At this point it’s a cultural signifier. In other words, they know it looks like shit but they are virtue signaling.

Maybe this is why we shouldn’t have AI write articles. Does the drone have a solar panel on the other end of the cable?

Sorry but this has not been my experience, but even if it was, I don’t see how that’s a “man” problem. We are not here to talk about how women should change, but men. You either accept the situation and make the best of it, or you look for excuses not to engage in the subject.

I mean there is a duality in patriarchy, that each issue that touches on a woman also touches on a man. If you don’t understand how feminism is two halves a whole, and how it is actually a mirror for us to investigate our own masculinity, then I don’t know how to help you on your path to liberation.

Capitalism is that abusive boyfriend that keeps bringing up your super abusive ex so you know how lucky you are to have him.

I am a leaf on the wind, watch how I soar

It’s small potatoes really. The real money is in insider trading.

Sure, I’m on board as long as the fix isn’t to cut other social safety nets.

I mean it depends on the context of how UBI is going to get paid for. If it is funded by a wealth tax then I am on board. But that’s not how the powerful proponents of UBI say it should be funded. Andrew Yang would have us take it out of Social Security to pay for it but you don’t hear him say we should uncap Social Security contributions.

AI is maturing into what exactly?

How to alienate your daughter:

It’s not a conspiracy, it is just the path of least resistance. Which is why capitalism is the problem.

My TikTok feed is rather radical, which is a non+option on all the other corporate platforms.

The contradictory belief that voters who backed Trump are too stupid to understand what they voted for, but nevertheless deserve pain

This so much. The “voters are too stupid” narrative defangs any attempt to talk about how our systems misinform (or don’t inform) voters.

Seems to me there is a big difference between attacking someone’s identity and claiming the earth is flat or marijuana is bad. The fact the mods don’t seem to address this is concerning.

The wealthy can’t hide from the Children of Kali.

The badge lets others know you’re a masochistic

Brazil actually held their coup actors accountable.

Is joining a union an individual action or a social circumstance?

I guess my point is that environment (social circumstance) and individual behavior is a gradient. Drawing a clear line between the two so that “individual behavior” is the largest share might actually be unhealthy framing as it takes out of focus how an individual might improve their circumstances.

Individual behavior basically includes what kind of job you’re working, because that definitely impacts much of those other behaviors like sleep and quality of food.
