According to his trans daughter, he was treating her like shit long before this, so he’s always been an asshole.

Ah, following in Wakefield’s steps. Good to see the grifters and charlatans don’t change, but it is sad that people keep falling for it.

Me on a Saturday night.

Porous material and no flared bases, not approved.

Having spoken to so many people about this subject over my many years on this planet, the number of people that would actually want a revolution is so low that it’s effectively zero. They don’t want that kind of change. Having seen how resistant people are to give up their cars for the sake of their children’s future, do you really think people would give up their many comforts to remove capitalism from the world? Fuck no would they.

But simple, small, understandable changes to the current system are much more agreeable. When I’ve suggested a cooperative approach, even the most resistant to change agrees that it would improve the situation for themselves, and that’s a change that can be worked with, without others perceiving that change as coming from an absolute loon.

As others have said in this very thread, the western world is so resistant to revolution that the very idea of it will always be fringe. But cooperatives have been demonstrated to work, they just need to be applied to a much larger degree. It’s understandable to the majority, it doesn’t rock the boat too much, it’s a feasible approach and it removes power from the top and returns it to the workers.

Abolishing capitalism will never happen in our lifetime, so you have to think smaller but more effective. What needs to happen is moving to a cooperative based capitalism, where a company or corporation is owned by all of the workers, with protection of independent unions. This will very quickly reduce the divide between the rich and the poor, as well as closing the gap between productivity and wages that has worsened since the 70’s.

Do I expect this to happen? Fuck no. But it has a much higher chance than the abolition of capitalism, and has more support amongst people I’ve spoken to over the years when I’ve suggested it as a path forward.

My Italian boyfriend does not approve. Heading to the shop to buy immediately.

Harry Potter tattoos have a higher regret rate than gender affirming surgeries.

The problem is the Series S sold a lot, last I read it was about two thirds of their user base. Microsoft also want to push platform independence using X Cloud, which solves their Series S issues, but with the feature parity requirement in the Series X and S, they keep hitting this issue.

Unicron has entered the chat.

I was having a similar conversation to this many years ago with a friend. I summed it up as “I must have inconsistency, else I get stuck in monotony.”

It’s not. Plant estrogens have a similar structure to human estrogen, but do not work the same in the human body. You can tell this is true because otherwise trans women would be downing soy milk like there was no tomorrow.

If you have a way of installing android apps from the web on your TV, Smart Tube Next is very good. Sponsor Block is integrated if you want to use it, but I mostly am just glad it doesn’t serve ads.

Finally a Google product I don’t mind then sending to the graveyard.

This chart doesn’t prove anything.

Fingringhoe is also a real place.

Had a similar incident, but he was 35, she was 18, and they’d been together 6 years. Bonus, they were Christian 🤮

So the “how”, but not the “why”. Sounds like Section 28 all over again.

I’m in a light polluted city, saw a reddish glow to the north, but it was faint. It disappeared a couple hours later, so was definitely the aurora.
