Reply to leftist required reading (2022) by twovests
all jokes aside i like how "leftist" ideas are becoming more mainstream and marketable but i dislike how they're being sold to us
"the boys" and "mr robot" are legitimately some of the best shows and i recommend them, and they have some good messages, anti-capitalist ones at that. but they don't dig very deep and they completely avoid concepts like "unions".
in "the boys", there are in-universe superheroes but also they make superhero movies, and the criticism ends at "haha sometimes superheroes are cringey" and not "hey, these super-expensive films couldn't exist in an ethical economic system", because that would implicate "the boys" irl as well.

This absolutely sucks, I hope you have a laundromat nearby. A laundry machine breaking is way more of an inconvenience than it has any right being :(

On a related note, jstpst is one of those sites I can happily say works great without Javascript. It even implements dropdown menus using that cool CSS trick!

Not to sound like a samey freeze-peacher, but I value transparency like this. The best forums have high moderation standards with clear reasoning.
This poster seemed to ride the line of blogspam, genuinityness unclear, but also this is just a silly lil internet forum. Bans are easy and free, and very cool
jst pst remains the best place to pst

I remember it being some jumbled and confusing mess, similar to uMatrix. Too much work for me!
Running JavaScript off by default is hassle enough, I used Brave because it's just one click to turn JS on or off per-domain.

Oh wow this works really well! And it seems Firefox lets us turn off auto-updates now.
This is way way more usable than uMatrix

How are you doing this? I've been doing it on Brave for awhile, but lol Brave, and I'd like to get onto Firefox or something.

Ah I misunderstood you. I thought you interpreted that as an unrelated and sincere suggestion from Moonside that we only listen to Chomsky and Jacobin

Also, the person we really ought to listen to is Noam Chomsky and the publication to read to stay informed on the war in Ukraine is The Jacobin.
What are you talking about???
I'm mainly lurking here but FWIW I read this as part of "The seeming conclusion", i.e. a take being criticized. I.e.
The seeming conclusion is [some stuff]. Also, the person we really ought to listen to is Noam Chomsky and the publication to read to stay informed on the war in Ukraine is The Jacobin.

Oh yeah, he's been gross in various ways for awhile. He has a variety of opinions, including on gender-neutral pronouns in English and Spanish.
(I got my StallmanFacts wrong though, he'd say Juiceri, not Juiceru.)
