Sure, and maybe it’s part of what pushes us to something better, but to act like it won’t have effects is not helpful.

Right now, a crisis for capitalism is a crisis for all of us, because that’s where we live.

The Internet in 1995 was an amazing place. You could find so many scholarly articles and weird funny sites, but every place to chat was full of creepy old men trying to meet kids. Which we thought was hilarious until we got a bit older and realized some of our friends were trying to meet them back. You’d accidentally find all manner of horrific shit, but there was information available. It wasn’t all true but it was almost all honest.

Which is wildly different from today where it feels like almost none of it’s honest. Even the stuff that’s true is only selectively true and trying to manipulate us into a worse place.

In the nineties fox news was strong and we were already experiencing a lot of it’s style of selective truth coupled with outright lies from other places, too. On the Internet at the time it was a lot easier to avoid that stuff.

I’m up, and it’s making me nervous because that it doesn’t make sense to me.

Presumably

Woah, I think I’ll make myself some rims

I once admitted to a professor after a particular class that I was too intent on looking engaged that day and forgot to actually engage with the material. She was heartbroken!

Maybe you haven’t noticed, but it doesn’t matter in our current society. We are even willing to vote for the billionaires who do the most heinous things

IIRC They never did. They voted to, but then increased police funding before implementing it.

For some reason I always think the Jacobin is Catholic… So I was quite surprised that they weren’t suggesting supporting Republicans.

Excellent article and hard agree. Labor needs to get non D/R candidates elected at this point.

Nah I was kind of a jerk.

They should be available worldwide. It doesn’t bother me that it costs so much to get a prescription and measurement for a proper fit, But it should not be $150 on top of that for the glasses. I don’t want to pick out my frames and woul happily take the cheap frames with the precut lenses every time.

I’m embarrassed about who my wife dated when she was 19. She tells these stories and all I can think is why didn’t you dump me?

Well if that’s in there, 12 year old me definitely missed it.

My problem with loops is that the whole short video feed works because there’s effectively unlimited videos and an algorithm pushing it. I don’t want to create videos I just want to see a billion videos that are somewhat relevant.

They pretty clearly want fascism. Just not under Trump

Yeah in small doses they can work, generally it’s just better to talk to them

I chuckled once reading the story, but if it was my kid I’d be furious for a day and think it was hilarious for weeks, including that day

Punishments are like the least effective way to convince/teach someone

I love that they think we can nuke our allies a dozen times and still have them as allies
