Yeah, an reaction doesn’t have to be an approval of something. Satire exists, malicious complaince exits, parody exists, and in more serious situations, silence or compliance can absolutely be resentful or malicious.
Obviously none of us know the motive of the editor, not exactly at least. I actually imagined it to be a critique (intentional or not), that money can actually bring vain people into your life. It does act as a nice rebuke of the person’s request, changing them to fit the role, instead of their partner.

Many people in YouTube comments, which sure I’m sure that a good number of them are bots. But even if only 20% are people, that’s still a good number of people saying this rhetoric.
Also the person above did not implicate that either. I was just talking generally.

Yeah I absolutely love FOSS and we should support it and use it, but also let’s not lie and glaze (albeit great) projects into something they’re not, or at least are not yet. Because then it becomes this weird circlejerk of implying that it’s just a skill issue actually, if you can’t manage to move your entire workflow to x Foss project.
This is especially true when talking to creative professionals who have been pigeonholed into a certain software or system of apps. And to pretend that this is just an individual issue is extremely dense, this is another example of capitalism providing “so much freedom and choice” and meanwhile, there’s very clear monopolies that are reinforced by industry standards, advertising, and public opinion being swayed by said advertising and conditioning.

Yeah… It’s something that has to happen naturally or really slowly to not be eugenicist AF.

Wow! That boss sure had A LOT of sway over the USSR to enforce reactor rods with graphite tips! And to have intentionall held back computer technology in the reactor!

Yeah this right here. Fuck putting capitalism on life support. It’s obviously eating itself at increasing rates, otherwise we would still be in a neolib “democracy”.
Let’s fucking end this shit. Capitalism has hit the bounds of the planetary systems, which is not to say billionaires won’t try to rape the world even harder, but that at a certain point, the effort you put in is FAR greater than the resources and assets you extract.
Let’s burn this fucking shit to the ground. Fuck Empire, fuck white supremacy, fuck capitalism. There’s no fixing this shit, there’s only saving the human race from this cancer.

Attended a really interesting seminar on the semiotics of kink and fetishwear. It was at International Mr. Leather, so you can imagine it was well attended.
I think it’s a balancing act. You have to be careful not to fetishize them but also you can mock the powers that be in that sense. Not for their sake (you’re not making them feel bad of course), for your community’s sake. A lot of Tom of Finland’s art was around parodying and undoing the “seriousness” with which the state takes itself.
But like I said, it can also become aesthetic only, at which point the meaning becomes forgotten and you end up just fetishizing cops and military without real intentionality.

- Comment on New Delhi - during lockdown vs now 1 month ago:
Mood AF. I hate feeling this way, but I almost feel things need to get worse before they get better.
I won’t actively work towards that, and I’ll work to make my community and city a better place in the midst of that. But I think humanity will only change when things are really drastic.

Absolutely. There is a nonzero overlap between FOSS/decentralized software nerds and white knights/nice guys.
Thankfully it’s not too much here, as Lemmy has done a good job at not tolerating intolerance, so the incel white knights leave, but some of the more innocent ones stick around.

God. So incredibly sexy when it’s real attraction. Plus one of my strongest kinks is seeing people in pleasure. So, even greater that attraction when they also romantically enjoy giving each other pleasure.

I wish I could find a job. As an adult college student, it’s brutal trying to find part time work. Places won’t even consider me once they see I’m a student.

There probably was at the beginning of the event but it gets stupidly hot in rooms with that many people, even with ac blasting.
This doesn’t look like International Mr. Leather, which is the event I’m familiar with, but it gets hot as balls in the congress hotel for that time. People come in with a lot of stuff and then take it off as it gets hot, in both meanings of the word.

Forgive any ignorance or arrogance on my part, I’m not a materials scientist at all, but wouldn’t the plastic caps on plastic bottles also have the same deleterious effect?
I didn’t read anything in there about them exploring the source of the plastic particulates in plastic bottles. Whether from the bottle or from the cap too.
