Anyway, I have given every person I've come across who expressed concerns about the consequences of #FediPact a chance to explain their position, and Folker's rotating set of contradictory arguments pretty much encapsulates everything they have to say. They're full of shit and they know it. They just feel entitled to control what everyone else does with their accounts, and they feel entitled to push their bullshit into your spaces. Fuck em.

@juni it's such a setup. All they have to do is juke some numbers, produce a study that says that DEI hurts productivity, and voila. Justification for global fascism

It's so disappointing that "fintech" does not refer to technology that gives me fins with which to swim better

Very amusing to see capitalism apologists on the FediverseI mean, it's more understandable on Xitter or MacebookBut here? The place that's sustained by twine, chewing gum, patreon, and the hopes and dreams of two dozen catgirls? The place that's been going strong without a profit motive for half a decade now? #Capitalism fucked your mind.

@breadandcircuses The way people constantly insist that "humans are inherently greedy" reminds me of the way heavily patriarchal societies insist that "women hate sex." Oh yeah? Then why do you have to lock them up to prevent them having sex? Why are there laws against feeding the poor in some states?

@RD4Anarchy @pixelpusher220 right, like, I was just talking about two specific defining characteristics of capitalism as we currently know it: the concept of LLCs and marginal utility theoryI'm always trying to be more precise and specific in my understanding and explanation, so no, I don't really worry that I'm muddying definitions as a habit. If things seem unclear, that's an opportunity to explore and hopefully learn.

@mmclark @RD4Anarchy @pixelpusher220 Per Oxford dictionary: "an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit."

@mmclark @HeavenlyPossum @MontgomeryGator @pixelpusher220 @RD4Anarchy In a non-capitalist system, why would you want to open a restaurant? The main reason would be, because cooking is your thing, and that's how you want to contribute to your community. You wouldn't need to "hire" anyone because if your cooking was delicious and you enjoyed doing it, people would quickly join in to help distribute the delicious food to everyone who wanted it.

"Crisis of masculinity"? No. What you have is a crisis of patriarchy.

@shrikant @Citizenkahn I recently discovered @airadam's hip hop focused podcast. First time listening to a podcast for music and I love it! I also enjoy Scam Goddess, it's informative and hilarious.

Jordan Peterson speaks to the world via Xitter presenting himself as credible due to his license in psychotherapy. After numerous complaints about him, the College of Psychologists of Ontario ordered him to undergo media training or give up his license. He sued, and just lost. He'll probably appeal, but still: HA HA#JordanPeterson #FashGetFucked h/t @caitp https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/jordan-peterson-court-case-decision-1.6943845

Thread full of (no alt text of course) mug shots of Trump's co-conspirators photoshopped to look like batman villains. Boo. Why do you want to make them look cooler than they are?? Poison Ivy would never. Harvey Dent would punch Giuliani. He hated corruption. OMG this is so wackhttps://mastodon.social/@IamHappyToast/110943913277773869

@stopgopfox uh... "normalcy" as currently defined is deeply dangerous to all life on planet earthTFG arrested is not a bad thing. Neither is going outside and taking a deep breath--unless you live within range of the wildfires, which many dorethink whether returning to what passed for normal is desirable. Even if you just meant "the normal rule of law"

This is a "Comuta Car"; the only reason I know about them is because I spotted one for sale not far from my home a couple weeks ago. They were built between about 1974 - 1982https://jalopnik.com/before-tesla-there-was-comuta-1846846642

@sigridellis I'm 3 - 4 hours from NYC, so generally speaking we are the weekend destination. Conversely, I do go to NYC for a weekend pretty often. Aside from that, there's the Finger Lakes with parks, sailing, and winery tours, Syracuse for the state fair, and the Adirondacks. Still haven't been to Niagara falls, the drive is a bit long. I'd need a long weekend.

help an old head out, kids: what's the thing you smoke that's not flower? Relatively scent-free?
