"Something something sheer fucking will"

...yeah

I already have me copy!

So we're eating leviathon reproductive organs? Sexy

Ok i guess I'm Godwinning but how come nobody else said 'hitler youth' yet?

I think it's that, and also that these publications are written for the exact people their language is targeting.

Good point... That must be why i read these things and greet this weird feeling they I've heard this language, verbatim. I see myself holding a stale donut at every mgmt meeting I've ever been forced to attend. They're not really talking to you. They're just talking points. Points you then see repeated in media ad nauseam.

It's not only demeaning because it's so obviously bullshit, it's, it's... also paternal or something.

But maybe this is like you say, that it is even worse, they they're not really talking to us at all.

it normalizes the kind of dialogues they're having behind closed doors and helps shape the direction of that dialogue as well.

If the media aren't even talking to us, but the caps, could that fact be why online libs are so consistently arrogant and dismissive?

Believing a lie like OPs piece means adopting the language too, and the imagined position of power that comes with it. It sounds just like how their bosses talk.

Threatening that lie also threatens their imagined position of power. Their arrogance is mental protection from the chains that bind em.

Sorry I ramble a bit, your comment was insightful and got me thinking.

Luckily, if you're like me and didn't read this piece precisely because you knew it would make you angry, rest assured you don't have to.

Judging by genzedongs excellent summary, it's clear that once you've read one of these garbage capitalist apologia pieces you've read "all" of 'em.

Well i really can't imagine either future president is gonna do a good job at foreign relations. Biden will complete his zionist project and/or Trump will probably do the same except maybe fight with bibi on whose contractors gets to make most of the money (talking out of my ass here) rebuilding the wreckage.

This might help https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uXnG53304Hk

I think it's super not real. So unreal it cycles back to real again. Poor thailand boy.

I wonder. why was Zillow referenced so often in this piece?

"I'm getting better! I'm Happy! I'm happy!"

I heard UB40 but we might have been in different threads

Ahahaha i forgot about how segway revolutionized the way to get hit by a car

Is ... this a bit? I need another cuppa

If reddit provides value to you, extract that shit. That's what it's doing to its users after all.

Can we double-defeferate?

(Jesus, you'd think I was high or something. Just riffing.)

I am, maybe that's why I made it all the way down here ;).

Might there actually be utility to something like this? Scrunch the spheres together but make invisible everything that is not an interface and label the faces accordingly.

What if the labels of the faces on the 3D (pressure points or interfaces) were like things that kept the 'soap bubbles' from merging? Like for example: science watchers of MSM being kept from understanding climate change

Is that what you were thinking?

"aficionado" is the correct word here. We borrowed it from the Spanish. Oh but don't think i didn't have to look it up too (i had guessed 'afficonado')

K this reminded me of a stupid story. I used to wait tables and i had this regular who would always get the same thing: 6 pickle spears and a bottle of mustard.

Normally pickle spears and mustard's free of course, but she'd use half a bottle every time so we worked out a cost to charge.

Oh! And for dessert, a towering side plate of reddi-whip whipped cream.

I always wanted to ask what was up with that but never did. I wonder how she's doing?
