amazing how half their discography hasn't aged a day, also how they were able to make an incredibly hard breakdown out of what is effectively leftist meme paragraphs

yeah now that u mention it the lack of white collar and pink collar unionization is prob part of why the trades are so dominated by men, they can claim they are the hash tag legitimate union representatives to defend hazing and workplace harassment with less inter-union pushback
ur children will be techno-utopians, and ur grandchildren will be techno-utopians, we will bury you(r pessimism)
they're calling it the stupid russo-japanese war
this is not true, we posted rly hard
how tf is it 0.1% still, is that even like one power plant XD
you almost lost me before this one, i'll be damned if i let those league of legends players walk free
shifts in opinion*
giving people more options is messy, new forms of communication are messy and there's usually a nasty backlash after a decade of pushing forward. the printing press lead to centuries of european wars, the radio lead to fascism and yet i have a hard time concluding that these were bad in the long run
i think theres also a lot of marginal subcultures that were bubbling under in the 2010s that are going to take center stage or at least increase in importance. puppygirls and neopronouns are merely the start of this revolution
the 1848 revolutions would look like a failure to an 1858 observer but liberalism, nationalism, and eventually marxism would dominate the politics of a century just a decade or three later. i also think there's been seismic shifts esp in young women that are likely to have long term effects
this might be a bit long but cards on the table i don't think i would have made it to adulthood as an autistic trans gal without social media but like, idk it was pretty liberatory to me. i also think its way too soon to say anything abt the long term effects
arguably their biggest one, the transnational far-right, hasn't been doing so hot the last year or so, they've been losing momentum in most european countries sans france (which is more about presidentialism and a completely shambolic political class from left to center)
to say nothing about how unemployment is prob gonna go up in the next decade or three from automation or how our enemies constantly relitigating the 20th century and i think there’s a lot of openings for things that aren’t shit to happen
by all accounts the 2010s should not have gone as well for pro-freedom forces as it did, the average tech employee is at least more sympathetic to us than they are peter thiel, and open source models aren’t that far behind the frontier. maybe we get fucked in the gap there but if not
is it worthless though? llms are trained on most liberatory theory, and a minority of anarchists made big moves with the internet despite the revulsion of the scene as a whole. the powers that be also seem to be very bad at controlling fast moving tech, esp stuff that is easy to set up by anyone
black dresses, emo revival, etc are methadone
call that BRIDbrain
feel like theres a non-tail chance of this being used for transmisogyny reasons when shit hits the fan
estrogen, oil, rope, drugs? you want it? it's yours my friend, so long as you have enough dogecoins
ahh yes, the heroin for undiagnosed white girl bpd
anti-ai leftists talk about it like its the one ring but even if thats true theres like billions of them and more can poof out of thin air so what are they doing here
bit of a dated observation but like why is taylor swifts music fentanyl for white girls with undiagnosed bpd
we let dumb guys learn the word enshitification and now everyone is scared ur giving their computer autism
The left has to pivot ASAP from parroting "the stochastic parrots are totally useless" and embarrassingly made up fake numbers about water and heat, and instead recognize the already-actually-existing apocalyptic power that's rapidly being concentrated right now in the hands of a few.
frantic and anxiety inducing, great game
I still want to do more tweaking and polishing to this, but I'm ready to share a minigame I've been working on.
Straitsweeper.
Minesweeper, but a longer, scrolling map where you also have to worry about clearing a safe path before a tanker goes through the strait.

ig the boys does seem to have contempt for its genre, liveleak dot com
let me rephrase that then, why shouldn't we? i don't think its fair to label peptides as entirely wellness/woo shit like beef tallow or whatever
