Yes to this when juxtaposed against consumerism.

Also don’t feel bad that you need more than sun and air to fulfill your basic needs. It’s not a sin to enjoy a falafel.

I’m so sorry. One of my neighbours is non-American MAGA as well, and without taking a hammer to my frontal lobe, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to understand how they see the world. They literally believe sci-fi fantasy shit about giants’ bones and “med beds” and cloning politicians.

Yay! 🥕🐇

Well I’ve heard all I need to. I knew Chomsky was kind of a prodigious jerk. He’s put out some good material in his time, but it sure doesn’t seem like he’s personally on the right side of of the child abuse “side” of the debate.

Sure it is. It’s a matter of the taste of the people in the movie theatre.

Nolan’s movies are just vehicles for Zimmer’s music.

Matter of taste. For my part, I don’t like watching movies with anyone who can’t carry a conversation while it’s happening. I love getting the live reactions and theories as the movie is still playing out.

This is partner. It’s like a tic. It’s actually amazing to watch. It’s like they become possessed by the spirit of cinema and start babbling about the most obscure trivia you’ve ever heard.

He covered a lot already for the normie crowd. Also, I think he meant like forcing Facebook to have an open API and allow unrestricted interoperability no matter what “network” an end user is on.

Thanks for this. There are no perfect solutions in this world, and you’re right–it’s something. Maybe I can use what influence I have in this role to set up the next generation of tech workers to do better than we did.

The deep cut has formed into a rift. I’m almost completely burned on the notion of doing any good in this world with my tech skills. I’m applying to work at a university now, which at least is a bit more of a public service. But it still is selling the next generation on corpo tech, and credentialism.

I’m not sure my money work can ever really be a net good.

Damn it’s always the evil ones with the cake. Just think of the good he could have done…

I think we all project but just lie to ourselves about it. Maybe I’m projecting though too

Though she might try to couple with your head–fruitlessly, of course.

Give poor person money: they spend the money.

Give rich person money: they use it to leverage more money out of the economy of working people.

Wow so good at business look at all the money they’re stealing.

Ahh but you see they also revile fat people.

That would be tragic, but indications point to him being actually ideological
