Everyone won’t agree, but retirement should be mandatory at 50 so people have real time to enjoy life. I’m 33, and I don’t want to spend another 35 years working just to feel free at the end.

"Earning" a Living! We have accepted the premise that human beings must "pay" to exist on the planet they were born onto. We are the only species on Earth that pays to live. We trade the healthiest, most vital years of our lives (20s through 50s) performing repetitive tasks, often in artificial lighting, just to secure food and shelter.. things that nature provides us for free, but civilization has paywalled.

i really will never get over this shot because what do you mean you’re looking out the window at your dead wife’s grave while standing next to your girlfriend who is part of a hivemind that holds all of your wife’s memories but is also responsible for her death.

The weird thing about reading so much as a child and gaining a huge vocabulary from that is I can't define a lot of the words I use, I just...know that they would fit correctly in a specific sentence? Does anyone else experience that?

This bizarre escalating social hysteria over transgender people is really alarming. There are 98,000 trans folks in the entire fucking country. There are 29m male presenting straight men. And they’re responsible for more than 95% of all offences against women. Do the maths.

I don't know if this Lucy Letby is innocent or guilty but when she was found guilty at 1st thousands and thousands of people said she should be hung etc ... this case alone is how we don't have the death penalty anymore

This is not why I so viscerally reject AI. I’m not terrified of it, I’m angry. I’m angry at how it devalues creative and intellectual labor and accelerates its theft, how it steers us toward a consensus of averages, its climate and water impact, how it hyper-enriches billionaires

And… this is why we have people positively terrified of tech. We need to amplify more voices who are thinking about this completely differently, so that people can understand what most people working in AI are up to β€” and it’s not this.

Landlords like to act as if they’re simply receiving compensation for a service when the reality is that they’re hoarding a basic need and profiting off of functional extortion - giving you an option between paying them or living on the street and pretending they’re benevolent.

"I don't think landlords should profit." So if I own a home, and I allow you to rent it out so that you have a place to stay, I shouldn't profit??? People really don't live in reality.

made me remembered again about this (original post by @/mathewsmarz)
Most people don't spend a lot of time thinking about poetry, right? They have a life to live, and they're not that concerned with Allen Ginsberg's poems or anybody's poems! Until... Their father dies, they go to a funeral, you lose a child,

ALT Most people don't spend a lot of time thinking about poetry, right? They have a life to live, and they're not that concerned with Allen Ginsberg's poems or anybody's poems! Until... Their father dies, they go to a funeral, you lose a child,

somebody breaks your heart, they don't love you anymore. And all of a sudden, you're desperate for making sense out of this life. "Has anybody ever felt this bad before? How did they come out of this cloud?"

people who say β€œwhy do we need [fine arts, humanities degrees, mid-budget films] when they don’t make a ton of money?” are insufferable. why do we need chrysanthemums? why do we need bonfires or baleen whales or the color blue? we just do. we just do.
