There Have Been Times I Liked The Villain Dynamics Better

  • I thought of Lost. They’re not all villains, but they’re all kind of shitty.

    • Good luck out there

  • I call universities white collar vocational schools because that’s what they’ve become.

  • The “studies” degrees and other liberal arts programs hearken to an earlier understanding of the university as being a place of higher learning. In the US, our view of post-secondary education has changed in recent decades and we now look at university degree programs largely as white collar vocational training. The old higher learning paradigms still exist, but now there is a societal expectation that they prove their economic value. Knowledge and wisdom no longer have inherent value, only that which can be exploited by capital. Higher learning in its traditional modality is a luxury.

    • There is very little point of talking about abortion to anyone over the age of 25. They've already made up their mind and you won't convince them to change. The only solution is voting.

  • I agree. I changed my mind about a lot of things in my 30s. My views on politics, religion, and social issues all changed.

    • The Fediverse Isn’t the Future. It’s the Present We’ve Been Denied.

  • It would help to change the nomenclature. Joining a Facebook “group” makes sense to anybody. Change insider jargon like “instance” to seeker-friendly verbiage like “village.”

    • Where do you draw the line between "staying informed" and avoiding all the stress in the news?

    Jump

  • With all those fluids, do you get up to pee like 19 times throughout the night? I would.

    • Democrats Must Become the Workers’ Party Again

    Jump

  • MAGA took over the GOP in just a few years. I think the same thing can happen to the DNC. Just need a little propaganda, some charismatic leadership, and people willing to slander the establishment.

    • NOBLE gas, you say?

    Jump

  • No war but gas war!

    • Talk of a "Feb 28 Economic Blackout" is spreading on social media. What is it?

    Jump

  • The big labor unions could form a labor party and run candidates in rust belt congressional districts and probably win.

    • How to get people to use Mastodon?

    Jump

  • I think changing the verbiage from “server” to “village” or “herd” or “neighborhood,” or just something more familiar to the non-techie, combined with your proposal of displaying a full welcome feed of suggested material would go a long way to improving retention and marketability. Other fediverse portals can learn this lesson too.
