  • How do you feel?

    Jump

  • No. Not unless the other party clearly knows that I'm arguing for a position that isn't mine. Haven't really had the opportunity to do that on Lemmy.

    That being said, I do most of the counter argument stuff with myself to arrive at a given position. Or, read other people's debates on the matter.

  • Does anyone here want / already have children?

    Jump

  • Definitely want kids in the future (adopted AND birthed if that's a word)!

    The world has tons of beauty to witness and look at. So many things to do! So many amazing people to meet, be friends with and chill out with! So many celestial bodies to learn about! Just so much of cool stuff to do.

    That being said, I highly doubt I'd be comfortable having kids for at least 7 more years. I kinda want to live the fuck out of my "no responsibility"/edgy phase, while create the material conditions necessary to raise kids.

    I know I'll get there eventually though. Having kids is expensive, but not prohibitively expensive (at least where I live).

  • How do you feel?

    Jump

  • Mostly, yes a lot!

    Writing about my thoughts, opinions and positions has helped me understand them even better!

    You're rarely going to change anyone's position online, as sadly most aren't arguing in good faith. BUT responding to rebuttals from others and questions (good faith or bad faith) leads to a very cool intellectual exercise where you get to probe your positions from so many different angles.

    If things become toxic or brain-rotty, then you can just disengage without explanation! Kinda cool actually!!!

  • Maybe a clothing line?

    Jump

  • Haha yeah, I was literally talking about this with a friend earlier.

    The corporations (at least in Canada) have successfully managed to monetize KINDNESS. That's what tipping culture is!!! Reduce base pay like anything, because "hey, people are kind- they'll donate the rest of that wage we reduced anyway".

    Capitalism is incompatible with a functioning society.

  • Russia: Vologda Governor Runs Out of Gasoline After Telling Public Not to Panic Over Fuel Shortages

    Jump

  • Russia running out of gas is the funniest thing

  • I have been waiting to post this

    Jump

  • I fail to understand time and time again how people can tolerate those little annoying squeakers. They aren't even cute ffs.

    That being said, firecrackers just suck. Animals, babies, the elderly, folks sensitive to loud noises, folks with war related PTSD, the environment, all of this has to suffer because "oooo prettyyyyy".

    There are other forms of celebration and entertainment that do not have such negative externalities. Example: the opening ceremony of Paris 2024.

  • If most of the jobs get replaced by AI, how people will have income to spend on products which will likely be produced by AI itself?

    Jump

  • No, you aren't missing anything. You're right that some sort of basic income is inevitable (universal or not). Even if you are a raging capitalist, you still need the plebs to have SOME income to be able to purchase goods and services.

    However, for this to happen, it must be demonstrable that AI is actually causing high unemployment. Right now, while economic productivity is kinda increasing due to AI, unemployment isn't. When it happens:

    • Capitalists will advocate for BI.
    • Market socialists will advocate for BI combined with government/coop ownership over some or all means of production.
    • Socialists that prefer planned economics could advocate for an expansion of universal basic services.
    • Primitivists will advocate for bans on AI or whatever, I dunno.

    Massive unemployment is bad for everyone including the ruling class, as that leads to pitchforks, guillotines and chopped off heads.

  • Be honest: Do you still use mainstream social media?

    Jump

  • Insta: to watch furry femboy thirst reels YouTube: to watch stuff Snap: Nudes Reddit: See reactions to governmental policies. Also, I really love the askeconomics sub.

  • the world isn't kind

    Jump

  • Awooooooo

  • I did not consent to this

    Jump

  • It's all a joke at this point lol.

    "So what new evil schemes are big tech up to? Ah, installing LLMs on people's devices? Wonderful!"

  • What is a big internal debate within a fandom or hobby you are a part of that outsiders probably wouldn't care about?

    Jump

  • Yea, fuck the corpos. The fandom is perfectly good the way it is. I'd prefer more interest (and suiting) for therians tbh. The realistic side of fursuits that is. SUITS THAT DON'T LOOK UNCANNY.

  • What's a song where you like a remix or cover better than the original?

    Jump

  • Thick of it (Ray Walter Music remix)

  • I want to laugh too

  • While teaching is an underpaid profession, and good teachers deserve A LOT of respect for what they do, it has to be said that many many horrible people become teachers.

    I've had my fair share of these people. Would throw them off a cliff if I could lol
