Honestly that would explain the similarities between religious superstitions and the things people have admitted to believing as a child on ask Reddit.
We need enough people to agree on both a vehicle and a direction.
There are a lot of people dissatisfied with the current government(s) but don’t agree how to create change; be it through the current system, major modifications to the current system, or even more severe changes.
There are a lot of people who don’t want wide spread poverty/suffering, but don’t agree on how that problem should be dealt with; be it through universal income, massive public projects, or wealth taxation and better competition regulations.
IMO we need a new digital/decentralized/open-source/transparent ‘social media platform’ that can replace the current easily manipulated electoral systems.
We need ideas & policies to be independently actionable from the partisan politics that afaic specifically exist to mitigate change and maintain the influence of money in policy.
I got a cat at 18 for the same reason I don’t want kids lmao. I like kids. I also like dogs. But I like leaving the house for more than 8 hours more and for that you need a cat.
Its worth noting that they had completed “15 to 20 contracts previously” and that they had negotiated previous contracts via text message. This process became the norm during the pandemic.
In other words it’s within this context that made it agreement… not that thumbs ups can universally be used to agree to contracts.
Glad to see the reddit tradition of just commenting without reading any of the source material is going strong /s
But for real my dude. You got a problem with chemicals in your meat? How bout those crazy steroids and antibiotics they pump your chickens/cows full of so that they don’t die of disease before maturation/slaughter? What about all the chemicals in the low quality feed they give the animals? Or the processing to increase shelf life?
The beauty of this technology is that it avoids all those problems as well as their chemical solutions. It uses mitosis, aka the same naturally occurring process all cells use, to grow meat in an isolated environment that disease cannot thrive. Meanwhile we can use genetic modification to improve the quality of the protein. The end result will be healthier, more sustainable and have a significantly longer shelf life.
I’m really not sure how I feel about this. Up front it seems like a bad thing. But from a broad perspective we’ve been spoonfed information via google for too long and it’s made us complacent. The culmination of things like C-18, oversaturation of advertising and ai generated content, plus the potential degradation of reddit, might actually bring us full circle back to when individual websites were more relevant.
I don’t watch porn that frequently these days but when I do want some, I like lesbian stuff typically. Nothing hotter than some girl on girl action. Can never get enough of two pussies grinding up against each other....
I feel like we’re basically waiting for gen z to grow up and start running for the positions held by gen x / boomers.
Bandaid solutions like increasing the number of foreign workers aren’t working and the cost of living is hitting insolvency. The older generations are realizing their retirement savings isn’t going to last and the younger generations are finding no place for them in this late stage capitalism.
It would be ideal if grassroots movements were able to put in younger and better representatives in these immediate coming elections. But sadly I think we’re stuck on this course until it’s consequences start directly effecting political class individuals’ ability to participate in government and retire.
CCP as in China? I think the moral problem with China is when they intimidate/manipulate people who genuinely wanted to be Canadians. We’ve also let them skirt our income qualification rules pretty much putting them in the front of the line for property sales.
As far as direct election/policy interference yea it’s definitely north american right wingers and their russian troll-farm agitators/boosters. Reddit in 2016 was infested with corroborating pro-trump accounts that were clearly just one person with several users.
I hope things continue in the direction of having 3 or 5 major parties in parliament. The reason our politicians are so low quality is because of lack of competition. It also makes it exponentially easier to use money to influence government policy when you only need to buy out one party.
