I'm a fan of rehabilitative justice rather than punitive justice. I don't think Elon--or hardly anyone--should be in prison. I just think he should have all of his power and money stripped since he clearly isn't able to wield it for the good of the world, and I don't believe anyone deserves that...

Amen. They're also hoping that automation will be able to mean their palatial bunkers can operate without human beings, forgetting that they need human beings for more than just fetching their food and giving them massages. Bunkers have doors, and when conditions are bad enough, peasants have...

Angela Davis quote from 2024 is relevant: "The state of Israel is the purveyor not only of a settler-colonial project but also of one that actively continues its violent expansion in the 21st century. Over the past months we have witnessed widespread, unnecessary death and extraordinary...

https://openlibrary.org/books/OL2377279M/On_Job I started this on the train this morning. This is one of a bunch of books on my list on liberation theology by Gutiérrez. Curious your take.

Man, I want to live somewhere with gators. I want to keep some chickens in a coop and feed eggs and chickens to gators so they'll let me pet their cute little heads. RIP Morris. Reptile in peace.

He's a dictator. Plain and simple. Just like every single oligarch in the world, he only cares about himself. Him and Musk are no different. Him and Putin are no different. Him and Xi are no different. They are all representative of the way I define evil: wielding one's agency without care of...

Yes. This is fascism. Trump is now arresting judges, and mobilizing the military to be able to arrest dissidents. They've also gotten several law firms to capitulate and promise free legal services for the administration so they can gum up the courts with bogus claims of terrorism and gang...

Why do you have respect for him? What has he ever done to deserve that? He bought his way into PayPal and Tesla. He asked Twitter engineers to email him their best code and is too stupid to know about Github. He dismantled the federal government and--obviously--came no where near his goals...

I would challenge you to do some research into sustainable local agriculture and what would be involved in a transition to an ecoharmonious world. The combination of modern agricultural science and more traditional (often indigenous) methods of agriculture produces some wildly abundant farms and...

My mistake! So sorry--the company sold us products with fiberglass that could easily get into the airpath as demonstrated by several posters in this very thread. Huge, dramatic difference. Like, the difference between intentionally shooting someone in the face and just spraying bullets toward a...

If the future were more evenly distributed, we would be seeing many, many millions and billions of people moving toward a life with minimal work required to actually produce things and keep services running and people would be free to pursue hobbies, interests, education, and art while having...

Cannabis, or companies selling us fiberglass in the airpath and then ghosting the community for a month while some rush to their defense ;)

Capitalism is a hellscape. I wish it were harder to believe there were so many vape stores that are still selling the AE, but that pill is unfortunately very easy to swallow once you remember that all of those businesses care more about money than customer health. How utterly pathetic.

Glorg's facts are right. Your post is still up. I'll take the point to demonstrate that you explicitly lied by claiming that Glorg was "some stoner on the internet" when they literally quoted the post you typed. It isn't even taken out of context--simply quoting something of yours. If calling...

I think I have Ublock Origin set up as a free extension in Firefox and it prevents adds from appearing in the first place, so folks can look into that too!
