Even then I leave my view stick verted.

Really cool Futurama shoutout. I recognized it as well, when they are doing a rotating shot of the Planet Express building. Family Guy was quick to pick ut up as well. Kinda jarring, but also quite cool.

Don’t worry, it’ll start getting better and that feeling will not stop. It’s worth sticking out, maybe even trying a few flavors (Mint is a tasty one, though).

I’ve been FOSSing it up since just before the pandemic, and I have yet to utilize most of the convenience Linux provides. Maybe the best way to put it, is that I didn’t realize that I was in a cramped clown car back in my windows days, and now I’m still in that wierd, double-up position in my new, solarpunk limousine. I rarely touch the cli (maybe even less than the cmd tool in the start menu in Windows), but am slowly coming to terms with the possibilities.

The memes definitely hit harder.

I do understand. I find myself having to regularly check myself to look for miscommunication instead of malice (or stupidity for that matter).

The whole thing is whack, and anyone with two cents of mind and some compassion is just gaping at the horrors being casually thrown around and equally horrifying misdirections.

Thanks to the internet the only way to hide stuff is to drown it out, but we all have our trusted sources (who in turn distort reality in an infotaining world, but that’s where we’re at). This means we can more or less put the big picture together (or at least the players) and make fairly solid guesstimates.

I tell myself this is an all or nothing attempt by the ruling class to legitimize a strangle hold before any major resource wars break out and that people are really wisening up to their shenanigans. I feel ‘doomerism’ is an aspect where they can easily get me. Don’t let them win.

I do appreciate the time and effort you put into the comment, but I am not arguing against what you are saying.

Since Kinsey &co and the summer of love, the movement didn’t evaporate, it perforated society and mutated. I don’t think I’d be going too far by stating, that the sexual revolution couldn’t have happened without the suffragettes. I see the queer movement as a spearhead in the same direction.

I only had qualm with you saying anything has been undone (sorry if I’m paraphrasing). Yeah, using ‘woke’ as a pejorative for anyone craving progress is a thing now, but that doesn’t mean most of us want nothing more than to love each other freely.

Was it erased? We are more comfortable with porn than ever (which I wouldn’t say is okay, but definitely not prudish), and after the jews, the biggest boogie man out there is the gender lobby.

I say we’re in the next phase, and moderators (Visa, Mastercard) need to buckle up for what’s coming.

‘Hiff’

Pretty wild how they can literally gatekeep a digital entity.

Maybe they’ll demonetize Amazon next…

White hat social hacking. What a time to be alive.

This place is gnarly! I deleted the comment about 9 seconds after posting, because I realized I was browsing in all, not home.

The post got me, sorry if I offended you.

Geez. Victim shame much? Just because someone doesn’t comform to a shitty system is not their fault. Hate the game, jackass.

Yeah, I think you’re right. So it’s the people that suck, not just the parties.

Didn’t Bernie Sanders lead in 2019 and dems decided to go with Biden for safety?

I thought Kessler-syndrome was the real kicker, not greenhouse gasses.

Ooo, mommy (umami)

Everything can be rationalized away, but if you can answer hate and fear with love and understanding, nothing in the 'Verse can stop us.

I can rationalize the top monsters behaviour back to childhood trauma, and I can see how even the last factory worker can be the same level of responsible as the president of the United States.

The key for me is finding personal responsibility for myself. I was never taught how to take proper care of myself (emotionally mainly), and I think this might be endemic to society. I might be projecting.

Which are still radiated at you through the ether ;)

I’m kinda stoked by the tech as well and kinda understand how multiple LLMs can produce pretty novel ideas. I think it was in protein-mapping where I first heard of some breakthroughs.

While I’m happy to hear your experience shows you otherwise, it feels like your advocating for the devil. We don’t want to get lost in an angsty anti-capitalist echochamber, but surely you can see how the comic is poking fun at our tendencies to very cleverly cause everything to turn to shit.

I guess woosh means missing the point? You are right on an individual basis, but if you look at it in tendencies, you might see why your swings didn’t connect.

But there is! Infotainment. It’s way more engaging than regular news or just dramas. It’s just not the good touch.
