Comments
Been a macro/meme gowing around about how there has been more consumption in the last 6 years than all of the 20th century. Feel like what ever your perspective on degrowth/stagnation is, it's out of touch with the material conditions of the earth's resources. You are a little too far gone inside the trenches of capitalist numbers as a means of viewing material reality.

2024-06-02 02:08:52 +0000 UTCYou guys have such basic taste in men. Glen Powell? Get back to me when you want to suck face with Dj Qualls. When you want to destroy Steve Buscemi circa "Parting Glances"'s entire dick. When you think Miguel Ferrer could get it in literally every movie and tv-show he's ever been in. When every Gremlin-puppet - even the goofy one, and the one with boils all over - gets you sprung.

2024-05-31 18:23:45 +0000 UTCI agree with basically everything Tarence said about degrowth capitalism, but i also agree with calling it techno-neo-feudalism (or something like that) for the same reasons. Like I agree when we’re saying that we’re entering a period of stagnation or overall degrowth, and that ownership of literally anything (you house, car, your fucking education) will be concentrated into smaller and smaller class of lords. And everyone outside are essentially peasants who have little to no say in their own lives. Like if your dad is a big man small business owner you can become a squire for a Kennedy or a Clinton or Trump or Bush and maybe make a name by doing their whole job or daddy big bucks is going to have to split up his used car lot between his 3 kids and then… and then… idk seems like feudal relationships to me but I’m a dumbass speculating about both a past and future I know next to nothing about.

2024-05-31 08:40:53 +0000 UTCYes, it's to establish that he's insanely old and out of touch. And that the writers of classic Simpsons went to college.
Jesper Ohlsson
2024-05-30 22:30:57 +0000 UTCWait, is that why mister Burns on the Simpsons says "ahoy-hoy" when he picks up the phone?🤯

2024-05-30 22:19:30 +0000 UTCMy understanding of the hello my ragtime girl song is that it's making fun of the casual style of saying hello (instead of good evening , morning, etc). So in addition to it's minstrel roots, it's also basically a "pull up your pants and stop saying sup!" song. I think it was specifically for the use of saying hello over the telephone, which apparently was a bit too rude. Alexander Graham Bell wanted people to say "ahoy-hoy!" on the phone, because he was an unfuckable dork. ...though the japanese "moshi moshi" does sound spiritually close to ahoy-hoy.

2024-05-30 00:32:59 +0000 UTCShould be said that the US unambiguously helped steal the 1996 election for yeltsin. A truly hilarious fact given that yeltsin passed the reigns to Putin, who became the boogeyist of boogeyman to the same elite libs who helped steal the election in the first place

2024-05-29 22:44:15 +0000 UTCI always imagine that the actual fate for these people - could they travel back in time - is not to be welcomed as the philosopher king they think they would be, but immediately be shived in the gut with a bronze dagger, and get called a time-appropriate slur. "ok, it's the olden times. You're one of the villagers that the guys from The Northman will lock in a barn and set ablaze, and they're arriving any minute now." "Hmm? What's that? You thought you were going to whisper in the ear of the Emperor? Oh dear. " ..there's just something so profoundly pathetic about idealizing (and fantasy-inserting-yourself-into) a time in the past that you never experienced, don't know anyone who did, and where the entire basis of your assumptions is completely made up of "things you read" ( and inferred whatever you did, from). ...it's like, if you "thought you were treated unfairly" now, in the context of modern standards, boy do I have bad news for how you would probably fare, if magically transposed into the past, but with your exact "being-expected-to-look-someone-in-the-eyes-is-violence-I'd-rather-post, sensibilities".

2024-05-29 20:45:06 +0000 UTCThe Roman statue in bio trads can take a victory lap on modernity. Caesar’s troops built a bridge over the Rhine in 10 days in 55(ish) BCE , our armed forces can’t build a functional pier in months (not that its functionality was of high priority)

2024-05-29 17:56:07 +0000 UTCThis whole pier-fiasco is one of the most embarassing things in US foreign policy history. It's like having your shitty kid run around town with your credit card and treating everything he does as "things to work around". I feel like the word "cucked" is completely played out as a term, but I really struggle to find a more apt word for it. Even if you're 100% in the tank for what Israel is doing as an american, it's still profoundly embarassing for the US to immediately acquiesce the obvious power-dynamics at play (and that literally everyone - even a child - can clock). ..that the pier immediately collapsed is just cherry-on-top-shit. Did anyone bother to ask local engineers how to construct something like this, in the conditions at play? It's a shitty idea, but it's profoundly embarassing that you can't even properly execute on your shitty idea.

2024-05-29 12:33:24 +0000 UTCI'm just here to shame anyone who gave T Unit guff regarding his voice acting. Shame. How do you listen to a man experience joy in the form of doing possibly the worst Cartman impersonation ever recorded and respond with any level of repression? Shame. A man who puts his entire being into a nearly unrecognizable copy of televisions most reviled characters. Shame. Do you not hear his giddiness? His absolute mirth? The thrilling bombastic brevity that these vocal affectations spread across both livingroom studio and internet airwaves? Shame. You are blessed to bear witness to T&T&A's zygomaticus majors stretching and contorting to near breaking point in your mind's eyes when those somehow whiney, yet dulset tones sparkle across the airwaves and you react with bigotry? Shame. Personally, I have undertaken a hunger strike; No food or water will pass these lips as long as Mr Ray is being censored, silenced, or subdued in any shape or form while performing lackluster yet well meaning, inspiring attempts at vocal facsimile! Shame.

2024-05-29 11:36:34 +0000 UTCIn a proper counting system, base 12, 144 is written as 100. 12 is a good base because 12 has more factors than crummy base 10. Ancient people liked base 12 and base 60 because it’s a pain to write 3.33333 on a clay tablet.

2024-05-29 05:28:20 +0000 UTCThey moved some aid in the first days, the pier was already partially destroyed a few days ago and it really slowed down after that.

2024-05-28 23:02:01 +0000 UTCPicnic is not a racist term, it comes from the French and has always just meant an outdoor meal. Some people did picnic at lynchings, the sick fucks, but that's not where the word comes from.

William
2024-05-28 22:17:48 +0000 UTCThey moved something like 500 metric tons of aid on it in the first few days, I think. Not much since?
