to write.

I’m not sure your comment contributed much either. Just comes across incredibly arrogant to me.

The follies of democracy are mostly due to human behavior. It’s a complex topic and the idea that YOU can distill it into something meaningful is laughable to me. America’s founding fathers spent most of their lives dedicated to this and look where we are now.

It’s cool, you all can downvote me for being realistic. I thought this was an exercise in actual skills one could contribute, not pipe dreams. At some point, humans have to reconcile with human behavior not being congruent with democracy, but sure, you’ll write a chapter and society will figure it out.

Come on, y’all have to be more in touch with reality than this, right?

Considering no one has truly figured out how to make a Democracy survive, I’m impressed this is your contribution. You should probably be writing books before this one, if you have answers.

I sort of agree with you, but not quite. The Russians sacrificed A LOT of their own people to beat the Nazis. The weather, terrain, and German leadership disagreements had a lot to do with it. That being said, Russia really won the war with the Eastern Front and yes the Americans showed up late.

The Russians didn’t beat the Nazis because they were particularly good, unfortunately. They had home field advantage, winters were terrible, and Russia was willing to sacrifice anyone necessary to win. They fight differently over there.

What’s interesting is that articles are longer to keep you on the page for ad revenue. Videos are shorter to feed you a lot of different content quickly to keep you around for ad revenue.

Really, we’re all being programmed by advertising strategies and that’s why we’re fucked.

 

Hello! I’m newer to Lemmy and trying to figure out all the communities. I found a page where I can browse communities (https://browse.feddit.de/), but the subscriber numbers on that site are totally different than what I see when I search for the community in Wefwef.

For example, this community shows a subscriber count of over 17k on the site above, but when I search in Wefwef, I see a much smaller subscriber count. Why is it different? Is Wefwef only counting subscribers on my instance?

Thanks for any information?
