Using slave labor on stolen land actually yields pretty high returns.
Also, like, you’ve seen this image before, right?
They were definitely not using the least fertile places possible.

From an accelerationist standpoint, yes. /s

I mean. Why would you want to have people ask you about this and remember it for the rest of your life?
- Comment on Suicide by obedience 1 week ago:
That’s not it either.
It’s people made desperate but hyper-individualistic vulture capitalism. People in desperate need of health care for their along family member. People desperate to put food in their kids mouths. People desperate to pay of their school loans.
I’ve done ICE watch, lived in a city with a heavy police presence, and been in the military. Sure, there are idiots, abusers, and fascists. But the majority are people from marginalized communities looking for their come up in capitalism, or “doing what they gotta do for them and theirs”. The sad reality is the machinery of capitalism turns by the force of the dispossessed more so than any other group. They don’t call it a system of contradictions for nothin’.
That’s why there is no revolution in a world where “it’s not my job to educate xyz group”. If a revolution, or any change, is desired, it’s EVERYONE’S job to educate each other.

Those remind me so much of The Busy World of Richard Scarry! I love them, with their little mustache blinkers.

I didn’t like how they replaced the “snap a quick pic” mechanic with a “sit down and pres a button over and over again to draw a scene” aspect of the second one, but the stories have all been good.
The twist in the first game where
Tap for spoiler
your favorite teacher teacher turned out to have a torture/rape dungeon
was insane though. Definitely threw me through a loop.

Oh man, you mean you didn’t get to the twist! That game takes an insanely dark turn.

Ah, the Buddhist ground. Untethered from all earthly matters.
Also occasionally self-immolates.

You can actually distinguish colors better than a mantis shrimp.
Turns out a lot of the processing that allows us to distinguish between colors happens in our huge brains. Take that, stupid shrimp!
- Comment on A Memory From the 90s 2 weeks ago:
Talking with your crush and realizing you’ve wrapped yourself in the cord so you have to twirl around like an awkward balarina just to hang up (and your crush totally heard you do that, too you idiot).

- Comment on power generator 3 weeks ago:
Personally, I like the mirror plants that use the suns energy to superheat salt.
And then use that to boil water. /s
For real, what China is doing with PVs is pretty fucking cool.

The government doesn’t want you to know this but if you take raw milk and heat it gently for a brief period of time, it becomes safe to drink.

I program for ships (the water kind) and buddy, you ain’t seen nothin’. I’m talking server infrastructure from 1991. Spaghetti code from the 80’s. I had a program that had to run on a dos box, and we had to replace the whole thing because the original developer fucking DIED and no one could read his shit.

- Comment on Anon has anxiety 2 months ago:
That’s not true. It sounds like you’re confusing nicotine with caffeine. Nicotine is often credited with “taking the edge off” when in reality, that “edge” is a result of nicotine withdrawal.
Caffeine blocks the receptors that react to a chemical the body releases when it’s tired. You’re right that it doesn’t give you more energy, but it does stop you from feeling by tired.
Out of all the common legal drugs (nicotine, alcohol, THC) caffeine actually provides some of the best benefits with least intrusive drawbacks.

I mean you have trees, so they’re mostly on the balcony. I live in a large city (not many trees) of mostly row homes, and they’re on like every window of the side of the houses that face the sun. Not just patios.
