- Comment on All workers deserve the same Paid Time Off deal as Mitch. 3 hours ago:
A really good idea to build upon this is to set the amount of paid time off to same amount of time to who over has the most absentism in Congress.
Your local representative hasn’t shown up to vote in four months. Now, everyone in America gets four months of paid time.

I live by a bunch of nuclear plants. One day, I got a text alert from the government saying something was going on at one of the nuclear plants. I decided I was probably already going to die and the went back to watching porn on the toilet. I will have my dream of being an environmental telling skeleton.

That was a really good read. I agree with the author, that the people around us all leave their masks with us. We also try to give people our masks.
We all wear masks.

- Comment on Getting Off with the Luddites: Hanging with NYC’s tech-critical youth cultural front 3 weeks ago:
Despite their modern reputation, the original Luddites were neither opposed to technology nor inept at using it. Many were highly skilled machine operators in the textile industry. Nor was the technology they attacked particularly new.
The Luddite disturbances started in circumstances at least superficially similar to our own. British working families at the start of the 19th century were enduring economic upheaval and widespread unemployment. A seemingly endless war against Napoleon’s France had brought “the hard pinch of poverty,” wrote Yorkshire historian Frank Peel, to homes “where it had hitherto been a stranger.” Food was scarce and rapidly becoming more costly. Then, on March 11, 1811, in Nottingham, a textile manufacturing center, British troops broke up a crowd of protesters demanding more work and better wages.
As the Industrial Revolution began, workers naturally worried about being displaced by increasingly efficient machines. But the Luddites themselves “were totally fine with machines,” says Kevin Binfield, editor of the 2004 collection Writings of the Luddites. They confined their attacks to manufacturers who used machines in what they called “a fraudulent and deceitful manner” to get around standard labor practices. “They just wanted machines that made high-quality goods,” says Binfield, “and they wanted these machines to be run by workers who had gone through an apprenticeship and got paid decent wages. Those were their only concerns.”
Luddites didn’t have issues with technology. The issue was how technology was being used to suppress wages and erode labor rights. A modern day Luddite would still have a phone and an email address they just wouldn’t use AI or social media.

Alt text: A drawing of a person and a computer. The person tells the computer to say I am alive. The computer responds with “I am alive.” The person is now convinced that the computer is alive by saying “Oh my god”.

Hating Jerry Seinfeld. I think the joke is about how Jerry Seinfeld is Jewish and Zionists have made their life mission to equate any criticism of Jewish people or the Jewish faith to be anti-semantic.
