Oh, I just got a lovely nah-uh in my inbox: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/21448556

But please let’s be discreet and not upset the critters further.

You can be an anarchist and poke fun at naive interpretations of anarchism. I don’t think you have to read “all anarchists are like these hypothetical human pets” into that joke.

equates it with anarcho primitivism

Hey, it specifies solarpunk. The fellas have at least solar panels in there. And they know how to use pharamaceuticals.

I’ll grant that gathering medication in the bushes is a little on the nose.

It’s paternalistic, all right, but that’s something different. I have a toddler, I should know.

Disagree, I think there’s something there.

Something about baby anarchists who get the spiritual lessons but stubbornly refuse to engage with the complexity of the world and try to naively derive practices straight from theory which end up laughably ineffective. In contrast, once it truly sinks in how fucked and complicated the world is and how powerless your faction is your political practice starts looking more “normal” ™️, but you harbor no ill will against the enthusiastic baby anarchists and sort of envy their lifestyle.

Might be wrong, can’t read OPs mind. But somehow it doesn’t feel mean-spirited.

This a solved problem. The solution is called the electric screwdriver. If you want one as a prosthetic, go for it.

Hey, Niue will have you know that they are merely in free association with New Zealand and had their independence in foreign relations recognized by the UN.

Niue, New Caledonia, Wallis and Futuna, Tokelau, and American Samoa for starters.

PS: admittedly, some of those are dependent territorries

I’m scared of no continental Worldle!

Wikipedia:

Meyer, who owns several homes and travels in a private jet, has been criticized for living an excessive lifestyle. She does not defend her spending habits, saying “there’s no need for us to apologize for being blessed.” Meyer commented, “You can be a businessman here in St. Louis, and people think the more you have, the more wonderful it is … but if you’re a preacher, then all of a sudden it becomes a problem.”

I’m not gonna fault an american for an opinion like that, but if you’re involved with european leftists who are too busy virtue signalling to adopt any pragmatic defense policy positions, you get a real appreciation for the nuance.

I agree. We should uphold the social convention that observing human poop is generally an opt-in experience.

The best time to give up on a stupid idea was before you started.

The second best time is now!

Pointer against AI is that Trump is lower resolution than the rest of the pic. Like a far away news camera vs. a high res movie camera.

My guy, have you been made aware that there were methods for image manipulation around before AI, that could let you combine parts of different pictures into one picture?
