I’m a “if I set this down I’ll never see it again” person. A “start with the minimum I think I’ll use and get more as necessary or I’ll become an accidental hoarder” person.

My hyperlocal newspaper.

I think that, uh, there it is.

Facial recognition is also AI, though.

You mean besides Arch Linux?

I’d say “models” instead of “actors”, but yeah. In addition to a general desire to consume porn with models that look like my spouse and avoid models that look my my cousins, I also have a specific desire to consume pornography that’s ethically sourced, and vetting a model or production company takes time and effort.

I find lemmy a lot more tolerant than most other social media, myself.

I ride a road bike, and I wish I rode a hybrid bike with a rear rack and panniers.

I drink anywhere from 24-72fz of tea a day. I don’t really keep track. Every year I take two weeks to get completely out from under the addiction, but since I enjoy tea it gradually creeps back. If I could find a decaffeinated tea that tastes good I’d put caffeine in the rear window completely. I abhor the idea of being addicted to anything.

My livejournal account, my email, and my website are all of an age, though the website is oldest. But my submissions on Z2 are my oldest artifacts on an active website.

blows all his money on isolation tanks, as I recall

that’s some rich people shit right there

poor? Isn’t he some hotshot lawyer?

Nah, I’m just checking it more often, which is a sign I need to take some preventative corrections towards my mental health now that I think of it

we called it “cat’s cradle” and yeah, we ‘played’ it in the American Midwest in the 80’s and 90’s

It was the tour for Earth vs. the Pipettes

Both have a somewhat idealized view of human nature, specifically vis-a-vis power vacuums.

But there are in fact both right- and left-libertatians. Right-libertarians more-or-less see people as a kind of business and think the government shouldn’t get in the way of businesses unless they’re engaged in unfair anti-competitive practices, because competition is the highest good. Left-libertatians see corporations as more-or-less hostile but useful entities that should be yoked to human interests, and that this kind of regulation is the role of government while leaving human individual behavior completely unregulated, because human liberty is the highest good.

Whereas anarchism is pretty much orthogonal to any economic axis. Ideally, there’s no entity to regulate economic forces and there’s no central currency, so who gets regulated and for what reason is an absent question. Corporations can’t exist under anarchism because they’re so clearly a predatory hierarchy that frankly I’m surprised we even allow them in regular society.

So, uh, teal dear long-story-short, no, they’re incompatible world views because libertarianism presupposes power structures abhorrent to anarchism.

Edited to fix a typo that significantly changed the meaning of a sentence.

They headlined a show my wife’s favorite local band was opening. I’d definitely see them again if they did another stateside tour.
