Every decision you make and everything that happens is based on conditions, and nothing exists outside of conditions.

In the ultimate sense there’s no such thing as free will, because everything has a conditioned existence.

California typewriter is a really neat documentary that scratches the surface.

Fusion power and small modular reactors.

Read Engels - Socialism: Utopian and Scientific, especially the section on Owenism.

Does anyone else find “speed coding” and X-day code competitions weird? Like I’m sure they do the same for painting, short story writing, and other creative things, but the point of all these is to have fun while doing it, not arbitrarily put yourself under pressure.

Someone should train an AI artist on shitty graphic design is my passion layouts from the 90s and see what it comes up with.

Clients: “This thing is ugly. No I will not elaborate.”

AI plasters every page and button with this background

Great scene.

A dog’s tongue all flopped out. Or maybe any noodley-shaped animal doing noodely things.

Looks rad, nice.

Heated foot bath. They’re not that expensive, but its real roman emperor hours if you work from home and can have a jacuzzi for your feet.

Once you get good at it at home, it gets hard to justify buying coffee out, ever. Paying like $6 USD for something you can make better at home.

Please also report people being rude, that’s a temp ban here.

It’s the most anti-communist country on the planet, so there’s not much hope. Talk of raising wages or organizing collectively, or not agreeing with US imperialist foreign policy gets you labelled a commie / tankie by its witch-hunting, McCarthyite majority.

If there’s a list of countries to next take the communist road, the US would be dead last.

This has never done anything in countries that use it, like SK, Japan, Australia, etc. It might make the candidate stacking a little more expensive, but that’s it.

Cars / wasteful transportation, lawns, sprawled out cities, high amounts of meat consumption, vacation homes / timeshares / exotic vacations, having servants, etc. These are things that are only possible for countries with huge amounts of land and resources, and not sustainable or doable for most of the world.

It should be noted that social media companies like reddit, facebook, twitter, etc all have major incentives to inflate their user counts (with bots, or counting inactive users). Those user counts are the product that they’re selling to advertisers to set up on their platform.

We don’t have that incentive, in fact its the opposite, we’d rather have less users that are more active, as more users require more moderation resources and time.
