Love this is what we spend our resources on while children go without food, water, electricity, education, and shelter.

You could say the same thing about posting on Lemmy. Or a new game in your favorite RPG series coming out. Or Starbucks’ newest coffee flavor. Or any number of other comforts.

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

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.

This is such a SJW argument. What are you doing to help any of those people? Adobe does charitable giving and employee matching for donations/volunteered time for up to 10k/month per employee. last year Adobe gave over 6 million dollars to various charities as a result of this program. They’re only able to do that if they are making money and innovating.

I’m not saying Adobe is a great company or anything, but they have done and are doing more to help disadvantaged people than you’ll likely ever be able to accomplish, and their ability to do that is dependent on their business being successful.

Is this a waste of resources? Perhaps, but they aren’t responsible for solving the world’s issues, any they are contributing. What have you done? From what I understand, you could contribute more to the people you’re describing by applying and working for Adobe rather than criticizing them.

I think the richer shouldn’t be buying the dress so I get you there. But I read the comment about the technology being created in the first place. Advancements are going to come regardless. Yeah there is suffering but not much we can do on people creating new things

The people who designed this were paid to design this. I presume that at least some of them have children. Therefore, resources spent to invent this did go to give children food, water, shelter, etc.

You’re welcome.

Yeah, they could’ve done something else useful for society and still support their families.

You’re welcome.

For what? Your mental gymnastics? Lol.

Look at the authoritarian communist, dictating how other people must live their lives.

Let’s round up all the artists and musicians too, because they’re not feeding kids or something.

Despite what the GOP would have you believe, The US and EU have actually achieved post-scarcity, China is close. You should be fighting for post-inequality because that is what is holding back the rest of the world, as well as millions of citizens of the US and EU.

Yes, we’re just passing a bunch of money around at the top.

It’s why I almost never take Americans seriously when they say they ‘need’ more money. They don’t know what that word means, or what hard work really is.

Sure. We don’t work hard. Talk to me when you have spent 25 years in American kitchens to fund your own businesses, the first 5 of which never took off, but also consistently failed to drive me into bankruptcy. The 6th one finally works for me, and I’m finally not having to work 18 hour days 7 days a week.

Oh really? Americans don’t ever need more money? How about these Americans? They’re doing fine on whatever they can panhandle from people leaving the Walmart parking lot and dumpster food?

Oh… and some of those people? Full-time employed.

Capitalists doing capitalist shit.

Of course they aren’t ok. They may think they are, but they are having to recognize that while the system may have worked for them, and me, it certainly doesn’t for most people and they can’t handle that.
