While there is more then a grain of truth to this, still seems to be time for distracted voters to watch Netflix, goto concerts, watch movies, goto sporting events. You’re not going to get out from under any of this by substituting screeching about the need to pay bills, for activism.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bread_and_circuses

Juvenal originally used it to decry the “selfishness” of common people and their neglect of wider concerns. The phrase implies a population’s erosion or ignorance of civic duty as a priority

You can be distracted and not Vote GOP for example.

White women are his majority

Whatever he’s saying resonates with them

It’s time to stop coddling white women when they bolster white supremacy, and to push for concrete acts of solidarity

Dude, you realty knife :)

I have 1 Spyderco and 1 Leatherman that’s about 30 years old. I used the latter when I off road motorcycle toured decades ago.

What are the most private social media platforms?

I’ve been feeling uneasy about the privacy implications of using Lemmy and similar platforms. The ability for anyone to view your entire posting history feels to me like publicly sharing my browser history. In contrast, most other social media platforms allow you to limit your feed visibility to just friends or followers....

Goto social ?

@hanrahan@slrpnk.net avatar

A perfectly private social media service could be constructed but it likely won’t because there is no profit motive.

And here it is, that thing you said most likely won’t be…

gadgeteer.co.za/gotosocial-is-a-new-activitypub-s…

Even if it were, how many people would truly use it.

To be social, 3 people, maybe 5 is all you’d need.

As to proft motive, maybe you’re not aware of FOSS?

Americans are choking on surging fast-food prices. "I can't justify the expense," one customer says (www.cbsnews.com)

Kevin Roberts remembers when he could get a bacon cheeseburger, fries and a drink from Five Guys for $10. But that was years ago. When the Virginia high school teacher recently visited the fast-food chain, the food alone without a beverage cost double that amount....

Economists don’t rrally think we need food.

theintercept.com/…/william-nordhaus-climate-econo…

Ignorance of systems has its way of plowing forward, juggernaut-like. Nordhaus has opined that agriculture is “the part of the economy that is sensitive to climate change,” but because it accounts for just 3 percent of national output, climate disruption of food production cannot produce a “very large effect on the U.S. economy.” It is unfortunate for his calculations that agriculture is the foundation on which the other 97 percent of GDP depends. Without food — strange that one needs to reiterate this — there is no economy, no society, no civilization. Yet Nordhaus treats agriculture as indifferently fungible.

I suspect developers are gonna stop developing.

That’s what happened here in Australia and homes and condos (apartments) have gone from horrendously expensive to ridiculously horrendous expensive.

We don’t build homes to house people either. Unlike say these guys

Thats literally what I wish for. The entire reasons The Greens are about this is because they know appeasement never works with bullies.

Bringing NATO in would end the war

It might see the end of Russia and if thats what Russia wants they can launch a nuc but I suspect Vald wants to enjoy his billions and his mansion.

A few bad apples SMH

Why are neurotypicals in charge of making up the social rules? They're not even very good at it.

Edit: A few people have interpreted the title as serious, so I wanna clarify that it was meant as a sarcastic joke about how little sense the neurotypical world makes to me, but it is still legitimately me asking for help understanding said neurotypical world....

Americans treat politics more like football rather then then evaluate politics to see what best for themselves, their community and their country. It’s like relegion and is more an indoctrination thing. They’re not alone in that of courses, its just seems more pronounced and tribal there.

I am not American and don’t live there but used to years ago.

‘Ranting, rambling, and paranoid’: Federal appeals court suspends 96-year-old judge until she passes mental exam (lawandcrime.com)

Judge Newman has threatened to have staff arrested, forcibly removed from the building, and fired. She accused staff of trickery, deceit, acting as her adversary, stealing her computer, stealing her files, and depriving her of secretarial support. Staff have described Judge Newman in their interactions with her as “aggressive,...

Why do they not want to ? Ego and or indoctrination mainly. (Work itself has worth for being work, power over others, you’re an attention whore and fear obscurity, or some combination ). There’s also a stigma with being retired.

I retired at 35 and am now 58. My only regret was not stopping earlier.

I quit at 35 and am now 58. My only regret was being too afraid to do it earlier.

How ? I long ago was able to to differentiate needs from wants.

I do own my own small house. Each year I have excess funds, some is rolled over and reinvested, some is donated to charity, because the small investments I do have earn way more then my needs.

I’d consider euthanasia if I had to return to work because of some unforseen reason, after deaades of freedom Arbeit macht frei is prison.
