A condom is just a dick thimble

I admire your commitment, but it won’t be one apocalyptic battle, it’ll be a long protracted war. So like hydrate and stretch and shit. Make time in your life for meaningful organizing.

It isn’t even a take. I’m not like teaching a seminar on it ffs

Have you ever watched a YouTube video that was a response to someone else’s YouTube video? That’s all I was thinking about, this entire economy of foul discourse. Is this a super serious shower thoughts comm?

Well everybody has good and bad days. A disproportionate emotional response, especially one that gets apologized for later, is pretty easy to sympathize with. In many ways I like working with people who don’t pretend to be perfect. But when people like really dig their heels in, and start burning mental and emotional energy due to somebody else criticizing their work or positions, its like a reality warping tunnel created by people who are mad at each other.

Who said anything about “right mind”?

Wait why are you getting so upset? In what way have I engaged in toxic discourse, or I am a troll? I had a “shower thought” and thought it was funny and decided to share it. How have I been toxic, by like vaguely defending a view that I hadn’t thought about but for more than the time it took to post this and respond to you.

I’m not being toxic or performatively indignant. I’m not sure what you think my intent is, but I assure you it isn’t as negative as you are making it out to be.

You come across like someone who wants to pick a fight, do you care to explain that behavior?

How do you define a proper criticism? I’ve seen proper criticism taken as an insult. But perhaps you’re right its more likely to warrant a response with a strong criticizm in order to get a response, than to just flat out attack.

Or maybe its conditional?

So when people are celebrating their haters, they are insulted? No they are flattered that somebody else spent the energy being angry. If I can stir shit up and make you mad, as long as you won’t hurt me I’ll love the attention

Because you make a piece of work attacking my work and defending your own

This is such a doomed and haunted shower thought for someone who has a Marxist conception of technology and alienation

Well considering what the last dozen or so headlines you’ve read about banned books were probably about, I can see how you would make that assumption

They would have to have their own sorts of media

Send it Here!

Quantum computing. It might be a real thing but it’ll go through a grift phase first.

Another one will be environmental carbon capture, like pulling carbon out of the atmosphere. This one would be easier to fake but might not get traction for longer since the ideological superstructure in our society is already built up so that it is hard for a political crisis to emerge due to global climate concerns. Even though climate change is worsening, and whole cities are being destroyed by hurricanes, the debate is still pretty stabilized. However since this grift will end up being sold as a commercial solution to a political problem, the grift will probably come from a larger player like Lockheed or Boeing, which would necessitate investing in the most evil companies in existence. Still you never know, Tesla stayed afloat for years without making a working product by selling carbon credits issued by the government to other car companies, so you might be able to bootstrap this one

What do you mean? there are plenty of British recording artists

Does the author realize we keep it at a 6-7 in the USA?

Recalling my past is like watching a cringe comedy that turns briefly into a Yorgos Lanthimos film about various mental illnesses, then a quirky Wes Anderson film, and back into a cringe comedy.

I do be fuckin tho

This is true, I’m 43 and just discovered Gang if Four Entertainment! and its like my favorite album now, and that album is at least as old as I am.

That’s how you can see the true nature of the system. It isn’t designed to maximize production, it is designed to subordinate production.
