Yeah, I oppose the sale of disposable vapes on the grounds of it being a fucking batshit use of resources. I miss when vapes were usually those repairable and upgradable things that you poured juice into. I didn’t vape then or now, but it just seems better for everyone for it to be that way.

I hope oracle tanks and takes Ellison with it

I mean, I don’t think a lot of pickup drivers are aware of the fact that their giant ass truck doesn’t fit in a regular parking space

Wait, what kind of fucking lunatic commutes across the rockies‽

Actually those socks would probably go great with my birkenstocks. I’ve been fetishized for being a second generation immigrant from Germany a few times before, why not lean in to it

Common sense is just “I assume everyone assumes that…”

Hell, a business strategy shouldn’t even be that complex. Complexity in it should stem from depth and details, not fancy words or difficult concepts

Also, merch for organizations providing free shit is a way to financially contribute and to get the word out about the project. Especially something like home assistant where most people have never heard of it, and many may think it’s too hard, you can get the word out and maybe even get some people interested in getting free from corpo ecosystems.

Does openSUSE provide the sandals to go with the socks?

Ok leather socks are something I’d never considered and on one hand: hot, but on the other hand I can’t imagine what shoes I’d wear them with. Obviously the pants would be leather short shorts at the most or a tight leather dress

Sometimes the first thought is what the propaganda you grew up with said

They could’ve been asking for their shochu to be held though

Try and post! It’ll either be a cool DIY project documentation or the fediverse Grover haus. Win win

That’s concerning. I hope she’s got means to protect herself.

They were originally unsweetened and unspiced bran crackers. Graham was part of a social movement that believed any form of stimulation, including things like flavor, inflamed the libido, and that sex was of course deeply unhealthy.

Like, don’t get me wrong, I’m super pro fiber, I’m just also a slut that loves flavor.

It also doesn’t make them into the sort of revolutionaries that make for a better world.

Yeah I switched two years ago after trying and going back like 7 years prior. My first try was during a time I was using a lot of propertarian software, gaming on Linux didn’t work, I wasn’t prepared for the changes, and it didn’t just work. I’d always wanted the freedom, but I’m not a programmer and most important for me was that things work. The recall bs and the floating of ads was what got me to switch, and I’m glad I did.

Aha! I knew that complaining online might get me answers that searching wasn’t getting me. I’ll try tonight

The Dispossessed hit me like a truck, but I wouldn’t call it theory. It’s political fiction that’s subtle about it by using sci fi, but I think calling it anything but a novel/fiction does a disservice to such literature. It does that which all message based fiction aspires to: lies to you in a way that makes you think about the world and see everything differently. I love all of LeGuinn’s books that I’ve read, though I felt Omelas was overrated. I’ll also plug Graeber for easily accessible theory written in modern language for modern life. Bullshit jobs hit hard.

And yeah, theory matters, but only if you do praxis. Do the hungry care more about who you feed them, or that you feed them? Do your coworkers dream of a dictatorship of the proletariat or do they just want their voice heard in the workplace? If all you do is read theory, you’re a book club. The least you could do is mail some dictionaries and whatever other books to prisoners while you discuss the theory. Offer them some zines while you’re at it. What is in your heart and your mind are irrelevant until your actions reveal them.

There’s plenty, and they can help, but you ain’t gotta read em. They’re guides and ideas. Nobody ever told me I needed to read Proudhon to think the state’s bad, and usually older texts become more of historical interest than theory interests. When I wanted to understand anarchism I was told to go out and engage in praxis.
