I think you’re just picking up on the fact that we’re better than everyone else. It’ll sink in eventually and you’ll become one of us.

For instance, you probably posted this comment on a malware-laden capitalist phone or, even worse, a store-bought computer running Windows, with dirty factory electricity.

I, on the other hand, am posting this comment on a solar-powered pc built entirely of recycled parts, purchased locally and anonymously with foraged currencies. I haven’t seen a single advertisement in my entire life, and while I do run Linux,I won’t tell you which distro it is (Arch, btw) unless you ask.

You’ll get it eventually, unless you’re a tankie. Or a liberal. Or a vegan (or not a vegan, we haven’t made up our minds on that yet).

Yep that’s how taxes fucking work

I think a whole lot of us need to become ICE agents, and fill our quotas by arresting Republicans in red districts.

Cheese and a rhyme scheme, phenomenal.

If only this could have been prevented🙄

Are you on DXM right now? What is the title of your post supposed to mean?

This is the most sensible answer here, honestly. The sentiment and intent are admirable, but you’re opening yourself up to a lot of potential risk.

What an incredible self-own lol.

Save your bacon fat in a jar, it’s clutch. You can do the same with beef tallow. Need to saute some onions for rice and beans? Bam, fry them in bacon fat. Stew recipe calls for vegetable oil to saute your carrots? Fuck that, tallow it. Some traditions exists because they work.

“my food tastes terrible, don’t eat at my house”

Have you considered self-hosting Plexamp? It supports lossless quality and lets you both steam and download your music at any bitrate you want (even 128 if you really have to, but fuck me that hurts to type.

That’s what I do, and before long trips with spotty service I’ll download a dozen albums or so in flac so I’ve got a decent lossless selection for flights/etc

Spoiler: it involves food

Trying to think of an appropriate vehicle to name “Toast the Knowing”

I name my bicycles.

Steely Fran is my touring and every day ride (she’s a Salsa Vaya, a steel-frame gravel bike)

Moon Unit is my fat-tire bike for snow, dirt, and rockhopping fun.

It’s not exactly what you’re referring to, but “Twisters” - the sequel to the tornado movie - was pretty weird.

The expression “it takes a village to raise a child” applies here. It’s impossible for a parent to be with their child at all times. Children aren’t always at home, and a lot of parents suck, don’t care, or are just misinformed. YouTube is available everywhere, including at schools and libraries. Look at it like smoking. We recognize that cigarettes are dangerous and cause cancer, therefore children can’t buy them. Social media companies - and let’s stop pretending YouTube isn’t social media, it very much is - are today’s big tobacco. They need regulated, and not doing so is causing tremendous societal harm.

While all of that might be true, YouTube is also a for-profit cesspool of trash content, hate speech, and misinformation. An entire generation of gen z manosphere Nazi bootlickers got where they are watching “gaming videos” on YouTube.

It auto plays by default and their algorithms are dogshit, so you might start watching an educational video with your kid, but end up on a flat earth video fifteen minutes later, or much much worse.

When my son was younger, we severely limited his YouTube time and closely monitored what he was watching on it. Most parents don’t do that.

I dislike legislation like this too, but we’re not talking about PBS or a library here. Kids truly shouldn’t be on YouTube unattended.
