Looking at the world rn, I dont think things have a tendency to get better on their own
This is called a recency bias (I think lol) - you're looking at the world rn and assuming its trends must continue. When you look at history you see that there are ebbs and flows, and that stasis is rare. If you focus on certain things, you may certainly decide we're in a downtrend. There will always be an uptrend afterward. And vice versa
Fair enough have you tried 1.5?
Who would win, a B-17 Flying Fortress with no bombs, or the USS Missouri?
Edit: Also the Missouri can fly too, but it's a little less maneuverable, usually
The Millennium Falcon would destroy the Enterprise somehow. Then Kirk and crew would be stranded on a planet until they find a way to get aboard and commandeer the Falcon. Ultimately they would use it to go back in time and save the whales or something
Yeah, the admins deserve all our support on this. Not only to protect themselves as server owners, but to stop the spread. Hopefully a longterm solution will be found soon
I'd rather vote for Trump to accelerate the decline of the world so the revolution is easier / faster
It always astounds me that people who have enough intelligence to read so much doctrine (some of which does have value) give in to such ends-means justification. The "revolution" is not inevitable, nor is its victory, nor is its success in making life that much better. Sacrificing others' lives and well-being in the here and now has zero justification because there's no guarantee that it will make any situation any better. They're just zealots
Not to mention employee protection/rights laws that don't always apply to contractors
Is that a giant turd coming out?
"Latino" is still considered by many native speakers to be "neutral"
So like, is there any sizeable Latin community actually calling for a gender neutral term or is this just a middle-class white people thing? Because as a white person I've never seen anyone push for this other than white people and it just seems like a white savior/ daddy knows best thing. But my experience is just my experience
How is auth-left Robin Hood? Sure they wanna redistribute wealth from the rich to the poor, but otherwise Robin Hood is pretty anarchist. I wouldn't compare anyone on the compass to such an unproblematic character but surely he's closest to lib-left
As a graphic designer I do agree. If the makers of the Connect app wish I'd be more than willing to help them with a new logo. It's not a bad concept per se, just needs some better execution
How did volunteers who run reddit's for-profit business for them for free end up equated with landed gentry?
