Gas prices may affect the midterm votes though and they may vote against the extremist right wing candidates and for the liberal right wing candidates, which I guess is a small win.
And then flip right back when gas doesn’t magically become $1 per gallon and the nazi-pedophile coalition promises them $1/gallon gas.

Every day, I grow more eager for the inevitable crash of the AI market. Sora getting killed seems like a good portent.
- Comment on College core: you sit in the class for attendance then go home and teach yourself 3 hours ago:
At some level, college is supposed to be about teaching yourself.
That said, professors are supposed to help.
- Comment on College core: you sit in the class for attendance then go home and teach yourself 3 hours ago:
At least yours were taught by actual faculty?
A lot of my 100 and 200 level classes were taught by grad students who were interning as teachers in exchange for free/discounted tuition.

Nah, division of labor (at least to some extent) existed long before capitalism and will still need to be present long after. Not everybody can or should do everything for themselves.

Why are ‘beans’ and ‘corn’ in quotes there? Are they euphemisms for something else?

- Comment on Is school cafeteria food in America trash? 1 day ago:
Sometimes the school food is actually worse because our prisons are much better funded than our schools.

I’m not pointing the gun. I just didn’t see the guy who did.
- Comment on Is school cafeteria food in America trash? 2 days ago:
This is in stark contrast to prison food level quality found in many districts.
Very literally prison food.
Public schools in the US often contract with companies to provide the school lunches, and the companies fulfilling those contracts are often exactly the same companies that provide food for prisoners in the prison system.

Yeah, probably … though it will take me a very, very long time.

Ah … I’m not too familiar with Zorin (or bluetooth) myself, but hopefully you’ll get some answers!

So every working person is an asshole
Nah, most of them are just working for an asshole.
and the only ethical way to obtain food is to steal it
Well, you could also grow it yourself.
But, sure, stealing is one of the most ethical ways to obtain food.

Which distro are you on?
I’m sure you could easily get some help with how to install things and the basics of using the terminal (though you really shouldn’t need to use the terminal much anyway).
- Comment on The FCC decided that all foreign-made consumer-grade Internet routers are prohibited from receiving FCC authorization and are therefore prohibited from being imported for use or sale in the US. 2 days ago:
Or, guess what, the next thing will be that all new domestically produced routers will require ID verification before they’ll connect.

It’s not very feasible for my husband who has cerebral palsy unless we did a lot of expensive setup so he could do most of it seated.
Well, I guess he can be the one sitting inside and shelling peas, cleaning out jars for canning, and slicing things up to go in the dehydrator.

but they’re probably not ripping you off and reporting billions in profit.
Nah, they’re just ripping you off and reporting thousands in profit.
They’re doing the exact same thing, just on a smaller scale. And if you got rid of the big corpos, they’d grow to fill the void left behind and start doing it on a bigger scale.

They’re trying to get you to move to Linux, but you just won’t take the hint, so now they have to try another thing…

The problem with Mr. White here is that he’s still internalizing capitalistic individualism.
“Everyone should grow their own food and be self sufficient.” – Nope.
“The local community should grow food for each other and be self sufficient.” – Yes.
Food self-sufficiency is much more realistic on a community scale than on an individual scale. And it can help with all the problems listed here:
-
People who don’t have access to land – can share the land of others who do have access to land
-
People with health problems – can be assisted by the community and still help out where they can (maybe their health problems prevent them from effectively weeding or harvesting, but maybe they could still help with sorting/processing/preserving)
-
People who value food security – with a larger community growing more diverse crops, you’re less likely to have catastrophic crop failure
-
People who hate zucchini – again, with a larger community growing more diverse crops, there would be more options for what to eat
-
- Comment on h8ers gonna h8 2 days ago:
People with health issues are incapable of gardening in some way so must rely on the industry.
Though, on the other hand, fresh-grown food from a garden (and a bit of moderate exercise) is likely to help with a lot of health issues…

Just because a business is small doesn’t mean it’s honest.
- Comment on It's not coming back. 2 days ago:
You’re right, I should overthrow capitalism today, instead of waiting for ideal conditions.
- Comment on Don't be a coward 2 days ago:
*stealing anything. (As long as they’re stealing from a business, at least.)
You could be holding the cashier at gunpoint and emptying out the register, and I didn’t see shit.

And, potentially worse, he knows how to turn the crazy off during a public appearance when he needs to.
- Comment on What is likely to happen when/if trump dies? 3 days ago:
Trump dying fixes nothing.
Well, it could potentially fracture their party between different figures vying to be the next Trump. That’s the only thing it could fix.
- Comment on Sitting in traffic 4 days ago:
Okay, sure … but on that note … what kind of maniac would put all those fresh fruits and vegetables all just piled together inside, with no packaging at all to keep them separate/intact and then add a baguette in there as well, just stuffed in among the vegetables? And, somehow, the worst part is that they have 4 red peppers, and the peppers aren’t even all in the same general area, they’re just tossed in there randomly…
- Comment on Sitting in traffic 4 days ago:
True, true. Less commuting would be a benefit for just about everybody (except wealthy commercial real estate landlords).
Just wanted to point out that saying everyone should stop commuting is pretty hyperbolic.
- Comment on Sitting in traffic 4 days ago:
Also depending on how much shit you need to transport.
Even if there was a store within walking distance, I wouldn’t fancy walking with a week’s worth of groceries.
