I was but I found my way back.

The first blind man I’ve met on reddit. Hello.

Same. Art is in the eye of the beholder. I for example find Pollock just shit but there are those that pay actual money to see what a baby elephant could’ve made. All that modern art is talentless shit to me. But there are people out there who will vehemently defend it. There people out there who will pay money to go to a talentless art museum and come out feeling smug that they could recognise a piece made by some person who just had the luck to know the right people.

We all have our opinions about art, but they are just that, opinions. People will continue to throw shit at a wall or use period blood to drip onto a canvas and attach some grand message to it in order to call it art, and people will just generate a prompt and paste it into an AI art generator then share whatever looks pleasing to them.

And if you pay for a subscription, you don’t have to do the orphan launching yourself! Just lean back on your yacht with a tequila and watch the orphan get ballista’d out of the atmosphere. It’s a steal!

I know this is about the Vancer, but what’s this about single moms? Did he show up on Tinder or something?

Awesome! That sounds amazing. Does that mean less diesel and gasoline cars (or less cars in general)?

Yeah, that’s definitely a big problem in the west too. It just seemed like you were connecting high living standards to a polluting lifestyle. I hope Asia, Africa, and South America can just skip all the polluting bullshit and go straight to green. Good luck! I saw Thailand wants to have a high speed rail from its capital to the most northern city, which is great! At least that’s happening.

I’m Asian. Don’t take my just-rising living standards away from me.

Nothing is being taken away. You and your countries have the biggest chance at actually making things better! Rising living standards doesn’t mean “copy the West and all its mistakes”. Don’t look at the West as if they have it all figured out.

You could have walkable, green cities and towns, with amazing public transport! It costs less than forcing everybody to have a car, keeps more people healthy as there will be less pollution of all kinds (noise, particles, chemical, industrial, …), and makes for much happier citizens.

You could invest in green technologies like solar, wind, hydrogen, heat exchangers, etc. It will mean cheaper bills for everything (transport, heating, cooling, appliances, …) and much less dependence on foreign companies (once things are set up). No more oil and gas imports would be amazing for your country’s autonomy.

Going green doesn’t mean worse living standards, it means exactly the opposite. You could leapfrog the West and raise the living standards for millions of your countrymen and countrywomen.

And they’ll put more of us on the planet too, because it’s so wonderful here.

wat?

Please no. I don’t want to do this shit again.

1% own more wealth than 95% of humanity. There are more than 2k for sure. About 1% of 8M = 80k

Perfect for !twnw@fedia.io

We need to tax the wealth of these billionaires (and I think there’s even one trillionaire) back to a normal level of “rich”.

I’m kinda disappointed it was a sperm donor article again. My immediate thought was a family doctor hiding a misdiagnosis for decades or working with some pharmaceutical company to hide the effects of an agricultural product or something.

For not being USAian, your view and reading comprehension is.

The USAian view again:

• you don’t agree with me? you must be an enemy
• enemies have to die

Can’t be anything other than extreme. Absolutely everything is is black and what, right or wrong. You’re absolutely right or you’re absolutely wrong. There’s no in between. Trying to find a middle ground means you’re not agreeing with me --> you’re a nazi/communist/liberal/tankie.

USAians man…

Do we though? It’s on a platform owned by an autistic fascist, racist, and supremacist. There’s no other content that will really be allowed there.

Good marketing. Must have a Brit working on the team.

OK, understood. Thanks for the heads up.

I’m trying to say that if you’re a target of the fascists on Xitter, why would you willingly expose yourself to their abuse? It doesn’t seem like a fun nor productive activity unless you have a bot on there that’s trying to sway their opinion.
