Ahh its the third season. Just looked it up, episode 11 urban matrimony and the sandwich arts when Shirley is getting remarried and Britta comes through with the exceptional decor and flower arrangements. "This is who I aam"

This may shock you, but I come from a long line of wives and mothers

If you haven't seen it yet, I'd highly recommend solo leveling.

This is kind of how I try to describe cooperatives to some people. It works if you think of freedom and autonomy as conservative ideas which cooperatives bring without central planning socialism, while still being socialist. Also been pleading my leftist circles for years to try to appeal to a wider audience in a similar way. If only we recognize that we've all been lied to and propagandized to believe in capitalism, speaking in a way the "right" can get on board with would only help them start listening to reasonable solutions.

I think people are more than that. The point being that nothing is inherently wrong with making individualistic self serving choices except when there is disregard for others. But people can also be compassionate, alturistic, giving, and cooperative, so how about a system that rewards the better parts of human nature?

Capitalist markets are built off of the idea that people are inherently self serving and the ensuing competition will benefit people with lower prices, better products, etc to meet their own selfish needs. Capitalism uses capital to gain more capital, and is exploitative by design. When a company acts in a way to maximize profits, and appease shareholders, they're doing it selfishly, with total disregard for others or the environment, in a system that rewards their actions. This is quite like psychotic, or sociopathic, behavior.

I just think trying to control this is a losing battle, and what we really need are foundational changes to values, motives, and what gets rewarded and how.

I disagree. I think that may actually be the only way out of this mess. "Cooperation [being nice, forgiving, but not a pushover, and clear] pays even among rivals" (Veritasium - Prisoners Dilemma).

Death by unfortunately misinterpreted font. There are worse ways to go.

There's an idea on the left about building horizontally, or from the ground up, for there to be something to fall back on after the inevitable collapse of capitalism. These are things like community food systems, mutual aid, cooperatives, land trusts, etc. The left is active in local politics, supporting unions, organizing, and so on. Not all of us that worry this system may be beyond saving are actually just waiting to die, but doing what we can where we can with limited resources.

On that first step there's also ctrl-a to select all don't forget

We bond over that shared trauma, then go kick rocks together to cope.

The way all of this is discussed and phrased paints a sort picture, in some peoples minds, of white men being evil. The problem is that this capitalist society is too isolatating, individualistic, and distracting for everyone to properly empathize with the struggles of others, so we end up with these people on the defensive. We're left with a portion of the population supporting a proper biggot like trump to now justify they're own existence.

If only we could have all been properly educated.. but its all just distracting from the fact that everyone suffers from an oppressive and exploitative system, some more than others. But its probably about time for a more uniting class conscience form of rhetoric.

I can read docs and would be interested in an internship... Paid ideally, but would love to have a mentor to learn devops. I also know multiple programming languages and am comfortable in a terminal

We're all messed up because we've built a society that isolates and exploits us while rewarding psychotic behavior via corporations or people acting selfishly without regard for others

Now if only I could afford the van, I too could be homeless. Just like I've always wanted.

Its MIT licensed. Meaning the code is open but the license is permissible in that copy's can be subsequently closed. This is unlike with the GPL most generally associated with open source code.

Its the electric motors that should outlast an ICE vehicles. Its just a simpler design with less moving parts. They use rotational energy directly rather than converting translational energy via pistons and a drive train requiring a transmission, lubrication, cooling, and regular maintanence. Non of that is hardly needed with an ev, at least to a signifactly smaller degree. An induction motor doesn't even have parts that touch anything to rotate.

Not to mention that should a battery technology develop with anything close to the energy density of gasoline, evs should be able to achieve ranges in the 1000s of miles.

100% agree that the hardware and software should be open sourced though.

Aside from the batteries needing to be replaced at some point, electric vehicles should far outlast their ICE counterparts. A significant breakthrough in batteries could make that well worth it.

I'd love a right to repair, but also prefer to just get rid of capitalism. Not that these have to be mutually exclusive.

Food feels great when shared communally. Pretty sure it's hard for a lot of people to eat because we've sort of lost that as a society.

I imagine if they were properly communist, the US would have never allowed them to rise. There'd have been assassinations, coups, and purposeful destabilizations like we saw in south america.
