This is where I just don’t get it. Like, as a hevaily privileged dude, I just don’t see how you can watch something like this and not go “wow, that was wildly inappropriate.”

But was he sending unsolicited dick pics or just saying hi? Because if it was the first one I got some news for you, and that news would be about him not being a good guy just because you didn’t have any problems.
If he was just saying hi…why did you respond to a comment about specifically unsolicited dick pics?
Furthest from Trump and yet were told they needed to be on a direct call with him. Apparently even being in space isn’t enough.
Honestly, I wish(not like this, of course). Most people vote based on propaganda and not actual policy so it would be kinda sweet to see people’s vote actually alogn with their goals for fucking once.
But that’s the thing, I’d rather do that be the guy that pressed the big red button on a bunch of kids. And it would set an example, which hopefully others could follow, but even if it doesn’t that’s fine with me.
An example that is oddly close is Montréal’s rent increase refusal process. We have a system where we can refuse the rent increase and then the landlord has to justify it. The power dynamics are totally fucked, though, and a lot of people are scared to do it, especially if they don’t know anyone else who has. Even still, many people have done it and overloading the system has brought real change. Like the military example, there are huge consequences(in this case it’s related to having shelter) but you still gotta do it. There are tired poor people at serious risk of losing their homes who are braver than these soldiers.
But that’s just it, the US had this strong pro-labour stance, so much momentum, and then they threw it all away and now it’s about what your boss “lets” you do.
But they won’t even have those discussions outside of work. I have a theory that it’s because if they’re progressive outside of an exploitative power dynamic then it’s much harder to handle if when it’s happening. It’s like their lives are in constant justification of why being taken advantage of is “actually normal” and why they say shit like “that’s life” or “in an ideal world…”. Easier to submit than fight*.
*Clarification: “fight” here could literally even just be voting progressive since that’s a completely secret thing. I’m not saying we gotta be raging at our bosses or trying to imply that everyone is in a place they can even speak honestly, safely.
To put it more directly, anyone with a political ideology based on having a position relative to two or more other positions seems constantly so desperate to appear like an enlightened, balanced thinker while also having a political that’s nearly entirely worthless. They’re great at voting against stuff but their spines are jelly and it’s so fucking hard to get them to commit to fuckin’ anything.
And it carries over in their lives! Trying to get a hard opinion out of them on anything is so hard! They’re so scared of being “wrong” that they constantly half-ass everything they do and I’m so tired of it. Just commit to something, please!
Yes, but a mystery mushroom would likely have much quicker-acting effects and it would be glorious to watch a bunch of these goobers keep over or absolutely trip balls on live television.
In what way? The die tell you success rate so you can’t just say “I succeed at everything” and you use your creativity to bring it all to life.
Your comment as written, especially with the clear example in my first comment, reads like “I’m not creative enough to work within the system”. I’m guessing that isn’t your point but I’m not sure what else to read it as.
Jettison the cargo hold!
Which is a lot, but you also don’t need any of the expense of owning a car. Not a dollar of it.
It’s also brand-new and there are only 288 units, plus it’s acting as a proof of concept as much as a housing solution. The prices reflect a supply and demand issue but hopefully this will lead to more and more of this kind of development.
Honestly, as someone who doesn’t even believe studio apartments should really be allowed at all, it’s not that bad when you actually think a little.
