the cat was sleeping cutely so i took a picture and went to show it to my mom and she burst out laughing and pulled out her phone and showed me a near identical one she'd taken a few minutes before
self-proclaimed free thinkers when the cat is doing a snooze:
the thing about capitalism is that at a certain point a product reaches its maximum audience and cant really be improved (at least not while remaining profitable), but capitalism requires a product provide infinite growth, and at that point the only way to increase profits is to raise prices, cut corners, and in the case of services start adding advertisements. this is just how the system works.
Rent-seeking is the act of growing one's existing wealth by manipulating the social or political environment without creating new wealth.[1] Rent-seeking activities have negative effects on the rest of society. They result in reduced economic efficiency through misallocation of resources, reduced wealth creation, lost government revenue, heightened income inequality,[2][3] risk of growing political bribery, and potential national decline.
The actual economic term for this parasitic behavior is "Rent Seeking", as in "charging you rent for things that didn't used to cost money just because we can."
"The classic example of rent-seeking, according to Robert Shiller, is that of a property owner who installs a chain across a river that flows through their land and then hires a collector to charge passing boats a fee to lower the chain. There is nothing productive about the chain or the collector, nor do passing boats get anything in return. The owner has made no improvements to the river and is not adding value in any way, directly or indirectly, except for themselves. All they are doing is finding a way to obtain money from something that used to be free." obtain money links to the wikipedia article for Parasitism which might be the most brutal diss I've ever seen on wikipedia ever

looks like the orders got mixed up
seething about the fact that i will never experience photosynthesis in my own useless cells. i bet it feels so good when the light of the sun both warms you and fuels you at the same time. a bone-deep satisfaction mixed with a heated sugar-rush and endless brightness. not that i would fucking know
A study of sorts that I did a while ago.
Really depressing how resonant all of my research on the McCarthy era is feeling to the modern day.
Except that in the 1950s America, the contradictions were smoothed out by the greatest material prosperity in human history, whereas this time, it's happening amidst civilizational collapse.
Pics of my Pride flag quilt top! I designed it myself, and tried to use as many distinct fabrics as I could except where I didn't have enough of a single color (looking at you, purple and brown). Size is about 60 x 90 inches. Now just waiting on the backing fabric (which I am soooo excited about). Not sure how I'm going to quilt it yet, but I am not very skilled so something extremely basic. Enjoy!

Guess what's happening aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln now after 250 days at sea?
Mike Levin, a Democratic member of Congress from California, has sounded the alarm over conditions onboard the warship, which is in its fifth month of combat operations against Iran. He described the lot of the crew on X as “moldy showers, broken toilets, laundry down for weeks, long stretches with no hot water, a meal that came down to half a cup of rice and two tortillas. No soap, deodorant, or toothpaste.”
Actually, fuck the myth of the Tower of Babel. The real beautiful utopia where we can all finally truly understand each other doesn't lie in sameness or uniformity, it lies in the giant and digital Rosetta Stone we are going to build and broadcast across the entire world
Om eerlik te wees, fok die Toring van Babel-mite. Die ware, mooie utopie waar ons almal uiteindelik mekaar werklik kan verstaan, is nie in eendersheid en uniformiteit te vinde nie, dis gevestig in die reuse en digitale Rosettasteen wat ons gaan bou en regoor die hele wêreld gaan uitsaai
खरं तर, tower of Babel चा myth काहीच नसतं. ते खरं सुंदर utopia, कुठे प्रत्येक माणसांनी प्रत्येक माणसाला समजतं, समानता आणि एकरूपता नसतं, पण एक मोठा digital Rosetta Stone, की आपण बांधणार आहे, आणि जगभरा broadcast करणार
Peki, Babil Kulesi'nin mitinin amına koyayım. Sonunda birbirimizi gerçekten anlayabileceğimiz gerçek güzel ütopya, ayniyet veya özdeşlikte bulunmaz, bizim kurup bütün dünyada yayımlayacağımız kocaman dijital Reşid Taşı'nda bulunur
Menurutku, mitos Menara Babel itu goblok. Utopia yang sebenarnya di mana kita bisa benar-benar saling memahami tidak akan tercapai dengan kesamaan ataupun keseragaman, melainkan dengan Batu Rosetta digital besar yang akan kita bangun dan menyiarkan ke seluruh dunia
На самом деле, к чёрту миф о Вавилонской башне. Истинная прекрасная утопия, в которой мы наконец сможем по-настоящему понимать друг друга, заключается не в одинаковости и единообразии, а в огромном и цифровом Розеттском камне, который мы построим и будем транслировать по всему миру.
في الواقع، انسوا اسطورة قلعة بابل. الجنة الحقيقية حيث يمكننا أن نفهم بعضنا البعض لا تقع في التشابه او التوحد، بل تقع في صخرة الروسيتا الافتراضية التي سننشرها حول العالم بأكمله.
Boah eigentlich, fick doch die Turm von Babel Mythe. Die wahre, wunderschöne Utopie in der wir uns alle endlich wirklich verstehen kommt nicht von Gleichheit und Einheit sondern von dem gigantischen, digitalen Rosette-Stein den wir bauen und überall in der Welt ausstrahlen werden.
Déanta na fírinne, déanaigí cac ar mhiotas Thúr Bhabilóin. Ní sa chomhionannas ná sa chomhionannas atá an fíor-útóipe álainn ina bhféadfaimis go léir tuiscint cheart a fháil ar a chéile, ach sa Chloch Rosetta ollmhór dhigiteach atáimid chun a thógáil agus a chraoladh ar fud an domhain.
Žinot, velniop su Babelio bokšto mitu, tikroji utopija, kur mes visi vieni kitus suprantame, slypi ne vienodume, ji slypi milžiniškame skaitmeniniame Rosetos akmenyje, kurį mes pastatysime ir paskleisime po visą pasaulį.

En verdad el mito de la torre de Babel es una mierda. La bella utopía de verdad donde todo el mundo podemos entendernos no nace de la uniformidad o monotonía, sino con la piedra de Rosetta gigante y digital que vamos a construir y retransmitir por todo el mundo.
I wish all the pee came out in one go like a shotgun blast
you just dont get this on other websites
Yup, there actually was a British periodical with this title, established in 1881 (!) and serving as the model -- for better or worse -- for the popular and sensationalistic Britsh Press to come.
Imagine being a civilian on a Starfleet starship.
"How was your day, honey?" "Not great. Had to pick the kids from school early because the ship went back in time. There's a confused Roman centurion in the living room, btw. How was your day?" "Couldn't get much work done because Jerry got taken over by a space parasite." "Again?" "I think at this point he's doing it on purpose."
Child in the Enterprise daycare, drawing a picture entitled My Family: "This is me and this is my daddy and this is my daddy's transporter duplicate and this is my mommy and this is the subspace entity that poses as human that used mommy as it's template that calls itself her sister and this is our dog and this is the shape-shifting salt-vampire that snuck on board disguised as our dog but decided it likes dog food better than salt so now we have two dogs."
"And this is my brother Jacob."
"Why is he gray?"
"I tried to make him transparent to show how he doesn't fully exist in this timestream."
