so, like, should I go fill up my gas tank for what might be the last time in a long while, or

yeah, it was the lack of the "oh shit I should probably do something about that RIGHT NOW and say it was a horrible mistake and be very apologetic" reflex that was more telling, really

I was going to reply to the OP with both these points but let's face it, these are cultists here

yes, I can't get enough of the dumb primitivist discourse today

you know, you can look over the plants and monitor them and still leave the RSI-and-musculoskeletal-disorder-inducing hours of picking berries off of them to the robots

we are legion 🚲💪

The genocide of Palestinians is not a price we pay for a modern standard of living. It is senseless. Pretending it serves a global purpose doesn't help.

WTF DO BERRY PICKING ROBOTS HAVE TO DO WITH GAZA

I'm going to lose my mind

pretty sure it didn't involve working dawn to dusk harvesting with a scythe from prepubescence until death, but hey, what has technology ever done for workers

you'll notice this poster isn't working on a farm still despite it being "nice work". funny how every civilization spends an absolutely gargantuan amount of effort specifically trying to avoid busting their ass on agriculture all day

*posting on a social media site whose existence only became remotely possible after the Renaissance, when the vast majority of human labor no longer had to be dedicated exclusively to food production*

"when has automation ever translated into more freedom for the working class?"

so is riding an e-bike, and this gatekeeping bullshit helps no one

why the fuck should they?

no, we don't, actually! read the post you were responding to again, and perhaps reconsider what you actually said

people with disabilities riding e-bikes are just being "babied" for their "laziness"? do you even hear yourself?

that's not enough; you have to be _more_ gullible than them so you buy in faster, before the rest of them do

I think the same thing of people in prominent positions in media and business right now. like, _this_ is the time where the strong show themselves. you've failed the test, really, really, really fucking badly. you won't be able to show your face in public in a decade

you keep thinking that it has to be that they're either evil enough to get theirs and not care, or just complete and utter cowards, and I actually think it's more the latter than the former, but jesus christ, how do you live with being that much of a fucking coward

suddenly wishing I went in on FSLR stock

nah, he was just pandering. he had a terrible temper but still had some notion of what it was to be a statesman, and was surrounded by functional (if still corrupt) adults who wouldn't have let him get there. no adults in the room now

we've already flirted with that situation once with this exact same president after January 6, and promptly committed to pretending it didn't happen

if we did not remove him from power, another nation would, possibly removing many of us from existence in the process

perhaps they should go to the courts to enforce the collection of their debt for this wrongdoing

the "no gods,no masters" poster is now demanding payment for their misgendering

stealing from whole foods to feel punk is the most embarassing shit i have ever heard in my life

if Mamdani is pushed to increase police patrols he should begin by directing them against rich kids in upscale grocery stores

shoplifting makes food more expensive for everyone else. this is not good for the poor. it is not good that lots of downwardly mobile folks in Park Slope, who have still nonetheless been dealt a better hand overall due to trust in society, want to pretend otherwise

I don't think this prediction will pan out but I wish it would

who isn't inspired by the thought of dying for Chevron

(well, it should _still_ be an important element of the job)
