  • Bold of you to assume they won't just market to the top 10%. They already make up over 55% of market trends and are steadily growing. Eventually, companies will consider it too risky or burdensome to market and sell to the bottom 90%.

    And those people will also be fucked over by these companies.

  • Hey... Don't limit your creativity.

    We could name a few flesh eating parasites and leech species after him too

  • Didn't they also kill the girl?

  • That would be so freaking cool

  • Folks

  • Hey... That's unfair.

    Don't forget Oklahoma and Missouri (best pronounced misery).

  • Word.

    Jump
  • I love Libreoffice but the dictionary on there is abysmal. Like fully wretched.

    I'm sure there's a way to add others but I just haven't discovered it yet.

  • Ahh yes... The very free and fair 2028 elections we'll being having. The Republicans definitely won't try every trick in the book to manipulate them or stop them outright. Nevermind establishment Dems fucking over primaries to shoehorn in their milquetoast candidates, while fucking over actual progressives!

    I am so looking forward to voting our way out of fascism/ a dictatorship, as has absolutely been exhibited to work multiple times through history.

  • It should be. Make it as inconvenient and expensive to own big and/or loud cars. In fact, let's structure society that anyone can drive but they understand they are last priority in the infrastructure queue.

    Pedestrians, bikes, trains, buses/trams, and emergency vehicles all come first, then industrial vehicles (material transport or construction vehicles or any other large commercial/industrial vehicle, then and only then come personal vehicles.

    Small, electric, quiet cars get first priority in this section, then hybrids and efficient gas cars, and then finally and only then, big trucks.

    But ban them being overly polluting and loud. Big is already enough of a burden.

  • The tyranny or community school

    Or just this. They fucking hate other people so much, even their own neighbors. Y'all ever been to a conservative town or suburb? You can feel the tension of everyone being terrified of each other. Ready to turn on anyone in a moment if they do anything "out of line". It's a terrible and miserable way to live, the problem is they keep trying to put it on everyone else too.

  • I hate to be the one to tell you this. If you mostly agree with a fascist, maybe that's a sign of something. And yes, shaming fascists is in fact, a good thing.

  • They're using funds and resources to build ai bullshit that very few are asking for. It's the fact that there is already limited resources for open source and libre softwares, and out of all the things they are choosing those that are already so clearly disdained by their dwindling user base

  • Imperialism has turned inwards on the core

  • It's pretty bland, but it's meant to be. It's main function is to be the second most fingerprint resistant and private browser. It's second is the ability to use Mullvad VPN tunnels per tab or domain.

    Besides that, it is not recommended that you use it for logging in to sites or for personalized use cases. If you add extensions like a password manager for said logging in, you fingerprint yourself.

    Honestly, I'm going to be blunt, I think it is great for light scrolling and some media consumption, but I don't see its use case. It is faster than Tor and so if you find it filling a need where you might not need Tor, great! Otherwise, I don't really see its appeal.

    If I really want to blend in, I'll use Tor, and otherwise I enjoy having my browser customized to my needs. Floorp is my daily driver, and I know I'm super fingerprintable using it. I just don't care for the things I'm looking up and the fact that I have ad blockers and other privacy features set up.

    Mullvad doesn't have vertical tabs, it is lacking web apps, it doesn't include much customization, and its settings are really sparse. You can of course go to about::config and change whatever you want (as long as the browser has it, so not vertical tabs), but then you defeat the purpose of them having limited options: to hide your fingerprint a little less than Tor but much more than other browsers

    All this to say, it's a good browser and I am sure there are others who have found much more use out of it than I have, but it's not a daily driver for me.

  • Genuine question, what direction would you like to see society go towards? Even if it doesn't have a label.

    I'd love to hear your thoughts, if you have time.

  • They are not the bastion of liberty that everyone thought they were. Oh look, proved once more. Capitalism corrupts and corrodes every single social program, legislation, and benefit in society.

    In a turn that so many people saw coming, social democracy is not immune to the wiles and whims of capital and corruption. Just like any other form of capitalism, it too will decay and dissolve. The rich want nothing but literal, chain and whip slavery over the poor of the world. These assholes are so mentally ill, they genuinely CANNOT stop hoarding, and they are so twisted by power and wealth, they wholly envision themselves as gods.

    This is what liberals fail to see: if the rich truly got/ will get their way, we will be chattel slaves for them and then when their AI gets good enough, they will hunt us for sport.

    I don't mean to sound like a tweaking lunatic, but I am so positive that if there is anything that we enjoy or have, the rich want us not to. They are so petty and obsessed, any situation we are in that is not literally beneath their feet is too good for us worthless poors.

    We are standing on a MAJOR precipice, the liberal capitalism of old is gone, and they are gunning for everything we are and have now.

  • Oh absolutely. Please do not hear me blaming all bigotry and racism on the West. Far far from it.

    There has always been an "othering" of people. I mean in Honduras, the Mayans trampled tons of smaller tribes and subjected them to their ethnocentric views. This is nothing new.

  • Are there any real socialist countries? If there is a place where the workers have actually seized the means of production and the capitalist elite have been thrown off, I would sure AF love to know about that.

  • The effects of colonialism are enormous. And as much as we wanted to see resilient populations cast off their oppressors' narratives, many have become ingrained and now seen as cultural.

    This is one example, as in this article, in Honduras darker skinned people are looked down on. Those who are lighter skinned are more beautiful. It's especially bad in Puerto Rico where many descendants of African slaves remained. They are not only looked down upon, but actually mistreated.

    Another example is queerphobia in Africa, specifically Christian majority nations (Muslim queerphobia is a whole other discussion). We have evidence from archeology and myths that precolonial societies by and large were fine with differently gendered people and with homosexuality. It was the Europeans who forced their fundamentalist views onto the colonized.

    Unfortunately, still to this day, that remains among the most bigoted and threatening places to live as a queer person. And they have internalized it. Recently when the Anglican Church installed a woman head bishop who is also queer affirming, they split off into their own group. Though they had been complaining for years about the white nations forcing their depraved views on them.

    It's very sad, and honestly a reminder that we are all susceptible to propaganda and founding myths.
