I’ve seen you around and have a vaguely positive association with your username, take that as you will

Unexpected!

I recognize you!

I recognize you!

I know you for being both conscientious and fun 🙏

Also for having interesting experiences to share (though, as you note, everyone is a dog on the internet, dog)

Like seeing you around, can confirm; do like you for being here

Sells our military secrets, murders our citizens, interferes with our politics…

Israel is such an outstanding ally!

Damn, really removing all excuses for me not to edit the photo? Fine, I’ll open up paint real quick, but this is basically slave-driving, I’ll have you know

Just a meme scavenger, sir, doing my best to be entertaining!

I searched for a version with the text not cut off, but I couldn’t find it, which meant my only alternative was to change it myself.

That sounded too much like work

Honestly, even moderating ~10 comms is a bit much. I couldn’t imagine doing 25, much less 125.

I wasn’t making any kind of statement about what should happen, just a prediction of reality.

I was just being cheeky in any case.

“I feel the immense pain of how hard all victims are fighting for themselves because we know absolutely no one will fight for us. GOD BLESS ALL SURVIVORS.”

Will she fight for them, or will her GOP affiliation win out?

That sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. OnlyFans as-is struggles with accountability, appropriate age, and verifiable consent. Imagine that with a decentralized system of enforcement and accountability.

Perfection

Capitalism is simply a system where the ownership of capital is primarily by an investor class using limited liability corporations in a market system.

Given insufficient restraints, the investor class will act in their own interests - that is to say, calcifying their control over capital through the use of clientism and legal force, just as pre-capitalist aristocracies did, up to and including detachment from the market. Capitalist elites do not care about capitalism. Capitalism is the ladder (however unfair and cruel that ladder is, mind you) that they pull up behind them once they achieve success.

Elites always want to become an aristocracy, and given enough time and power, they will become an aristocracy in a society that refuses to confront them, and dismantle capitalism - again, itself not exactly a humane system - to implement an even more oppressive apparatus in its place.

Unfortunately, dismantling capitalism is easier than dismantling an aristocracy. If they succeed, the task of left-wing anticapitalists becomes harder rather than easier.

Me, a contractor, warily eyeing the skeleton next to me:

Yeah, don’t fucking come here. Not now, not in the future. We can’t be trusted again for a very long time - longer than just an election or two.

Fantastic idea, I hope it becomes mainstream. I’ve been meaning to try plant-based meat alternatives for a while, for environmental reasons.
