Today I Learned
What did you learn today? Share it with us!
We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Could have? Yes. Should have? No.
People who are OK with others getting ripped off and having terrible conditions just because they did in the past are scum of the Earth. Literally, they CHOOSE to perpetuate problems. Problems that they identified as problems.
Fuck them, and fuck anyone who defends them. They are literally a detriment to the world.
Edit: Keep in mind, I worded it after reading some of their later replies. They are quite comfortable giving others less because they had a poor upbringing. Preeeetty sure honorable people take the exact opposite lesson when they live through it and learn that squalor shouldn't be acceptable for anyone to deal with.
I said I'm my opinion. I do not agree with that person at all, but to resort to calling them name is a bit far, again in my opinion.
If you want to convince the other of the error of their ways adding insults is not helping getting your point across.
I too read further and was surprised how their poor background somehow formed this rather intense opinion. But that was due to others being more like and asking questions, rather than yelling curse words.
I find disagreement can be conveyed more politely, without losing out on effect. And generally getting mad at people on the internet is rather fruitless and vapid.
Yeah this guy just loves to punch down and doesn't get why they aren't making friends but they have everyone else that's angry happy to root for them because they also want to be angry. It won't work to bring anything together and will just isolate people further.
What a waste of anger.
There's no need to coddle shit people with shit opinions.
Good. Maybe the social consequences of being a shit person will slap them in the face one day.
What an utterly pathetic projection from you. I am not trying to make friends nor am I trying to change their mindset.
They are someone who thinks their suffering justifies others' suffering. If you think that makes them intelligent or worthy or respect, that is a flaw of yourself and your self alone.
Then what are you doing other than pumping your chest and yelling at people? Some, that agree with you?
If you don't want conversation then why bother being here other than to pretend you are doing something shouting at the nothing in your phone?
Pitiful.
So you are just wasting time screaming your opinion into the void of the Internet and expecting nothing back? Why waste the time? Why does it piss you off so much that I respond? You could just stop. I'm expecting another person at the other end you don't seem to accept that anyone else is human.
You talk of wasting time but continue to respond to someone who has already told you they don't care about your opinion... How much of this is about how offended your dumb ass is and not actually about what I said?
For the last time. Stop projecting. You are fucking pitiful.
Nah, just watching as you spiral in pointless rage. I came to the Internet for conversation and interaction and so I'm getting exactly what I want out of this. You are getting controlled by your anger to keep responding to me.
I mean seriously look at the language each of us are using. For me it's like talking to a crazy person from the safe side of a mirror.
I don't care. But I think the conversation you keep having while refusing to have is funny.
So, again, why do you bother? Why come here? Just to push out your chest? You think everyone is projecting but you keep yelling at a mirror. Pointless.
LoL still came back huh? Really want to prove you are superior with the final word huh?
Apparently I was worth your time though.
I'm having a great time fucking with this guy on another thread. He just won't stop lol.
And final word again. You should stop projecting.
