That's the thing! This guy actually is a very involved leftist, complete with theory and everything...and then he goes on to say this

TIL I'm Mussolini for thinking that the fruits of labor should belong to the person that did the labor instead of being stolen and profited off of by faceless corporate billionaires

His argument was literally that

  • artists, writers, and programmers are "labor aristocracy" and deserve no respect because they're sitting around making art and writing code while other people are toiling and laboring,
  • genAI is a "free resource" ("it's free for me to use at work") that "helps everyone make things" instead of having to rely on skill and expertise and therefore makes everything equal,
  • it's hypocritical of people to be worried about the environmental and societal impact of genAI because "only white people are worried about it now that their hobbies are being threatened and everyone else is catching up".

Pointing out there there are artists and programmers from every race and economic class, as well as perfectly ordinary people in every walk of life who are all actively being harmed both by the theft of ideas and labor and by the physical effects of gigantic data centers ruining communities, was met with much hand-waving and incredibly impenetrable philosophical jargon.

I'm particularly incensed because I'm as leftist and anticapitalist as they come and this felt like the fuckery some conservative cockwomble would try to come up with to parody socialism, except this guy was completely serious.

As you walk toward any stop or train station, it grabs your GPS and shows live countdowns directly on your wrist.

It works with official live telemetry (GTFS-RT & SIRI) across 360+ networks in 35 countries. Cool as hell.

(not my project, I found it out in the wild and thought it was super cool)

That's not future dystopia. That's just how it is and how it has always been since capitalism was invented

She doesn't seem to be in this video.

It's a dramatic poetry reading, it doesn't necessarily reflect the actual magnitude of her feelings on the subject

[-] destructdisc@lemmy.world 0 points 6 days ago

To me, this smells like "I would if I could".

What I said (and what the original poet is saying) is "I won't, and I can't anyway". That's not the same thing as "I would if I could".

But would you consider it, if you knew you would be a good father?

Fuck no, I don't even like kids.

I genuinely think her reasons are not complete.

That's just a roundabout way of saying you don't think her reasons are good enough. Which, I mean, that's just like, your opinion, man

That's NOT a good reason to transition.

Don't think that's for anyone to say but them tbh

there is nothing wrong about talking to a therapist.

Absolutely. I'm in therapy myself. That said, even someone who's fully processed their trauma in therapy isn't necessarily willing to have kids and potentially inflict that trauma on them. I know for a fact that no matter how much healing I do, I'd be a terrible father because I've gone through far too much to ever consider dragging a kid into the world and exposing them even in the slightest to the shit I was put through. The fact that she's able to express these emotions so clearly and concisely speaks to the fact that she's very likely processed all of this already and come to a conclusion

They were.

Porter said the aircraft returned to the terminal, where the passengers (as in the kid and the accompanying parent) were asked to leave the plane and their baggage was removed. The airline said the additional time required to complete those steps and refile the flight plan meant the flight could not depart before Victoria International Airport’s (YYJ) runway closed at 12:30 a.m. As a result, the flight was cancelled.

Considering a lot of the NYPD straight up said they'd resign if he became mayor, I think he's got a pretty good chance of bringing change if he really wants to

That's mostly my doing. I live here, and I have to bear witness to my people becoming more and more carbrained by the day as the government bends over backwards to cater to corporations and rich people with fancy cars at the expense of the gigantic majority who rely on public transit, bicycles, or just walking to get to where they need to go. I hate it.

Or are we going by skin colour?

Considering ICE recently detained a US Marshal "by mistake", I think that's right on the money
