It's been incredibly in your face if you aren't a privileged white person since basically the dawn of the country, with a small period of kind-of-not-really-thoufh improvement around WWII. Workers rights have always been shat on, being poor sucks and keeps getting worse with every year that m4a isn't a thing, and being a visible minority obviously also sucks what with the whole police murdering you thing or ICE gestapo knocking on your door etc.

Frankly I hope they ramp it up, because maybe it'll at least open up peoples eyes to all the other insane sorts of injustices that go on.

Libertarians (the right wing kind, at least) pretty commonly get made fun of/characterized as pedophiles among other things so they probably did mean libertarian lol

Luv too celebrate imperialism, very cool

Inconsistent commands are pretty annoying - why is it git stash list instead of git stash -ls or --list?

You're too used to 8 hours - its been the standard for as long as you've been alive, but there is no good or scientific reason for it.

The work day used to be 12 (or in some cases more) hours, and a lot of people fought and literally died to get it down to 8. And the expectation wasn't that it would stay there - instead, the common idea was that as productivity due to technological advances etc. would keep pushing it down to only a few hours per day.

Instead, productivity has soared and the parasitic capitalists of the world and their legion of class traitor middle managers have managed to convince people that 8 hours is somehow perfect even though rarely anybody even actually works 8 hours these days - how long is your commute? Do you get work related alerts on your phone? Coworkers/bosses messaging you? That's all time wasted thinking about work. This small group of people - probably what, no more than 5000 out of 7bn people? Are hoarding and stealing obscene amounts of ill gotten gains, killing the planet in the process and ruining probably billions of lives, while we sit here and argue about whether or not we "deserve" to work less or whatever.

What's the harm in it? The amount of urine is negligible in relation to the water, and unless you're sick with a UTI or something urine is sterile anyways.

I don't get it the other way around - why do people freak out about it? I don't care one way or the other whatever or not people piss in the pool next to me - its like somebody splashing you with water in the middle of a rainstorm.

"This is enough money" generally not being a thing is an inherent issue and contradiction of capitalism. Hopefully more people will realize the absolute ridiculousness and damage the idea of infinite growth the system has baked into it causes to people and nature.

The average person doesn't have the ability to do that because the average person doesn't really have agency.

>the average person has never had a good life, and probably never will

Because our society doesn't care about people, only capital. There's nothing wrong with the average person, its that the average person is born into an environment where everything is working against them.

And I think it's pretty clear that as we reach unprecedented levels of income inequality - especially with climate change being a thing - that the inherent contradictions of the system are becoming more and more obvious. The yellow vest protests are a clear example of this. If we're lucky it'll end well, but whether or not the ruling class will take control of the situation and steer us towards fascism remains to be seen.

What you want is a monad.

Instead of loading up every language with stupid keywords that are meant to simplify monadic code (but only for one domain), language designers should really take a page out of Haskell or Scala's book and think seriously about unifying on a do notation/for comprehension type construct.

That way regardless of if you're working with promises or not, you don't have to worry about hacking it with && or nesting 10 layers deep with if/else.

Suckless is at best satire and if we're being honest just plain idiotic.

Without fail every suckless person I've talked to either has no idea what they're talking about, or in the off chance they do they're incredibly shitty far right wing types who gripe on about women/minorities/CoCs ruining tech.

ACAB.

The entire police system is inherently corrupt and racist and needs to be torn down. Also, regardless of whether or not its a few bad apples (hint: given how extremely fucking common these problems are, it absolutely is not just a few) the point still stands that the "not bad" cops are still guilty of supporting their coworkers and enabling their unacceptable behavior.

You mean in a manner similar to the united states at the moment? :^)

China has some serious issues, but people acting like this is out of the norm is ridiculous. The US is afraid of Chinas rising influence/power and these sorts of articles attacking it are a common tactic.

Like, great - there's no explicit social credit system in the US on an app where you're barred from leaving the country because of who you're friends with. Instead, there's an implicit one where the NSA gets to spy on all your shit (similar to what happens in China), where you're arbitrarily put on a watch list or no-fly list (similar to China), and depending on your ethnicity and/or family you may get unjustly targeted by the state with no real way of defending yourself (again, similar to China).

I'd almost prefer it be done the Chinese way, because at least then the problem is obvious. As it is in the states, like half the country can't even fucking agree that maybe there might be a problem with women & minority rights, immigration, police brutality, etc.

And instead of taking the opportunity to nationalize them, our useless neoliberal leaders instead went "uhh okay lol heres some money pls don't do that thing we all know you'll do".

Yes, but the state isn't leeching off of the people. My point is wrt landlords in the sense of people who do nothing, provide no value, and make money solely by virtue of "I/my ancestor was here first I/they bought this when there was less people so gimme money".

I don't see where you get your conclusion from. For many (most?) people, they really don't have a chance to fight their landlord. Legal expenses, time, energy, etc. are pretty huge deterrents. Not sure why you can't fight a "state-landlord", also.
