not exactly an unbiased same
There’s no such thing as “unbiased”. If you see something you think is unbiased, that thing just reflects your bias.
Explain how the “ruling class” does this to a rural subsistence farming village
So here’s the thing. I want an end to borders and government, but the reality is that these social constructs exist and are acted upon regardless of my political desires. Those subsistence farming villages are a part of geopolitical governments, so it impacts them based on how the ruling class interacts with their government. The IMF is a concoction from capitalists to project neo-colonial power on the Global South. To get a loan from the IMF, countries are literally required to privatize vast swaths of their public services and public property, they’re required to loosen labor laws, and they need to open themselves up to foreign companies that extract their resources to make a profit that is not reinvested into that country.

But I don’t want the border to be frictionless for people I don’t like
And therein lies the rub: if their government doesn’t like you, the border then binds you but does not protect you. Borders exist because it projects power onto people within, and gives arbitrary rules for entry without. If you want truly free movement, you can’t have projections of power
- Comment on Disgusted 5 days ago:
As if a democratically elected government representing people in a certain place should have no right to its own sovereignty so that YOU don’t have to deal with paperwork
Most people I know that want an end to borders also want the end of government.
But then when it comes to countries that struggle to find work for their own people
If people are struggling to survive but there are no jobs to be found, it’s because the work that needs to be done isn’t profitable. The work needs to be done to benefit society, but the ruling class demands that all work must be profitable.

Damn, Clarence went for the long con. Created the Marshall Mathers persona, and then the Eminem persona for their Marshall Mathers persona, and then the Slim Shady persona for the Eminem persona. Killed the Slim Shady persona after “Marshall” went to rehab, brought the Slim Shady persona back after a “relapse”, killed the Slim Shady persona again (for good this time?), and now just pretends that Eminem and Marshall are the same.

id has a union. The recent xbox layoffs that impacted id are suspected to be illegal union busting. There’s a ULP that’s currently being fought.

I block ads and sponsors on yt, I don’t remember the last time I listened to an ad there
- Comment on Welcome to 2026 2 weeks ago:
I use a site that has 0 ads, has basically everything I can think of, and has a better UI than every streaming service. There are some minor issues, such as episodes being out of place and some content servers being unreliable. It’s no replacement for a home media server, but I’d gladly suffer 3 minutes of troubleshooting than 5 seconds of ads

- Comment on If someone's injected with cancer cells, they develop cancer. Could at least part of the increase in cancer be to do with people getting cancer cells inside their bodies, similar to a viral outbreak? 2 weeks ago:
My job is a data analyst, working on genetic cancer research. Now sadly, I don’t have a direct answer to your question, but I do know a few things about cancer.
For the most part, cancer is not contagious. There is an exception, and it’s a sexually transmitted cancer for dogs known as CTVS. Some poor dog developed cancer 11,000 years ago, and the cancer cells mutated enough that they became essentially an asexual, single-celled organism. I point this out as a factor as to why it’s not contagious for almost all cancers: and that’s because cancer cells need their host. The danger from cancer is caused by mutant cells that have lost their apoptosis signal and begin reproducing uncontrollably, not that we have a bunch of invincible cells floating in our body.
Some cancers like lung cancer develop as tumors, while others like leukemia are circulating. Lung cancer probably won’t aerosolize, but even if it did, the cells need to survive for long enough to reach a new host. To reach a new host circulating cancers like Leukemia would need to be ingested and then survive the digestive system.

I adopted my cat Orion a couple weeks ago. My little fella grew up in his shelter from a baby kitten, and lived in the shelter for over a year. I was organizing my apartment earlier this week and took the carrier out. He climbed in and used his paw to close the door somewhat. He misses his old home :'(
