Adding to my reading list!

I think there are plenty of people that want to fix these issues, but at least in the US (and I guess anywhere that is falling into fascism), they are locked out or hindered by politicians and other ghouls who are too preoccupied stripping everything for parts before they ultimately bail and leave behind a fucking mess (2008 housing crash vibes).

Apparently! It’s crazy.

Crises are a feature of capitalism. Marx talked about this. Things become hell for the working class, and the capitalists reap the rewards.

It’s probably not an accurate number, but there’s an app that will give you an estimate of what your MC username is worth if sold. I recall mine being a lot because the name is 5 characters, nothing random, and contains no numbers.

Java version forever. My username is apparently worth like $5k because I’ve had it since Minecraft was $12.

It’s kind of evening out now. It was a fad for a lot of users that came over, but there’s now a good amount of westerners like myself that have stuck it out, are learning a lot, and making connections. I wasn’t a TT user myself and instead was simply trying to find a new way to connect with people and avoid the negativity that permeates western social media.

I’m learning Mandarin, so usually stuff like HelloChinese, or I’ll get on Rednote, and Lemmy.

Zuck is an ass kisser with no friends. Fuck him. Get off his platforms if you haven’t already.

Free = you’re the product. I’d rather continue to pay for Mullvad at $5 per month.

It’s been a nice window into their culture and daily lives, and they’ve been extremely welcoming. As an American that is pretty much burnt out on my country’s bullshit and inability to be respectful and friendly, that is a breath of fresh air.

Henry Ruleins (orcas.enjoying.yachts)
 

A meme that shows an image of Jordan Peterson on the left, and Henry Rollins on the right. The title at the top reads:

Why listen to glorified motivational speaker Jordan Peterson when you can just listen to Henry Rollins

The left column below Peterson reads:

  • Thinks there is a "crisis in masculinity"
  • Insists that the "hero's journey" is a long, strenuous process
  • Never collaborated with Tool
  • Zero scene cred
  • Writes self-help books

The right column below Rollins reads:

  • Never belittles or puts you down for your inner turmoil
  • "Hero time starts. Right. Now."
  • Provided a visceral monologue on Tool's debut album
  • Well respected in the music scene
  • Writes about his travels and interacting with foreign cultures
