Thinking about ditching my supposedly grownup smartphone(s22) for a samsung galaxy a15. It has a goddamm headphone jack lacks obscure features I don't use but still has nfc tappy payments. Am I crazy? Where I live it seems to be taboo to have anything but iPhone or S whatever.

So there's a fundy preacher I've met twice in two very different places/contexts( a "small world" coincidence), despite now being far from the fundy milieu myself. I've been perusing his blog. The shit he says is unsettling. More unsettling than the shit most other fundies say. What makes it...

I'll start with "the world"

fuckin...labor unions? https://kentbrandenburg.com/2020/09/04/christians-and-labor-unions-unequal-yoke/ anyone ever heard THIS while doing time in Christianland? holy shit!

What would stop every landlord from jacking up the rent by exactly the amount of the UBI? Likewise health insurers, etc?

Or is it still there? Will technology ever be anything other than a money making and social control tool for the wealthy and governments? Will regular people ever again benefit from new technology in capacities other than entertainment?

How much longer does Herr Goeb...Uh, I mean, Rush Have? I don't know, but when he goes it will be a rare occasion for gravedancing for me, same when Cheney and Trump go. Sometimes I think that there could be a nuclear holocaust and that cocksucker would still be on the air, blaming it on and...

So sometime ago I was lurking with mildly horrified curiosity at some message boards, forums and youtube channels frequented by alt-right types. Apart from the most obvious(holy shit neo-nazi dickheads!), I noticed a lot of nostalgia for 80s, 90s pop culture and life in general. Ok, I was born...

You'll be fine if you're lucky enough to be european, but here in the states, well...

this is ridiculous. How much longer can the gulf grow between public opinion and actual governance. Will things EVER change in the US? Will we ever joined civilized countries with UHC? I could go on and on. Their doesnt seem to be any end to the slide to a corporate controlled sci-fi dystopia...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CI3wDj3h8n0 The employer featured in the video makes/manages the kiosk in my workplace's cafeteria. When (not if) this becomes common and when (not if) most employers make it mandatory, the American right will have to choose between its bible thumping-"mark of...

Will liberals at sites like this and democraticunderground still be saying if the Dems just do x and y the US will enter a new progressive or at least sane era? I just don't see anything turning around. The repubs own the courts and they love them some voter suppression. What will it take to get...

Specifically, is the putsch(Trump, Brexit, etc.) being driven by impending resource scarcity and or climate change? I’ll spare my thoughts on why/ how and wait for yours, I wonder if I’m crazy for thinking this.

I ask from the American context but the question does have ramifications globally as well. So how and when will it get done short of the extinction of the human race or at least the transformation of the US to look like a whiter version of Haiti?

Will anything ever be done about? If so, how and when? Will the US ever have nice things such as universal healthcare? I am beginning to think the answer to both questions is no, and and our oligarchy via campaign bribery and other skeezy influences will have no end other than total collapse or...

https://thebaffler.com/salvos/oculus-grift-shivani from the end: "By transferring—because of its distributed network capabilities—much of the decision-making work of pure financial logic to human beings (and other entities that still think of themselves as autonomous, such as firms and...

While recently contemplating the US 2016 situation, I now wonder why there was no revolution in Victorian England. We seem to be reverting to that sort of oppressive class structure-complete with the bosses yapping about how us proles just don't work hard enough and such:mad:. I am afraid that...

Thinking back on my religious childhood I was pretty much taught a lot of nasty stereotypes about the behavior of those who are not uber-christian. They party all the time, sleep around, do a ton of drugs every weekend, Jerk it like 6 times a day to porn, etc. In fact I have found most people...

At my workplace and in my social circles the past few years, I have noticed a new pattern. It seems that conservative religious types are more likely to get lots of (the right kind of course) of education and the nice cushy professional well paying jobs, while the less educated less money making...
