Good praxis

But in a response to her visa application, the Home Office told Ashkar that it had been denied on the grounds that granting it would “harm the public interest”, without giving any further reasons or explanation.

I’m not following your logic here

I hope it makes some men (looking at the commenters on r/tinder who speak in terms of a marketplace) understand that they aren’t necessarily competing with other men, they’re also competing with the null hypothesis: Would she rather be alone (or with a bear).

AJAX is also stronger than the chemical bonds that are supposed to keep the skin on your hands intact while you do dishes

To me if a certain method of organizing fails to give people power over their own needs without infringing on the needs of others than it should be avoided. Privatization of -everything-, which is core to ancap theory, is itself an aggression. The enclosure movement in the UK is a good example. The ‘best’ way for people to organize would incentivize people to be good towards each other and good stewards of the planet. It would not allow one person to gain power over anyone else’s right to exist. You should be highly skeptical of a movement whose theorists support slavery, free market organ sales, etc. which are antithetical to freedom of the individual (at least one person in the relationship is getting the shitty end of the deal).

It would be interesting to look at generational differences in what people consider a splurge at the grocery store nowadays. Things like chips that didn’t used to be luxury priced cost $5-$6 dollars a bag now. I’ve always considered items more than about $4 (for individual items) to be expensive.

Things that I ate regularly that have drifted into “splurge” territory for me in the last few years:
-chips
-Veggie italian sausage
-Naked juice/bolthouse juice
-grapes
-chocolate chips
-pineapple juice
-potato bread
-salad dressing
-croutons
-yogurt
-cottage cheese

I always imagine it going:

Uni admin: “They’re approving kids for how much?! Well fuck $3000 a semester, let’s triple it!”

And now universities depend on that increased revenue and there’s no simple way to roll it back.

Yeah, I wasn’t a fan of the ‘love conquers all” direction we went with the last one. Hope they fold in some more inspired nineties postmodern sci fi elements/themes

If any of this recognizably lasts 1000 years I’ll have a better opinion of it, ancient egypt is still smirking at us

Hundreds of years of infighting

Somehow I don’t think insulting people is going to get them to want to participate in your shit show

I haven’t played around with them, are the new models able to actually reason rather than just predictive text on steroids?

I remember that! I also remember it passing pretty quickly, don’t think it was effective. And I disagree with all of the nay sayers on the usefulness of those subs. Since that time I’ve noticed a lot more people willing to speak about work as a simple contractual arrangement. Not too long ago you would be called lazy and lacking in team spirit etc. for holding boundaries at work. I’ve had more co-workers express the ‘work to live not live to work’ mentality.

Maybe you guys didn’t grow up around as many people who put their entire human energy into their jobs as I did, but in some places there has been a clear shift in how people are thinking about work. Boomers used to let ther vacation expire guys. I am not seeing that in the workplace anymore. Don’t forget the ‘lying flat’ movement that was/is concurrent and frequently discussed in those subs as well. I truly think the antiwork sub helped spark a conversation in the public zeitgeist and helped spur a shift in thought.

Very cool, going to check out the cited books

That’s a lot of nozzles

Perhaps, if we’re lucky and we also move quickly to reduce (not financially ‘offset’) new pollution
