  • Very much so this. Been free of direct bosses for a decade ( clients are the replacement bosses though).

    But I can fire my bosses, and have once. And I have total control about my workplace ( home).

    There are many downsides, it’s not all good. I think the trade off is worth it

  • When people have limited choices to vote on, voting for a or b does not make them like a or b.

    It just means it’s a “boiling the frog situation” when gradually changing the goalposts makes people not notice the real issues.

    The average American really has not changed that much from the past generations, but the candidates that are allowed to run in either party have drifted rightward.

    If I want to vote for green, and I can choose only on a greyscale, my interpretation of which shade of gray might be closest to green might be a personal choice, highly disputed.

  • A frightening but unlikely happenstance to me and mine. A lot of people experience a lot of things.

    When there is a population close to half a billion, it’s a thousand times more likely that a bad traffic accident will devastate

  • For most people, except sub Saharan Africans, we are also talking about our ancestors when talking about neanderthals. Most of those bones we see on museums are probably the great x grandfathers of many people walking past.

    Obviously we have no idea what happened over huge parts of deep human pasts, Neanderthals were a sparse population to begin with, and absorbing their people into the rest of humanity just by fucking is certainly a solution

  • Not so sure, except for a last few holdouts in Spain about 40k years ago, who were probably whipped out by natural catastrophe along with regular humans in that area.

    I think we kept diluting their gene pool by having sex with them and out breeding them.

  • Maybe lemmy will grow over time to include more types of people.

    Social unrest may evolve this network faster than expected, in particular ways that are not foreseen. So, in my mind there are two paths for lemmy. A stable growth or chaotic .

    Edit : unrest in any country that has a lot of lemmy users if alternative social networks clamp down or are unsafe to use
