Mongostein, in It is what it is (Tim Kreider)

I’m pretty anti-capitalist. Not 100%, but man shit is fucked right now and it’s gotta be reigned in.

A mixed economic system where the necessities of life are not run for profit (maybe even free?) combined with profit-driven progress for the luxuries would be best. With strong unions for all workers of course.

Oh, and fix the democracy too. No more FPTP bullshit.

merc, in It is what it is (Tim Kreider)

There’s a famous Churchill quote about democracy that is almost always misquoted:

‘Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.…’

To me, the key words that are often left out entirely are: that have been tried.

For the Aztecs in this picture, it may actually be true that their system was the best one they’d tried so far. Maybe ritual sacrifice of a tiny minority was a small price to pay compared to what they’d experienced until then. Representative democracy with voting rights for all citizens over the age of majority might be the best system we’ve tried so far. Kings willing to devolve some power to their barons in the Magna Carta was the best system for England so far.

We shouldn’t stop trying to make things better. Otherwise we’re like these Aztecs.

fckreddit, in Welcome – Poorly Drawn Lines

Should also give a plastic bag. It’s not like there is a shortage of those in the ocean.

Jables, in "Positively Confused" by IG_Doods

It’s more like a game of catch than a boomerang. If it’s not returning, you’re playing with the wrong people.

Nougat, in Mistakes were made.

One of the things I do when I get up to go to another room is check to make sure I have my phone. In case I get lost. This is not a joke.

WarmSoda,

I just tie a rope around myself and something in the room the room I came from.

Alt-text:

I was, at least at the start of this disastrous game night, your friend.

xusontha, in "Doing Your best" by Dinos and Comics

Worst part is when you feel you could do better but you can’t/don’t

Squirrel, in I'll never learn to not do this either.

Just do the same to the other letters, so it looks like a stylistic choice.

Yeah, I just like to sketch every letter… it’s totally on purpose.

steal_your_face, in It's not much, but I made a thing.

Unfortunately there comes a time where this doesn’t work anymore. I know from firsthand experience:(

iByteABit, in Digi Detox

We are now living in a society built around individualism and survival of the fittest. There are very few remaining third places and the people are too accustomed to this way of living in order to participate in them. As a consequence, it’s more common than ever for people to have no real friends, especially working adults.

pec, in Didn't have ChatGPT back in the day to cook up professional-sounding paragraphs from bullet points

Lol I use ChatGPT to convert HR professionnel sounding emails into bullet points

Ilovethebomb, in Didn't have ChatGPT back in the day to cook up professional-sounding paragraphs from bullet points

Are people really using GPT to turn brief emails into paragraphs of waffle?

I don’t understand what it’s communicating. Is he happy? Did he give up on technology, or society altogether?

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

some_guy, in Think of who you're hurting before you consider piracy.

Odd contradiction. I support pirating when a person can’t access media legally (whether due to financials or just dick-moves by corps). However, this is the same logic that writers are striking against with streaming and I sure as hell support them.
