Lol.

Rather than argue with people like you (which is a waste of time), I’d settle for a setting.

Gonna block you now.

🥱

Sorry, you need to brush up on your rhetoric and reading comprehension.

Might want to take a remedial English course at your local community college.

Gonna block you now.

What are you doing to help any of those people?

For one, not argue against them like you’re doing right now. Like it or not, I can’t solve these problems myself. Discussion and sharing of ideas is necessary to put solutions into action and change culture.

Sorry that needs to be spelled out for you, but you’re clearly someone who thinks wealth should never be criticized.

Gonna block you now. Goodbye.

You mean… the source? Lol.

Anyways, gonna block ya now.

Have a good day.

Yeah. That’s definitely working harder than most people have throughout history for less.

My bad.

the first 5 of which never took off, but also consistently failed to drive me into bankruptcy.

Lol, don’t blame your failed business ventures on me. If you think ‘hard work’ is all it takes to make a successful business, I’m sorry, that’s just a testament to why 5 of your businesses failed.

and I’m finally not having to work 18 hour days 7 days a week.

Let me guess, you’re also living a higher quality of life than the vast majority of people ever to live while working considerably less. And here you are, still finding ways to complain.

Please take your complaints to the people subsistence farming or picking through landfills for a living. All your post does is prove my point that you don’t understand what hard work really is, or what the word need really means.

You just described design trends then said they have very little to do with design trends.

Then there is no discussion. My argument ever since your reply has been that the phenomenon that you pointed out can only happen in major cities: people working full-time but can’t afford living quarters.

Yeah, of course a homeless person without a job needs more money. I’m not referring to them because there’s honestly no point to. You knew I wasn’t referring to them, which is why you had to specify some of the people there were working full-time jobs.

I’m referring to the people working jobs who feel they should get paid more while people around the world work harder for less. Those are the ones I do not take seriously.

You, the liar that you are, posted a picture of people living in tents then said some of them have full-time jobs? How much is some? And to those some, I am specifically referring that their money would go further outside of major cities.

Anyways. This entire argument is in bad faith. I can tell you’re the kind of person who thinks more money is the solution to all working class problems. It isn’t.

Gonna block you now.

Here’s the major difference: we’re not just talking about tent cities. You specifically said those were people with full-time jobs that couldn’t afford living quarters.

Can you prove that the tent cities outside of major cities are primarily occupied by full-time workers?

There you go moving goalposts and trying to distort reality. This is why I don’t trust you.

so why are you continuing?

I was responding to this:

so I’m not sure why you’re still arguing about it.

How about you stop asking me questions or pretending to be confused so I don’t have any further explanations to give?

Are you going to reply to this and be like “why are you still continuing”? Lol.

🥱

Because you’re lying and I’m going to point it out as such.

I don’t hold you above that behavior since you posted a picture of people in a major city then when it’s pointed out they’re in a major city you conveniently say “I don’t live in a major city and it’s the same way.”

I wasn’t born yesterday.

You may live outside of a major city, but then you don’t have the problems from the picture you posted and the explanation you gave.

Cool. Then you don’t have a significant issue of people working fulltime but can’t afford living quarters.

Do the people in the picture you posted live in a major city? Cause that’s who I was referring to.

because the rent is too high.

Move out of the major city. Nobody is entitled to live there. Supply and demand.

I don’t believe you.

Yep. It’s called ‘tunnel vision’ and ‘projection.’

You need to understand that most people are not software engineers and solutions that seem appropriate for you may not be appropriate for them.

Try to think of a time when you weren’t so far down the computing rabbit hole and understand most people aren’t. You need to appeal to them if you want to design something well.

If you’re only appealing to software engineers and it’s not an application specific to software engineering, then you’re designing your product poorly.

Your comment just supports my assertion that users are expected to lower their standards to make developers’ jobs easier. It’s a backwards way of thinking, but this generation doesn’t really seem to understand what’s going on around them.

They’re routinely proud to lower their standards so others can have it easier.

Magnitude matters, and the resources wasted doing this could have a legitimate impact.

about posting on Lemmy.

Lol. Settle down there and think about why this doesn’t make any rational sense.

This is the “don’t be depressed, starving children in Africa have it worse” kind of argument. Please don’t.

No it’s not, and you’re resorting to analogies because you can’t argue against the topic at hand. Please try to stay on topic.

Funny watching people like you defend wasting money on electric dresses while kids go without food, water, electricity, education, and shelter. You’re trying to save face because you like contributing to the problem but don’t want to admit it.

It’s okay, I come across people like you all the time. You’re the kind of person who thinks those who have more, deserve more, and those who have less, deserve less.

Tell what?

Tell on people who are shoplifting.

All of it’s happening out in the open

Then what did you mean by:

As long as it’s just “shoplifting”

To me, it seems like you were saying that if you saw people “on a bike with a trash bag, load it up, roll out” then you would snitch, since this comment chain is about not telling on people who are stealing from corporations.

Please correct me if I’m wrong.

Umm… what?

At the very bottom, in big bold letters, it says “NOT USING SCROLL WHEEL” when someone using the scrollbar.

Lol. It feels like ya’ll just say dumb shit to get a reply.

What do you mean? I was talking about how the dress is a waste of resources, then he started talking about artists and musicians.
