i block tankies, right-wingers, and others with garbage opinions lol
if MODERATORS are landed gentry, what the fuck does that make rich bastards like him?
i’ve read marx. at precisely no point does he say anything justifying the various atrocities state capitalist countries have committed. i think he’s wrong about some stuff, but even if you accept that his word is gospel, tankies are still just people who took leftist principles as an excuse for the imposing the kind of brutal authoritarianism that leftists are supposed to be against.
Exactly. Blaming individuals for systemic problems never gets you anywhere. If you can reduce your car dependency, sure, do that, but don’t beat yourself up if you can’t.
But wait. I have a NSFW subreddit, and reddit doesn’t allow you to upload pictures directly to reddit if you’re on an NSFW subreddit. Right? So how can it be the primary host?
I’d love to help you figure this out, but your second link takes me to a 502 error.
Anyway, my guess is that one instance you’re on federates with certain instances, and one does not. So if you’re on instance A and B, A federates with C, but B does not, so from B you won’t see comments from C. But I admittedly don’t know what the differences are between the comment sections you’re seeing, so I could be completely wrong.
what i wake up to every morning
The ruling class steals from the working class. By stealing from them, you are winning back some small amount of what has been taken from you, and withholding a tiny bit of power and influence they would have had if you’d bought the product. Shoplifting is also morally correct for this reason.
Now, you shouldn’t steal from co-ops, because they generally don’t steal from their workers. Small businesses are a bit of a gray area, as many of them are much more ethical than big businesses, but many of them aren’t, too, and you can’t always know which is which.
And before you accuse me of simply adopting a morality that is convenient to me, it’s true that I’ve always been ambivalent at worst about piracy, but I used to be firmly against shoplifting. Even tried to report a shoplifter to my supervisor when I was working retail, the one and only time I noticed someone shoplifting. (Thankfully in hindsight, they peeled out of the parking lot before they could be caught.) I came by my morals not when I suddenly needed to shoplift or pirate, but gradually as I stopped believing in liberal ideals.
To be clear, I’m not saying you’re some kind of hero if you pirate or shoplift. Just that, ethically speaking, it’s better than buying from them.
No, you didn’t, but you said to “support” the game devs, and how does buying a game “support” them if little of the money goes to them?
I’m probably going to keep using both regardless, though I may cut back significantly on my reddit use.
My kitties “help” all the time when I crochet, too!
Do you really expect me to believe that the majority of the money you pay for a game goes to its devs?
Besides, I’m of the opinion that piracy in general is usually morally correct.
Reminder that pirating a Nintendo game is always morally correct.
You’re doing the lord’s work.
Edit: I tried to post something, but the little circle just goes forever.
It’s a browser game, not a video game per se, but Flight Rising. I play it when I need to do something with my hands or distract myself.
It’s depressing to think how useful this technology could be for disabled people if it weren’t always fucking spying on you. But that will never change in today’s society.
Loving that big social media sites are screwing themselves over. Burn it all down.
I’m not saying mindfulness can’t have serious benefits. However, I would caution anyone who’s into it to read the book McMindfulness. A lot of the “science” behind it doesn’t stand up to scrutiny, there can be genuine drawbacks to it, and it’s often used in unethical ways–like to make CEOs of ruthless companies more able to shove aside their feelings of guilt, or to sharpen the minds of soldiers for killing.
