Basically the communist perspective on unemployed workers starting their own business.

Lesrid ,

Can confirm. I struggled to remember the name of the ancient website vampirefreaks after the concept came up in conversation and out of the big search engines only Bing's flavor of chatGPT could tell me what I was looking for.

Lesrid ,

Because the top text should read "when climate change instead of climate activists...". It confused me for half a minute too

Lesrid ,

Which is the delusion that the US's traffic engineers based all of their decisions on 60 years ago.

"This'll be fine hardly anybody lives out here"

Lesrid ,

Yes if your solution is to throw literal children at the problem you should quit while you're ahead.

Lesrid ,

I'll have to whip out the color picker to know Australia's rating for Tenerife

Lesrid , (edited )

Interesting how colloquially connotatively "earn it" is more positive than "deserve it"

Lesrid ,

This is the largest reason why it has to remain illegal. Capitalism will find a way to make it marketable.

Lesrid ,

This is consistent with my experience. I didn't have a paralysis demon, but I was convinced my ceiling fan was plotting to kill me. Not that it was going to fall and hurt but that it was scheming to have me assassinated and would take matters into its own hands if necessary.

Lesrid ,

Used to see larger slugs in FL too.

Lesrid ,

Yeah I was outside the edge of totality last eclipse and the first thing I noticed was how much brighter the traffic lights looked. It's weird how my eyes adjusted to perceive the darker day as normal daylight but both the sun and other lights seemed so much brighter.

Lesrid ,

Just make sure to wear gloves

Lesrid ,

In my part of the US $20/hr is enough to rent a one bedroom apartment and subsist on lentils

Lesrid ,

So phisticated

Lesrid ,

Wow is that really what the Apple campus looks like? That's hilarious. Like if Nintendo HQ was a big warp pipe.

Lesrid ,

It's true, women worked many jobs in the past especially if they were poor. Feminism is mainly a tool to normalize the femme CEO, the femme worker is as old as England.

Lesrid ,

If they don't, they're ML. If they do they're M.

Lesrid ,

Most MLs I know extoll the achievements of actually existing socialism though, so while that may be true for Lenin I don't think it is very accurate to Marxist-Leninists.

Dirty clothes & dead kids ( sh.itjust.works )

alt-text: there’s laundry to do and a genocide to stop. I have to eat better and also avoid a plague. my rent went up $150. I’ll need to pick up more shifts. Twenty people died in Rafah this morning and every major news outlet is stretching the limits of passive voice to suggest whole families may have leaped up through the...

Lesrid ,

They are bad though. On the one hand a Palestinian lost all 60 members of his family and several thousands died. On the other hand a Palestinian would have lost all 60 members of his family and several more thousands would have died. It is hard for that Palestinian to appreciate the difference and infinitely harder for his family to appreciate the difference.

Lesrid ,

Because the US has several million more people living below a certain level of income, experiencing a daily misery but it's somewhat excusable because the ratio is smaller.

Lesrid ,

His speech would look like the SSX Tricky announcer. Sic! Sic! Sic! Tight! Tight! Tight!

Lesrid ,

Same. Too Good Too Bad is too good for me to go a month without hearing.

The frequency and duration of ad breaks is beginning to make me feel like I’m in that black mirror episode where they had to pay to stop ads from constantly playing. ( kbin.social )

I definitely consume too much dystopian content to be a fair dystopian barometer, but the sheer amount of ads being pushed my way is starting to make me feel legitimately anxious. It feels like a techno-dystopia where all of the neat and artistic elements have been extracted and then ground into dust for our corporate overlords....

Lesrid ,

It's only a stand in for UBI if everyone is a content creator.

EDIT: Fake screenshot about some facts from the Palworld development, very loosely based on a really interesting blog post from the dev that's linked in the post body. ( programming.dev )

UPDATE: So, apparently it's mostly fake, taken from this article [translation] (where they even mention some kind of VCS)....

Lesrid ,

I haven't touched SVN since my mod installing spree in Garry's Mod.

Lesrid ,

It's amusing to me that Japan is somewhat of a forecast to economic crises and social obstacles for much of the world. They were grappling with sub-prime lending fiascos before it was generalized to the rest of the world too

Lesrid ,

I'm also trying to find the angle on it. Like with my ISP I guess someone could have my password but not necessarily my address? So from the ISP site they could peek at my address??? I'm not even sure it has my address unobfuscated but I figure it must somewhere, like "view this bill".

Overdraft fees could drop to as low as $3 under new Biden proposal ( apnews.com )

The cost to overdraw a bank account could drop to as little as $3 under a proposal announced by the White House, the latest effort by the Biden administration to combat fees it says pose an unnecessary burden on American consumers, particularly those living paycheck to paycheck....

Lesrid ,

My credit union isn't great, but one time I was $600 short on my tuition payment and they let the transaction through and gave me a call later that day and asked when I expected to pay it back. I told them two weeks and they said "okay". I'm not even sure I was charged anything.

Lesrid ,

Good on your parents. Credit Unions can't do everything for you that a bank can, but that's why you just get an account with them for a specific purpose, and use the credit union for everything else.

I was the one to liberate my parents from the fee-laden Bank of America experience.

Lesrid ,

Behold the power of the church of Mars

Lesrid ,

There's gotta be a Grevious voice model Anon could call her on Discord with.

Lesrid ,

They're colluding to inflate the price.

Lesrid ,

Usually percussion is where it's easiest to notice the difference. But typically people prefer the relatively more compressed sound!

Lesrid ,

Why can't she change the subject?

Lesrid ,

It's natural to enjoy the work. It's the hours, useless leaders and chronically, systemically inadequate compensation that we can only hope to resolve by progressing beyond capitalism.

Lesrid ,

I feel like tankies and anarchists proliferate on social media so well (relative to communists) because it's simple for them to comment something "fresh" on a piece of news whereas communists say the same correct things over-and-over and just get dismissed as class reductionist or champagne socialist. Tankies (and paradoxically anarchists) get to pick a side in the Russo-Ukraine invasion and vomit a myriad of poor excuses in defense of their position while communists can only advocate for revolutionary defeatism.

Lesrid ,

People classify them as libleft and authleft but in the end they both carry water for capital. Anarchists are perhaps more articulate than libertarians but they both fundamentally agree that it's the right ideals/laws that make society prosper rather than the structure of the economy. Tankies think communism is when the state has a monopoly on labor.
