Yes but what about landlord feelings? Have you considered those??

“Elon” is going to jam through some changes that disrupt the company and get a lot of press for n months then get bored and go do something else.

True yeah. I was just thinking of other sorts of “high qualification” high paid trades which require lots of investment to create.

It’s interesting to read people like Marx when he was writing about the class society he lived in because you can see how much the bottom has fallen out of the middle. He describes the specialist artisans who are capable, sometimes, of upwa

I’m a millennial and I feel the same way, but I think a lot of this is due to a privileged position we have in the labor force. It’s the whitest of white color jobs. We’re still exploited as any trade, but it’s easier to be an architect or

Hmm idk. Why specifically do you say this? I currently live in lower Manhattan and have a lot of love for delis and visit them often. But these places are very expensive in a lot of ways that 7 and Lawson isn’t.

Eh I assure you I am extremely motivated and have no issue finding pleasure in things ;)

Ok so the reason I love 7 is because I lived in Tokyo during college and was broke as hell. I LIVED off of that food and in retrospect I was really lucky because if I had been in NYC (where I lived now) I would have been subject to worse ta

I go back every once and a while and the second I get to Narita I go straight to the 7/11 and get tuna fish onigiri.

I think it’s nostalgia but that’s not necessarily bad. Yeah, it’s true that magically music stops being good the minute you get your emotions under control as a young adult but again I think that time is to be cherished. Just be wary of let

This is a wild overreach. It seems to presume that because I grew up there that I was middle class. I am now but believe me I was not always. I still do now own where I live and it’ll take me to the end of my thirties before I can, reasonab

The supposition that demonstration doesn’t include obstructing or destroying property is relatively new. When I say demonstration I mean it to include everything from drum circles in zucotti park to the 60s civil rights demonstrations whic

I tried pretty hard to specify this bit in my comment: violence towards people IS NOT damage to property. Hard thing for people to engage with earnestly though :( I think its because to them, damage to private property makes life to varying

by ixtli 5y ago
Absolutely fair argument. I don't live there so im not gonna comment to deeply here, but one thing i know to be true is that by and large the people who were participating in the demonstration were also members of the community. This d

Leftists will also correctly say that when the state murders you extrajudicially there is only one way to respond. What you're saying is that unless you can somehow guarantee that property wont be damaged you can never attack those who

yes! i wanted to past the whole paragraph without elision and i didnt feel like specifically going into how it implies that for some reason Dr. King's speeches dont constitute academic development or that, futher, this ignores the last

I agree with you that no one should ever like seeing damage to a community. Two things come to mind in response to your comment: 1. it is important to differentiate between violence done towards individuals and damage caused to private prop

"And I would be the first to say that I am still committed to militant, powerful, massive, non-violence as the most potent weapon in grappling with the problem from a direct action point of view. I'm absolutely convinced that a r

I’m not sure I agree with that action, though I’ve never heard of it, but your question appears to conflate holocaust education with uncritical deployment of racial slurs. That seems very bad.

Do not accept the premise that they’re concerned about democratic norms. They are abusing language to undermine them.
232.
by ixtli 5y ago
Yeah it doesn’t seem like people here realize the way to get to a classless society is for the proletariat to suppress the upper classes and whither the state. That’s kinda the point!

The solution to the energy crisis isn’t to relax risk tolerance when political will and capital allocation are all that is necessary.

This behavior is rewarded in the world of founders though. It’s always fun to watch people like this confront serious regulation. I once advised a startup that had to deal directly with HIPAA and the petulance of these MBAs was honestly kin

The history of nuclear administration in Japan should teach us that privatization of nuclear energy generation is a bad idea. I realize a lot of people will read this who have specialist knowledge on the subject but that’s not really releva

This is a great essay. Also, the problem is capitalism and the fact that the argumentation won’t stop should probably tell us something.

More to this point: you have some form of redress against the government. None against Murdoch unless you are very rich. If this isn’t obvious then you don’t know much about the BBC. If anything, I’d argue they spend too much time hand-wr

Publicly, for instance. I think this is bad faith because it’s clear OP means it should be free at point of use. I doubt they’re arguing the people who create it shouldn’t be compensated. There are many ways to do this.

More than half of these links are dead. We’ve regressed on microfilm, honestly.

I personally don’t think it’s a good idea for lay people to be using systems where they can’t delete their user data. Maybe Apples isn’t the right platform for such things.
