I can’t stand it, I know you planned it

I can’t stand rocking when I’m in here 'Cause your crystal ball ain’t so crystal clear

I think Le Guins “The Dispossessed” belongs here. Its a dystopian/ utopian comparative about an anarchist planet and a capitalist planet. Highly recommend. I’ve got a signed copy somewhere.

Russian propaganda bot.

Oh he’s not a bot. They are a real verified human doing this as a labor of love.

Seems like you could market a line with even worse statements on it:

“This cigarette kills babies”

Chinese shill

But he’s our Chinese shill and we love him dearly.

Airplane. Young Frankenstein. Emperors New Groove. Paper moon.

Damn I read that as free money for 🌮 tacos and got excited.

So are we thinking 🤔 this would be more like figure skating? Perhaps power lifting? Maybe 🥋 judo?

I want to see a triple spin.

Please use mineral based sunscreen. The corals and turtles have suffered enough.

I’m so glad I could be of service to you then. I’ll consider my contribution valuable and hopefully I can make you laugh here and there.

Bro you post hundreds of times a day on here, and it’s not even a remotely thought out thesis on society. You’re just an imperialist and it’s important to call you out on it.

and free labor on the part of @yogthos@lemmy.ml to promote it.

Which is rich considering he’s a well paid software engineer working out of a western Democracy.

Tankies. The world would be so bland without them.

Whatever Toronto.

These baseless open ended questions are a strategy for injecting narratives into the public stream of consciousness.

There is basically no evidence for the premise, but we’ll present it as through there were, knowing most people won’t get past the headline.

It’s not particularly unique to this article but it should be pointed out whenever you see it.

“Oh no. Thats disgusting. Which one? There are like… sooo many.”

Habanero protein shakes with extra coconut oil.

I think it becomes a question of what well back up and ‘insure’ as a society. Because we’re willing to back people up and insure against the risk of driving in a vehicle, we require certain safety standards, levels of training, etc.

I think people should and need to be able to make all the stupidest decisions they can possibly make. I also don’t think it’s society’s role to absorb that risk. I don’t think a major search and rescue operation should have been undertaken for people doing something that was incredibly risky and dangerous. It’s an edge that should stay sharp, and have real consequences. But I also strongly believe we shouldn’t be regulating people’s behavior to not also take that risk. That’s their business and the whole point of living in a liberal society. As a society we get to decide which corners to pad and which edges to soften. I’d like to see us padding the corners and reduce the risk for an immigrants voyage on an over packed boat to try and better themselt rather than some dipshit billionaires obviously stupid hobby.

I think both of them having the right to take that risk is a fundamental human right. But we as a society get to decide which risks well offer some cushion to.

a completely silly use of literally everyone’s time and money, as was the search.

If billionaires want to do life threatening tourism, then let them, but there should be no accommodations for the consequences.

It was a plastic death tube that was totally uncertified and bound to fail eventually.

Sure, and if it’s in your own personal risk tolerance, you should be well within your rights to do so.

The kind of reactionary hand wringing on this issue is telling about how conservative the world has become.
