  • How to say "Donald Trump" or "Elon Musk" without mentioning their names?

    Jump

  • "our current President" or "the current US President"

    I refuse to use his name myself, so I'm pretty practiced at this.

  • How to stay sane in a hostile environment that you can't get out of?

    Jump

  • I don't think staying sane is the correct response in that situation.

  • What are some free Android games that are really good?

    Jump

  • Hoplite

    Pixel Dungeon

  • Why are americans taking health advice from a former heroin addict ?

    Jump

  • It's not like we're all doing that. Or even most of us.

  • What are your favourite internet radio stations?

    Jump

  • Chicago Independent Radio Project, aka "Chirp"

  • If the 2028 United States presidential election was held today, who would you vote for?

    Jump

  • I vote plenty. What I don't do is vote for the lesser evil. An empty ballot is better than one that makes things worse.

  • If the 2028 United States presidential election was held today, who would you vote for?

    Jump

  • Fundraise and campaign for better candidates.

  • If the 2028 United States presidential election was held today, who would you vote for?

    Jump

  • Yes, people that expect better. We're the problem. You caught us. Good job.

  • Soundtrack for these dark times?

    Jump

  • "Father's Advice" from the album Songs for Parents Who Like Drugs by Hamil on Trial

    the entire album The Great Depression by Defiance, OH

    "SST" by Strike Anywhere

  • Why do some car lovers oppose bike infrastructure, when more bikes would mean fewer cars on the road?

    Jump

  • It would also mean more bikes on the road, and drivers don't like sharing the road with anything.

  • For those who's country's national language is NOT English, how fluent is your English compared to your country's language?

    Jump

  • Not European, but I'm a native English speaker. My parents both speak it and it's what we (almost exclusively) spoke at home. But my mother's family are relatively recent immigrants from England, FWIW.

    Though, honestly, most (but far from all) people I know also speaks English. On any given day I only have a handful of conversations in any other language.

    So I understand American movies pretty well. But I'm unable to compare to movies in the national language, because my country doesn't have a national language.

  • How does one fight the atomization of society, as Marx foretold years ago?

    Jump

  • Some yes, others no. But I'm not writing about alternate history, I'm saying things that we can do to fix where we're at now.

  • How does one fight the atomization of society, as Marx foretold years ago?

    Jump

  • By fighting the suburbs and car dependency.

    By getting involved in and promoting mutual aid networks and the gift economy.

    By normalizing multigenerational households, communes, and public events that involve people dining together.

    By regulating technology and social media to disincentivize dark patterns.

    With pronatalist policies like free preschool, subsidies for first-time homebuyers, strong family leave practices, and abolishing DST.

  • How do you fight doomerism/pessimism in these trying times?

    Jump

  • Get permission, I guess.

  • How do you fight doomerism/pessimism in these trying times?

    Jump

  • It's often translated "charity" in English but that's not going the concept justice. It's a generalized love for all the world, dealing with others without judgement, helping where you can but without the deep emotional connection of other kinds of love.

  • How old did you get your driver's license? Did you learn driving from a driving school or from parents? (or some friend or relative?)

    Jump

  • You know what'll help you stop being a puny wimp? Cycling everywhere.

    You're probably stuck with "cold" and "sweaty", though.

  • How do you fight doomerism/pessimism in these trying times?

    Jump

  • Thirded, I'd like to change my answer to be more like this answer, please.

  • How do you fight doomerism/pessimism in these trying times?

    Jump

  • With apathy, cynicism, and caritas.

  • At what point do you consider a person an alcoholic?

    1986 saw the release of both the Henson / Bowie film Labyrinth and the Ravensberger board game Labyrinth. What was going on in the zeitgeist that created these two seemingly unrelated classics?
