Is there a direct translation for the word “fuck” in Spanish? 

I have heard this insult used in English, just not ever condensed into one single word. Bravo.

some people view censorship as an infringement of their rights, and, sometimes, they’re right.

some people see reasonable regulation of speech/behavior (especially in communal spaces) as a personal affront and a judgement of the views the hold and positions they espouse— often because their speech/behavior is seen as offensive and unacceptable by society. it reveals not only a deep insecurity, but a acknowledgement that even these people know, deep-down, that what they’re doing is unacceptable and wrong, and that their defense of it is disingenuous because their true motives are, in fact, malicious and hateful.

I don’t know this person, but I would speculate that, when OP is angry, they like to vent their frustrations at the boogeyman that their peer group has commonly villainized.

it has been my experience that those who most commonly cry “no censorship!” are those who like to express hate-speech. they also have been taught to blame “democrats” for their woes. there’s a lot of correlation here that I would bet is causative.

I thought lemmy was anti-censorship

where in the world did you get this idea? each instance has a clearly-posted ToS/code of conduct in the sidebar, as do most individual communities.

if you dislike the rules on one instance, you’re free to find another or start your own. many do.

he said your car could earn money for you. he didn’t say you’d be it’s pimp.

No, for real. Disney makes more money from parks than they do from movies.

yes, the parks pull in big cash for Disney, but it’s what they sell there that’s the real money-maker for Disney and always has been: merchandising.

I have a brother who lives in Orlando and works for a contracting company as a civil engineer. He did some work for them maybe a decade ago and they are working on this one building in the Magic Kingdom, on Main Street near the entrance that had this huge shop in it. One of those gift shops that everyone stops at right before they leave that has souvenirs and merch from every franchise, of every character, of any damned Disney thing you can think of just so they can shake you down one last time before you leave the park for the day.

So, they’re doing some hurricane repair to the building and it’s some major work. They’ve shut down the entire building to do major structural repair, and he’s one of the engineers telling the park manager team that they need to shut the store for a day or two in order to replace some critical support something or other. Well, the Disney people weren’t having that. They made it clear that the store could not be closed, not for a day, not for an hour, not for a minute because it, by far, was the best moneymaker at any of the parks, reaping just titanic amounts of cash— far more than all the parks or hotels combined, in fact. My brother and the other engineers are trying, pleading, with the Disney guys telling them that not only may it not be possible to do it any other way than going into the store to do the work, but that if they could do it another way, it could triple the work time and budget. They didn’t care.

The Disney guys basically told the engineering team, and later the site mangers and up the chain at the contracting company, that they didn’t care how the long the project took or how much it cost or even if they had to tear down the whole structure around the store and rebuild it— they were not, under any circumstances, to disturb the smooth operation of the store one tiny bit. One single day of operation made so much money that it’s ridiculous, so the Disney people just didn’t care what had to be done to keep it open. They were like, “we’d close all three parks before we’d close that one store. Get it done.” And they did, several months and a crazy amount over budget, but Disney was happy, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

so, yeah, the parks make tons of cash, that’s true, but nothing compares to the money they make selling Disney-branded merch.

edit: spelling

I’ve seen the beat-up Toyotas. haven’t seen any 100k trucks except, sometimes, one that’s not actually being used for work. all shiny because it belongs to the big boss who doesn’t lift a finger because he sits in an office all day. they’re all for show.

and tradesmen who pull in that kind of cash are usually smart enough to spend their money wisely on a more practical work vehicle than to waste their money on a pretty one.

rich office dude doesn’t have to worry about his little-dick-compensator getting all beat-up on the job.

old, reliable, stable SuSE. cheers! 🍻

awww, how heartwarming
