  Read, yes. Study, eh. Process, no; that takes time.

  I don’t think she meant “micro”, no.

  Is someone just discovering anarchism?

  If it’s true, and you’re in the US, you’ll be fine. If it’s not true, and they can prove it, they can sue for libel.

  Am I not reading that right, or is it only a list of Masto accounts?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Culture Workers in the Fediverse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  oh right, the guy from the thing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is ice heavier than water?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ice is generally not full of air bubbles, so no, the same mass of water does not get heavier when turned to ice. The water just takes up more space in crystaline form, taking up more volume at a lower density.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What common American habits do people find quietly annoying?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It is, and the thought that someone would be annoyed by it shocks me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What common American habits do people find quietly annoying?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  no, they’re literally 25% grape juice

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What common American habits do people find quietly annoying?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  whaaaaa?

  I confess, I mostly expected this post to contain things that also annoy me about my fellow Americans, but here I am now, rocked to my core

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If God (or any creator of the universe) exists would he be made out of atoms?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d rather doubt it. I tend to think of God as the original uncaused action.

  But the most important thing is to have a healthy scepticism towards anyone who claims to have definitive knowledge of God.

  Bone density loss?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If libertarian socialists are on the left and anarcho-capitalists are on the right what ideology is in the middle?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It won’t be fun. It will be work. I was saying that from the beginning. It’s a task without end, but still worthwhile.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If libertarian socialists are on the left and anarcho-capitalists are on the right what ideology is in the middle?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Some heirarchies (my personal opinion now) are both natural and desirable: parent and child, teacher and student.

  Many are harmful, and should be removed, no matter how “natural”.

  I wouldn’t say “hardwired to create heirarchies” so much as there’s a tendency, in any case.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the difference between an American liberal and a liberal outside the USA?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s so frustrating. Neoliberalism is explicitly a postliberal ideology.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If libertarian socialists are on the left and anarcho-capitalists are on the right what ideology is in the middle?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Of those two? Christian Democrats, I guess. But there are ideologies far to the right of anarchocapitalists (eg. neomonarchists) and far to the left of libertarian socialists (eg. communists), and anyway political ideologies don’t map well to a single- or even dual-axis graph. You need axes for economic model, rights vs. authority, and stability vs. innovation at a minimum.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If libertarian socialists are on the left and anarcho-capitalists are on the right what ideology is in the middle?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a natural tendency towards heirarchies, but “natural” doesn’t mean “necessary” and it definitely doesn’t mean “desirable”. To create and maintain a better world takes work, and part of that is dismantling “natural”, but harmful, heirarchies (eg. the physically strong dominating the physically weak).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How open are you about yourself to others online in general?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve had a personal blog since the previous millennium. My primary subs on reddit were “Ask” communities, two of which I was so active in I went on to mod them. I post under my real name. I am not shy.

  I don’t put anything online I wouldn’t say out loud in real life, though. That’s my limit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you feel about the removal of tokens from arcades ?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Disagree, tokens are fun! I have one from every arcade I’ve ever been to (and that’s what I thought this post was going to be about, taking tokens from arcades) and they all have unique designs and make for great memorabilia.

  Plus, logistically, tokens make sense:

  • The arcade can offer bulk discounts (4 per dollar vs 50 for ten dollars)

  • The arcade can offer party packages ( I’d rather give my kids’ friends a pot of tokens than a wad of cash)

  • Tokens reduce the need for cash-on-hand, reducing the risk of theft

  But I’m sure the main reason is it’s what I was used to when I was a kid and teen.

  I wash them after three uses and use them until they fall apart.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Say, the country/countries you have citizenship in, decided to not want you anymore and threw you to some random "3rd world country", how do you survive?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I teach English and Math and do manual labor on the side.

  Not safe, but a lot less unsafe than acetaminophen.

  Not at all! But tacos de lengua are basically the perfect hangover food.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In my life, I usually bounce them out of the bar and tell them not to come back.

  For you, give him some ibuprofen (NOT acetaminophen) and lots of water and put him to bed. Serve him a breakfast of braise beef tongue and hope for the best.

  If you want that, add some rosemary or other herbs as well as salt.
