I was actually walking this older dog, and getting impatient because it kept stopping to sit despite not seeming winded or stressed or anything being wrong, so I was like c’mon, c’mon, let’s get moving – we have to finish the walk…

But then I realised it was stopping at intersections and just, like, looking around casually. So I decided that rather than coax it onward I would wait with it.

We watched people going by, cars pulling in and out of driveways, listened to other dogs barking in the distance, sniffed at the wind whenever it picked up… I tried to figure out how many birds I could hear. It was really nice.

And then the dog seemed satisfied, so stood up and we continued our walk.

tl;dr a dog taught me how to chill tf out.

I have visible votes turned off, but this is brilliant

Rather than build for humanity they build for the demon capital.

Thanks for your efforts. I’m a bit of a medievalist, so I actually like the lossy warmth of the original.

My emails are: correspondence, article follow-ups, LAN party planning, and of course the occasional Luis Vuitton handbag offer (quite reasonably priced, actually).

I do have the kind of transactional message slop you describe, but I have a seperate email address for those.

But the timestamps; all the context

Sharper image though

I wish I could do like a title tag, like foo <abbr title="bees are regal">bar</abbr> baz.

It’s an ongoing conversation, like you say. For my part, I think a good start would be introducing more democracy into workplaces. Like having workers vote on their managers, work conditions, etc. And have other members of the public voting on what projects city infrastructure workers are undertaking.

And then of course a dialogue about how to make it happen – like making sure the infrastructure workers feel valued, and are getting everything they need to succeed.

I hear you because I’ve had the same exact thoughts, but I think you may be committing the classic blunder of conflating rules with rulers.

You can still have rules, norms, mores, leaders, even I believe laws under anarchism – you just can’t have absolute, unrevocable authority.

This image is so old it’s starting to grow mold. I still love it, though. Thanks for sharing, op.

Tbh this community is all about shitty pithy take with huge comment section going incredibly deep.

I like it.

They’re afraid frog is starting to notice the water’s getting hotter, so they need to move faster

Well you see if they burn everything else, then their part becomes much more valuable. It’s like taking half the pie and then shitting on the rest.

But have you considered the negative consequences of requiring the executive branch to avoid willfully committing war crimes? /sarcasm

It is. And also how nature was really rapidly healing just because we reduced the number of people commuting by combustion engine… and then we just went back to how things were?? Like we didn’t even want to try and learn from it.

COVID was a historic inflection point in so many many ways, and I fear that we’ve completely wasted it.

Tyyy. Also these are such cool designs. As little as I was actually interested in playing this game, I had to admit the aesthetic was so cool.

I hope the artist is made whole from this, or at last gains some more patrons (https://antireal.info/)

It’s the everything

You tried vaping? I had to use pretty high nic juice, but it got me off coughin’ nails, and eventually off vaping too.

Lol even the ads aren’t real, like how did we fuck up so bad as a civ

I really felt this almost sense of justice when extroverts were forced to quarantine and were getting cabin fever after like 3 days.

Explaining to them that the discomfort they felt is what I felt every single day I had to go out into their world with all their eyes always looking at my face and making noises at me.
