Cheesecake Factory interiors look like FMV games about a fallen society of post-art deco bourgeoisie.

Cookie-cutter suburbs were always a white project, first explicitly and then implicitly. Atomize people and then have them form consumerist family units, shed intergenerational relationships, mow big lawns, insulated by space a car is needed to navigate.

tech industry innovators be like what if your light bulb was the cops

Nothing means anything to us, there is no principle by which we reliably choose sides or provide support. Enemies are allies the next day, and vice-versa. A permanent regional meat grinder, a perpetual global crisis situation.

Grace Jones bodying a dozen SWAT cops with a revolving riot gun with mechanical precision.

Part of capitalism is making empathy painful. Every panhandler or crowdfunding link hurts. You can't help everyone, much less save them. It's a system that makes you close yourself off, to try to stop it all from burning right through you.

How am I supposed to take all the ACABs in the profiles of people who can't deal with the basic linguistic root of the word "authority" seriously?

If I have to put up with "app" replacing "program" in general-purpose computing then everyone else can suck it up and learn to use they/them when appropriate.

"If I may play devil's advocate-" *aggressively defends existing shitty power structures*

Satan wouldn't like almost all of the "devil's advocates."

This is still my favorite meme in the "pastel vaporwave-looking stuff with slime font" category.

I say it every day: individualist libertarians may have a lot of overlapping politics with your form of leftism, but they will 100% go running into the arms of the right the minute you say something that activates the South Park regions of their brains.

If I ever suddenly become motivated to make music, it'll probably be, like, me learning to play piano so I can do Mahler on a synthesizer loaded with samples of dialup modem noise, record scratches and Kalashnikovs.

American liberals fetishize Canada because it's perpetually about as fucked-up as the US was ten years ago, but not significantly ideologically different.

We rightfully excoriate IBM for selling shit to Nazis which was then used for predictable ends. There's no such thing as "neutrality" when you're providing resources to fascism; you're either a party to it or you aren't.

boy are you a blockchain transaction because i am extremely uninterested in an explanation for your behavior

Something that popped into my head today and I've been thinking about a lot is that we'd never hear the end of it if the USSR had used prison labor as the liquidators the way we do with firefighting in the US.

Anyway, if you live in an area that doesn't typically have central air and you're concerned about heat waves, look into a swamp/evaporative cooler. They do the job well enough, they're less energy-intensive than window ACs, and it can save you as a contingency during bad weather.

I :hacker_l: :hacker_o: :hacker_v: :hacker_e: how mealy-mouthed libertarian tech dudes will say that everyone is too sensitive and needs to man up, and then will proceed to spend entire paragraphs complaining about how pronouns are inconvenient to them, personally.
