One other thing I haven’t seen mentioned is selling ice cream is only a sustainable business for a few months out of the year in many places. Whereas you can sell burgers/dogs/etc year-round. But yeah, as far as I know they’ve always sold fast food - their burgers were a fave of mine when I was a kid in the 70s.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•As far as I can ascertain, Peter Thiel* is the 103rd richest man on the planet, with a reported net worth of $20.5 bn US. How and why does his influence reach farther than so many others?English
11·1 年前I think a lot of it is that he spends much more strategically and with lots of strings attached. He also does a lot of work to basically indoctrinate folks who aren’t big players and fund them until they are - JD Vance being a prime example. He’s basically developed into a cult leader for rich wannabes and ends up owning their asses.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Now that PewDiePie is on his Linux/engineering arc, could he help boost the Fediverse?English
61·1 年前Like all of his fanboys, you first attempted to minimize his history by saying it was all about him saying the “N” word. When I said it was actually more than that and provided info about the most egregious example, you said “oh, that was so long ago!”. I provide info on another incident from 3 years ago, and you’re complaining about how I’m trying to castrate the guy.
If you don’t like factual statements about his history of behavior and the obvious patterns, maybe don’t idolize an asshole? But don’t come into public spaces and try and sell it as “Oh, he just said a naughty word once. Isn’t weird how upset people were about that? He was young/it was a long time ago/he’s changed now.”

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Now that PewDiePie is on his Linux/engineering arc, could he help boost the Fediverse?English
51·1 年前Yeah, because there hasn’t been anything since then, right?

Or does the counter automatically get reset every time there’s another apology video? There have been so many, after all.
The lengths some of you all go to in order to defend a racist, Nazi-cosplaying edgelord who makes fun of people with disabilities is a little insane.

112·1 年前“Kjellberg tacitly compares himself to Hitler, gives a Nazi salute, and shows a series of clips of Nazi imagery, including a crowd of Nazis saluting, Nazi soldiers marching, and footage of Hitler Youth.”
Yeah, if you don’t see “nazi” after that, that’s on you I think.

World News@lemmy.world•India-US trade deal: India disputes Trump claim it will charge 'no tariffs'English
3·1 年前Great photo on the article. Is Trump aging super fast now? He looks significantly older than he did even back in January.
Black gospel music has often been the only Christian-oriented music that really did it for me. A lot of blues, soul, etc was created by folks who got their start in black gospel music, and used what they learned there in secular genres. Hugely influential in so many different types of music.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Which actor did not have a single bad film?English
93·1 年前The Man With One Red Shoe is much worse than Joe Versus the Volcano. And if made for TV movies count, you have to throw in Mazes and Monsters. Oh and Bonfire of the Vanities was a famous flop. And Volunteers was pretty bad. People forget how bad some of his early stuff was.
Hell, both Forrest Gump and Castaway were tremendously overrated. Also the unwatchable Cloud Atlas and the stupid Dan Brown movies.
<suddenly dawns on me that Tom Hanks makes a lot of bad movies>

6·1 年前…Trump may escalate pressure on allies by leveraging America’s financial dominance
“America’s financial dominance”?! Unless he has a time machine, not quite sure how that’s going to happen.

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK Snopes.com was taken over by investorsEnglish
11·2 年前In casual conversation IRL, if someone made this claim, I’d assume good faith. Or even in a reply to an existing discussion of Snopes. But OP decided to make a post without verifying their information and then went through and defended that take in the comments when people explained the actual facts to them. This wasn’t done in good faith, it would appear.

381·2 年前This has the same energy as the folks running around doing a disinfo op on Wikipedia. None of this is true and either OP wildly misunderstood the situation or they’re intentionally being deceitful.


I think you’re confusing social media and late stage capitalism. Social media hasn’t done anything to anyone, capitalism has used social media to further its own ends.
