In the United States (the prison capital of the world), prisons are nothing more than the spiritual successor to slavery in all but name. They are a racist institution in a country that was openly founded on colonialism and genocide....
I’ve thought about it, and I think most people would be fine if we had kind of “high security hospitals” for those egregious cases that spring to mind (that are of course not representative). But that could be like, I dunno, 1% of the current carcéral infrastructure.
Google fired 28 employees in connection with sit-in protests at two of its offices this week, according to an internal memo obtained by The Verge. The firings come after 9 employees were suspended and then arrested in New York and California on Tuesday....
Like you do it for mutu bux that can be redeemed in the local swag shop for things like seeds (good for 1 growing season) and good-feels (license to make a pop-up community garden in the square (garden for display purposes only))
I’m curious what you mean. I’ll admit that I wrote it off as plain platform capitalism, just from the headline. But sometimes people come up with these things with good intentions
It feels especially relevant to this community because I’m picking it up again after a hiatus of over five years. I tried back then but got hard stuck on a puzzle that I just didn’t get, and I refused to look up the answer and spoil the joy of discovery for myself.
Anyway, playing it is 2024, after walking around for 30 minutes to refresh myself, I was able to solve almost instantly 😅 so now I’m back into the game and loving it!
It’s a quintessential patient game, with its slow pace (including the walking pace - glacial when compared to action games), and puzzles that you can puzz over in between sessions (even for years like in my case).
I told this story to a friend, and they asked “so did this puzzle take you 30 minutes to solve, or 6 years?” Which is a thought!
Similar thing happened to my dad. He was slowly going blind from cataracts, like he couldn’t even make out the dinner table in front of him. He just wasn’t mentioning it until it became untenable.
Then we found out there’s a free surgery to fix it, and now suddenly he’s got clear 20/20 vision at almost 80! He’s got better vision than I do lol
I know how you mean it, but I would still consider civilisation part of nature. Like an anthill is part of nature even if it was “invented” by ants, etc
For action movie fans, I’ll always recommend The Raid: Redemption. It’s a good gateway to martial arts movies, which can lead to a whole slew of other more esoteric recommendations
Hmm almost seems preferable to stay “normal” and try to come up with elaborate coping mechanisms.
Like I can’t do a single thing at work without writing it down on a pad of paper. It’s like my conscience and short and long term memory and fidget toy all wrapped in one.
Man I’ve been taking it easy at work ever since getting layed off; anyway, but a co-worker of mine on the same team works like a demon. Easily, easily closing double the tickets that I do.
Anyway, young guy, good for him. The shitter is we both got the same piddly little 2% raise.
I’m working my wage and not planning to stick around anyway, but I feel bad for those who aren’t totally jaded yet. It’s so disappointing
fucking beautiful. almost a year into the 'verse and its starting to become more functional than that R place... better than i imagined. (cdn.catsweat.com)
