    My favourite thing is when very wealthy people say that they worked hard, as if the rest of us are just sitting at home all day.

      That reminds me of this post I saw yesterday:

      Some people have a hard time recognizing privilege, saying "I work hard. I don't get things handed to me." I understand that. Here's how I respond: privilege isn't bonus points for you and your team. It's unfair penalties the other team gets that you don't.

      Privilege isn't the presence of perks and benefits. It's the absence of obstacles and barriers. That's a lot harder to notice. If you have a hard time recognizing your privileges, focus on what you don't have to go through. Let that fuel your empathy and action.

    Remember kids, if you are a multi-cellular organism and have one cancer cell, you have cancer.

      That's.... Just not true. People have benign carcinomas all the time and we don't consider them to "have cancer." It's a bit of a sliding scale but to have cancer generally implies some sort of malignancy or at least the threat of future malignancy.

    If the cancer cell gets enough resources, it promises to make all cells benefit eventually. very-intelligent

    this is funny because it can work in the reverse. a capitalist body where the cancer cells are seen as communist/anarchist activists. going against status quo is not inheritely cancerous obviously

      I mean you'd have to swap the cell superiority/equality talk around, and then it starts to sound strangely fascist.

    What's the story with bad/unfunny comics and Lemmy? 90% of them are pretty terrible and I don't recognise the art style, Reddit stuff was/is much better but there shouldn't be a difference unless the migration is all nerds with no sense of humour, of course, but that would be presumptuous. There's certainly a lot of geeky content compared to Reddit
