  • One of the most nonsensical things I see, the whole downvoting things that you don’t like or don’t agree with, even if it’s still being put in a negative light or the person is just curious and asking about it. Happens all over reddit, especially in comments. Obviously if someone’s stating rather than questioning and being bad faith or argumentative then I can understand it but it still happens all the time when they aren’t







  • This made me wonder do uncontacted peoples have microplastics in them in large amounts like we all do? Like say the Sentinelese, for instance? I’m sure they do have some at least, despite them not using it, but maybe not nearly to the extent we do? This isn’t me advocating for using uncontacted peoples for studies and so on, obviously that’s not a moral way to go at all. Just a curiosity thing. If so, then if this is the huge ticking time bomb we suspect it might be then maybe we’ll all die off and they’ll be pretty much the only ones left. Maybe even unaware for the most part that we all died off. Yeah I’m just rambling at this point…






  • They wouldn’t do this when the better option for them is to make Mamdani’s ambitions for New York as hard as possible to bring to fruition. Even if they only hinder him a bit, any inability at all from Mamdani to do every single thing he wants to do (and things they claim he wants to do) will see relentless coverage in the right wing media (and likely also some from liberal media) in order to paint it as a “failed project” and how “unrealistic socialism is.” That serves them far better than just disappearing the guy

    I see your point about how they will try and make Mamdani look as bad as possible in the meeting but he could withstand it far better than Zelenskyy, I reckon. Nothing wrong with Zelenskyy on that front, just it’s obvious Mamdani would do better







  • I mean, that’s pretty damn queer-centric don’t you think? The actual and potential victims of fascism go way beyond just queer people. And there’s plenty flags, both now and historically, that are linked to antifascism. Most of them aren’t red, white and black

    Plus I’ve always found the progress pride flag kinda ugly, but that’s just personal. As a queer person who’s into vexillology, a fair few of our flags have that problem. It’s also been used by so many capitalists to falsely give themselves the appearance of being egalitarian



  • Ok but I’m not sure personally what my other option is? Of course there’s buying the music directly, which good on people for doing that. It is the best and most ethical way. But something I always find kinda frustrating about the “just buy your own music” comments that are always all over these posts is I have a very wide music taste and really like to keep up with new music too. I have over 12,000 songs saved on Spotify. I’m also broke, jobless and homeless. I’m sorry but doing that isn’t a viable option for me. I would love to be able to support all these artists but the best I can do is play their music a lot on Spotify and spread the word about them to others. I also go to a lot of gigs but so many acts that I like are big enough that they play big venues and are very expensive to see because of it.
