  You can edit titles here!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨why do they force you to take the 3 national subjects in egypt?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The point of civics class isn’t to be useful to you, the individual. It’s to make you useful to civil society.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do we still joke about setting up old wooden guillotines?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Because if we talk about guns and bombs we end up on a list.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are Street Racers "bad people"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  YES

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people say "as sweet as canned beans"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I have never heard this expression.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If A.I. is so fast and efficient, and CEOs are paid so much, why not replace CEOs with A.I.?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  then maybe they’d implement the AI CEO then just retire.

  I think this is the most realistic scenario. CEO outsources her workload to AI as much as possible while still collecting a paycheque.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If A.I. is so fast and efficient, and CEOs are paid so much, why not replace CEOs with A.I.?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Who’s going to make that decision? The CEO?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is anyone NOT steaming their Music?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I listen to my personal collection most of the time. I use streaming to keep track of new artists, but I download things I like rather than keep streaming them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Is any less self-mutilation to cut out only the parts of yourself you dislike?

  Is it any less painful if you know it prevents greater pain later?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Conservative⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Illiberalism on the rise throughout the Western World, and this is the response? What an inauspicious way to market your community.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. You are what you eat when you eat what you are.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Is deleting a picture of yourself a type of self destruction?

  Obviously, yes.

  Is setting an alarm clock to wake you in the morning a form of sadism towards future you?

  Again, very obviously, yes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I get texting and driving being a danger. But back in my day you could eat drink change radio stations etc. Why weren't laws implemented back then?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There way have been a law against eating while driving where you were, many areas had them.

  But it was probably only enforced if there was an accident.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨do you use non violent communication at the workplace?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The whole point is to look reality in the eye without emotion in the way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨do you use non violent communication at the workplace?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We do, actually. We call ourselves ateeists.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hyperpop⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In the calm light of day, I can see I did get the lyrics backwards.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hyperpop⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Can we really call it hyperpop if this beat is more digigrind mixed up with cybercore?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨On the relevance of upvotes in relation to quality and discussion⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  check the username

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is communist idea of base & superstructural bullshit?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not bullshit, but neither is it the only accurate way to look at the situation. I think it makes sense and is a worthy framework for discussion, but if you’re facing someone who doesn’t, you’ll either need to sell them on the framework first or understand their framework and use that for discussion instead. More work for you, but that’s how the world goes round.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: there's a browser extension called "SingleFile", which allows you to save a page into a single HTML file.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t most browers offer this as a default option?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨To refer casually to briefs-style men's underwear, is it Tidy Whities or Tighty Whities?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  tidy doesn’t rhyme, and, uh, in my experience doesn’t rescribe the briefs either

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what's your take on employers banning the use of languages other than English between coworkers at the workplace?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  the responses in both threads are clearly split between those who speak one language and agree with the manager, and those who speak multiple languages and think the rule is bullshit

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Suffering doesn’t make one better. People are shitty by default and have to learn how to be better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. It would be stupid. You can always get married later if you change your mind, but for now focus on supporting her through the pregnancy and prepping to be good parent to the kid and a good coparent to the girl.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you think conservative feel the same need to burn it all down as everyone else felt when trump won again?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  All battles are hopeless when no one fights them.

  You’re not wrong, though. But even thirty years would be enough to make a change, perhaps… or maybe it seems that way to me because that’s when I started paying attention.

  Friggen Tea Party bullshit was when it really started sliding downhill fast, IMO.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you think conservative feel the same need to burn it all down as everyone else felt when trump won again?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The government needs to adapt, yes, but carefully. You can’t just run with the first or second option, that’s a recipe for regulatory capture.

  It’s not “no change is good” but rather “most change isn’t good, so we need to test them until we find the best change”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you think conservative feel the same need to burn it all down as everyone else felt when trump won again?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  that’s what your politics are, you’re basically just politically homeless…and have been since you started calling yourself that.

  This, at least, is correct.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you think conservative feel the same need to burn it all down as everyone else felt when trump won again?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What is the point of labels like this if they don’t signal what it is you believe, relatively accurately?

  This is exactly why it’s necessary to push back on those who would twist it to mean something else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you think conservative feel the same need to burn it all down as everyone else felt when trump won again?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I know what the generally accepted definition is, I just don’t accept it. Regressives don’t have a right to call themselves conservative and I won’t stop calling them out on it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you think conservative feel the same need to burn it all down as everyone else felt when trump won again?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Conservatives and progressives should agree on a whole lot, especially when we’re all trying to fight off an alarming resurgence of fascism, authoritarianism, and illiberalism worldwide. The disagreement was rarely about goals, but rather methods. And right now the method is clear: Get these Nazi fucks out of power, ASAP.
