Capitalism is better than feudalism, yes. The problem is that Capitalism inevitably gets to the point where it is more detrimental to the population as a whole than it is beneficial (Global Warming, Wealth inequality, power imbalances, etc.), and that point is now.

Capitalism did bring us many advancements, but we have outgrown it. Just because it did good things at some point doesn’t mean that there isn’t something better. We should all be striving towards better as a species, but we aren’t.

Just to add on to what you are saying, around 62 percent of us live paycheck to paycheck. On top of that, we have at-will employment laws in most states, that allow an employer to fire a non-union employee for any reason they want, as long as they don’t violate federal labor laws. It’s also easy for employers to make up a reason for termination, even if they are violating said labor laws.

We need to unionize and get some power to the workers back in this country. People won’t do this kind of thing nearly as often if their livelihood isn’t at risk of being taken away.

A company where every single employee has control/voting rights. That would be a complete disaster.

Oh no, not co-ops! They give the people, who actually create the products and know how they work, voting rights on the companies direction? So dumb. Everyone knows its best to have a business person, whose sole focus is the stock market and shareholders, controlling the direction of every company.

/s in case it wasn’t glaringly obvious.

We could really do with some Socialist policies in the US right about now. If only half of the country wasn’t scared of the word, by itself.

You bring up a good point. What qualifies as a mask? Do fake beards and mustaches count? What about religious face coverings? What about people who have prosthetic noses? I have a feeling this is going to be a tricky one for them to enforce in any sort of reasonable way.

You seem like you want to be mad at something. I have no problem referring to you as whatever pronouns, names, sex, gender, etc. It’s just that we need words to describe chromosomal differences in biology and sex is what we chose to do that. Just in scientific fields. I am not saying that anyone’s personal sex identity is my business, but it is relevant in scientific and medical studies. Those are everybody’s business.

Not that I have any problem referring to trans people as whatever sex or gender that they would like to be referred to, and others shouldn’t either, but I think the distinction between biological sex and gender identity is important at least when speaking from a medical and scientific standpoint.

99.999 percent of us here would never have this problem because we will never be close to owning a private jet, even if we wanted to for some reason. I also think most of us here agree that owning a private jet is selfish, and since its kind of a problem brought on by her own selfishness, it’s kind of hard to feel bad for her.

This is one of the main problems with them. People install the new headlights themselves, or get it done at a cheap place where the mechanic doesn’t care, and nobody actually adjusts the angle of the lights like they are supposed to do.

Almost all new headlights come with instructions on how to calibrate and align them by using a wall in front of your vehicle. These instructions aren’t always easy to find if you aren’t aware of them, to be fair.

Idk where you are from or if you are trolling, but in the US they have school districts, and kids are supposed to go to the specific school designated for the school district where they live. It’s bullshit in this case, because the kids are homeless.

The word, Autistic, is just beginning this journey. I’ve seen people use that as an insult, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it is considered antiquated and insulting by the time I am old.

I just looked up some images out of curiosity and you aren’t lying. It looks like a little spider/robot/drone thing with the sole purpose of injecting it’s syringe full of DNA into things. Thanks for the rabbit hole.

Cool name. I have nothing productive to add, but Sage against the machine just came to me as I was reading your comment. Please feel free to do with it as you wish.

they’re just lead to believe that 8 year olds are getting their penises lopped off.

This is a huge part of it. A lot of these people have a huge misunderstanding of gender dysphoria and seriously think that people are convincing 8 year olds to have a sex change. It’s a lack of education and critical thinking skills that the leaders of right wing politics and religious/cult leaders have been perpetuating for a long time. Stupid people are easier to control.

That and a lack of empathy to even try to understand what another human is going through, especially if they are different from themselves. This too, probably stems from the same fascist playbook.

Thanks for the response and info, I really appreciate it! I will definitely let some of my family know about Anghami, because some of them actually listen to Arabic music, unlike myself.

I guess this would be an example of a tessellation, but one that moves to create an optical illusion. Very cool looking, indeed.

I have a 2017 vehicle with a manual transmission. It is probably one of the last of it’s kind and I fully expect my next vehicle purchase to be an ICE vehicle or at least the next big alternative fuel source. I have always driven old Japanese stick shifts until recently, and I can’t say I won’t miss it, but the future is now old man. I hope to get another 10 years out of my current vehicle, so it’ll at least be awhile.
