Yep. The 14th 13th Amendment is anti-slavery but has a carve-out for prisoners. Prisons use slave labor and private prisons are companies that profit from slavery.

America is a slave state.

Why is every platform trying to become family friendly? There’s a LOT of money to be made on sex.

The man embarrassed the US by leaking their DMs.

When you do that to a nation about their classified intel, it’s called espionage. It’s a biiiit more serious than a social media hack.

In practical terms, espionage can affect thousands of lives directly and change the course of a war. Imagined the shitshow if someone released that kind of info now. It could jeopardize the Ukraine conflict. It’s treated as more serious than murder because it can be.

Corps figured out sustained income was better than marketing and making products. All they had to do was take away every digital product and turn it into a subscription.

Then they’ll buy each other up until they are an effective monopoly and raise prices forever.

I don’t see a way out of this for products already captured if you need them.

When I was in school, it was always specific models. They had to limit it to one brand and like 2-3 known good models to prevent the ones that could solve equations.

So there’s no reason for TI to ever lower prices.

That sounds like bullshit. Definitely need a source.

Yeah it’s definitely her fault Americans are misogynists and rather vote for a sexual predator than a woman.

It’s a “no true scotsman” but those aren’t leftists. Leftists don’t praise and try to emulate autocrats. Those are people pretending to be leftists who are trying to co-opt, radicalize, or confuse leftists.

Leftism by definition is opposed to authoritarians.

Oh god. If I hear myself through people’s speakers when on a call I cannot continue. It’s super effective at making me confused and distracted. That’s awful.

It was three or four months. Because I was doing a play in London and every night there was paparazzi outside. And I suddenly realized after like after I just had just been lazy and not changed my clothes for a few days, that they were not there. And I realized it’s probably because I’m wearing the same thing so it all looks like photos from the same day. So I was like ‘I’ll just continue wearing this.’ And they never came back because it all looks like the same picture in front of the same door.

It was pretty genius. No one wants to see 50 pics of the same person looking exactly the same.

Blue collar vs white collar. It’s a false conflict as they’re both working class. They should be training up against King Koopa!

There’s a rug on the wall. I didn’t think they know what a tapestry is.

That’s a minus from Biden not from both. Trump supporters aren’t upset over Gaza.

The meme says “American Republicans” so I thought we were considering this from an American pov. Definitions are going to change going to other countries and doubly so when talking about politics.

Thanks for your input. I learned a lot.

It has 2 common definitions:

1. Neo-liberal: a political approach that favors free-market capitalism, deregulation, and reduction in government spending
2. Leftism in general.

You’re almost never going to hear the right-wing use #1. Authoritarian communists will use #1 as a catch-all for modern capitalism.

Exactly. Self sufficiency is definitely a myth. Humans cannot survive alone for long. You simply cannot make tools that will keep you alive for long. You’ll have to venture back to civilization to get anything worked via metal at the very least. Just the basic crafts for clothing, shelter, tools and food is more than any one person can handle. It took whole tribes and villages even at the earliest points.

Now if you mean: how can I live in a cabin off the grid with minimal contact (1-2x a year) then that’s doable.

It’s so tiring seeing the men coming in and deliberately misunderstanding what’s being discussed. They will do literally anything, appear dumb as rocks, to not recognize rape culture and admit potentially any fault or responsibility towards it’s continued existence. They take everything personally instead of being able to see that societal problems there are also responsible for helping to fix.

Stupid sexy primes.

Odds on this meaning be gets a vacation day or just the opportunity to take an unpaid day off on a holiday?
