Fucking hate this country. My aircraft was changed to a 737Max

Found out Apple was stealing small amounts of money from my bank account for over two years, got nearly $700 back

Lets gooooo!

someone make my thoughts into an effort post my brain is too fried right now

what im thinking is that anti-capitalism, or anti-establishment themes, have been rising in media recently. squid games, the boys, parasite, etc. there are loads of satires of modern politics about how rich people suck and are racist - the menu, bodies bodies bodies, and some i havent seen like dont look up. these are permitted to be produced and marketed to mass audiences by capitalists because crucially, they dont actually present any solutions. they show rich people being bad and poor people being fucked over, but the resolution is always just "shits fucked, oh well, we live in a bad world". they point out that things are bad but don't entertain the notion that things could be better.

consider how many movies and shows criticise modern politics and society for example - it seems like there are several of these movies made every year that become successful. now compare that to how much media is made that presents a solution, or shows people fighting back. how many popular shows have presented joining a union as a solution? how many have portrayed communism positively? how many show the satisfaction in the fruits of your labour being owned by you, rather than how many show how disheartening it is for them to be stolen?

anti-capitalism is for sale. you can consume the products that make you feel like something is changing, because some people in hollywood wanted to tell a story that acknowledges that things are bad. ive watched three shows in the past few years that actually do present radical solutions - the boys, andor and fallout (all sci-fi lol, i dont even like sci-fi that much). fallout shows communists as decent people, and capitalists as evil, but thats about it. the boys is kinda about a group of anti-fascist revolutionaries/vigilantes, but is always teetering on the edge of liberalism and seems more concerned with being anti-trump specifically as of season 4. also it constantly tries to prove that being too violent in resistance to fascism is bad. andor is actually good so far, presenting small anti-fascist acts as meaningful, mainly the funeral in the last episode, and will in season 2 lead to andor joining the resistance for real and becoming a legit freedom fighter. also it has space stalin.

its very ironic that disney and amazon are the companies producing the most radical shows, but again, they're profitable right now and i guess not enough of a threat in their messaging to stop being made.

Not a fan of Kopala, but it is funny watching all these right ring spaces fall into misogynistic angst over the slightest possibility of a female president.

hey remember that time when we all changed our PFP to dirt_owl's for the day? we should do that again with another user

I experimented with League of Legends in college but i did not inhale.

Hexbear will grow larger

I got a signed copy of Capital from the man himself, Carl Marks.

I tried touching grass once and the grass didn’t even try and start a pointless argument with me. Grass needs to log on and touch keyboard

we have the best taglines folks, many people are saying it

I think you could describe Connor O'Malley's stuff as having a sort of Midwestern Gothic bent. There's a strong sense of regionality (fucking Rod Blagojevich turns up in the "Fuck Coin" video), and his style feels very influenced by the southern gothic undercurrent a lot of early Adult Swim stuff had going on.

Periodically shooting a gun into the air in the courtyard of my Fediverse instance to keep the gentrifiers away.

Recently I have seen instances of revisionism where users claim UlyssesT was a "bad poster". Such perverse liberalism will not be tolerated.

If Kamala picks Buttigieg then both campaigns are running Thot Daugher - Gay Son tickets.

I was at a coffee shop this morning, and the barista asked the lady for her name on the cup and she said “Kamala”. The white lady in front of me shouted “You go girl!”. The line started cheering. The whole coffee shop was clapping. A man wearing a MAGA hat threw it to the ground mumbling slurs under his breath as he left.

I hate this town

We love this thing of ours

Fuck I love the weird political furries so much

Just came across a strange internet cat and their bio has a shout out to Gaddafi lmao

My cousin told me something really sweet today. We're both in our 40s. He's very into classic rock, and I also still love the bands I grew up listening to. What I didn't know until tonight is that one day when we were about 11 years old, he was over at our house and I played my dad's Abbey Road cassette, and he was totally floored! Before that, he'd only heard pre-65 Beatles, and he had no idea how much their sound changed. So he was talking about what a big impact that moment had on him and all the music he discovered after that. It was a really cool memory to share with my cousin!

Someone in another group I work with got promoted to manager. I thought they were already a manager because they don't really do anything, but I guess there's always the possibility to do less.

Sorry, but the trans mega will soon be subsuming the entire site. All megas will be trans megas in future

It turns out the classic kitchen sponge, the ones with a hard side and a softer side, is a major source of microplastics and we just rub that stuff onto our plates and cooking utensils.

We are so cooked as a species.

Merry Hexmas everyone!

I literally missed both the trans pronoun and vegan struggle sessions as I was too busy with work. Probably good I missed the former, my thinking had not yet developed on this matter.

in north korea the supreme leader once asked me to play this card game i've never heard of before with him but when i said yes he simply threw the deck of playing cards onto the ground and instructed me to pick them all up

Coworker just donutmogged a whole zoom call

Happy birthday to the greatest website on the internet!

It's a great honor to be here with all of you.

It's pretty interesting that in English the word for "translate" (from one language to another) means moving from one place to another, but for example Chinese and Finnish use words relating to rotation instead, the opposite of translation. Do any languages use a metaphor for reflection or dilation for this?

I can't believe it's been four years! happy anniversary everyone
