No its not. It means its banged up. Broken. In the case of cars. In the case of a "banger of a tune", you are probably right.

If you're playing video games you're literally not doing nothing. The point is to give yourself time to reflect and breathe. If you're stoned and that makes it easy to meditate for ages, you could probably count that as doing

Merchants of course would have loved it since they were the few people living in a reality that would actually become capitalism. I disagree with your initial statement since there were obviously alternatives throughout history and countrie

There is a certain propagandistic line about capitalism that implies that it is the natural state of affairs and everything leading up to it was a proto-captialist society (see the myth of a barter society, which never existed). I wonder ho

I'm 26 and I'm tired of social media. I was addicted to insta for a bit and I've teared myself away. Now when I go back, I can still feel the addictive quality but for the most part I look at people's posts and wonder ho

I have been addicted to ig. Still can be if I let myself. Reddit can also get me hard. Whatsapp groups I actually love because there's nothing to scroll. Just people lmk about an event and I can interact with them like a human, and I c

Dunno why you're being downvoted. Practising reading is probably one of the best things I've done for my attention recently. I've gone from being so unable to sit still in a one hour reading session that I read only 4 pages,

Yeah we have to very carefully recognise when advice does and doesn't apply to us. I absolutely do not need the advice of half assing anyting. It takes a lot for me to whole-ass things and I have to think of strategies as to how to get

Blatant ignorance of history said with overconfidence. The land was literally called common land and was in common ownership until the enclosure acts.

Of course not. But calling other people's totally normal hobbies creepy is a bit rude and warrants an insult back.

Bro I knew what a swastika and the nword was at that age. And yeah, probably I took them too lightly sometimes because I was a kid and its a learning process. But I knew they were wrong. Because my parents taught me right and wrong. How stu

If it was a swastika or the n-word I would be very concerned about the nature of the community in that neighbourhood and if I'm in danger. But in terms of how i'd deal with kids seeing it, I'd take it as a teachable moment. I

If we decided on all public use of space collectively, then yeah sure that would probably be better since it would be fairer. Unfortunately, this is not the system we live under. Therefore graffiti is a legitimate way for the community to e

I concur that sounds really good. That's not how it works now though, which is why graffiti artists reclaim the space as the people that use it. Right now, the space is decided by people in power and with money. Rarely do we ever get r

Yeah I'm deeply disappointed that these so called "hackers" are so united on such a tired, pro-authoritarian view on the use of public space.

Think about it this way, if we all owned all public structures, then we all have equal rights to paint it just as much as you have the right to paint your own house. The graffiti artist has the right to paint it, you have the right to hate

Again, they have the right to have that taste and you have the right to hate it. You both should have equal ownership over the wall. Therefore you should also have the right to paint something they don't like on the wall. Or paint over
