Some people can get rid of environmental allergies by eating better. It basically just improves your body’s ability to deal with them.

A heavily militarized police force enfringes on our contitutional right to assemble and protest.

I saw this before somewhere and a commenter said they didn’t actually know if there were bears or not in these places when they named them. This had more to do with the constellation Ursa (bear) major/minor (north star). But works out to being a nice mnemonic.

“I’m looking for a job with benefits”

The school matters more in grad school, and more than that its who you end up working with

Maybe it was an innovation but we don’t have Mordor in our homes.

Im imagining some of my house mates over the years and the inconsiderate nature in which they closed doors in the middle of the night. It’d be nice if that didn’t have to be a concern. No idea what could be done, but so many nights it effected my sleep. Its my biggest pet peeve.

I don’t really like doors. Not their function but their design. Everyone’s just satisfied with the status quo, like basically the same door for millennium, and no one thinks we should innovate?

This is human exceptionalism propaganda

Its close. This is more rounded. I don’t think you can do that without an extension. And those aren’t the default icons, which really helps complete the look here.

What’s with these sites that don’t even let you opt out of unnecessary cookies? A brief look at their privacy policy is a nightmare.

There is something that works better though. Co-ops offer a path towards democratic control of the economy and it is more than just idealistic.

Greater job stability than traditional businesses
Higher productivity
Higher profits
More resiliant during economic downturn
Decrease in inequality
Greater job satisfaction

Kind of feels like I’m beating off a dead horse when I talk about cooperatives, but multi stakeholder models can solve a lot of the issues with publicly traded stocks. Namely the perverse incentive to appease shareholders over workers or consumers. At least give workers majority stake, so they can install their own board of directors instead of all the voting power unfairly given to the sociopaths with the most money.

I’m all for getting rid of it completely though.

Why wouldn’t we at least want democracy in the workplace?

I’m partial to a Cooperative Economy, a form of stateless market socialism, in conjunction with something like the Economy for the Common Good as an alternative to GDP, a measure for economic growth, and can be used for the purpose of determining tax brackets and providing subsidies for example. Implementing the right incentives to make the transition could begin to provide a significant break from capitalism.

Framework 13 pro. Its US, but it looks like a solid laptop with excellent battery life, premium build quality, it has modular forward and backwards compatible upgrades between generations, and ships with Linux. Not a lot left to be desired with this one in my opinion.

System76 is Linux first. They’re the ones developing the cosmic desktop environment, which is a gift to humanity, and may help ease your mind when buying from the US.

Really wish more people understood cooperatives.

This is why I’m an advocate of stateless market socialism via cooperatives. Theyre tried and true, and who doesn’t want their workplaces democratically controlled? Multi stakeholder models don’t have to mess with your retirement or university endowments. I believe it is the requisite to dismantling capitalism.

The Invite (2026).

The smash bros cast is gonna have an orgy.

Its a conservative supreme court, you don’t have to be a single issue voter. Progressive candidates can try to make promises to get elected, but no ones going to be able to take your guns away. Even a progressive court wouldn’t be able to do that much. A law for background checks or waiting periods on purchases might be upheld by a progressive court, but the right ultimately won’t be infringed.
