  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?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ 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 ?⁩ ⁨⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ 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 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]⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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.

  Tacocat — “Snow Day”

  I love celery and hate water chestnuts. Everyone’s different.

  When I make soup my wife always tells me I put too much celery. I never feel like it’s enough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨to any EU federalist, why do you believe you can make a federation out of 27 different countries with different languages and cultures?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The early US was culturally and linguistically fairly heterogenous. That’s why they chose a federation instead of a unary government, and even that wasn’t the first choice, they tried a much looser confederation (not dissimilar to the EU) but it didn’t work well enough.

  Consider yourself proven wrong.

  Obligation isn’t a useful reference point here. Any party interested in communicating must make the effort to both understand and be understood.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨why is fossil fuel still used?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  two big reasons:

  • we don’t have replacement energy sources at scale (this is of course party caused by inflated demand eg. data centers, always-on electronics)

  • energy production is heavily subsidized in that so-called external costs are paid by the public instead of the companies

  Until we can both reduce demand and increase supply, while also making corporations pay the cost of the pollution they produce, we’re stuck with this shit.
