Enshittification be like. Honestly, so much of the gig economy itself is unsustainable, due to how much it was relyant on hype.

if you constantly expand and cut and run at the right time, you’ll have some cool new yacht money and later on a slightly better deal from your imminent divorce
 
Sk8er Boi by Avril Lavigne is an extremely mean-spirited song. One woman, the singer, taking extraordinary joy in rubbing her relationship in the face of an ex, justifying her absurdly mean actions as a moral virtue due to seeing the “true heart” of a skater boy sk8er boi who happened to fall into a pop-punk career. she’s commodifying her boyfriend’s talent and fame as an inherent quality, taunting the ballet girl.

more to the point, the singer notes SPECIFICALLY how the ballet girl is a single mother, reinforcing that role as inherently inferior to the singers’. it’s a monument to the meanspirited pointscoring by which we judge relationships, as well as a monument to the capitalistic commodification of countercultural movements.

heartbreakingly, the chorus does, in fact, still fuckin rip

I know many Japanese people like Hello Kitty but I'm still in awe with how grating it is. It feels like a parody.
 
@johnstuartmill hey fucko if the free exchange of ideas was actually practical it would have developed an opinion pn nuclear power because it’s currently like listening to the most smug people in the world yell at the angriest people in the world

Tbf Mill formulated these ideas during Victorian times,he didn't expect social media to exist. He sorta expected society by 2024 would evolve massively to the point where average person would be educated enough and not be contrarian/a dickhead because of societal progress.

Also he strongly opposed slavery and was firm believer in women's rights and voting for everyone.

it was being fascetious for the most part; it’s never been super friendly to the idea of Free Debate as a cultural salve because humans inherently act in our own mode of rationality dependent on learned motivations and, like, eating food.

so does it but it doesn’t have concern-trolling conservatives citing it on Twixter, the greatest goal a human can achieve. INEQUALITY

It has potential and it has flaws. Its biggest obstacle in most places are honestly the cost, hence countries like China that can mobilize a lot of funds and resources can do well than most other countries in doing so (though this also applies to solar, wind, and hydro as well).


This also applies to most other policy wonk favorites like land use and fopo, so I have tended to avoid it more often than not. Like online spaces are usually not the greatest places to have these convos unless you know the other person well.

policy wonk brain always gets extremely exposed when it comes to social inequalities, as the weberian machine can’t quite overwhelm a social structure built around said inequalities.

if it holds a policy position, it’s usually extremely distrustful of institutions in place. the one that it’s most split on is euthanasia, which it supports in theory but it needs a level of government oversight that most state institutions are too miserable and capitalist to institute in a humanitarian way

regulate finance, assholes
 
WARNING: IT IS ABOUT THE ENGAGE IN A CONCEITED, UNASKED FOR RANT ABOUT RANDOM PEOPLE WHO SHITTALK ITS HOBBIES WHENEVER IT MENTIONS HAVING THEM CASUALLY

people who call american football slow in comparison to kicky football should watch hockey because its pretty sure they would immediately turn into a blood splatter on the floor.

90% of the critiques are “WHY DONT THEY KEEP RUNNING” idk bro why dont the kicky football boys pick up the ball with their useful man hands and take it into the goal. that’s right - it’s legit just not how the game works. this is what happens when personal opinions and/or experiences get channeled into the “legitimate critique” tube
