  • people keep talking about how "em dashes" are evidence of ai. i use them all the time. am i a computer now?

  • I may be using both unwittingly. Many programs on desktop autocomplete two dashes with a long dash (not sure which one) and on my mobile keyboard I use it reflexively and I think the easiest is the Em dash because I don't have to move my finger after the long press. It's such a small visual difference that I always forget which is which.

  • Interesting. I use them like this — looks cleaner with spaces.

  • I'm with you. Too much baggage with these terms. I'd rather extract the actual policies from them and run with those directly. Call it "supercapitalism" for all I care (although realistically I think "demsoc" would sound like an intuitive next step after "socdem").

    I also agree with the previous person that it's a time for revolutionary change. It's clear the current system needs to fundamentally transform to be stable, either by doubling down on capitalism at the expense of democracy, or by doubling down on democracy at the expense of capitalism. It's clear now that the two cannot coexist.

  • This and all of the above, exactly. She did nothing wrong but some frustrated idiot managed to find one frame, and from then on that frame was plastered all over the internet to mean "insane triggered feminist" or whatever. I'm sure this person is sick and tired of seeing her face be used for "triggered feminist", not sure she'd like it to be used for "triggered MAGA" too. I'm sure we can find an actual triggered MAGA since persecution fetish is their favorite thing.

  • I think your comment could be more productive if you drop the "solar shill" crap. Speaking as someone who's never taken sides in this (except against fossil fuels): we're all looking for solutions. And yes, nuclear is good and should grow, as should solar and others. We need to rely as little as possible on energy that harms the environment. Keep it positive because it's a shame for good points to go to waste because they're surrounded by cheap accusations.

  • Could be. It was definitely a passive-aggressive move against Israel intended to put them in an uncomfortable position and make people think harder about their demonic acts, as well as get media to report on them.

  • You're right. But they also need hope alongside what you said. Specifically, hope that there's a future to fight for and that they're not alone.

    That wouldn't be a very leftist thing to do. That hypothetical administration would ironically be a different flavor of right wing, but whatever. Words don't mean anything to these people.

  • The future is still not written. There's no reason to give up in advance as we really don't know how things will shake out, there's so much stuff happening. Make sure to make connections you can fall back on for rainy days. Hang in there, friend.

    Appreciate the kind words, you seem like a good person too.

  • Then there must be pushback from the people who know better. Raising the alarm is not brainwashing — the brainwashing is when MAGA types tell people there's no threat.

    Also, Europe needs to get its shit together and stop pulling punches with regard to helping Ukraine.

  • Don't do it. It's not worth it. It makes you bitter more often than numb. It's better for your mental health to channel your frustrations into something useful. Get involved somehow, make yourself useful for others. Collaborate with some direct aid org. Start making content on the internet where you speak your mind and talk about how you see the world, you might end up turning a few people.

    The thing I've noticed is that a lot of the alienation we feel is because most paid work doesn't really touch people. It's either too abstract (office work that only helps your company make money by servicing other companies so that they can make money) or direct servicing of disgruntled customers in a hurry (most customer facing work, like barista, cashier, call center, etc.). Really there's few jobs where you feel like you do something worthwhile, so try to get involved in something for your soul, something that contributes to directly building the world you want to build.
