@p @captain_arepa @sullybiker @sun @pettanko IIRC, that post in particular was a DM.

@sun @captain_arepa @sullybiker @p @pettanko yes (this was all I could find also idk why Windows is blowing out the contrast probably some HDR shit I could not bother fixing)

@p @captain_arepa @sullybiker @pettanko There was another one called democracy.town as well full of superheroes

@Junes no though that would be funny just a list of sexualities to which I put down the equivalent of "not answering this shit"

why does a company want to know who I want to have sex with you do not need to know this

@nicholas @nuko kind of funny that two of the people who were always against Malthusianism when it came to population were Marx and Engels.
I guess Drew just never read theory

@nuko So you're saying what Israel is doing in Gaza isn't for territorial expansion or just genociding people you don't like but they're attempting to solve climate change (this is a joke if it weren't obvious)

The paragraph before the screenshot mentions another pretty common "climate doomer" [someone who thinks climate change is an apocalyptic event] talking point where refugees from the "global south" (they mean black people from Africa and South Americans usually) come to the "global north" (they mean Europe and North America specifically usually) which if the climate did ever get that bad is possibly true but it's kind of surprising he just misses the economic sized hole in his argument that he himself makes earlier about a tech workers union (that will never happen because the US and most other Anglo countries except maybe Australia have been mind raped to see unions as wholly evil).

I feel like I'm ranting myself about this when it doesn't matter but I have this week off so it's either this, Oblivion or watching more episodes of the Apothecary Diaries

@nuko I've never understood the leftist "fascism is capitalism in decay" bit you can criticise actual doctrinal fascism for many things but calling it "capitalist" just seems so reductive that it makes whatever else you criticise also look shallow.
I even agree with his point about the wealthy/powerful doing anything that they can for self-preservation he just puts it in the dumbest "fascism is authoritarianism I don't like" way possible

Also unrelated but how does fascism actually solve climate change

I love finance “”””””influencers”””””” predicting 7000 of the past 2 economic recessions this time it will definitely happen just 2 more weeks before there is an official recession

Even if the statistics would actually show a recession they would probably just cook the books so there is not one, see all of the jobs reports they continuously revise down

@bajax @RustyCrab Imo a lot of issues with passwords would be resolved if we normalized password managers like 20 years ago and also got rid of stupid "security practices" like password rotation
Mandatory 2fa helps with stupid passwords because if the password is easy to guess as long as the 2fa isn't compromised you're still fine-ish

People will always fall for scams because it's very easy to get manipulated by someone who is charismatic and tells you exactly what you want to hear. Even if you tell them that anything involving cryptocurrency is 100% a scam (which is honestly not far off from the truth) if someone tells them this is a totally legitimate thing and tricks them especially when they're emotionally easy to trick they're still going to fall for it. It's hard to prevent human nature but people try (and fail)

@bajax Queue Zizek saying the word ideology 9 quadrillion times in his very unique voice.

Even overcoming the "us and them" it's hard to be objective on anything other than the weather or the results of a sport competition or election because language itself usually carries connotations (the classic terrorist/freedom fighter comes to mind along with the more modern rioter/protester) that are difficult to overcome

Objective journalism is a myth when people say they want objective journalism they just want someone to write something that comes to the conclusion they agree with by means they agree with

if Ferrari wins Le Mans again for the third year in a row I will cry

vote for the samme party and we will cut the cancer from society yes that also includes myself

@waifu They're playing a lovely game of missile tennis

@fwc got it thank you fren

Did something happen yet

@binkle She hosts it in Jerusalem she's fine for now

@get If they're a sane broker usually it's a little lessthan the amount you have as collateral. I hope to see either your catastrophic loss or extreme gains (there is no in between) soon
