  Affordability is a hoax, eh? I see what you are getting at.

  Sam_Bass’s comments are mainly mildly contemptuous one-liners. Condescending is part of the persona, and when others interpret that manner as right wing, it seems to affirm sam’s misanthropy.

  I fully believe that you are antifascist in sentiment. I also see that you are asking people to show some skepticism about media that is obscure in origin and used to evoke strong feelings.

  I was a media literacy activist for decades and this was one of the basic points, that framing can reverse the meaning of an image or video or even story. So you are essentially just asking people to show a little media literacy, which is laudable.

  Your manner of argument, in a highly charged subject, is tone deaf, which is what seems to have triggered the downvotes. Righteousness is druglike, the veracity of the recorded action is immaterial, and we all need the narrative that punching nazis is normal. Plus, actual nazi propaganda techniques include sowing doubt about their existence, making false equivalencies, minimizing their transgressions, etc., and the tone deaf manner made it look like you were doing that.

  You know, the subcontinent has around a billion people on it? Who see it scattered all around, for thousands of years.

  Well, for one thing, the supply of googly eyes will run out and you will have to adapt.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is gold investing a scam?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Gold is good as notation for big things, like an excavator and a dozen barrels of diesel. You can’t trade that shit for cucumbers and canned tuna.

  You can use gold as an excellent long lasting conductor for electric equipment. You can make it very thin. It would make a comeback in basic dentistry, as you can actually eat it: it’s non-poisonous. Doesn’t tarnish. A smith can do a lot with gold.

  Gold is a resource. That said, I don’t have any right now. Just some silver coins, and some packaged goods like knives and flour mills (business leftovers). Given the market insecurities now and gold’s all time high price, wish I did.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is gold investing a scam?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  To clarify, when people colloquially refer to “the collapse of society” they don’t mean that all forms of society would cease to exist, but the failure of the nation state, or possibly the international order, and the long supply chains that go with it. Etc.

  So society at various scales would still exist, in overlapping ways and jurisdictions. Basic units like neighbourhoods and firefighters and towns and regions would be organizing based on the old rules and adapting. People organize well in the absence of warlords, so that and extinction events are the threats to trade.

  The value of trade goods might be indeterminate if a comet wipes nearly all of us out. Otherwise, many people love to dicker and argue about the value of things, so I’m pretty confident about rare raw materials like gold having both utility value and a reasonably inflated exchange value in a prolonged regional or international crisis.

  Consider this: every record I play has a faint recording of the room, every time it has been played, since no turntable or cartridge is perfectly isolated, and, being diamond rubbing against vinyl, will leave some trace of the room sound behind.

  Krill were my first choice, squids might be up there too, but the word ‘species’ instead of a more broad taxonomic term is a special limit.

  Union jobs in schools get a decent wage. The bitter joke is how you folks got uneducated away from economic solidarity.

  Teacher spouse comes home absolutely wrecked after an 11-hour day, often falls asleep at 8:30 pm on workdays. Goes in on weekends to catch up on the workload.

  LaTex tribe expands to video eh?

  I first learned computers by sneaking onto campus and borrowing an account to layout a book using Tex. It’s convolute. I can see a certain masochistic thrill in command line video editing.

  Yes, people under stress, or more accurately the duress of a chronic, barely relenting, and ubiquitous threat, are going to be reacting defensively in a reflexive manner, and that sometimes, especially for people who aren’t emotionally intelligent, means that they are going to stereotype.

  Frankly, it is important to remember that there is a lot of cognitive load, trying to figure out who is a threat and who is not.

  So, please have compassion in this situation, and recognize that many of the people you see as stereotyping or painting “men” with a broad brush are dealing with a kind of PTSD. Once you keep that in mind, it’s a lot easier to have a thick skin, and with compassion can even help them see things more clearly without being oppositional.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon doesn't like AI⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s likely if you’re a man who behaves a certain way. I am an older man who has had to assist quite a few women after various degrees of sexist assault. I have also worked closely with men who were victims of violence by women, but I am generally in agreement with people about the misogyny risk that is everpresent for women. Most guys have little idea how deep it runs.

  And then we get this kind of whinging. Dude, fucking wake up.

  You attribute an uneducated, uncivil approach to human nature, but I have been in human queues around the world, and they vary hugely based on cultural and social differences.

  What you think is human nature seems to actually be driving culture in your region.

  Yesterday I had a swasticar driver actually let me in on a disorderly merge. I was amazed, it was a first. Clue: nothing about Hondas changes people to be better. Tesla and BMW drivers are just shittier at sharing. This is culturally allowed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well yes, society functions only with cooperation. Uncivil behaviour ends with violence and dismay.

  However 3s usually allows for slow adjustments which alleviate caterpillaring.

  3 fucking seconds

  The answer is a simple 3 second gap.

  That’s it, just 3-mississippi (or 3-onethousand) seconds behind the car in front of you and most of the avoidable jams go away.

  That is a possibility with nearly any classified listing and always has been.

  Situational awareness and good street sense are necessary. Bring a friend or be as public as you can, etc.

  Most online scams, including phishing and tech support scams, are variations on ancient techniques.
