Those are some cute beans!

I thought all the Russian bots were gone. WTH are you doing here buddy? Are you missing your other bot friends?

I mean small bits of democracy exist everywhere. Charity groups often work as a democracy. The youth organization I was in as a kid operated as a great democracy.

There are little democratic groups all over the world working just fine. It’s the large scale corporate hellscape that keeps it from working for us as a whole.

Even not running a full dishwasher we’re still only running it once a week, if not longer. We tend to reuse dishes if they can be i.e. made popcorn twice this week and just keep using the same bowl cause why not.

Honestly, this is nothing compared to what Jasmine Crockett went through. I’m sincerely disappointed in Texas for not voting for her.

I wish I could afford an EV or Hybrid 😭

If there’s a system that works for you and isn’t impacting others why not do it? My entire family basically lives out of laundry baskets and chaos drawers. We don’t fold our clothes. If something gets a little wrinkled we toss it in the dryer for a second before we wear it.

I don’t know, I just think for me at least, as someone with Audhd I grew up being told there were “rules” to keeping a clean house like only run the dishwasher full, or sort your laundry by color… but they are sort of old dumb rules.

A full dishwasher means I’m literally out of dishes for my small family, laundry can be washed on cold and be fine for most things, just find systems you can live with and follow… screw the rules.

Read as: we’re already doing this and this is how we let you know

Episode 2 was amazing! For more context, it was created by Dana Terrance who also made The Owl House for Disney. Main character is queer, and it’s all about being an outcast in a society that demands conformity.

She obviously did not have an easy time of it with Disney and it shows in KoG!

Democracy works, the problem is we don’t have a true democracy. We have corporate capitalist democracy. It’s a system that makes most people think it’s democracy — but it’s not.

Democracy and capitalism can not exist in the same stratosphere if democracy is to succeed.

Artificial intelligence… did I do it? Am I the enemy now?

Let it pop! Let it pop! No bailouts for billionaires. Just let the fucking system collapse. I’ll happily go back to a trade a barter system of some kind.

Try being a woman for a change and maybe you’ll understand it bud.

I was downvoted to hell for saying this on the original post.

It is a privilege to be able to “vote with your conscience” when you’re life isn’t literally hanging in the balance of that vote.

Whether we like it or not, we are a two party system at the moment and voting third party in a presidential election is a wasted vote. I don’t care what anyone else says.

As cool as Tom is he still has the privilege of voting as white man, which is a very different experience compared to the rest of us.

This is easily the third time today you’ve said something correct and insightful and been downvoted to hell.

The fuck is wrong with Lemmy?

So what you’re saying is, you shop on Amazon because it’s easy… yeahhh that’s not a good enough excuse.

Why are so many of you still shopping with Amazon? Genuinely I do not understand it.

I wouldn’t give Amazon a fucking dime

But the mass majority of AI use is fucking bullshit so please don’t cape for this insanity because 1% of AI isn’t bad.
