Yeah, the "Fulu" bit was a little on the nose but it was surprisingly good overall. I'm still worried about the rest of the season given the names of the episodes, but hopefully they're good.
Yup, this is extremely real. I've literally seen conservative carpenters do a political 180 when they saw a bunch of socialists (including a lot of LGBTQ+ folks) be the ones to show up and fight alongside them when they went on strike. Best way to get people to stop blaming the scapegoat of the week is to point to what the actual problem is.
I'm not the first to say it, but "Reddit and removing a feature without a replacement for it, name a more classic combination."
But yeah it's probably tied in to this "compensation for karma/engagement" scheme they've been talking about, which I almost guarantee is going to be some NFT/crypto scam.
Honestly not my experience in the real world. Most people very much want more control over their workplaces and lives in general. And a lot of conservatives do have accurate critiques of neoliberal parties like the Dems. It's just a matter of giving them a real option to improve things so they don't get misled into blaming the scapegoat of the week.
Obviously the internet is a different story, but "terminally online people love to argue forever" isn't unique to political leanings.
Yep, plus the whole "socioeconomic system that requires ever-increasing profits and nonstop production for the sake of production" means industries are going to continue to put out enough pollution (since it's more profitable than sustainable production) to render individual decisions to switch from cars to bikes effectively meaningless.
And to be clear this isn't meant to be a doomer-post. Just saying we've gotta fix this shit from root cause, not rely on individualistic measures.
For the average user maybe, but for a client as big as Twitter they're probably going to want to take a more hands-on/careful approach, so whatever's in the contract would probably supersede their standard terms.
They're still pigs. Guinea pigs, but still.
