The Quuuuuill

why would we make driving rules surrounding that exactly one vehicle doesn’t have speakers and some headphones have passthrough?

the nazi ones, as with always. and i’ve encountered them. they exist and they terrify me. they terrify me because they really and truly believe the lies they speak

then i’m confused because those aren’t new. those are the oldest designs on the market

semi-banned, under conditions*

end of the day these big tech companies need us in ways we don’t need them

it’s really not though. it’s way easier to just not put on headphones than it is to put on headphones and prove you had them in pass through sound mode

completely different scenario. real apples to cats comparison

and thus america became that much more like russia

pretty much yeah. only it’s not that the cat grows upeand has to deal with how gorgeous it is, it’s that the cat, who was always a skunk and didn’t realize, just needed to keep looking for their people. there’s a line in one piece

“the world is too vast for anyone to be born into it alone. take to the sea. you will find your people”

we had this book! it’s about self perception. i don’t think it was literally titled this, but i vividly remember the illustrations and it starts with that the other cats don’t like the smelly cats stench, and then they don’t like its games, but then it finds some animals that appreciate its stench and doing handstands with it, so they go home to their community where the smelly cat meets its birth mother, a skunk. on the last page the smelly cat is shown with the skunk, and they’re both skunks

where you at that they haven’t? asking for a researcher

No I know the PACs have more monetary power than we do. But Kamala stopped getting as much funding when she turned to them instead of us. The PACs love republicans because the republicans will do anything for money

For the downvoters, this is a thing you’ll hear a lot around military people

still. you hit that button enough times, it sinks in. i know it because i’ve seen it. it’s possible to wake people up. it’s just challenging

Staying put and giving Reddit money is the real loss. We fundamentally disagree about what the fight is and what winning looks like. Also I don’t know where you’re reaching your conclusion that there’s no technical information here. We have wikis, we have discussions, we have high quality interactions. But the core essence of how we think we take the power back on the internet is different, and we’re not ever going to overcome this, so I think this is the end of the conversation

They need to be immune to so many different PACs. And they need to learn the lesson Biden and Kamala didn’t: you actually get more funding my courting us, the people, than you do the corporations. Yeah, the corporations have more money, and they’ll give you some, but they’ll give more to the republican candidate, and what’s more, there’s more of us.

we’re the product, not the customer. reddit doesn’t own anything of value that we can’t have for ourselves or do for ourselves here, or on other, non-reddit communication networks. they didn’t want us to leave, they wanted us to change behavior to match their vision. instead, we’re here, having this conversation away from their influence. we won this small victory in a grander fight against hypercapitalism. the real challenge is that the banks choose winners and losers

what do you mean?

What a terrible terrible example. Bottled water is just theft

his suffering is self inflicted. there is a way for his suffering to end and it’s to learn hoarding all the wealth in the world and all the power has not and will not make him happy
