It was the Eclipse.

Genuine question - what happens to the workers who get replaced? I know in Western countries, we’d all be left jobless (leading to a crisis in capitalism). But even with this high a rate of replacement, it doesn’t seem like China’s going through an unemployment crisis or that the masses are resentful of the jobs they are losing. So something must be different. For a while I can imagine the workers fired from one plant can go to another, but given this has been a priority for the govt. for close to a decade at this point, there has to be something more substantial being done for the people. Are they in mass moving into the service sector? That cannot be sustainable solution. And I can’t imagine agriculture itself isn’t being automated either, if some are moving back to the villages. Others might move to higher-tier manufacturing that isn’t replaced as of yet…but none of these feel like the solution. I’m just reminded of the fact that machines cannot produce value, only human labor can, and am just left wondering what’s happening.

Yeah. You’re sent to prison for a limited time, then you are asked again. As long as you keep refusing, you keep being sentenced. This only ends if you agree or they stop asking for some reason, like the end of the war or with a court order or something like that.

I guess, it’s not really asking. It’s mandatory conscription.

perfection

Omg obviously. Can’t believe I didn’t realize that. Thanks for the answer.

Why is that? I know the latter gives you more info, but it’s still the same thing isn’t it?

Whew that is scaaary. I mean, I think we all know on some level that all our internet activity is being tracked. But to go from that to this specific is kinda chilling.

If I had the monies, I’d watch it high and on those 4DX seats that move and stuff. What a ride.

I did when I was a kid but not since then.

I mean, I can if you really want. But I don’t think he’s a good guy lol. Plus it’s over 11 mins long. Also, how he stated Point 4 is very different from how I framed it above.

Edit - Here’s the vid, but not on the OG channel so he doesn’t get the Twitter revenue.

I’d rather not if I’m honest lol. It’s why I didn’t link the video or even gave the name of the dude.

For those who want to know, the person she is subtweeting here is PhilosophyTube. There are RUMORS that they dated, but they are just that. What is confirmed is that they are no longer close or interact with each other, since before PT transitioned.

The framing device for the tweet is an amateur short film release on YouTube a couple weeks ago called Envy/Desire which is (apparently, I’ve not watched it) about a trans woman dating a cis guy, who is either a chaser or a genuinely questioning/transitioning depending on which post I look at. Either case, the film and the creator are incredibly online and I feel way too old to keep up with that discourse now.

Lmao. Why? Did the judge even give a reason? Can’t wait for the libs reaction.

Why you gotta do it to Sydney Sweeney tho? Remove, like, Ben Shapiro or someone from my timeline 😭

Thanks for this reply! I love learning stuff like this. Proxima b sounds so freaking cool. Ugh, I wish we could figure it out.

Nice to meet another fello oldie

On YT, I dunno. I do agree that the dislike button was used to just silence people, which was their stated reason for getting rid of it. But at the same time, it was also used to figure out which videos were just scams or advocating for harmful stuff lol. Oftentimes, you would click on a video looking for a solution to a problem, see the dislikes and realize the video is probably peddling some bs. Now, you don’t have that as neatly - there’s still comments (but they can be removed, and most people don’t comment anyways).

But I agree, discourse on youtube is just ass. There isn’t any good solution.

This is one of my favorite posts on Hexbear. I think I’m tearing up a little. Not just the picture, but also the post, filled with information and hope. Thank you. Hopefully, one day we’ll emerge from our prehistory and travel the stars, and meet our stellar neighbors. As you said, it’s just 4 light years away. We can make it.

Yep, I feel you. Every time I’m on Reddit, I realize just how awful the downvote button is. I remember back when we had one and decided to get rid of it. The catalyst was it being used specifically to silence marginalized people. Looking back at it now, it was clearly the right choice. Having no downvotes hasn’t impacted Hexbear in a negative way in the slightest. Bad arguments that you can ignore - you ignore. Bad arguments you cannot - you reply and dunk. And chuds get dunked on and reported/deleted.

Kapitalist, Konservative, Khristian = Russia since the 1990s.

May Allah destroy the Amerikan empire and this shambling Russian corpse in one strike.
