Hard to notice something when you close your eyes and plug your ears

It is difficult for me to imagine what “personal liberty” is enjoyed by an unemployed person, who goes about hungry, and cannot find employment.

I’ve heard it causes explosive diarrhea

OprahsedCreature, 1 year ago to asklemmy in I feel like /c/memes has taught us a valuable lesson today: Would it make sense to develop a feature to block a comm from our feed for a selectable unit of time (1 hour, 1 day, etc.)?

I may have also wanted to complain about c/memes today in a roundabout way in retrospect XD

Sorry about that, it does feel a bit ambiguous doesn’t it?

I think I just wanted to gauge other people’s thoughts and brainstorm a bit but if you feel it’d be better to move it I can do that, your call.

Oh, that could be useful

Also, my memory might need some work but was there talk about multis at some point?

OprahsedCreature, 1 year ago to asklemmy in given how little one vote matter, it seems to me that stripping felons of their right to vote is both petty and counterproductive if the point was to reform them into civic minded individuals ?

I believe the same is true in Vermont and Maine, but 2 out of 50 isn’t great.

If you can take away the right to vote as punishment for a crime, and make anything a crime, then you can take away anyone’s right to vote. This reinforces the concept of the ‘precariat’.

OprahsedCreature, 1 year ago to asklemmy in Does anyone actually enjoy working out?

Great solo activity too for the introverts. Pair of headphones and we’re off to the races. It’s an extremely adaptable sport.

I’ve actually been a big fan of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein for a long time so thank you for bringing it up and indulging me in a happy nostalgia. I’ve heard it described variously over the years as possibly the first or at least early science fiction, as well as even proto-feminist in its more subtle themes. Might be a good time to return to it. There are some potentially Luddite themes as well but in an era when people were en masse encountering rapid technological advancement while philosophical approaches to that rapid advancement were still in their infancy it’s a forgivable flaw.
