How do I view a book with the tilted perspective in your screenshot? It’s only showing flat pages for me.

If capitalism itself has been identified as the root of the problem, what other solution is there except overthrowing it completely? Do you prefer applying temporary bandaids indefinitely?

What’s funny is that ferrets have been domesticated for thousands of years for a similar purpose as cats but they’re still viewed as wild or exotic by many. California and Hawaii still prohibit ownership of ferrets out of fear that they will harm native wildlife populations. Yet cats are completely legal and are much more capable hunters in every situation other than underground burrows. And anyone who has owned or interacted with a pet ferret knows how completely useless they would be surviving in the wild on their own. They have zero self preservation instinct.

It’s the video fakes that are really going to upend society. When the tools to make convincing videos with nothing but an AI prompt are in everyone’s hands we are never going to trust anything ever again.

I don’t think this position qualifies for that meme because there are legions of people who agree.

Yes, but it still reeks of colonial insensitivity when a white person says it. Non-indigenous Americans should have replaced that word with Native by now.

Hold onto it long enough and it will be eventually. Home ownership is the only real cheat code we have against inflation.

lmao did you just fantasize about threatening a vegan while grocery shopping?

My dumb ass assuming India’s culture of reverence for cows would lead to slightly better treatment for them but forgetting that capitalism will always demand the most profitable option.

How is the dairy industry in India? I would assume it is nowhere near as cruel as it is in the West, where sadistic practices are incorporated at every stage of the process in the name of efficiency.

Not only do they make way more per hour worked but they also get healthcare, paid sick leave, and a retirement plan. A gig worker is precariously teetering on the edge of disaster with no recourse if they are unable to meet their required daily deliveries to pay for living expenses.

It’s sobering to think that those of us with this mindset would have had kids anyway if we were born a few decades earlier. Society all but coerced everyone to marry someone of the opposite sex and reproduce regardless of their wishes.
