@coolboymew@cassidyclown@Inginsub "dear mr. robbiee I hate u and u weird no cap man bun!!! So I switched telling teachers I don't appreciate you" Imagine going into middle school education and getting bullied out of a job by some sped kid
@luithe It's honestly hard to process stuff like that until you experienced it You spend your whole life in a somewhat isolated Plains city, then when you're driving around the Midwest and find out there's a part of the country that gets both Indianapolis and Cincinnati FM radio (both of which are far larger than the "regional hub" you grew up in) you start to process how different and disorienting leaving where you're originally from can be
@p@Tony@Moon Either use entryists to screw with the protocols Fedi is built on or start screwing with upstream providers to quash instances friendly to badthink. They have a lot of resources to come up with ways to consolidate it under their control.
@ArdainianRight I was going to say, Musk and SpaceX are the closest we have, and all that's trying to do is put America's space program back where it was 40-50 years ago. Now he's become public enemy #1 to terminally online libs thanks to Twitter, and ask Trump, Shkreli, and the crypto industry how that ends.
@ArdainianRight I mean, what would something similar look like to your modern Anglo Marxist? A semi full of taxpayer-funded food parked in front of a block of apartments, with a cornucopia of humanity all standing together and negotiating who gets what so everyone's interests are served? I get a lot of Marx's critiques of capitalism, but the stark materialism of the "solutions" leave society soulless and turn us into little more than a herd of cattle.
I think the problem is that we don't dream anymore and haven't for a very long time. Our "visionaries" are fellow insects like Steve Jobs and Jeff Bezos. Everything's about the now. Those old women financing a cathedral they'll never see finished is what a healthy society looks like and we won't see attitudes like that in our lifetimes. I know millennials know this is wrong, I hear the snark about inheritances getting turned into cruises and RVs all the time, but I don't see any attempts to right the ship, only bitch that their pile of crap isn't as nice as Daddy's.
@ArdainianRight As much as those types like to bloviate about "community" and "solidarity", the notion of a people coming together from all strata to produce something beautiful and that everyone can be proud of is such a foreign concept to them. Honestly, I think it's because they fundamentally don't know what a society like that looks like and want to chase the notion of having one without admitting that all of those institutions they've concern-trolled to death were centerpieces of what used to be "the community".
@icedquinn The guy that it happened to is proof that NPCs are real "Amazon held my home hostage for three months because a driver accused me of using Power Word: Gamer to his boss. This makes me mad enough to maybe consider using less Amazon products at some point."
@noyoushutthefuckupdad@Fuyutsuki Maybe it's just me liking heavier stuff, but I thought Alice in Chains was the best band to come from the early 90s Seattle grunge movement
@coolboymew At first I said "Bitch looks like Lord Farquaad", then I found out it was Fable and remembered every Fable character is an ugly fogbreather

@galena@vriska There's still little remnants here or there. 8/sp/, now on sportschan, has a site dedicated to charting what gets to steal and when. https://getwatcher.net/
@mangeurdenuage It's very close to Springfield, so you can visit both the Goat Tower and the restaurant on Route 66 that created the corn dog all in one day :tenshi:
