This was a great read! It’s so fascinating how tape trading was basically a preview for things like Napster and file sharing.
I kinda wonder how they were able to add subtitles and things like that on top of the tapes, I’d imagine it took a lot of work.
This is pretty helpful for something like Zelda for me
In a row?
That’s not what Alakazam is talking about here though. Just by owning land, it generates money, magically, from “nothing”. And then the vast majority of landowners use that as excuse to entrench their wealth and then you get… Waves hands at hyperinflated rent crisis what we’re all stuck in now.
Whether someone wants to be one of the “good land owners” or not doesn’t change the fact that the system is set up for the ones that want to exploit it
Yeah, and I’m also not extracting grandma
You’re not supposed to have fun. You’re supposed to learn so you can get a job that you enjoy.
Hi, elder leftist here. The whole education system is already set up to produce obedient workers. If you don’t believe me, ask yourself how much time is spent teaching kids to organise effectively, or advocate for issues they care about. Or even just build good communication with their classmates, like how to react to bullying.
All that matters is to follow the authority, don’t question the rules, put the things in your head that they give you and nothing else.
The reason kids are bored in school is because the current system doesn’t address the real problems they have, so why should they care about the system.
This reminds me of that time Hemmingway tried to write a story with as few words as possible and came up with:
Baby shoes, never worn.
“I have to work 3 jobs to make rent and health insurance”
“But look at the numbers! We’re almost at full employment! Isn’t that great?”
This is a men’s lib forum, and men’s liberation is pro feminist (feel free to check the wiki or that nice bell hooks quote trending on this forum if you disagree).
By being a strong ally to women, men benefit too, and I choose to keep doing that.
You can have the last word if you like, I’m gonna peace out here.
Hey, you can argue with me all day, but the people taking men’s slice of the pie ain’t the feminists.
Let’s focus on the people shooting themselves into space on dick rockets and suits on the hill, and we’ll all benefit from it.
When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.
Feminism gave women all of the same rights and privileges as men
Feminism hasn’t done that yet, we’re nowhere near equal rights and opportunities for women and if you don’t believe me, look at the gender balance in US government roles and who has the money and power.
Let’s focus on dismantling patriarchy and the harm it creates for men as well.
Soft rain and an umbrella
Give yourself lots of time. It’s been years for me (slow, gradual process) and I still deadname from time to time. And I’ve learned to go easy on myself when it happens, it’s helped a lot in my case
Sounds like we need to make a c/fuckgolf
So I read the document, and I think it’s actually worse than what OP wrote. Looking through the curriculum, there’s a steady emphasis on African Americans as “patriots”
Identify African Americans who demonstrated heroism and patriotism (e.g.,Booker T. Washington, Jesse Owens, Tuskegee Airmen, Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, President…
And conveniently there’s no mention of how systemic racism and white supremacy still exist and oppress African Americans today. Garvey, etc. Are mentioned but conveniently in the past.
Which is what they want. Emphasize the model people and show that they can be patriots. Downplay what you don’t like. Maybe your definition of education is different but I don’t think it should be about saying we should all be good little flag salutors.
I agree that it’s rage bait, but you can’t trust Florida on this.
Btw the fact that America makes kids pledge an oath to a flag every morning is fucked up, just saying.
Or don’t teach your students working class history. Don’t want to give them any ideas make them think that going on strike is cool
The iPhone came out in 2007, about 16 years ago. Blackberries were popular, it wouldn’t have been too much of a stretch. But 30 years ago? Yeah probably
Good luck trying to sell the epic Tolstoy novel “And”
