that have basically only proliferated because of techbro dipshits mucking about with things they don’t understand

I hate touchscreens too, but the reason they’re so prevalent is they’re cheaper than engineering and manufacturing a bunch of custom physical buttons and knobs

as the Clash said, “You have the right to free speech, as long as you’re not dumb enough to actually try it”

macerated_baby_presidents,

I won (according to me anyway) an irl argument with a Zionist last week. Internet fighting is helpful background as long as you touch grass a little bit to temper it.

macerated_baby_presidents,

to be clear this is satire

macerated_baby_presidents,

i am literally a member of a trotskyist party rn and “tankie” is still a Manchurian Agent “kill this man” trigger word for me

good username but you should probably develop your political views beyond Balzac’s

macerated_baby_presidents,

Hopefully this isn’t the usual response. Did you call back the detox place you were talking to in January? If you’ve gotten stuff tidied up for suicide you are certainly prepared for inpatient. Take that plan/surrender energy and give them a call before business hours end today. The option to kill yourself will always be there, so don’t be in a rush.

If you were in the Midwest I’d offer my couch + kitchen for a few weeks. Props to you for getting through the winters.

I used to cut myself when I was a teenager, didn’t see a way out. All my mental health problems went away once I cut off family, even though I was struggling to make rent and stay fed. I had no idea that’s what I needed until I did it. It’s end of capitalism shit, right? It was easier for me to imagine suicide than a better life. Maybe you need rehab “vacation” and hormones, maybe you need a $70 plane ticket to anywhere. It can only be confirmed by trying shit out. If you’re thinking about suicide, turn your life upside down first and see if it sticks. Everything is on the table! The worst that can happen is you kill yourself on some beach in the Bahamas instead of here. Really fuck up some tourists’ day. But I hope you’re able to find a safe harbor from the world so we can fight for a better one.

macerated_baby_presidents,

Well look, we’ve got two capitalist parties and both of them are bad in different ways. You might reasonably argue that Biden would yield better domestic policy w.r.t. culture war stuff, and that Trump would (through sheer incompetence / disregard of state bureaucracy / campism from the arguer) result in better foreign policy, etc. etc. I think that means that Biden is not strictly better than Trump. Which tradeoffs to take is an analytical task that’s beyond me; depends on how ready the left is to respond. Luckily I live in a blue state so my presidential vote doesn’t matter.

If your state has an uncommitted option in the primary, I encourage you to do that. The campaign in Michigan clearly spooked the Dems, and the same result in more states might result in federal policy changes.

She said ignorant things about veganism

macerated_baby_presidents,

this is true, but shouldn’t manufacturers just put a paper seal on the top of the ice cream? they do that for jars of peanut butter and such. I think this is just to make shoplifting more annoying

macerated_baby_presidents,

well goddamn. Too early to tell but I hope I was wrong about news coverage / sticking power. I’m going to a vigil tonight.

macerated_baby_presidents,

punished-bernie we need a humanitarian pause by Israel. No ceasefire; Hamas can keep fighting

endless and expensive wilderness therapy programs for troubled teens in Utah

oh jeez.

also please note that My Old School is actually about Bard College, where both Chambers and Steely Dan went to school. That’s a “neat, alma mater mentioned” kind of remark not a “music is secretly talking about me” kind of remark. Weiss L

macerated_baby_presidents,

As I’ve learned more about capitalism, I’ve been less enthusiastic about market effects and paying more attention to social effects. Being vegan or vegetarian is FAR more acceptable than it was a few years ago. One of my friends sought out my advice before going vegetarian and I think I provided a good example leading up to his decision. We’re building groundwork for a movement; animal welfare activists made it socially unacceptable to wear fur, leading to less demand (and less tortured minks) and a number of countries outright banning fur farms.

macerated_baby_presidents,

well then they’d have to actually do the policy which would defeat the whole point of a bourgeois election

macerated_baby_presidents,

Why does this even matter. Extra virgin olive oil is way too fucking expensive to deep fry with even if I wanted to smoke out my kitchen and eat olive oil flavored chimichangas. Whole debate is bikeshedding for people with nice kitchens in their suburban homes and nothing else to do except pontificate about how seed oils are going to make you trans. Including Kenji, who in a just world would be court-enjoined from publishing links to EVOO deep frying fume analyses until the price falls below $0.30 per fluid ounce. And I thought I was living like a king, upgrading from canola to soybean.

While I’m at it let me take this moment to further complain about the absolutely piss-poor state of American rental stock kitchens. I have NEVER lived in an apartment that had an actual exhaust venting to building exterior, only those bullshit filters underneath a rangetop microwave. Everything gets coated in gummy dust from the aerosols that are recirculated and you can watch a CO2 meter climb to the maximum reading as the oven warms up. If you want to char anything you need to pull down the smoke detector - god help you in a big apartment building where they’re hardwired and all you can do is poke the button once it’s already started beeping. All of this is academic. Go fry something

macerated_baby_presidents,

not a hot mic, but Ratner gaffe is funny.

He said: “We also do cut-glass sherry decanters complete with six glasses on a silver-plated tray that your butler can serve you drinks on, all for £4.95. People say, ‘How can you sell this for such a low price?’ I say, because it’s total crap.”

He added “We even sell a pair of gold earrings for under £1, which is cheaper than a prawn sandwich from Marks & Spencer. But I have to say that the sandwich will probably last longer than the earrings.”

After the speech, the value of the Ratner group plummeted by around £500 million, which very nearly resulted in the group’s collapse. Ratner hired a chairman in an attempt to stabilise the situation, and was dismissed by the new company chairman in November 1992. The group changed its name to Signet Group in September 1993.
