Haha all good, I wasn’t criticizing, snacks just made me laugh. Teens have probably been bartering weed and alcohol in high school since the 70s.

lol I’m just joking that teens in high school would probably trade weed for things rather than snacks. I’m not proud of it, but I got paid in weed junior of high school for customizing MySpace accounts, which is why I laughed at “snacks” because if they are later age high school students they probably aren’t trading in sour cream and onion.

When I was in college I took a road trip with some friends to
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_Gathering
It was incredible. Want some blueberry tea? There’s people in the middle of the forest brewing incredible blueberry tea, just bring a container.
Want food, dessert, tobacco (yes not good unless it was something you would seek out anyway), coffee, etc? Some community will have it, and you’ll have a map where they are. There’s a theater in the middle of the woods putting on shows and music, there’s metal barrels over fires being used to bake cookies for anyone who wants them, there’s a dude walking around hand-rolling cigarettes yelling “Nick at Night!” for those that are craving.
Money isn’t allowed. Most things are just publicly offered, and otherwise it’s a barter economy, usually with the person “selling” something happy enough to take a flower you found in the woods, or a cup of coffee, and they’ll happy to give you the beautiful little carving they worked on, they mostly want to share their art.
The vast majority of people I met were incredibly kind, I heard amazing stories, and as a younger person I learned a lot about how people really can be kind to each other without assumption or an expectation of return. I saw a lot of walks of life. I wasn’t sheltered growing up, so I had seen my share of struggle, but that event really made me realize that there is genuine good in people. Not just helping others because it makes them feel good, but just helping others because they can, and it’s the right thing to do, and it’s how we get better as a species.
I feel like it was what burning man pretends to be. No alcohol and no drugs are allowed, there’s no “$15 and you can shower here you pleb” garbage. I doubt millionaires are picking out their outfits to go there, it’s not glamorous.

Except
Radical feminism** is a perspective within feminism that calls for a radical re-ordering of society in which male supremacy is eliminated in all social and economic contexts
But by making sure that women carry children to term whether or not they want to, it’s basically male run, they haven’t said anything about male/female equality.
It’s not the right terminology. Radical feminism has its own flaws, but this is Christian fundamentalism, nothing more, no matter how they label it.

I love the mental gymnastics of saying that you’re a feminist and also anti-abortion. The only way a woman gets pregnant is from sperm. And in 99% of cases, that was through the interaction with a man. And it may have not been consensual.
But either way, now said woman is bound to modify her body and life because of her interaction with a man, rather than being able to make her own choice. She’s “empowered” to be a good little breeder and produce either men or other breeders because apparently that’s what women are good for when you take away their autonomy, which is really what these groups want.
They would build such an amazing society! With so many empowered women! Freed from the shackles of being able to think or decide for themselves, ready to fulfill their ultimate dream of producing offspring, taking care of offspring, and then dying.

And he despised the rich. Turns out Christianity today is what it always has been, consolidation of (male) wealth and power. It never really had much to do with the teachings of Jesus
- Comment on Meta will cease political ads in European Union by fall, blaming bloc’s new rules 1 day ago:
“No one”
They don’t give a shit what their users want. Their users are part of the product they sell. Their customers are their advertisers. This is bad news for political advertisers and their investors, both of whom absolutely want this. This is a good thing. It would be a much better thing if people would just stop using Meta products altogether
- Comment on Meta will cease political ads in European Union by fall, blaming bloc’s new rules 1 day ago:
Exactly this. This messaging is for their customers, e.g. those that buy political ads, and their investors, those that want line go up regardless of how. They aren’t speaking to their users. Their users are part of the product they sell.

So take the time off but don’t actually go on vacation while someone pays you less for the thing you already paid for?
Pretty sure it would just be way cheaper to just take time off without going anywhere, if that’s your goal

Funny they don’t name their own Australian conservative anti abortion Christian founder though

Funny that they are trying to empower women so much but aren’t going after any of the social media of fundie women telling young girls their only purpose in life is to breed and serve their husband

I don’t disagree with the theory, but I think it doesn’t work in practice on a platform like lemmy due to the federation. But that’s a cool thing about the fediverse is you can use an instance you like, and while you can’t just move everything, if an instance changes or you want to changes instances, you can. Or instances can evolve. Or you can even start your own, if you want full control and are willing to put in the work

Most of them are accelerationists. They want the world to collapse, because they want to be kings of their own little nation states and they all think that they’re going to come out ahead simply because they have money and because “if they’ve been so successful up until now with pesky governments just imagine what will happen without them.”

Probably the same thing that YouTube did where they hid dislikes because they “inspired negativity” or whatever when generally downvotes on Lemmy are “damn that’s a really shit take and most people think so, do better.”

I think many countries have those laws, whether or not they’re strictly enforced.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drinking_in_public
Also depends on where in the US. Bourbon street? Las Vegas? Atlantic City? Go for it. It’s also one of those things where it’s an unspoken rule. Community concert on the green? Just don’t have an open beer, put it into a cup and people will care less and it’s hard for cops to say anything.
It’s certainly strange, but I think the issue here is cops being more militaristic, especially against those they think they can get an easy arrest, rather than our country being the only one with drinking in public laws.

The majority of high paid tech workers give fuck-all about ethics though. The amount of people that left Google, Microsoft, etc for their work with Israel’s military was negligible, and many of them probably have a decent financial cushion they could sit on while finding a new job, but the money is too good. And people are climbing over each other to get jobs at Palantir and the like. I’ve noticed a pretty big intersection with high paid tech workers and anarcho-capitalism, where they think as long as they and their families make it out ok, it doesn’t matter what happens to other.
